FASCIA BOARD HANGING TOOL
Fascia hanging tools of the present disclosure are configured to assist an installer when hanging a fascia board, i.e., attaching the fascia board to a rafter tail of a building's roof framing. The fascia hanging tool is configured to be temporarily secured to a portion of a building's roof framing and to independently hold and support a fascia board proximate the portion of the building's roof framing. By holding the fascia board for the installer, fascia hanging tools of the present disclosure are configured to facilitate hanging of fascia boards by a single person, i.e., without the assistance of a second person, making the process safer and more cost effective. Fascia hanging tools of the present disclosure may be adjustable to accommodate different sizes of fascia boards and different rafter pitches of the building's roof framing.
Cement siding tolerance device and measurement tool
A cement siding tolerance device and measurement tool, which has a main panel having a tab and a ridge, whereby the tab and the ridge perpendicularly extend from the main panel at opposite sides. The main panel has a front face, a rear face, a top edge, a bottom edge, first and second lateral edges, and a plurality of holes. The main panel has ruler-markings adjacent to the first and second lateral edges. The main panel is rectangular in shape. The tab perpendicularly extends from the front face separated a predetermined distance from the bottom edge, and the ridge perpendicularly extends from the bottom edge at the rear face. The tab and the ridge measure clearances and gaps between siding and trim products with solid surfaces building elements.
Method and device for cutting custom-sized tiles
A device for use in creating custom tiles for installation adjacent an angled vertical surface is disclosed. An example device includes first and second elongated members coupled via a hinge configured to selectively prevent pivoting at the hinge. The device further includes a slide piece coupled to the first member and configured to slide lengthwise along the first member. The slide piece may be selectively operated to prevent movement along the first member. The slide piece may further include a body. The body may comprise a longitudinal alignment element and a perpendicular lateral alignment element that together define a recess configured to receive a corner of an installed tile. The body may further include a spacer configured to selectively extend from or retract into the body. The spacer and the lateral alignment element may define a space therebetween.
Field shingle layout marks on roof drip edge
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.
FIELD SHINGLE LAYOUT MARKS ON ROOF DRIP EDGE
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.

Roofing alignment assembly
A roofing alignment assembly includes a building has a roof. The roof has a top surface, an eave edge, a first gable edge and a second gable edge. A pair of jigs is provided and each of the jigs is removably coupled to the top surface of the roof. Each of the jigs is aligned with a respective one of the first and second gable edges. Moreover, each of the jigs has a front side and the front side on each of the jigs is spaced a measured distance from the eave edge when the jigs are positioned on the roof. A string is stretched between the front side of each of the jigs when the jigs are positioned on the roof. Thus, the string is oriented collinear with the eave edge of the roof and the string is spaced the measured distance from the roof. In this way the string defines a straight edge for aligning roofing material that is being installed on the roof.

Angular measurement tool with safety guard
A speed square consisting of a three sided isosceles triangle that is used in the construction industry as well as the do-it-yourselfer. Consisting of a lead side of a 90 degree angle, a hypotenuse side with a scale of angular degrees ranging from 5 degrees to 90 degrees. The third side and most important side has a scale of inches divided into increments of , but furthermore and most importantly the third side has a raised edge of that when utilized to be used as a safety guide in the act of cutting a straight line. This also acts as a barrier when using such instruments as a utility knife, thus reducing the risk of injury to the hand or fingerers.

A pair of jigs is provided and each of the jigs is removably coupled to the top surface of the roof. Each of the jigs is aligned with a respective one of the first and second gable edges. Moreover, each of the jigs has a front side and the front side on each of the jigs is spaced a measured distance from the eave edge when the jigs are positioned on the roof. A string is stretched between the front side of each of the jigs when the jigs are positioned on the roof. Thus, the string is oriented collinear with the eave edge of the roof and the string is spaced the measured distance from the roof. In this way the string defines a straight edge for aligning roofing material that is being installed on the roof.
