Actual career roofer 6 years. just a few things, great video thought it was very informative and great for DIYers definitely if you’re brave enough to do you’re own dang roof, but couple of minor things I noticed. Wouldn’t call them errors just this is my career 4 tab asphalt shingles and I’ve spent many a year on the roof. first few minutes right away the drip edge (metal flashing he installed) should be an 1/8th to 1/4 inch out from the plywood on the bottom to allow the water to have more distance when going down the roof maybe to feed into a gutter or at least away from your ply wood as sometimes the ice and water won’t seal perfectly and you have that room for error. After that the ice and water, installation was good. I do recommend depending on the slope securing the underlay alittle more with more staples or ideally nails from your gun if you intend to stand on it when you cut your ice and water back you lost me, you did overlap your paper but that seems to be about a 4 inch overlap which if you’re not using the adhesive on the top of the ice and water paper which is alittle faster to stick does make me nervous. I’d leave the ice and water paper at least a couple feet in width and then do my paper over that not worrying about the minimal size difference as the shingles will cover that so it’s unnoticeable assuming your underlay isn’t full of bubbles. Paper was good, again you’re making me nervous standing on it with so few staples but it’s on the side of a house and only a few feet up so 🧘🏻 I’m calm. Appreciate that you went over the ridge with your paper, seriously so good🤣 Did you just say you fired a guy for smacking his hand with the staple tacker??? I’ve got over half a decade of just straight roofing nothing else and I do that at least once every few weeks. Apprentices will do that a few times a day🤣 hard core man. The side flashing is interesting but I would have used the same piece as the drip edge and wrapped the corners at a 45 because if you don’t caulk that at the end of the video your plywood’s gonna get hit What are you doing with that starter??? Are you going to cut a little 2 inch strip of starter for the sides?? Why make it more difficult on yourself there? Good video. Works well for your first roof ever
@@SkateNateTheGreatcrazy that I want to get into the roofing business but I don’t know anything and this video literally helped without having to go to school or wor for years of knowledge
I just started a position as an Exec Asst to the President of a roofing company with no prior experience. I type proposals for him all the time. This is helpful.
I learned more on this video than working for almost 8 months with guy really don’t wanna teach me Now that I started practicing what I saw here they say: I taught you the good way to do it
Thank you so damn much for showing proper gutter apron/drip edge/ rake edge installtion! Literally every single roofing company in my area 45s regular drip around to the eave and all on top of felt. I've seen hundreds of roofs this year and 1 had proper drip edge installation.
The most professional way and best imo is bending the corner as 1 piece wrapping from eave to rake. It’s a tricky cut but looks great and doesn’t leave a seam on the corners.
@@bigthunder7002I agree this looks most profesional and nice from the ground the problem primarily occurs when you install gutters on that roof. You want the gutter to go out past the edge of the shingle on the rake because there's more surface area for water to cling to so it has a stream that comes off the corner of the shingle at the rake/eave. So with the wrapped corner you have to hang gutter below drip edge, notch the back of the gutter to accept the drip, or cut the drip to accept the gutter. You could also just have the gutter stop at the drip. But I can tell you from experience that little stream that comes off the corner will dig a hole in the landscaping.

With the new synthetic felt you can staple just the top and bottom. Keep the staples out of the feild and no more leaks, YES it will hold you. Try it and thank me later.

Awesome video man! Something I've learned for dripedge is to slightly bend the end of your metal inward with your hand for the overlaps and it helps to keep it from flaring out, works for eves and rakes (florida mans alternative to making the 45 cut, cause code calls for a 3'' overlap on all dripedge). Code here calls for everything opposite of what your doing too lol
It's easier if you just snip the metal a little, opposite from what he does in this video, then you can slip the underside, where the L shape is, and tuck it underneath the side you're laying it overtop. Makes it 100% flush.
Josh If I got what your saying right then that would work just fine too. Where i’m from they require 3” over lap on all eve or rake metals so bending the ends is the only option
I figured out my self this neat trick on making drip edge look nice and continous. Seeing drip edge like at 9:24 just pisses me off. First squish the end that goes over a bit (all roofers know this) 2nd bend the corner with the kick out a little extra with your index and thumb kinda like you wanna make a triangle bend mark. More than half the time the overlaps come out beautiful you can't even see them
My gpa would always make me roof w him he was so harsh w me i had to learn to roof thats what i thought as a kid now being an adult im grateful for his teachings to survive and i could actually say im not useless in this world
Zach, please make a video showing how to apply underlayment to an angled hip roof. Does ice shield go over the hip? Do i cut the underlayment as it comes over the ridge to lay flat on the hip? Ive got a roof line like a typical gable, but the rake side has a tapered third side. Similar to a pryamid.
Cool video, when I do my starter I start my gable one first and get my overhang on the side gable plus bring it down on the each so it has the over hang on the side and the eave, then I but my first eave starter too that gable starter, might sound confusing but it looks good too.
I cover the ice and water with paper so it’s easier for next guy and easier to walk. Tearing off shingles from some ice and water is impossible. They become one.
Was wondering about that. I have seen a lot of videos. I did my first roof with my dad in 1995. They didn't really have a lot of the underlayment they have now. I see a lot of videos where it seems to me they are either skipping steps or the process has evolved around speed and not around function or considering the next team that will replace the roof in 15 years +/-.
I watch all your videos and just want to thank you for all your knowledge. But I just watched another video that instructed to put the ice and water under the drip so you get coverage on the front 2in of plywood ya or na?
Not specifically no, but you just cut and angle so it's tight to the wall and trim the protruding edge back and inch so it allows the drip edge to extend back, with the thick edge resting flush against the j channel
He had to simulate a bigger roof. His mock roof is small enough that it is almost entirely covered by the Ice & Water shield, and installing the underlayment (“felt”) would mean covering more IWS than needed. It would give the impression that more than four inches of overlay is necessary.
I definitely need this video I have to redo the roof that my ex-wife’s husband put on top about the shittiest job ever he didn’t even stagger the The shingles instead he made a nice straight line all the way down the roof.
complete noob here. i have a question. initially you covered the whole roof with the ice barrier but then around the 3:40 mark the ice barrier is only for about a foot from the bottom and then you covered the whole roof with the synthetic felt on top of that. what am i missing?
Watch my video on the tear off, dry in , and put back. It will explain all. It's got around 700k views if I remember right. It's an hour and 8 minutes so you can skim through and see whatever you want
You should use your knuckle on your finger it’s a whole lot faster than chalk line for your starter and usually I put my first starter piece on the edge metal side then I put my starter where the drip is at that way u can put a full shingle or start your books immediately if u want a demonstration let me know. And I promise I always come out straight
If you're talking about in other videos I used some fatter ones..yea I preferred those taller ones but that brand quit making em and I moved towards using the manufacturer starter these days over what I prefer anyway. For example if I'm using GAF shingles on a job I'm gonna always use their starter and ridge cap as well. 3 components for the warranty.
Great videos. Question: I’m getting ready to reroof my house. I have 4 valleys total. Do I start in bottom corner and work into the valley or shingle valley first and work outward? I’m planning on using 2 cut 5 row method that I’ve see you use. I’m planning on using closed valley method.
Watch my valley video. You can do whatever way makes sense. A lot of ppl think you have to start from the valley, that's not true. I wouldn't run a big side left handed just because It's easier to do a valley from the valley. Sometimes it makes more sense to shingle a big side side up to a valley and then cut pieces into it. Once in a while.
Also, if you haven't ever roofed before, and your house has 4 valleys...I can almost gurantee you'll mess something up lol just want to throw that out there. Listen to the beginning of my most recent roofing series and it will tell you why. (In part 3)
He is demonstrating in small scale. Quite often the pieces don't come in 30 foot lengths unless you have a fancy bending machine in the back of your truck
My family house got hit by hurricane took some shingles off, wish you company is located where I live, because it looks like you know what you are doing
On the rake, you could foils the extra drip around the sub facia band. Keep in mind when the gutter comes in behind the drip edge, this keeps the water that comes down the edge of the rake from getting into the facia seams that come together at the corner
Can't do that! This is a very common comment but the thing about the gutter is it goes out past the drip edge. All gutters extend about an inch past the edge of fascia. What you do is wrap the fascia, not the drip edge or gutter apron. That protects the wooden sub fascia. See my most recent video on fascia, it explains it all. Anybody who does that has a gutter that is too short, or the gutter guy cut that fascia and did it the right way
Actually I've done gutters for 8years now, and also a certainteed certified master shingle applicator. Im telling you from experience you can wrap your drip, giving a nicer reveal, better water protection, and get the gutter an inch past the shingle line. We do it all the time, and I actually prefer the lazy method where people leave it hang heavy as opposed to the cut method so we can cut and wrap it ourselves afterwards if it's been missed
I agree you wrap your fascia as well, but I'm telling you there is also a way to wrap the drip edge and you can put a wrap on top of a wrap and it's always a cleaner reveal
thank you for the video. when i can use the ice & water berrier? and when i will use flat roofing underlayment ? can i just use the ice & water to cover all my roofing ? thank you
Ice and water is usually required along the eve edges to extend 2 ft past the inside of the exterior wall, and in valleys. I'd check your local code though with your building department. Depends on the area
i saw couple videos they put drip edge above ice and water shield and underneath shingle, and what you did is even under ice and water shield, very confusing for a noob like me , does the order really matter or not at all at this scenario? thanks
@@NWIVeteranConstruction simple formula.... Length of slate - lap (usually 75mm depending on pitch) then divide by 2.... This gives you the "working gauge" then divide your roof height (eaves to ridge) by that number and that will give you the amount of courses on the roof, then divide your roof height (eaves to ridge) by the number of courses and that will give you your " true gauge" at which you will fit your slates to the roof, chalking lines at the specified gauge and laying the slates to they lines, massive satisfaction when you step back and have a look at the end
Slate or even concrete tiles which are widely used in Wales are unheard of in Canada and USA. It's tar shingles or metal tin roofs pretty much. Shingles typically give you 15 - 20 years life depending on the installer :)
Two reasons why you don’t want “nice and tight” on the drip edge: Firstly, the gutter guys that come behind you will hate that you didn’t leave them room between the fascia and the drip edge. Secondly, assuming a very straight edge, “nice and tight” isn’t as dreadful as I made it out above, but my eave-edge isn’t straight, and I’ll bet most others’ isn’t either. And if you try tight along the front, the top of the metal is going to buckle and wave. So leave about 1/2” gap and you’ll make everyone happy.
try Epilay underlayment Zack! it rolls out nice, cuts nice, you can walk it, it is pricey! but we LOVE it!...lots of grip in wet weather!...recently our supplier went with this "star wrap" brand....it just SUCKS! the salesman said "the guys LOVE it!" it is TERRIBLE!...lol...Epilay is good shit! along with the IKO system will NOT fail!
Love it No fluff or over talk...EXCELLENT!!!

For example if I'm using GAF shingles on a job I'm gonna always use their starter and ridge cap as well. 3 components for the warranty.
Why not use the "peel and stick" msterial over the entire wood sheeting? Could that be done and would that be better? Thank you.
So if your doing more then what the ice and water covers and your using paper up the rest do you lower the paper to the bottom of the top laminate?
Nvm this video answered my question lol
when installing starter stip along the rake are suppose to overlap or butt up
can i still use gutter apron if the gutters are already on the house im just replacing my roof not starting a new project
Yes. You put it right over the back of the gutter and into it.

Could you treat the wood under the flashing to to prevent rotting.
When you run that drip edge up the gable, why not bend one continuous piece over it rather than but up two pieces and have that opening on the top?
He is demonstrating in small scale. Quite often the pieces don't come in 30 foot lengths unless you have a fancy bending machine in the back of your truck
what are all these material called? drip edge? flashing? roofing felt? starter?

Ice and water shield/ ice barrier/ ice and water barrier /ice shield. Ect.
Do cap nails help at all for ice and water & felt?
My family house got hit by hurricane took some shingles off, wish you company is located where I live, because it looks like you know what you are doing
i like your videos, do you have your own big company? or do you get houses from companies and give work to your crews or crew? ( like an LLC)
I do my own work. 99% of the time
Do you have to put ice and water on the roof rakes?
Where did you get the Hammer nail gun at????
I like the old school tin snips.
In Colorado we are required to use cap nails or cap staples in our underlayment it also voids the warranty on most synth felt
Why don't you run your I&W over your drip as a full run?
that's not how you cut drip edge going over a gable end.
@5:50... You can set and trace "ANY" metal with the oils on your finger tip.
Do you not install ice and water barrier in the whole roof?
No. Only 2 ft past the inside of the exterior wall
On the rake, you could foils the extra drip around the sub facia band. Keep in mind when the gutter comes in behind the drip edge, this keeps the water that comes down the edge of the rake from getting into the facia seams that come together at the corner
Can't do that! This is a very common comment but the thing about the gutter is it goes out past the drip edge. All gutters extend about an inch past the edge of fascia. What you do is wrap the fascia, not the drip edge or gutter apron. That protects the wooden sub fascia. See my most recent video on fascia, it explains it all. Anybody who does that has a gutter that is too short, or the gutter guy cut that fascia and did it the right way
Actually I've done gutters for 8years now, and also a certainteed certified master shingle applicator. Im telling you from experience you can wrap your drip, giving a nicer reveal, better water protection, and get the gutter an inch past the shingle line. We do it all the time, and I actually prefer the lazy method where people leave it hang heavy as opposed to the cut method so we can cut and wrap it ourselves afterwards if it's been missed
I agree you wrap your fascia as well, but I'm telling you there is also a way to wrap the drip edge and you can put a wrap on top of a wrap and it's always a cleaner reveal
Wow! weight loss looks good!
lol i hope so. been workin my ass off
What size n kind of roofing gun is the best
i like bostich, hitachi is good too though. just my experience
My first day of roofing I woke up an hour early and here I am 😅
Haha go to my "tear off/ dry in/ put back" video. It has a lot of views and You should get a bit out of that.
Thank you thank you
Not less than 10" 🤣
thank you for the video. when i can use the ice & water berrier? and when i will use flat roofing underlayment ? can i just use the ice & water to cover all my roofing ? thank you
Ice and water is usually required along the eve edges to extend 2 ft past the inside of the exterior wall, and in valleys. I'd check your local code though with your building department. Depends on the area
@@NWIVeteranConstruction please please can i get your phone number if you don’t mind ❤️
👍👍👍
i saw couple videos they put drip edge above ice and water shield and underneath shingle, and what you did is even under ice and water shield, very confusing for a noob like me , does the order really matter or not at all at this scenario? thanks
I've done it every way. But from the thousands of comments on this channel the way I showed is the most accurate
@@NWIVeteranConstruction thanks for your reply, and good info to know
Uh sir your not cover the full drip edge with the starter from the gable I’m very concerned …
Are you licensed in Illinois? I need a total roof tear off and replacement. I live in Steger Illinois.
Do you think you could do a slated roof? I'm in Scotland and only ever use slate or tile for pitched roofs and single ply or torch on for flat roofs
With research and watching videos yes. I understand things very well but wouldn't jump into without knowing
@@NWIVeteranConstruction simple formula.... Length of slate - lap (usually 75mm depending on pitch) then divide by 2.... This gives you the "working gauge" then divide your roof height (eaves to ridge) by that number and that will give you the amount of courses on the roof, then divide your roof height (eaves to ridge) by the number of courses and that will give you your " true gauge" at which you will fit your slates to the roof, chalking lines at the specified gauge and laying the slates to they lines, massive satisfaction when you step back and have a look at the end
Obviously there is other things to consider but that is a basic rundown, maybe I should post a video? 🤣
Slate or even concrete tiles which are widely used in Wales are unheard of in Canada and USA. It's tar shingles or metal tin roofs pretty much. Shingles typically give you 15 - 20 years life depending on the installer :)
FIRST!
A man knows his job.... A man doesn't wear useless toolbags to do a demo video of how to make a roof.
If you put drip edge after ice and water isn’t the rain going to go under the drip edge if the shingles don’t protect it ?!!!
I have about 8 years of experience as a roofer, please take me to work!
My first day of roofing Tuesday. I have no experience. Any advice? should i buy boots?
Two reasons why you don’t want “nice and tight” on the drip edge:
Firstly, the gutter guys that come behind you will hate that you didn’t leave them room between the fascia and the drip edge.
Secondly, assuming a very straight edge, “nice and tight” isn’t as dreadful as I made it out above, but my eave-edge isn’t straight, and I’ll bet most others’ isn’t either. And if you try tight along the front, the top of the metal is going to buckle and wave.
So leave about 1/2” gap and you’ll make everyone happy.
Who desiged this roof
try Epilay underlayment Zack! it rolls out nice, cuts nice, you can walk it, it is pricey! but we LOVE it!...lots of grip in wet weather!...recently our supplier went with this "star wrap" brand....it just SUCKS! the salesman said "the guys LOVE it!" it is TERRIBLE!...lol...Epilay is good shit! along with the IKO system will NOT fail!
