How to Shingle a Dome Roof

Shingling a dome roof requires specific techniques due to its curved shape. At Scaff’s, we provide expert advice and services for roof installation on all types of roofs, including complex structures like dome roofs.

Steps for Shingling a Dome Roof

1. Select the Right Shingles

Choosing flexible and durable shingles is essential for dome roofs. Consider architectural shingles, which can adapt to curves. We recommend discussing your project with Scaff’s roofing experts to find the best materials for your dome.

2. Prepare the Dome Structure

Ensure the dome is clean and structurally sound. Before beginning the installation, consult Scaff’s roof cleaning services for optimal preparation and inspection.

3. Start Shingling from the Bottom

Begin at the base of the dome and work your way up. Each layer of shingles should overlap slightly to ensure water runs off efficiently. Consider using starter shingles to create a smooth first layer.

4. Work Carefully Around the Curves

On a dome roof, each shingle may require slight adjustments. Carefully cut and position each shingle to fit the curve. For tips on custom fitting, explore Scaff’s guide on customized roofing.

5. Seal the Shingles Properly

Finish by applying a high-quality sealant to prevent leaks and secure shingles in place. This step is crucial in areas with heavy rain. Learn more about Scaff’s roofing sealants for long-lasting durability.
