Chris Bernhardt Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Anyone every heard of hot nailing asphalt shingles? I called out exposed roofing nails on some ridge end shingles on a newly constructed residence, and the builder shot back that he doesn't have to seal over the nails because they are hot nailed. I googled hot nailing shingles and didn't find anything. Sounds like BS to me. Chris, Oregon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I googled hot nailing shingles and didn't find anything. Sounds like BS to me. Never heard the term. Perhaps he meant that they were hot-dipped galvanized nails and would be less likely to corrode over time? - Jim Katen, Oregon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say it's BS. Chris, Oregon Tell him that you researched and you can not find anything about "Hot nailing". Ask him to provide you with documentation from the shingle manufacturer saying that "Hot nailing" is OK and does not need sealing. I bet he can't find anything..

Les Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 golly the ideas I could come up with using the words "hot" and "nailed", none would help you Chris! Well, they may help the contractor - he is screwed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
