Project: Windproof a Roof

Watch Mike Guertin in his second of two webinars on roofing details that can withstand extreme weather conditions.

By Mike Guertin

Nor’easters, hurricanes and even blustery days can rip shingles off a roof and leave it vulnerable to leaks. Learn what measures you can take to reduce the risk of roof damage during wind storms: Shingle selection, nail selection, nailing pattern and location, edge-sealing shingles, proper drip edge installation, starter strip selection and installation, as well as specialty products.
