		B.	Install crickets on the upslope side of any chimney located on a roof steeper than 6:12, or wider than 24 inches (610 mm).
		C.	Where practical, install all plumbing vents and other roof penetrations prior to installation of shingles.
	3.4	UNDERLAYMENT INSTALLATION
		A.	Install using methods recommended by manufacturer in accordance with local building code.
		B.	Install leak barrier at the following locations:
	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Leak barrier strongly recommended in all areas listed below. Delete areas not applicable or not required.
			1.	Eaves: On all roofs with slope between 2:12 and 4:12, install leak barrier at least 24 inches (610 mm) beyond the interior face of the warm exterior wall.
			2.	Valleys: Install a 36 inch (914mm) wide leak barrier centered on valley.
			3.	Vent Pipes: Extend leak barrier at least 24 inches (610 mm) around all roof penetrations.
			4.	Rake Edges: install leak barrier along the entire length of all rake edges prior to the installation of metal drip edges.
			5.	Hips and Ridges: Install leak barrier along entire lengths. Cut slots where ridge vents are present to allow proper ventilation.
		C.	Felt Underlayment:
			1.	Install one layer of felt underlayment over all locations not covered with leak barrier. Run sheets horizontally and staple or nail in place.
			2.	Where roof slope exceeds 4 in 12, horizontal laps shall be at least 2 inches (50 mm).
			3.	Where roof slope is between 2 in 12 and 4 in 12, horizontal laps shall be at least 19 inches (480 mm.
	3.5	SHINGLE INSTALLATION
		A.	Install in accordance with manufacturer's instructions and requirements of local building code.
		B.	Handle carefully during extreme weather to avoid damaging shingle edges.
		C.	Secure using the appropriate number of fasteners for the shingle specified. If local building code requires additional fasteners they shall be placed such that fasteners and seams do not line up. Nails shall be long enough to penetrate through plywood or OSB decking, or at least 3/4 inch (19 mm) into dimensional lumber.
		D.	Install hip and ridge shingles over all hips, ridges, or ridge vents.
		E.	At all valleys, use only methods recommended for the type of shingle specified.
		F.	Embed step flashings with every course of shingles at all sidewalls. "L" flashings are not acceptable.
		G.	Flash all roof penetrations so moisture flows outward. Do not face-nail exposed metal.
		H.	Follow ARMA and NRCA flashing guidelines where unique flashing conditions exist or methods are not specifically addressed in the application instructions.
	3.6	VENTILATION Installation
	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Delete if no attic vents are specified.
		A.	Ridge Vent:
			1.	Cut continuous vent slot through sheathing, stopping 6 inches (150 mm) from each end of ridge.
			2.	Cut opening at ridge 1 1/2 (36mm) to 2 inches (51 mm) wide, centered on ridge. Stop at least 6 inches (151mm) from rakes or valleys.
			3.	Install ridge vent material full length of ridge, including uncut areas.
			4.	Cover ridge vent with hip and ridge shingles as required by application instructions.
	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Delete the following paragraph if no roof louvers are specified.
		B.	Roof Louvers:
			1.	Cut hole in sheathing as necessary for the type of vent to be installed.
			2.	Install according to manufacturers instructions for flashing vent penetrations
			3.	Install eave vents in sufficient quantity to equal or exceed the exhaust vent area, calculated as specified by manufacturer.
	3.7	Roof PROTECTION and Project close out
		A.	Stage work progress to minimize foot traffic over completed sections of roofing.
		B.	Where practical provide protection of installed materials from potential damage through work from other trades.
		C.	Provide owner with an appropriate amount of contingency shingles for future modification or repair needs.
	3.8	Inspection and Maintenance
		A.	Inspect and clean all gutters and leaders annually.
		B.	Inspect roof surfaces and flashings annually and perform maintenance as necessary.
		C.	Inspect all areas where flashing cement has been applied annually and re-apply as necessary.
		D.	Where repairs are necessary or roof fixtures are added, do not reuse shingles that are removed. Replace shingles with shingles of the same type and color.
