Part of the roof preparation is repairing or replacing rotting or damaged wood. The goal is to ensure a sturdy and even surface. Once you’ve prepared the roof, you can place a layer of roofing felt for an extra layer of security. You can now proceed to install your starter shingles.

Finally, if you have a fairly large project, you might need to consider hiring roofers to get the job done. Remember, this can be a physically demanding and complex job. In addition, it may be better to get a team in if you need the job done efficiently and within budget.
