The wood deck is the structure of the roof. The next step is to remove and replace any rotted wood. The third step in the process is to install insulation boards across the roof.
In this video, the fourth step is to install a self-adhesive barrier. A self-adhesive barrier from Firestone is used to avoid having to make unnecessary holes in the decking of the roof that traditional barriers require. The final and fifth step is to roll out the granulated roof membrane. This presenter shares the types of roofs that can be offered by a roofing contractor that will violate the housing codes in NYC and in some cases cause serious structural damage to your home.
