For precision and longevity, it’s hard to beat a hand-nailed roof.
Hand-nailed roofs are often considered the gold standard in roofing because they prioritize craftsmanship and precision. When shingles are installed by hand, each nail is carefully set, allowing the roofer to compensate for differences in the roof deck, shingle thickness, and weather conditions. This level of control helps to guarantee that nails are driven to the proper depth and angle, reducing the danger of over-driven, under-driven, or crooked nails—all of which can shorten a roof’s lifespan.

Beyond precision installation, hand-nailed roofs also last for a long time. This is because properly positioned nails allow shingles to lie flat and seal properly, increasing resistance to wind uplift and water intrusion. This is particularly important in our area, where high winds and storms can happen at any time. Many manufacturers understand this benefit and include hand-nailing in their installation instructions to ensure full warranty coverage, particularly for premium shingle systems.
