When replacing a roof, several materials are typically needed. Some of the most common materials include: -Roofing underlayment: A material that is installed between the roof deck and the shingles or other roofing material to provide a moisture barrier and additional insulation. -Roofing felt: A type of underlayment made of paper or fiberglass that is often used in residential roofing. -Roofing shingles: The main covering material for the roof. They can come in different types such as Asphalt, Wood, Metal, Tile, etc -Roofing nails or staples: Used to attach the shingles to the roof deck. -Roofing adhesive: A material used to secure shingles and other roofing materials to the roof deck. -Flashings: Metal or other materials that are used to cover joints and areas where the roofing meets other parts of the building, such as vents, chimneys, and walls. -Roof ventilation: Vents that are installed in the attic space to help remove hot air and moisture from the building. -Roofing underlayment: A material that is installed between the roof deck and the shingles or other roofing material to provide a moisture barrier and additional insulation.
It is important to note that the type of roofing material and the size of the roof will also determine the specific materials needed for the replacement, and that the above list is not exhaustive. It is also important to ensure that the materials you are using are of good quality and comply with the building codes in your area.
