Thank you so mush for all of the information on this roofing equipment. I was leaving to go to work one day when the wind blew off a loose shingle into my car. That is a very bad sign if a shingle was blown off by the wind. I need to get my shingles replaced. I have looked it up on the internet and it seems simple enough to do myself. All I need is the right materials. This article is very helpful in helping me understand which equipment I should get for the project. Thank you so much again!

I agree that using the right tool for the job increases quality and speed. My roof needs to be repaired soon, so I should look for a residential contractor who uses the tools on this list. Asking about things like magnetic sweepers and shingle cutters will probably help me choose a capable roofer as well!

Thanks for listing out exactly the equipment needed for residential roofing. A friend of mine is looking to get his roof redone for winter. I'll have to show him a copy of this post. Thanks for sharing!
