One of the most common defects with asphalt shingles is improper nailing. Manufacturers of shingles give specific instructions on how to fasten shingles, and they’re all pretty much the same. Unfortunately, some roofers don’t seem to pay a lot of attention to these instructions. That is why you need to highlight and communicate with your roofer the two most common nailing defects with shingles: overdriven nails and improperly located nails.
