When Roofing it saves a lot of time and material to pre-cut your lead! Simply taking 6 shingles and cutting 5 of them evenly spaced will get you two courses up the roof Gable lead.

Multi-level efficiency! Looks like you recorded this in the summer. The pool and the green leaves were a giveaway lol

I’m not the fastest on the gun so I always break these down for the crew and then I’ll run out the bottom 4 courses and fill in behind. Typically I do 5 course books to get a little more offset but same principle. It takes about 6 books to do a 16’ rafter, maybe less if you don’t cheat your lines down like I do. One person cutting up books will make a whole section roll so quick and you almost always end up with the scraps at the other end to fill in. Saves time and material in the long run.

Great tip

The manufacturer requirement for each shingle size is on the back of the bundle. It's also best to cut your books with a shingle cutter, way faster and more accurate. You don't just evenly divided up the shingle cuts. There are reasons for the different size cuts

I used to cut books then I worked with some fast shingerlers that showed me to nail then cut in the field and use your cuts for next book saved lots of time but once I learned to run out the valley California style doesn't always apply

@mikeromzek2624 Год назад

5 5/8 cut gets a 7 course book. More shingling less moving.

This is the way I do it

@jamiemacdonald3466 Год назад

Seems like bare minimum on the stagger . Quarter system works great , if your shingles are 40 inches cut 10s , 20 , 30. Makes a nice 10 inch stagger. 2 sets per sheet and off you go

You can work out the valley nail and trace cut your rake

More how-to please

@user-bj4lp3fr1o 4 месяца назад

I thought the flashing at the lower end went under the underlayment?

@mikedeetch8960 Год назад

To be exact 19 5/8, 13 1/8 and 6 9/16 makes every shingle staggered at 6 9 /16 if your shingle is 39 1/4 .

@chrisparmenter9582 Год назад

One thing I do t get is the corners with starter. Look at your rak and drip corner…. This way there is a 7-8” section with no seal strip. I cut a 45 degree angle on my corners so there is a continuous seal strip all the way around the perimeter. Same lengths just steady seal strip. Doing roofs on the coast I need that extra bond for wind resistance.

I'll be building my first house in the Spring. Roof height will be a concern for several reasons. Can you recommend a guide to calculate ridge board height when building a gable roof? thanks! your videos are great!

@quakeekauq1 Год назад

You asking this question raises some concerns about your experience in building, but to answer your question Swanson has a pretty great guide for rafter and ridge calculations ,you can get one free when you buy the Swanson speed square

@joerobijr Год назад

So when nailing shingles on the rake edge you don't want to nail thru the drip edge?

@MikeErb600 Год назад

How do you feel about those shingle cutters

@superroofer3130 Год назад

We dont cut books on our jobs. I tried to show this to my hispanic crew and they refuse to do it, so I make them use all cut offs on the opposite side of the roof...lol.

How do you like the VB shield? I used it once. Kinda slippery. Try the tyvek brand.

@robertgrist8496 Год назад

You mentioned journeyman card. Is your crew a union crew on a payroll or do you hire a subcontract crew with a contract?

@barleyhops38 Год назад

Hey Brian, don't know if you saw note on last video. If a roofer completes a roof job, and didn't put in H-clips, can it be repaired after 18 of the OSB boards were redone without H-clips in a large area? (The boards were replaced due to bowing, so looking back after seeing your most recent video... it looks like previous lack of H-clips could have been a contributor to such bowing... and it's just gonna repeat.) Wish you were in my area and could have done my roof!

@MaMa-qh4dy Год назад

No way to retrofit clips. The deck is already nailed-down. You would have to do a complete re-doo AGAIN because you need to add space (the thickness of the clip) between the boards.!

Nobody cuts books anymore. Tar facing up; left to right 6.5",13",19.5"/ right to left 13",6.5" ! Measure bottom to top in inches & ÷ 34. 220" ÷ 34 & you'll need 6.5 books 😜🤙🍻🇺🇸
