Asphalt shingles are specified on a low-slope roof area below the normal steep-slope range. What should the contractor verify before installation?

Correct Answer

D) That the roof slope and underlayment method are permitted for the selected shingle assembly.

Low-slope asphalt shingle work needs the roof slope and underlayment method checked against the applicable California roof-covering provisions and manufacturer requirements.

Answer Options
A
That shingles are installed without underlayment to let the deck dry faster, after the first rain event on the project site.
B
That the slope is ignored if the owner accepts the appearance.
C
Leave the rough condition in place where asphalt shingles are specified on a low-slope roof area below the normal steep-slope range, and defer the correction until after the next trade.
D
That the roof slope and underlayment method are permitted for the selected shingle assembly.

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Low-slope asphalt shingle work needs the roof slope and underlayment method checked against the applicable California roof-covering provisions and manufacturer requirements.
