A garage for a male car enthusiast is as necessary a structure as, for example, a kitchen for a housewife. This is the center where, in addition to the machine itself, all the abundance of tools, all kinds of devices and equipment, often quite expensive, are concentrated. And if the roof is the most unprotected, vulnerable spot If this building is leaking, the prudent owner will correct the situation and repair the garage roof immediately, understanding what losses are possible in case of delay.
You need to start by determining the scope of work and material. The method of repair is largely determined by the type of roof and the degree of its damage. There are two types of garage roofing - soft and hard, depending on what kind of coating is used. Hard roofing materials include metal tiles, slate, and corrugated sheets. Soft roofing - roofing material, bitumen shingles, euroruberoid.
Initially, you should decide whether you will have to partially or completely replace the coating, calculate and purchase the required amount of material, and arm yourself with necessary tool. Now you can proceed to the next stage.
Preparing the roof for repair work
The first step is to remove all debris from the roof. The greatest attention should be paid to unreliable, problem areas - they are cleaned especially carefully. Perhaps after examining the roof you will find that complete replacement no roofing is required, but you just need to cut out the worn out places with an ax, which will later need to be patched using new material.
Typically, garage roof repairs are done in one of three ways:
- using hot bitumen;
- using hard roofing materials (tiles, corrugated sheets, slate, etc.);
- using soft roofing materials (usually rolled materials, such as roofing felt, bikrost, stekloizol and many others).
If the roof is covered with soft roofing material, then minor damage, swellings and cracks on its surface can be prepared for repair as follows: with a sharp knife, cut such a section crosswise, bend the edges and press them to the roof. The resulting hole must be carefully cleaned of dirt and moisture removed from it, for example, with a hair dryer or a gas torch. At this point the preparation is completed, you can begin the repair work.
Worth paying attention!
It is advisable to carry out all work on roof preparation and repair in dry, warm weather at air temperatures above +10 degrees.
Proper preparation damaged areas of the roof for subsequent repairs
Local repair of soft garage roof
- For local repairs of prepared areas, pieces of roofing felt are cut off exactly to the size of the area of the resulting “envelope”.
- The cut holes are coated with bitumen mastic. Melted resin may be used. It is important that the bitumen fills the holes completely, leaving no chance for water to leak.
- The cut piece of material, like a patch, is placed inside the “envelope” and pressed tightly. The top is additionally covered with a layer of mastic or resin.
- The bent edges of the old coating are returned to their place, pressing them against the adhesive surface.
- Then another patch is glued over this area, but this one is 15-20 cm larger than the size of the area being repaired on all sides.
- To be safe, you can coat it with mastic again.
- In this way, partial repairs of the soft garage roof are performed with your own hands. The main thing is to pay attention to all problem areas.
The flat roof of the garage, after resting, should ultimately look like this
Repair with complete replacement of the roof (roofing felt)
Roofing felt is laid on bitumen mastic, and bicrost is fused using gas burner. Obviously, the second one is much easier to install and less labor-intensive, since there is no need to bother with mastic.
When the roof is completely waterproofed with roofing felt, it is laid on a layer of tar, which is applied in parts as necessary. The strips of roofing material are laid so that the overlap is 10-15 cm. Molten bitumen is applied to the material sheets from each edge. If bubbles form during operation, they can be cut with a knife. Then the cut points must be firmly pressed against the roof and coated with tar.
Worth paying attention!
You need to start work on laying roofing felt from the bottom point of the roof slope. Before this, the material must be allowed to straighten and rest for approximately 24 hours.
The first layer of roofing material should dry for 12 hours, then you can begin laying the next one. When repairing a garage roof with your own hands, you need to ensure that the joints of the layers do not coincide. This prevents moisture from penetrating between them.
If we talk about the number of layers, their number depends on the slope of the roof:
- flat roof– 5 layers of roofing material;
- small slope (up to 15 degrees) – 4 layers;
- slope 20-40 degrees – 3 layers;
- slope slope 45 degrees - 2 layers.
Ruberoid flooring on the top layer of the garage roof
Roofing felt or fine-grained roofing felt is suitable for the bottom layer, and only coarse-grained material is recommended for the top layer.
Garage roof repair using bicrost
This roofing material is even easier to install. There is no need to use tar or bitumen mastic. When a garage roof leaks, you can quickly fix it with Bicrost this situation. Installation is carried out using a gas torch. The roof must first be thoroughly cleaned and primed.
The roll is rolled out to 50-60 cm. This part is thoroughly heated with a gas burner, paying special attention to the corners and edges of the coating. Using a T-shaped stick or roller, the heated piece of bicrost is pressed against the roof surface. Then you need to roll out the roll again by about half a meter and heat the inside with a burner. The overlap of the canvases should be at least 7-8 cm. Application of this material requires quick work, since bitumen sets within a few minutes. Of course, the quality should not suffer. At least two layers should be laid.
Bicrost flooring is made using a torch
Repairing a soft roof does not require special knowledge and experience. It is only important to carefully follow all the rules that relate to the choice of material, weather conditions and the number of layers to install the roof. Roofing felt is not losing its position even now – it is as popular as ever. But if there is no desire or opportunity to delve into the process of laying it with your own hands, then it is never too late to turn to experienced specialists who will cope with this work in the best possible way.
A leaky roof poses a risk not only to the structure of the garage, but also to the tools and materials that may be in the area. As a rule, there is an overabundance of tools in the garage, both manual and electric. Such tools can easily become damaged if water regularly falls on them. That is why this article will provide tips on how to repair a roof in a garage with your own hands. These tips will help you protect your structure from damage and maintain the integrity of your tools.
Do-it-yourself garage roof repair is quite simple. The main condition will be the use quality materials and strict adherence to roof repair technology. There are two types of roofing - soft and hard; depending on the type of roof, the materials for its repair will differ both visually and financially. Let's look at how and how to repair some of the most popular types of roofing.
Preparation for repair work
The first thing you need to do is determine the level of surface wear, and also find those roof parts that need to be replaced. In addition, you should plan your time well so that you can devote sufficient time to this work. After all, if it suddenly rains heavily, and the roof of your garage is partially or completely dismantled, then the entire room may suffer quite a lot. The choice of work that needs to be performed will be important; evaluate the surface of the roof because you may have to not only dismantle some of its elements, but the entire roof.
Rolled and sheet materials Often they are repaired much faster than piece ones, for example, tiles. Since one sheet of corrugated sheeting can cover up to 9 square meters, and the leaf flexible tiles only 0.14 square meters of roof surface. Agree that such work will take you much more time and effort, because in order to cover 9 square meters you will have to install 63 sheets of tiles.
Before carrying out repair work, it is necessary to remove all debris that may be on the roof. Special attention Pay attention to the places that will be repaired. If the garage roof is covered soft materials, for example, roofing felt or waterproofing, then over time cracks could form on their surface that need repair. Such cracks need to be repaired before overhaul. By using sharp knife or other item, you need to make a cross-shaped cut which will later be sealed with bitumen or other material of your choice.
Repair of soft garage roof
Nowadays, there are quite a lot of soft roofing materials, the most common being bicrost and roofing felt. The first option is installed by fusing a gas burner, and the second option is laid on bitumen mastic. Therefore, we can come to the conclusion that installing bikrost is much easier, because you will not need to spend extra time applying mastic.
Bikrost
As mentioned above, when installing bikrost you will not need to use tar and mastic. A gas burner is used to install this material. And in order to attach it to the surface, you must first apply a layer of oxidized bitumen, thanks to which the material will easily bond to the base.
This material is installed gradually, you need to carefully roll out the roll to a distance of 50-60 cm. Next, the rolled out side of the bicrost needs to be heated with a burner, and during the process of laying it, press the material with a T-shaped stick. To press the material to the surface, you can place your feet on it and at the same time roll out and heat the next half meter. Having covered the first row, remember that the second layer of bicrost should be installed overlapping the first. The overlap should be at least 8 centimeters.
One of the main advantages of this material is that it is applied very quickly. For example, an ordinary garage under a car You can cover it in about an hour and a half. Carrying out renovation work bitumen or roofing felt, you will have to spend a lot more time. However, this material has one serious drawback - its price, which is slightly overpriced.
Ruberoid
Repairing a garage roof with roofing felt is not difficult. If, upon inspection of the surface, you decide that you do not need a major replacement of the roof, then to repair individual parts, simply cut out several pieces of roofing felt of the appropriate size. The main thing is not to make a mistake in size and choose the appropriate piece that will cover the damaged area.
First, you need to apply a layer of bitumen mastic to the damaged hole. After which it is necessary to secure a piece of roofing material, and secure it on top with a second layer of bitumen mastic. It is not necessary to wait for complete drying; you can immediately bend the triangles into place, pressing them tightly. Next, you need to patch the cuts with another piece of roofing felt, the edges of which should overlap the base of the roof. And on top of the patch, apply a layer of bitumen mastic, thanks to which you can achieve greater strength of the material.
If you decide to completely cover the entire roof with roofing felt, remember that this styling perform on a pre-installed layer of tar. And the roofing felt sheets are laid with an overlap of 10 centimeters. If bubbles appear on the surface during installation, they must be cut off, after which they will be sealed with another layer of tar.
Pay special attention to the joints between your garage and neighboring garages. As a rule, cracks often form in such places, as well as peeling of old materials.
For a high-quality overlap, one layer of roofing material is sufficient, since when installed, this material forms a single sheet, which will be an excellent protection against moisture penetration. However, if you live in an area where the weather conditions are not very good, then the use of two layers of this material will contribute to a longer service life. operational life and high-quality protection against moisture penetration into the garage. One of the main advantages of roofing felt is its low price.
Hard roof repair
Often, solid roofing materials such as:
Garages covered with corrugated sheets, metal tiles or slate can be repaired quite simply. After all, it’s not at all difficult to repair or replace a single sheet of corrugated board or other material. However, if you have to completely replace the entire ceiling, then doing this work may cost you much more, and you will spend a lot more time.
As for metal tiles, repairing individual parts of this material is even easier than replacing corrugated sheeting. Metal tiles are much smaller than other roofing materials. To install such tiles, self-tapping screws with a rubber gasket are used. In order to install the product, there are latches on the edges of the tiles, thanks to which you can easily dismantle old material and replace it with a new one. The procedure is quite simple, even a person who has nothing to do with roof repairs can easily replace the material.
In the event that you need to completely replace the entire roofing material and want to change it to corrugated sheeting, then you need to know the order of work that you need to follow. Work related to the installation of corrugated sheets:
Conclusion
In order to repair your garage, it is not necessary to contact expensive specialists. After all, you can perform such repairs yourself. And in order to roofing were carried out efficiently, follow all the advice that you read in this article. And the video below will help you visually see what is required of you.
Fans of driving their own cars have probably often wondered. This problem is so pressing that it haunts many vehicle owners.
A damaged garage roof can ruin the condition of any car over time due to natural precipitation. Therefore, one of the priority materials for patching holes on the garage roof or completely covering it is roofing felt.
The construction market is represented by a wide range of building materials from Russian and foreign manufacturing companies. You can purchase roofing felt material at any hardware store. Its cost is low, its quality is reliable, and covering a roof with it yourself will not be a big problem.
There are four types of roofing material:
- Rolled roofing felt - laid in three to four layers;
- Guided roofing felt - flooring;
- Synthetic roofing felt - minimum service life 12 years;
- Euroroofing material – soft roof, made using innovative technologies.
Features of roofing felt
Roofing material - roofing felt - is a suitable means for repairing a garage roof, as it has the following number of characteristics:
- frost resistance;
- waterproofing;
- heat resistance;
- cheap cost;
- reliability;
- high quality;
- ease of laying the material.
Roofing felt rolls are more often used on flat and horizontal roofs, as they have unique properties— form a reliable waterproofing layer that prevents water and snow from passing through the roof.
To the features of working with roofing felt, how necessary material garage roof installation with my own hands, include the following series of sequential actions:
Make sure the quality of the roofing felt material.
Did you know that if light spots are visible on the cut of roofing material, this indicates that such material is not at all suitable for roofing, since its existing characteristics do not meet the required ones.
Pay attention to the angle of your garage roof.
Advice: If the roof slope is no more than 30%, then you can repair the garage roof using rolled roofing felt. If the angle of inclination is less than 15%, then it is necessary to lay at least three layers of roofing felt.
Advantages and disadvantages
Like other materials, roofing felt has its advantages (pros) and disadvantages (cons), which are clearly presented below:
pros
- Light weight
- Inexpensive price
- High quality
- Practicality
- Durability
- Ease of use
- Easy installation
Minuses
- Fragility
- Poor aesthetic qualities
- Lack of environmental component
- Violation of waterproofing
This comparative information shows the advantages of roofing material, which significantly prevail over its disadvantages. Thus, when choosing to cover a garage roof with this material, there will be no unjustified investment risk. You will win.
Major renovation
Ruberoid is very comfortable material for the garage roof installation process. Here you do not need the help of specialists in the field roofing repairs. This work can be done on our own within one day. The main thing is to have desire, skill and material.
Ease of installation is one of the main advantages that roofing felt has. The task is completely simplified if the garage roof is flat. Then you can safely lay sheets of roofing felt on top of reinforced concrete slabs.
Covering your garage roof with roofing felt will serve you for 15–20 years. If you use roofing material developed according to modern quality analogues, then its reliability and ductility will serve you for another 20 years.
The best choice if you need to cover a garage roof would be, since it is designed taking into account innovative quality technologies and is divided into two types:
- Euroroofing felt for new construction– they are based on polyester, which is not susceptible to external forces: water, light, wind, snow, frost, etc. This is very important, especially when you are building new house and you want to protect yourself from moisture and shrinkage in your new building.
- Euroroofing felt for repair–has the same composition as the previous type of roofing felt. However, there are also special differences: when repairing a garage roof, it will be necessary to use the APP modifier or some other modifier, except for the SBS modifier (it is intended if the roofing material will be in the ground).
Be sure to pay attention to the thickness of the roofing material when choosing the material that is suitable for you. It can range from 0.25 to 5 cm. Therefore, the thicker it is, the more reliable the waterproofing of your garage will be. The roof will stop leaking and will last longer.
The ability of roofing material to be flexible on timber indicates its ability to withstand negative temperatures in winter and high temperatures V summer time of the year. Therefore, even a simple deformation of the material can indicate many things: whether it should be used for roofing or not.
Calculation
There are 8 types of roofs, which can be calculated using a special calculator. These types of roofs include: gable, mansard, single-pitched, hipped, hip, etc.
Having your initial data (the length and width of the garage, its roof, one roll of roofing felt and its cost), you can calculate the exact amount of material required, the roof area and the cost of repairing the garage roof.
The cost of repairs and the price of materials in Moscow and the Moscow region
The cost of repairing a garage roof with roofing felt depends on the area of the roof and varies from 200 to 600 rubles per roll, and its installation on the roof is carried out using ordinary nails through a gasket.
When purchasing this material for covering a garage roof, you will need a special calculation calculator. It allows you to calculate required amount rolls and the amount that will have to be spent on purchasing roofing felt.
How much does garage roof repair and labor cost?
The final price can be obtained by summing up the cost of materials, additional costs for purchasing missing tools and own time, spent on repairs. Having weighed the final cost and assessed the investment of your time, you can even conclude that roof repair will cost you “cheaper” if you order it from professional company, because the quality of work from specialists will definitely be higher, and the time consumption will be lower.
Tools and materials are indispensable assistants when installing a garage roof
Necessary for installation work on the roof of a garage determine the method of laying roofing material with which you decide to work.
For example, when mechanically roofing felt material is attached to screws or nails using slats. If you are fastening roofing felt to the roof with nails, then stock up on a hammer. If you use self-tapping screws, then stock up on special construction tool- a screwdriver.
Mastic
Laying with mastic - pre-molten mastic in a special metal container is applied to the surface of the roofing felt and the sheet coated with it is pressed against the surface of the garage roof.
Fused laying involves heating the bottom layer of roofing material using a gas burner. Sheets of roofing felt are overlapped and the seams are immediately welded. Then use a special roller to go over the entire roof area. This will help get rid of the accumulation of unnecessary air and condensation formed.
Auxiliary materials for laying guided roofing felt are:
- fire extinguisher;
- broom;
- scoop;
- hoe;
- bucket;
- protective gloves;
- knife;
- putty knife.
Preparing the roof for installation
Before installing the roof. If the roof is uneven or swollen, level it and seal it before starting repair work.
Afterwards, prepare the roofing felt sheets by cutting them to fit the dimensions of the roof. However, it is better to carry out this work in advance, so that later you can only deal with laying the material, without being distracted by other actions. Place sheets of roofing felt on flat surface, give them some time to level out.
Step-by-step instructions for installation work using roofing felt
- The first step when step by step instructions when laying roofing felt you should preparatory work for cleaning the roof surface.
- The second stage is the preparation of strips and special rules for laying roofing material. When laying the second layer of roofing felt, its seams should not coincide with the bottom and top layers in order to increase the insulation of the roof.
- The third stage - laying roofing felt is best done by two people, as time and effort are significantly saved, and the material is quickly consumed.
For convenience, roof installation can be carried out using a gas burner. This tool must be handled very carefully, as it allows you to heat the sheet of roofing material until its top film burns. This indicates that the material and mastic are ready for gluing. Working together looks easier: one worker presses the heated part to the roof, the other prepares next material. And so on.
Upon completion of the work, they go over the surface of the garage roof with a hand roller to remove unevenness and ensure a good fit of the roofing material to the roof.
Advice: After completing work with the first layer, you can immediately proceed to the second layer only after the first has finished hardening.
Thus, laying a roof with roofing felt yourself is very simple, not very expensive and easy to operate. From a technological point of view, roofing felt material has a high degree of quality, frost resistance, waterproofing, is lightweight and easy to transport.
However, with all the noticeable advantages of roofing felt, it is necessary not to forget about safety precautions. Following the instructions correct installation DIY garage roofs, the result of the work is a long service life of the roof (more than 15 years).
Repair with cold mastic
When repairing a roof with cold mastic, all the same techniques are used as when working with hot mastic, only without heating.
Significant savings on additional equipment and special skills for laying hot coating.
Types of Garage Roofs
Concrete
The roof of a concrete garage can be repaired in several ways, but based on the experience of roofing engineers, the most optimal in terms of price and labor costs is the use of roofing felt. The plasticity of the material will eliminate all leaks on concrete surface garage roof, but provided that there are no serious cracks or failures in the roof.
Metal
It is also better to repair a metal garage roof in the simplest and most effective way. Determine safety metal coating, and, if necessary, seal large holes with new layers of metal. Afterwards, treat the coating with mastics and apply the repair method with roofing felt materials.
Corrugated sheet
How to cover a garage roof?
If you decide to repair the garage roof, you need to decide on the materials. There are two types of them: soft and hard roofing. Each of them has its own merits. Here short description all commonly used types.
- Ruberoid.
Its main advantage is its relatively low price. But it also serves, as already mentioned, up to 10 years. In addition, it is very plastic and protects well from moisture. Best used for covering flat roofs.
With roofing felt it may be difficult to determine required quantity. If the roof of the building is flat, then three or even four layers are necessary, since it will need to protect the roof from water that stagnates on its surface. If the slope is significant, fewer layers are needed.
For a longer service life of roofing felt, it is advisable to install it in sunny weather.
- Profiled sheeting.
This material is very easy to work with and installation is quick. However, it is characterized by good strength and low cost. It will last long enough.
If the material used for roof restoration does not need to withstand strong and frequent temperature changes and a lot of precipitation, it is advisable to use corrugated sheeting. Thanks to the sheets different sizes It won't take much time to cover.
But you should work with corrugated sheets very carefully, because damage polymer coating will inevitably lead to corrosion, which will negatively affect the service life of the entire structure.
The corrugated sheeting is installed on the sheathing, which is made of boards or beams, and a layer of waterproofing is laid under it. Thanks to this system, the building will be reliably protected from leaks.
- Slate.
It is the most common material and is very popular, because it combines excellent quality for little money.
Coating a roof with a code is very similar to working with corrugated sheeting: here it is also necessary to lay a layer of waterproofing under the sheathing of beams. Besides this, it also has waves.
A special feature of working with slate is the need to prepare holes for roofing nails in advance, since the fragile material can crack if you start screwing self-tapping screws into it.
Major and minor repairs
To understand whether there is a need for repair, you need to inspect the surface. Anyone can carry out the manipulation, just climb to the top of the garage. Repairs can be minor or major.
Minor garage roof repairs are needed when minor damage is detected, usually leaks, they appear due to hail, corrosion of the object’s material and sheets torn off by the wind.
You can correct the situation yourself by using mastic to seal the holes or by replacing some elements with new ones. But if you realized it too late and the area with defects is too large, then in this case a major overhaul is necessary.
Major repairs of garages are carried out quite rarely when more than 40% of the roof area is damaged, and the better the work is done, the longer you can not remember about such problems.
Roof repair is a labor-intensive process that requires specialist knowledge and skills, choosing our Moscow masters to carry out all repair steps, you provide reliability and a guarantee for the services received.
