- Glaze top layers to make a smooth finish, or embed gravel in the bitumen for rough surfaces.
- Hammer and chisel away rough spots or remove them with rubbing bricks to prepare surfaces for waterproofing.
- Inspect problem roofs to determine the best procedures for repairing them.
- Install partially overlapping layers of material over roof insulation surfaces, determining distance of roofing material overlap using chalk lines, gauges on shingling hatchets, or lines on shingles.
