Re: Gregory Smith Page 2 of 2
• Decking was re-nailed every 6’’ O.C. in field and along perimeter using galvanized 8d, 2 3/8”
ring shank nails.
• Over the roof deck was installed the ABC PRO Guard 20 Synthetic Roofing waterproof
underlayment, and it is 50% overlapped to meet code. Overlaps were 3’’ onside laps following
printed guidelines and 6’’ O.C. at end laps, both per install instructions. Underlayment was
fastened every 6’’ O.C. on side and end laps and every 12’’ O.C. in the field per manufacturer
install instructions.
• Fasteners for underlayment were 1 ¼”, 12-gauge electro-galvanized ring shank nails which
comply with ASTMF 1667.
• One layer of Owens Corning asphalt shingles of color Estate Gray was installed. Those shingles
were installed in a nail pattern consistent with the manufacturer recommendations on the
packaging for 6 nail applications. This repeats for the other side. 6 nails were used per sleeve.
Nails used were smooth shank coiled electrogalvanized roofing nails, 1 ¼’’.
• 2.5’’ white drip edge metal sheets in the shape “L” were installed on all eaves and rakes to
protect from flashing and from water beneath shingles. Overlaps were a minimum of 4’’. Nail
spacing was a maximum of 2’’ and 1 ¼” roofing nails were used. Drip edge was applied over the
underlayment. Roofing cement was applied a minimum of 4’’ over the drip edge flange. Finally,
shingles were installed on the top of all drip edge.
• 3 new lead pipe boots were installed. Roofing cement was placed on top of the underlayment
where the vent was to be placed. Vent was placed and then secured with smooth roofing nails
1 ¼’’. Top of the flange is under shingles, while the bottom rests on top.
• 4 new off ridge vents were installed on top of the underlayment so that top and side flanges
are under shingles and bottom is on top of shingles.
Sincerely,
