I need to replace a roof,some people advise not stapling the roof but
using nails.Do you have a choice in today's market in telling the
contractor?Or is stapling just as good as nailing?


Stapling is not allowed in some high wind storm prone areas. With the
availability of pneumatic nailers, there is no reason to staple. There are
some people that still insist on hand nailing also as it is supposed to be
better. .
