TIPs on installing NICE looking roof with no leaks (drip edge, tar paper, shingles) 

After putting the tar over the last end cap's nails, push some of the loose agragate from the bags the shngles came in, into the tar - like magic, tar blatches disapear! Now, the roof is done!

People who do the drip edges wrong do NOT understand gravity! EXCELLENT DETAILS that a lot of roofing videos do not show! Thank you for the vid! Subcribed!

Great tip on leaving shingles diagonally for safety. I would have never thought of that, but it makes perfect sense.

Thanks for taking the time to put this video together, I am installing shingles on log cabin and needed some help, your video has made it all very easy

Reaaally loved the safety hint on the diagonal shingles when not nailed ! I always use safety harness but got sloppy one day placing loose shingles on the roof…veeery scary near miss with sliding on the roof, hammer flying, a big scream and wife screaming too ! Keep it up

Thank you for the first row of shingles....was what I was trying to recall

No, Sir! We appreciate your time and knowledge shared with us! Thank you!

Really well done. Thank you.

Thumb tabbing always worked well with them

Nice! Very clear. Thanks much!

Awesome tips!!!!! Great video?!!!! Thank you!!!🤙🏼💪🏼

I learn it so well . Thanks ∞❤ ly

thank you for sharing this video, it's the best💪👌👌👌

Good Detailed Explanation i am Building my 1st SHED 12x10 - 4/12 Gabel with GAF Starter Strip , Blue Felt Roll , 6x6 Ceder Posts , 2x6 Rafters and a 2x8 Ridge beam and 2x8 Facia Board , THICK Concrete PAD with Lots of REBAR . 16x14 pad about 2 ft THICK

Awesome 👍👍👍thanks for video 👍

100% agree with the drip edge , except I apply a thin tar on it so the tar paper sticks and can’t pick up in high wind. The shingles should not be used for your starter strip, because the tar strip on the first Rowe can’t stick to a pile of sand properly. Spend a little extra and use starter strips.

Awesome jobs 👌.

Muy buen consejo

THANKS FOR YOU TIME

Thanks for the vid pal, God bless

Good beginner video. 1 suggestion. Cut the handle of the hammer off since you don’t use it. It might help you out. 😂😂😂

Gracias!!!!

Good vid.

Nice video

For the person whos never done this, dont EVER flush the starters n shingles with the drip drop them a quarter inch past the drip youre welcome

Nice job👍

Best explain how to install shingles video.

Three tab shingles are a totally different install than architect shingles - nailing pattern is crucial. The underlayment should be under the dripedge on the rake and over the dripedge on the eaves. Spend the extra on starter strip also I don’t use felt paper, deck armor or tiger paw come in 10 sq rolls and has numerous advantages over felt paper…

2:50 Putting upside-down instead of using a starter will not provide the tar/adhesive near the bottom of the first row.

USE STARTER SHINGLES , THEY HELP FROM WIND DAMAFE A LOT BETTER AND COVER 50 % MORE,

How much mold and rust you got in there with no venting?

Most videos show the paper going under the side drip edges and over the bottom drip edge.

Now don't that beat all, roofing with a claw 🔨.

"100% NOT a good job " haha, I spit out my coffee when I saw that. I'm here to learn how to roof my garage (first time I've roofed ) and other videos don't show this method. - I'm glad I didn't make these mistakes.

I will miss them though

Should actually have a overhang on the eaves and rakes, otherwise water will just wick underneath, probably wont actually leak because of that because of the type of drip edge used but still a possibility. especially with 3 tabs, you dont want to use the same 3 tab shingle for a starter because 3 tabs dont hav a tar strip on the tab part. so nothing will be holding the bottom half down from the wind at the eaves. easy fix is just to use your hook blade and cut just below the tar strip and use that as a starter. shingles arent meant to be bent like that at the transition, if its overhanged too much it will bend over and ruin the shignle at the bend allowing for rain to eventually get through it as it weathers.

I can't believe how a person makes a video when they don't have the slightest idea of ​​what they are doing, incredible

You have to give it a overhang on the bottom at least

If you drift it will leak, if you do any thing wrong it will leak It will always leak. Its leaking before this video was over.

Was a good try anyway. The installation instructions are on the package... drip edge needs to be spaced out ~1/2", drip edge on rake should be on top of the tar paper, shingles need to overhang drip edge by ~1/2", nails should be BELOW the adhesive strip.

Are these the hot shingles in my area I see on the web

That drip edge wasnt installed properly it will leak and allow water underneath

Some positive comments and some negative comments, im not even going to try to replace my garage roof, im just gonna pay some roofers 5 G's to do the work and pray it holds.

Don't use an upside down shingle, just get a starter strip and do it correctly!

So many comments on how NOT to shingle a roof. Please all those suggesting it's incorrect, post a link to YOUR video and showing the correct method.

I had to laugh at 7:24 when he completely missed the nail...sorry :)

This guy using 3 tabs in 2019.. no overhangs on the gable or bottoms. drip was installed poorly. no ventilation. this roof is destined to leak.

For the record, you don't want to nail THROUGH the tar strip. You want to nail BETWEEN the tar strip and the top of the notch.

not sure using roofing nails would be my first option for laying the paper.. the special nails are much better in my opinion..

I thought u cut the starter shingles in to

The nails need to go a bit over the tar. So when it seals, the nail isn't under the tar strip. It's the same with architectural shingles. There's a white line. That's the tar line. Some people say nail there cause it's a double. Don't nail there. You have about an inch above that line to nail. Anything on that line, or under can start a slow leak over time. But who am I to say anything. If you like what you've done. Good shit.

Hi I have just one question,can staples be used to lay the tar paper instead roofing nails?thanks,you doing very good job and well in details,this’ll help a lot of people completely their dream,thanks again.

Sounds like you got your training from either Home Depot or a Lowe's shingle installation class... which will work for a tool shed but not on a house

If you don’t give a thumbs up to this video, “It will leak!”

If you can't send that nail home in 2 hits your life would be hell over here

I installed my shingles using this method and my 10x12 shed was ruined by leaks within 9 months.

Porque no se los ponen en el lomo como lo hacemos los hispanos😎😅

Nice video however 3 tabs are on way out lol

One thing I've noticed is that the different videos disagree as to whether to nail through the tar strip.

Metal goes up rakes after prep is done, and over on the bottom, and why are you using 2 and 3 inch pieces of drip edge not a good idea, have to keep editing this gets worse and worse your starting your liners with keys lined up with your starting shingle keys water waiting to go through, another tip for you buddy will help with those hip transitions shingle up to it use a piece of drip edge, as if you were starting the eave of a house, and use it as your starting point for the top half of the transition.

Chakline🤔not sure this is normal😂. No vents🤣. Nail bottom on starter not in nail pattern(high) wind damage. See

You don’t nail on the Adhesive , nail above it !

How a plumbus’s is made lol

You should try reading the instructions on the package first....

I would not follow any advice given in this video

HACK ALERT 🚨 . On the drip edge eve you cut a tab to fold over protecting the plywood then cut the other piece coming off the rake to fit well and look nice . Second do not use TAR PAPER FOR SHINGLES , 3rd YOU NEVER lay a shingle upside down to act as a starter shingle , embarrassing

A bit of this is off

There are so many things wrong here

LoL

This is not a good video... way to many details left out watch more and learn more

Step 1: Don't use 3 tab Step 2: Buy a real hammer

100% not good job

So many things done wrong also get a new hammer that's for girl use on the inside of the house maybe just go get a roofing nail

Everything is wrong

Wrong!

your starter row installation advice is atrocious and shows that you have no clue

So much wrong with this video!

You are not a roofer. Stop making videos you don't know what you're doing.
