Why cut a roof?

Reduce Cost

Save 1/2 of labor costs on tear-off (1/3 on tear-off and installation) by cutting the roof into manageable sections. Shingles cut into uniform sections stack and carry easier for efficient disposal.

Conserve Energy

Cut shingles tear easier because shingles don't need to be broken apart. Cut sections are easier to carry and are less likely to break into small pieces. Cut lines require less prying and serve as entry points for tear-off tools.
