• Cut felt, shingles, and strips of flashing; and fit them into angles formed by walls, vents, and intersecting roof surfaces.
• Install vapor barriers and/or layers of insulation on the roof decks of flat roofs, and seal the seams.
• Cut roofing paper to size using knives; and nail or staple roofing paper to roofs in overlapping strips to form bases for other materials.
• Cover exposed nailheads with roofing cement or caulking to prevent water leakage and rust.
• Install partially overlapping layers of material over roof insulation surfaces, determining distance of roofing material overlap using chalk lines, gauges on shingling hatchets, or lines on shingles.
