Hand Nailing- The Bone Dry Way

Since 1989, our customers have counted on Bone Dry Roofing, Inc. to cover their finest possessions.  We have spent that time building not only our company, but also a relationship with our customers.  More that 60% of our sales come from satisfied customer referrals.  We are very proud of this - it means our customers are happy with our workmanship.

In this age of technology, many ways have been invented to increase the speed at which a roof can be installed.  The pneumatic nailing gun is one such invention.  While this method has increased speed, it has decreased the accuracy of where the nail goes.  Bone Dry Roofing, Inc. does not use pneumatic nail guns .  We drive every nail into place by hand.  Hand nailing is a much more precise method which allows us to stay within the manufacturers' guidlines for placement of the nails; therefore assuring your warranty in the future if any problems should occur.

Regardless of the outside temperature, by hand nailing, we can guarantee the nail depth will be correct.  With a pneumatic gun, depth control can become an issue.  If the nails are driven in too deeply, which can happen on a hot day when the heat makes the shingles softer, it can damage the shingle and even punch all the way through thus not even holding the shingle to the roof.  If it is cold, and the shingles and the wood decking are hard, the nails might not go all the way in leaving "nail pops", which if the nail continues to work itself out of place, will raise the shingle.  Water can then get under the raised shingle causing damage to the roof underneath.

We are proud of our reputation, but it is a result of our crews and their craftmanship and the desire to complete all our jobs to our customer's satisfaction which has built our company.
