A roof is constantly battling the elements. If you don't take care of your roof, mold and mildew can build up. It is important you have the right tools to take maintain your roof. First you will need a utility knife. Utility knives can be used to cut drywall, trim asphalt roof shingles, and slice through fiberglass insulation. Utility knives are relatively safe to use since the razor-sharp blade can be retracted. Besides a utility knife make sure you purchase a roofing hammer with a straight claw. To cut wood, shingles or roofing panels, a circular saw would be the best tool. 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.Residential roofing repair estimates Athens GA
