A roof is constantly battling the elements. If you don't take care of your roof, mold and mildew can build up. Because of this, it is important you have the proper tools to take care of your roof. First you will need a utility knife. They can be used to cut drywall, trim asphalt roof shingles, and slice through fiberglass insulation. They are relatively safe to use since the razor-sharp blade can be retracted. Besides a utility knife make sure you buy a roofing hammer with a straight claw. Invest in a circular saw to cut singles or panels. This electrically-powered tool can cut roof panels and plywood sheathing into an array of different sizes. To hammer nails in, abandon the manual hammer and opt for a nail gun. Compressed air is used to force the nails from the loaded gun strip unto the sheathing or shingles. residential roof repairs
