Steps on how to install a Peel and Stick Rubber Roof:
The peel-and-stick method for installing a rubber roof involves using pre-adhesive backing on the rubber roofing material, eliminating the need to apply adhesive separately. Here are the general steps for installing a peel-and-stick rubber roof:

Clean the roof surface: Ensure that the roof surface is clean, dry, and free of debris. This will ensure that the rubber roof adhesive adheres appropriately.

Measure the roof: Measure the roof surface to determine the amount of peel-and-stick rubber roofing material you need. It's essential to order enough material to cover the entire roof surface, including any overhangs or edges.

Cut the rubber roofing material: Use a utility knife to cut the rubber roofing material to the appropriate size and shape for your roof. Be sure to leave an extra inch or two of material around the edges for trimming and final adjustments.

Remove the backing: Starting at one corner of the roof, peel off the backing from the rubber roofing material. Be sure to peel off only a tiny section of the backing at a time, and work in small sections to ensure the material is aligned correctly.

Lay the rubber roofing material: Carefully lay it onto the roof surface, ensuring it's centered and straight. Press firmly on the material to ensure it adheres to the roof surface.

Trim and adjust the edges: Use a utility knife to trim any excess material from the roof's edges. Be sure to leave a slight overhang of material around the edges, which you can trim later for a more precise fit.

Repeat for remaining sections: Continue working in small sections, peeling off the backing and laying the rubber roofing material until you've covered the entire roof surface.

Finish the edges: Once the entire roof is covered with rubber roofing material, trim any excess material from the edges and use a sealant to seal the edges and gaps around the roof penetrations, such as vents or chimneys.

With these steps, you can successfully install a peel-and-stick rubber roof. However, if you're not confident in your DIY skills or your roof is particularly complex, it may be best to hire a professional roofing contractor to handle the installation.
