HOW TO | DO A DOUBLE VALLEY (part 1) 

Hi all. Love these videos! I am from a country where metal roofing sheets are popular. Watching you guys shingle roofs, I must say it's a skill and an art. Seeing you tackle that valley with shingles... damn I would not have known what to do. I mean I think roofers in my country take that for granted as with metal roof you install your valley flashings lay your roof sheets and call it a day.

This is 50/50 on the right way, unusual circumstances for sure.During a major rain storm I think Id rather have it the way baby cub did it . But then again the steeper slope will shed faster but less flow. I guess you called it right once you take in the snow and ice situation.Good job

I wish I worked with you! You seem like an awesome teacher/coworker. Anyhow at 32 years I’m thinkin to leave my contractor company and start my own soon. You inspire me to want to build my own company. Thanks for all your videos

Gave u a like cause I’m happy to c boy cub back and it’s always good to support someone like urself. Peace brother!!!

Always cut the steeper pitch. Fly the smaller pitch by. Gravity is easy to watch work, roofing is about gravity. Seeing you fix it speaks volumes. Most don’t..... but then I wouldn’t have a job😂

I like how you put him on a piece that he wasn't comfortable with , but I think you should've told him how you wanted it done and why.

After 32 years in construction-i feel the pain of thinkin' i was doin something right-then the realization it's f'd...It sucks-and you feel like a p.o.s.Keep yer head up Boycub-take a positive from this negative.

You're installing shingles in a pocket in Utah where u get deep snow and ice. Amazing. Why not install a layer of base Self adhered and a layer of cap sheet. Solid sheets beat shingles in low slope area.

This was a great video. I wasnt even working on any roofing or shingles, but i was curious on how those valleys were all shingled up together.. Thanks for some good laughs as well.

This is why w valleys are the best and its easy for rookies to learn!

I'm just wondering how he was able to do that whole side without anybody seeing it and correcting him

Damn I really thought you got mad af at him even I got shooked 😂 good video tho

Really good educational video, you don’t see a lot of these dbl valleys.

I live in northern Utah we get a lot of snow, i color match tpo membrane and do 3 feet up with it from the edge and tie the shingles in, its a nice detail in area like that were snow and ice will build up

You got the like and subscribe on this one because i actually did this today, and now have to tear off and re-do... didnt see this video untill it was too late.

When ya gonna challenge BigTime?!

LOVE MAN YOUR A LOT OF HELP

So glad you said you were not serious , almost didn’t finish watching cause felt really bad for boycub. Says a lot about a contractor to eat a few dollars to make something right. 👍💕

Next time you do those, ice and shield everything, in that area, instead of a row of paper on those dormers I would of ice and shielded it, lots of snow sits there, also I'd keep those nails with the plastic thing on them away 6 too 8 inches, when I shingle these i build it up pyramid style, when you step up in the middle and add on too both side, glad too see it is changed well you had the chance and before it leaked, it could of caused big headaches down the road, lots of people would of said fuck it, looks good from my house. Roof on

You are professionally my respect for you because you took bad to the others roofer

Learning by doing ! Once you know it then you can show it !! Great job guys, I appreciate you doing what you are doing!!!

good teaching. thank you.

Oh man! when buddy asked for a line on his rack and then started laughing about how it could be added in as a video oufff.... I felt those last 2 nails go in before the cut

That’s the way you do it! Nice fix

Great explanation of how water sheds😂😜😜👌

I have never seen someone put starter on the sides but hey I’ve only been roofing for a year love ur videos ❤ where r u located if I can ask I don’t think I’m very far from u

❤❤

I love your blogs

You right👏👏

a like for Boycub comeback !!

he did the valley fine dude

Good point! Nice how to vid!

This video has convinced me to not shingle my own roof. Sure wouldn't mind learning from a pro though.

Well done 👍🏼 you did the right thing

Boy cubs a gangster😎😎😎

In boycubs defense. I would’ve laid the roof the way he did.. though the dormers (appear) to be steeper than the main roof, sq footage is significantly less, and that spot between is going to bottleneck either way with snow.. my train of thought but if someone can give me good stats/figures to go off of I’ll forfeit haha.

Just had the same issue at my job with a guy who can’t be told he did something wrong. I just started ripping it off and re did it

So will a marble be running faster at 20' going down a 4/12, than it would be going at 6' down a 6/12? I'm thinking maybe Boycub got it right. Or, if you were in a bicycle race, do you think that you could get going faster down a 6/12 that was 6' long than someone else who was coasting down a 4/12 for 20 feet? I'll bet kids at a skateboard park would be good at answering something like this. Or, if you were on a hill that was steep, but it was only 3' high, and someone else was on a hill that was 6' high, and those hills were on a perfectly flat valley, and you both let balls roll down at the same time, which ball would go the furthest? Would it even depend on the slope? Would slope even matter? One would get to the flat valley quicker, but which ball would go farther before it stopped?

I very much dislike putting drip edge on these spots lmao

Weave it it's the right way.

Boycub is faithful, treat him well.

Wouldn't it be nice if the shingle manufacturers offered a plus size as well. Most are around 40" long, maybe like a 48" lengths to use in these situations.

I've seen a lot of valleys done backwards but they didn't leak don't recommend but it worked don't know how

I agree with the little cubby cub cub so much more water is fishing off the 4 pitcher then the sixer but what do I know I've only been doin it 30 yrs

We call it a bleeder the shingle that goes in the valley your right flat 1st My boss that taught me always said think like water 💧 😉

How do you align your stagger between the bottom of the valley and the top on the 4/12 pitch? The top is already shingled, so how do you know how much to offset on the bottom to get the stagger to work out?

What state are you guys in?

You know what your doing but still don't understand why you dont wear a work pouch

I knwo u all dont really use it often.. but in this case wouldnt it be safer to use valley metal. ? that way it really dont matter which way u do it... ? idk just my thought.. maybe im use to using vally metal some do some dont... good stuff tho

Who taught backwards Billy to roof? Live and learn I guess.

I definitely would’ve made him tear it up at least lol!! And if I was him I would’ve just torn it up for you/my boss anyway

Lower pitch lower peak

Nice ya hireD Boy Cub back!

If that is in an area that gets snow you should not of shingled between those to valleys. Liberty would be a better application and then shingle the the two dormers to it.

Let me tell you boy cub is a good guy for not talking back of it we’re me getting disrespected I would of disrespected you right back you want some one to do the job right then stay on top of them when they are doing the job not when the fuck up is done with

Hey so what are your thoughts on running say like 3 rows up in a weaved pattern at the overhang then cut the valley in after the first 3 rows

Hey are you guys up in lower Michigan?

all that water for that little gutter

Get memories of every time there a double valley I get stuck doin all of them..good shit though looks clean

In places like that you weave the valleys. don't make them cut.

Why not build both sides of the valleys with full pieces (stepping) and filling the middle after?

I saw the tic tok u made on this roof

Sometimes you really make my head hurt 🤦

Metal valleys... is it so hard??

De eria de subir más la teja de el velis

Lmao ...great video!

Craftsman double blade?

That looks like it might be a good candidate to ut I&W as a backup. It just looks like the snow will want to really dam up there. But, what the fuck do i know. looks good from my house.

I hope you keep the toasty thing going forward lol

Why didn't you rip up the other sides of those dormers. Pitches would be exact same

No safety on job site should be shut down safety first

What kind of hose you use?

You only needed to tear the shingles that were in the valley up could have kept most of the shingles on the small gable roof some shingles and time

When did boycub come back? Im surprised you took him back after leaving you for more money

I prefer woven valley’s, but more difficult on two pitches however.

I didn't see you shingling the 22sq you usually do. 😆😆😆

Metal w valley?

How about weaving it all the way up

boycub not to be confused with manbear

I just got sent to a leak because of a backwards valley

Weave it, betcha can't!

Why don't you just pop lines down before you started laying shingles? Gaf is like 22 1/4" I think. Your low shingles at the bottom will make up the difference. Your pretty fast tho.. You can't fuck with me, but your fast. Do you ever just wish you could fire everyone and just have like 10 clones..?

Its just that part Like 2 bandles removed it and tell him how to do it.. Be a leader also it was your fault If he never did something like that thats your fault not his. Also why you did instal single ply or torch or peel and stick in the lower part.

Use metal in valleys. Shingles look like shit in the valley after 10 years. 3 1/4 exposure.

Hey zach!

it was right the first time no?

How long have you been roofing?

He did it right gordy

Still waiting on you showing me how to do the valley, you only did half of it is there anther video

You hired a guy who just lied to you that's all don't feel bad pull it up and do it right the small always goes over the large and you should we leave those valleys now you're going to have a little difficulty because the pitch is different on the steeper side so skip your shingles over but keep your corner in the valley to go up one two one two you get an California header in there you're just going to ask for drama in the bottom of that should have had some kind of underlayment that holds water broke the pitch is so low it ain't going to do good on dimensionals they really hold the water slow trust me put some modified or some torch on that low area and then match the color and let your shingle ears dog over it good luck with that one

Boycub aka napoleon dynamite

You should of left it the way it was now it might leak because of what you did on minute 13:29

I hope you did not really send him home

Lower pitch has to get done first no matter which side gets more water. I always use a W metal valley. Open valley.

Didn't you say he quit before ? Back ?

honestly think you are wrong, water doesn't run up hill no matter what direction you go in, where you're getting the most water running down in one direction is the way your valley should overlap. You think just because snow is building up in the valley it's going to run up that 4/12? unless there is ice damming its going to run down. water takes the easiest path always 100% and if you ARE ice damming, no overlap is going to help because it's going to run up over the topside of the shingle. You tore off his shingles just to prove a point that probably wasn't worth proving.. Now, if it was a 4/12 running down onto 12/12 dormers, i might agree but your pitch difference is shit all

Did you really send dude home

Because they were sick a small dormer. You should of went boy Cubs way

Old video or is boy cub back with you?

Lets start by saying I enjoy your work content, but if you would have talked to me like you did BoyCub we both would've rolled down that roof.
