HOW TO | ROOFING PART 2 

Finally a video that shows the actual nail spacing. Thanks. And thanks for not being afraid of making mistakes on video. It makes it more informative and believable. Perfectionism is amateur. You’re a pro

Watching you cut the starters to expose more of the tar line, I do that too! Also I was taught decades ago to save the grit in the bundles to mix with tar or silicone to cover the last nails on the cap or any exposed nails in the field!

When I started shingling in 91, three tabs were the thing, we snapped 5 inch lines all the way up the roof. Perfect every time

awesome to see how you fixed your mistakes on the fly like that. super cool.

This is how I prefer to do it, too. Starter up the sides, too. Love it

Great informative and funny video!

Hooyah!! This video just cleared up a ton of questions I had from your larger scale videos. Thanks for doing it.

That was great! Fun too, I'm roofing a 10x12 shed with a steep pitch I need all the tips I can get!

another fantastic video!! I appreciate all the tips and tricks. Solid work..

Nice man I'm a veteran too. Thanks for this.

Nice bro. You make it look easy. Throw out a video on recommended tools & equipment needed for roofing .

I don't know if you have time to answer this question. My roof rake on one end is less at the eave than at the top of the gable rake at the ridge it's 15° on the other end there is a dormer. Im thinking instead of cutting the starter shingles let them over hang the rake as i work up and cut them every five shingles. Thanks great videos .

Thanks for the video. Learned a lot.

thank you well taught video. awsome

Great video and technique. You make that look so easy....I've never shingled.

@vereran construction, your videos are very helpful, I appreciate you taking the time to show us the steps.

great stuff, Semper Fi

The capping trick when starting is nice ima have to start doing that's thanks

I’ve been following you so long, that you can make a poster for the barber shop with all your different hairstyles! Saw this pop up and said: “man, never saw the Travolta guy before…”

I’m putting a new shingle on a old shingled roof Do you recommend using starter shingle

Good video thanks for the info, hahaha the end

At 10:07, does meeting that bottom shingles together cause risk for a leak? Would anyone opt to overlap or would that mess things up. Granted I know nothing about roofing

Best video on roofing I have seen. Learned so much!

Thank you sir really enjoyed both parts !!!

Good roofer. Gittin' er done. 4 nails is enough. Wasting 25% with 5. And no shiners. Reloading less often I put the factory end on the right rake. Nail it and make the cut on the inside end. Make all my cuts with an old pair of large tin snips. Try it you might like it You're welcome

Are drip caps fine to install after the fact? Roofer that did our roof last year butchered the gutter ends and now gutters are leaking between gutters and fascia.

This was hilarious. I’m 21 just about to re-shingle a part of my house that my dad did when he was 24. From what I uncovered when I stripped it, he definitely could’ve used this video too.

Damn I've never used the bottom half of the ridge piece as a ridge starter like that. I usually place a bead of tar there instead. Not a bad idea though.

So many ideas on how to do the same thing, I've watched 5/6 different roofing videos, all good but all do things slightly different

Great videos I wana learn this so bad

awesome jobs

With Certainteed Landmarks and the Certainteed swiftstart starters they are the same length which is nice

Watched both videos beautiful dude so would you use like a ride cap on the top or just shingle just like you did?

Thanks a lot man! Attempting my own mini barn roof replacement.

Could you run your first starter up the rake?...butt the next one up to that running along the roof line...first shingle is a full one...seems the easiest, to me any ways.

When trimming shingles to start your runs, don't worry about making your cuts fancy and wavy like this guy does... just make 'em straight. 🙂

what size roofing nails do you use in the eaves so they wont shine through? Or how do you shingle the eaves when there is a 1 to 2ft overhang so there are no shiners?

Great video. Vetter then all the rest!!!

Very simplified break down of how to do it!

Thanks for showing us how to shingle....It would be nice to have a tar line at the right side also.

Awesome video!haha Perfect ending! Doing my first roof tomorrow on my shop. Thanks for the knowledge!

Ayyye the camera man is getting a lot better...lol Dude you are so awesome! Thank you so very much!

And I have seen that bostitch gun alot are they worth the money for quality to spend on one?

Perfect men thanks

You know I'm gonna send it!

I don't see any of those starter shingles in Home Depot nor Lowes, so I just turned my regular shingles upside down for a starter shingle, then put another over it in the correct position on top. I'm using the old fashioned three section shingle.

would love to see a video like this for a hip roof

We dont used eave metal, 2inch into the gutter. Makes perfect protection. And most gutters are 5inch can still clean out easy.

Why are the nails so close to the front of the tile above? To my mind that just gives the rain an easy entry.

I always use the storm nail it's just routine for me but it doesnt help when it's that high it should be center of last and next nail.

love the video... ❤❤

assuming water shield is better than paper, outside of expense is there something wrong with using ice and water shield on the entire roof?

What kind of blade are you using to cut the shingles?

I'm trying to patch up my roof but I had no idea how to do it, great informative video ,new sub right here

Молодец красавчик так держать ты просто красссава ты мастер своего дела.

Can see a closed valley and a woven valley? Great content!

Nice!

Thank you, for these 3 parts of real man/world knowledge. My roof is very similar to this. so awesome reference material for me to fall back on if needed, and to show my helper when confusion may start to set in. Have a great day, rom Miracle Beach BC Canada.

You guys have too much fun, doesn't seem like work. See ya in part 3!

i have a lot of roofing experience but i learned a lot!

Could you bring your bottom vertical starter right to the eave edge and butt up the first horizontal starter to it to get proper overlap?

GAF.........Mr. Lipinskiy must be laughing his Nut off. There's an old saying, " anything looks good from an airplane ". Right?

what shoes do you wear to walk on the roof as flat ground without slipping?

I get over hanging starter on gutter apron. Over hanging on drip edge isn't really needed. It already overhangs by an inch from the facia. I know it's about preference, but I don't get overhanging drip. Run your starter flush with the edge of the drip, and run it. To each their own, I guess.

what do you think of the dewalt 20v max coil roofing nailer

That's a nice roof color 👍

For your short edge, Pick a shingle with a 3-4inch single on the end and under lap a piece. Works so good

Lmao and btw that’s some hack shit having a shiner and putting a piece over it so u can see it and so it lifts the shingle up lmao once again that’s funny how about takin some tar off the tar strip and wack it on the nailhead basicaly welds it over the nailhead

Zach how much caulk if i have alot of the nails in seem,some non covered nails too due to no chaulk lines used.if i get 7 yr from my new roof i think itll get metal over all .just did as good as i could.again nails in the seam was something i found difficult to deal /w

👍👍👍

Hey, did you just use your fingers as a stop for your nail gun, and if your starters is shorter then your shingle just cut the thing in half you'll be fine

I was told 6 nail is standard now, to prevent wind damage

weird how the starter isnt the same length, the shingles and starter we use are the same, i just cut about a third of the starter piece off to start with, and then run the rest full length,

One thing I notice is that you don’t ever put bull on the drip edge. Is it not required over there? It is where i live lol

very nice

More shiners in this video than when you combine dozens of his videos hahaha

Is this install standard for cold weather and snow.?

Just wondering- I’ve been working as a labourer for a roofer for the last couple weeks, rather than cutting the shingles as he lays them, he just lays a full shingle and shifts over about 6 inches each shingle going up, and then goes back and fills in the gap afterwards. Does anyone know if there’s an advantage/ disadvantage to doing it that way or is it just preference? Thanks!

Can you come and roof my house in Pensacola FL? Lol great work!!!!!

Awesome bro

Getting my roof done here in Chicago in a couple of days which shingle should i get Landmark vs Duration!???

but arent the tabs supposed to line up nicely on the vertical ?? it seems kind of random

Does anyone remember when certainteed landmarks came in a paper package? The way you're installing them makes it look terrible. Solids over solids 5 courses up? You gotta put opens over solids! Love it! And now it stands out like a sore thumb. Especiallly in the field when you get like 6 or 7 of em! Looks terrible. It only takes a few seconds to grab a different shingle and that's the mark of a Craftsman.

What nail use for the roofing

Would it be possible for you to do a video on the mathematical process on figuring out how many shingles you need for a roof or how many sets of shingles you need and I don't know I was told to follow this RU-vid channel by vandermeer roofing if that name rings

Do you ever fold the top shingle over the ridge?

Btw u gotta cover up the tar line on the cap lol I could go all day

What happens when you get to the last run on your ridge and one side is running an inch and a half off because you didn't mark the whole roof off.

Thanks for the content, Zack

LMAO damn bro what happened quarantine got you all fucked up still enjoy the videos don't stop with them

Dude, your hair is looking awesome!!

You don’t have to do stair steps right at the beginning, you can finish your first row then cut 6 inches on the second and so on, this way you know exactly how short you gonna be at edge as you go.

You’d be great to work for. I been roofing for a few years and I’m also a carpenter but I’d still enjoy learning from you a lot. I feel it’s hard to find anyone that matches my work ethic these days but you clearly enjoy the grind as much as I do. Oh and I’m jealous that you don’t have to use tar on shingles.

Didn’t even know you own a pouch.! lol

What would putting that little piece of tile on there.

Now you know who not to call factory on factory is best but I barley did it how many mistakes on this little section than transfer that to an entire roof if u use the force running the shingles up why not the ridge cap it's the same principle

I do Hvac so I truly understand I can't see it from my house statement lol

A little mouse can crawl in between his two metal overlap. Not best. You need to squeeze the end of the one coming on top, or if wood deck not straith you need to cut your metal at the peaK of bend or curve and restart your edging with new overlap. If you just do 3/8 outside metal edge you could nail your starter into asphalt strip and with long enough nail you can reach your facia wood too so strong wind will have no chance to play with you first shingle row. If you worried about water penetration you could mastic or caulk top of nails that will also serve as additional 'glue' holding down first row to your starter, especially very low slope roof needs extra attention. Just watch out of amount mastic you use so as to not sticking out and make a mess of the face of your metal edge. Also, since this roof almost flat throw in some mastic or caulking for your eve metal connections, again small amount to keep edging clean. Of course these tricks mostly for homeowners who wants maximum performance out of their new roof. Good luck.

I don’t know but I saw atleast 6 cap that tar line was showin

Ice and water belongs underneath gutter apron and adhered to the fascia board
