Install Synthetic Underlayment (ProArmor)
At 6:47 in
My FIRST TIME Roofing. NEVER AGAIN! (EP.8)
What happens here
The installation of the synthetic underlayment (ProArmor) follows the freeze barrier. The presenter explains that this material protects the house from moisture if water penetrates the shingles. He notes that the previous 60-year-old roof also used cap nails for the underlayment, which he believes is a smarter choice than staples to prevent water penetration. The ProArmor underlayment is marked with guidelines for nail placement and overlap, simplifying the installation process. The underlayment is stopped short of the valley center to avoid nails within 12 inches of the valley, and cut at an angle to ensure adequate overlapping. The underlayment is secured with cap nails using a hammer.
