RoofingTooling & Equipment3MediumRoofer
A roofer with tile roof experience needs to safely access a steep 10/12 tile roof for a repair but is unsure how to install jack boards without first removing tiles.
Existing jack boards designed for shingle roofs don't have clear instructions for use on tile roofs, and the roofer is unsure if they must remove a course of tiles to attach them.
