When you have all of your layers applied and your roof is covered in rolled roofing, use cement to cover your nails. This will seal the nails into the rolled roofing. Trim the edges of the layers and seal the edges. Use your razor knife to remove any excess rolled roofing.

Pitched roofs are typically made of shingles (asphalt, composite, wood, cedar, slate, or metal), or standing seam metal. The aforementioned styles – gable roofs, hip roofs, jerkinhead roofs, mansard roofs, gambrel roofs, and saltbox roofs – are all pitched roofs.
