Step 1
Separate the two layers by using a small spade with a less pronounced curve. Roofing underneath the gutters and fascia can be easily taken out by first removing these parts. Step 2
If you are having trouble pulling the pieces from the wall then horizontally thrust the spade into the region where it is attached to the wall. Another way to break the pieces free from the wall is by placing the tip of a screwdriver to the wall and hitting the handle with a hammer. Step 3
This will help loosen the perimeter pieces. As soon as it comes loose grab the thin materials that connect the roof to the walls, and pull it away. Now use your hands to pull off the loose pieces one by one. Step 4
Step 5
Edges of the roof can be removed by inserting the spade between the felt and the roof. If there are any galvanized tack nails present, they can be pulled off by thrusting the spade into them. Nails that are in a difficult position can be removed by a hammer or a bolster. Step 6
