Question: Coil Roofing Nail sizes

Answer: I would say the majority of the contractors in the US are going to use 1 1/4 Inch Coil Roofing Nails. There was an instance when I got a phone call from a contractor in Orange County, California, and he was looking for specifically 7/8 inch Coil Nails and 1 Inch Coil Nails, not 1 1/4 Inch coil nails. And he was saying that on some of the houses that he does in that region, because of the way that the decking is set, where it's visible to the inside of the home, there isn't an attic. The nails were penetrating through the decking and it was just not visibly okay for his customers. Aside from that instance, just use 1 1/4 inch coil roofing nails.

Question: Will Coil Roofing Nails Rust?

Answer: Yes, they're going to rust. Electro Galvanized Nails will rust the quickest. Hot Dip Galvanized Coil Roofing Nails will take longer to rust. Even stainless steel coil nails rust, but because of their chromium content, they're going to last the longest before rusting.  All coil roofing nails will eventually rust.

Question: What size Coil Roofing Nails for your roof? 

Answer: That's going to depend on each project. Most will use 1 1/4 inch in length, as we talked about earlier. Let's say, depending on your system. Brava roofing system, they're going to require you to penetrate through the decking. So in that case. Oh, and they're also going to require that you use hot dipped galvanized nails.

In that instance, you will use minimum 1 3/4 inch and sometimes even 2 inch size coil roofing nails in length for that project. So I would say do your research and make sure that you use the length and the size of the coil roofing nails that is best for the roofing system. 

Question: Why do coil roofing nails the back out?

Answer: Awesome question. They back out because of wind. If you want more wind resistance, then you need to use ring shank nails. What causes roofing nails to pop? Roofing nails pop when the pneumatic nailer (or electric nailer) is not pushed onto the roof surface perpendicularly, when you come in at an angle to that surface, aside from being perpendicular, then eventually you're going to have the nails pop. Use Coil Ring Shank Nails if you don't want nails backing out.

Question: Which roofing nails to use? 

Answer: Are you referring to the smooth type versus ring shank or referring to size length? Is your question referring to coil nails vs hand-driven nails? What are you referring to? So I don't I don't really know how to answer your question. What do you think, Quincy? I think whatever nails that fit the roof system, use those.

Question: Where to nail roofing shingles?

Answer: If you're using asphalt shingles, then each manufacturer is going to have a common area or a designated nail zone. I've noticed that there's a trend for the asphalt shingle manufacturers to widen this zone. Also, nailing outside of this common area nailing zone will void any manufacturer’s warranty.

Question: Smooth Shank Versus Ring Shank Coil Roofing Nails. 

Answer: Awesome statement in the form of a question. You're going to use ring shank coil roofing nails if you want to increase the ability to reduce the effect of uplift resistance. Make sure that you check with your building code before you start making a decision.

Question: Can I get a sample of nails before I buy? 

Answer: Yes, certainly. Fill out the form on the product page. We'll send you a coil of 1 ¼ inch coil roofing nails for you to try so that you can try it before you buy it.

Question: What is the guarantee in case of defective coil roofing nails? 

Answer: It's very simple. When your installation crew encounters a coil that is defective, put that box on the side and we will gladly exchange it.  The entire pallet will not be defective in the unlikely event you encounter a bad coil of nails. Each box of nails is made with the highest quality control standards by the top coil nail manufacturers in China. All of the United States brokers and distributors share the same factories so most of the defective coils will most likely be from any damage of the boxes during transit. Boxes damaged during transit must be claimed at the time of delivery so as to report it immediately with the driver of the delivery. 

Question:  If your coil roofing nails are so great, why do your coil roofing nails cost so little? 

Answer: Great question. And I'm going to love answering this one. In the entire roofing industry, we've got all the contractors, which could be in the tens of thousands of contractors across the country. They buy from distributors. There's also another layer, distributors purchase the coil roofing nails from import brokers. There's two types of brokers. One of them is independently owned and operated, and then they buy from different manufacturing plants in China. But then there's also another type of broker which are actually direct representatives of specific factories in China. The Roof Store buys directly from the manufacturing plants in China, and we are selling directly to you the contractor. So we are bypassing brokers, we are bypassing distributors, we are bypassing all those middlemen that would otherwise increase the price for the same product. The Roof Store is passing on that savings to you, the contractor. We're buying the same great quality nails from the same factories that these other companies are buying from, except we're private labeling it with our name (The Roof Store) and we're passing on the savings.  We could sell very easily at $60 a box, $55 box, and we could keep all that margin. But we don't keep the extra money because we want you to increase your profits. Our mission is to be a valued resource to your roofing organization, and we will always pass on as much savings as we can afford to pass on. Keep in mind, we offer you Free Shipping so that means we are taking on the added responsibility of absorbing that expense and still selling you the roofing nail products at 40% to 60% below what you currently pay.
