An apparatus for accurately locating shingles on a roof. The apparatus includes a sheet with two measuring edges. Each edge has a number of spaced apart measuring points located along each edge. A number of hashed lines are located on the sheet's surface. The distance between the lines are pre-determined. The spaced apart hashed lines being disposed substantially parallel relative to each other along the sheet surface. A first series of two spaced apart points are spaced apart an equal distance from each other. The points are located along spaced apart hashed lines. Another spaced apart set of points are located between the first series of spaced apart points. The second series of points are staggered relative to the first series. An internal measuring zone is located within the boundaries of the sheet. The zone has an icon of a pre-determined length and a predetermined height. The hashed lines. the points and the internal measuring zone provide reference locations to permit one or more shingles to align therewith.

The present invention is an apparatus for applying shingles onto a roof of a structure. The present invention is a Straight line shingle apparatus to which when applied to an already prepared roof top, will be all the pre set lines and margins required to applying a perfectly square and level shingle roof according to the shingle specifications. There are three main parts to this apparatus, two vertical rods fixed on the roof deck, a vertical rod set up, which rides in bearings affixed to the horizontal housings, which produces a very easy sliding motion and a rack, positioned at an even line spacing from the bearings to let a user lay shingles into an extended row of shingles. Once shingles are positioned, many shingles may be nailed at once.

A method and system for aligning shingles on a roof using alignment marks placed directly on drip edges, limiting the need for stand-alone measurement devices.

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for installing aligned elements, and methods of use. An apparatus can include: an aligning member; a first support configured to support the aligning member at a first location of the aligning member; and a first mount including a mounting member configured to couple the first mount to a structural surface and a first support positioner configured to slidably receive and selectively vertically position the first support relative to the surface, thereby vertically positioning the aligning member.

A lightweight thermoplastic polyolefin roofing underlayment with superior tear strength is disclosed having a printed upper surface simulating the appearance of a finished roof. The underlayment is reinforced with a woven polypropylene scrim. Anti-skid materials can be incorporated into the body of the underlayment.

A tool for fixing purlins to a roof truss including a first rotatable jaw for attaching to a reference purlin and a plurality of spaced apart jaws for holding further purlins that are to be positioned. The tool is rotated to an upright position to accept the purlins to be placed and then rotated such that the purlins are placed on the roof truss in alignment for fixing.

The invention is primarily directed to a system and method of selectively repairing asphalt-based shingles having embedded granular material. The system and method of the invention also comprises the use of devices specifically designed and used to template repaired shingles and protect surrounding shingles from adhesives and a shingle frame device to aid in applying, leveling and compressing granules onto the damaged shingle. The system and method of the claimed invention comprises the steps of removal of debris from the damaged area, application of a base coat adhesive to the damaged area, embedding color-matched granules in the base coat and application of a top coat sealant that permanently bonds the repaired layers to the original roofing material.
