Great video. Clear, concise, no wasted time talking about unrelated crap that nobody needs to hear, no annoying background music. Great job and I'll be following your tips soon on a shed I'm building. I've shingled a house and a shed before, but it's been 15 years, so this is a great refresher. Thank you.
I LOVE THIS! My dad passed away from cancer this year and he did Construction and Home Improvement. He ran his own self employed business from his home with all the tools he bought in his life. When he died, my family members stole everything and sold it I believe as far as my family tells me. I work at a restaurant now and my cousin just offered me a job Monday to go and install four simple shingles on an already complete roof and my cousin told me to research it and understand what I am doing so I am now here watching this and already watched it as I type this. I also have to install a little rectangle thingy on a door that prevents it from SLAMMING I think so I will research that next I think. I am 23 and my name is Christian. Respect and love everyone. Thanks CCX this shit brings me back when I used to work with my dad rest his heart Amen up above. :)
I never comment, but THANK YOU FOR YOUR BREVITY!!! This site is filled with 25-minute videos giving 6 minutes' worth of information. This is a new record for good information per minute!
I was thinking the same thing. Im not a roofer but I done it before and I will be doing it again in a few days. Im watching roofing videos to refresh my mind on how to do it. And I notice right away that he did it wrong because if water comes from the side it will get under the felt and it will get on the wood.
@@johnshayter5035 he is not wrong btw. If you have seen it done differently or you have heard someone say it is done differently, they are not installing roof systems correctly
Another thing I have found in roofs in general is the way that so many people seem to have serious difficulty in the concept of water running DOWNHILL and sometimes possibly getting blown sideways in high winds. So many times I have worked on gutters or even just cleaning them out and discover that whoever installed them made the downspout the high point. ????????
Don’t know why ‘experts’ is in apostrophe but i can read English pretty well. Instructions on shingle packaging and manufacturers website all say the underlayment goes first. Then the dripedge. Also says failure to properly install may void warranty. But I’m guessing you and these guys know more than the shingle manufacturers, huh?
Thank you so much for this video. I am rebuilding an awesome shed. It is 10’x16’ with a garage door. The roof was damaged a long time ago. The shed sat for ten years with a bad roof. I completely disassembled the roof and was able to keep the drip edge pieces. I had to scab in a bunch on the trusses, and have new wood down but have never built a roof in my life. With this information I can confidently finish my roof. Thanks again.
@@drayburke4432 theres always more than one way to do it these guys dont realize you can dryin from the top down during a tear off and dry every 4 ft put board down if its steep then you never have to go up till you shingle
Big help for me dude. I have to do a 1300'sq roof and I can't afford to pay to do it. I'm an aircrft mechanic and feel confident I can do this. Thanks!
Thank you for explaining step by step how to cut the shingle. I am a female and I wanted to learn to help my mother on her roof. I like to learn all sort of things when it comes to fixed it yourself.

I am a homeowner with a day job who does not do anything construction related for a living. That being said I am working on framing out my basement and Bought this ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxHQsUrwNr5GQrnx9V4xDdUr56qxwuiBHt gun. I have done a few walls already, have probably shot a couple hundred nails through this thing and have yet to have a misfire. It works awesome, good depth on every nail if you have your compressor set right.

I'm a woman and am having to install shingles because I can't afford to pay someone. At 64 I needed this quick video to even know where to start. I thought I needed roofing cement or something like that. Glad to see I don't! I had most of supplies needed given from others left overs. Thank you .wish me luck. I also don't have gable as roof is lower than roof above, sloped not flat and starts under a wide eave. No nice nail gun though so I'll be hammering and then covering each nail head with black waterproof caulk to be sure it's water resistant as best I can. My paper has lines on it and I wondered if line side is up or down. I'm guessing up ? As a guide for shingle rows?
I was taught that underlayment/felt should be on top of the eave side drip edge (like the video shows) and underlayment/felt should be UNDER the rake side of the drip edge. This is so any water on the rake side penetrating would go over the drip edge and land on the underlayment. The way this video shows with underlayment/felt on top of the rake side would cause water to reach the wood sheeting and potentially cause water damage.
great video, this is the way we roofed for 100 years or so, all this new tech is just adding to the cost. you still only get 20 to 25 years with the new crap.
Realllyyy proud to see youngens actually making a honest living....inthought that the felt paper goes around the show rafter N the fascia board...as a weather sealer...then the edging ges on ( the edging bonds to the striping of the adhesive of the starter strip.....?the felt paper does never adhere to the drip edge?... that's YYY the paper gets ffolded onto the fascia W the show rafter ???? I DO LIKE HOW UUUU N FORTIFIED 45'D THE EDGING on the fascia side then butted the edging on the rake.....THANK U TONHAVE SHARED THAT....
We do ice and water barrier on the roof edge in Minnesota. Runs 3 feet across up the edge. Protects from water leaks and ice dam build up. It's basically tar in a fruit roll-up type plastic and it's really heavy. One tube is 90 lbs. Yeah I used to be a roofer.
I am not a pro-roofer but had done a lot of roof repair over the years, also installed new a old. Every body had done differently. My solution is to prevent water from getting to the underlayment, to me there's no right way or wrong way( ..well to some degree) as long as you know what you are doing.
Well said. I was a roofer in Florida back in the days and in California they do it differently, especially the laying of the shingles and the drip edge
The guy who came to clean our gutters mentioned TO MY WIFE AND MOTHER-IN-LAW that I improperly installed the singles on our garden shed - Ha. After watching this video, I see that I messed up at every single step. Your wonderful, concise and complete video will help me regain hero-status at my house. Thank you so much !
I'm a GC and I tell homeowners they can do it just expect to do it all the wrong ways first before doing it the right way. I love learning new skills but I expect to screw it up my first attempt.
@@michaelmcgee2026or people can just research and do it right the first time. I’ve found recently that diy is much higher quality than paying a contractor, unless said contractor has a year long waitlist due to being one of the few decent ones around.
I saw 2 things...drip edge should be about a finger thickness away. But I did like the use of starter strip up edges i have never done this but see the benefit
No mention of the direction of the ridge cap based on predominant wind direction or if the ridge ties into another roof line. And I agree with the other comments on drip over felt on the rake edge. In my state, ice and water shield is required at the eve edge two feet pass the interior wall.
I work in roofing for more than 10 years and for different companies and every buddy wants something different this day’s most of the companies like to use ice and water shield , also the overhead on the metal drip some people like 1/4-1/2-1/3
I noticed a couple issues. The drip edge on the rake should go over the underlayment to protect the decking. The starter strip on the rack needs to go over the starter strip on the eave.
Another thing about the 6" cuts. If you measure shingle it's roughly 40" maybe a little less then that, make equal cuts at less then 8" no waste. 40"/full, 32",24" add the two cut offs 16" and 8" no waste. Perfect 45°
I am a Self employed Plumber with 34 year's experience. 34 year's ago I was a carpenters helper with 2.5 year's experience and I do some kitchen and bathroom renovation. Do you think I would be able to put a new roof on my home?
I was a roofer for almost 9 years. We always put the paper on before the drip edge so water that gets on the drip edge runs on the paper instead of down in the wood ?
Only issues I saw were about the amount of nails, differing on different sides of the roof. It's good to be shooting it 6 times regardless. Also, Drip edge is installed under underlayment on eaves, over the underlayment on rakes in nearly every situation.
Is this different depending on what area of the states you live in ? It seems every state has different code for felt being above or below the drip edger on the rake.
@@bellagio88it's controversial to say the least. For every roofer that says go over you'll have another saying go under.....and of course depending on who you ask their way is right.
I have to say . While getting bids to get my roof done. A few contractors told me I needed a tear off. Showing me the two layers of roof . Saying in Calif . Your only allowed 2 layers . Well I knew better . I was amazed . Be carful. This is great advise. Thank you
Reminds me of this goof I worked with in my 20’s. He just couldn’t understand how to sidewall shingle. We would build mock-up panels like this for him to practice on.. he never did figure it out and now he teaches high school shop class lol.. seriously.
This is a great tutorial. My shed roof is 3/4". What size nails should I use to install asphalt singles without penetrating the roof on the inside? i.e. I don't want to see nails sticking through the ceiling. TY
You should mention if you’re shingling in northern areas where there’s snow you need to use Wintergard on the bottom edges and also you can put that along the rake which sticks to the wood so you don’t get ice buildup under the shingles. In most places where there is winter weather if you don’t use Wintergard it will fail inspection.
Jw, how come the nails are not put higher up? Wouldn't that allow the single placed above (higher up on roof) to better protect water/ice from leaking from the nails ? (due to greater overlap of nails by the shingles)
Does any roofer ever remove the cellophane film covering the tar strip before nailing it down, not doing so prevents shingles from sticking to each other.
It doesnt matter as much as you would think, ive done roofing for 5 years now and hasve seen it done both ways while working with a handfuls of different crews and companys
You've already messed up. The drip edge of the rake or gable end should go over top of the felt so that any wind driven rain that got under the shingle would stay on top of the felt. The way you did it, the rain would go between the felt and the drip edge and right onto the osb and cause it to rot. The drip edge at the bottom or fascia is correct as the felt would go over top of it.
@@pjballs69, at the fascia (gutter) the drip edge goes under the felt so that any water that possibly got under the shingles higher up on the roof will run down the felt and into the gutter. If the drip edge is over top of the felt the water would be able to run under the drip edge and rot the edge of your sheathing. Along the rake edge the drip edge goes over the felt so that any rain that get blown under the shingles will go across the drip edge and onto the felt.
Are you guys located in Idaho.? Last time I checked Idaho gets snow and ice . There is a chart of the US that designates where the freeze line ends. If you're going to tell everyone how to install shingles then start with correct version . First run your ice shield or 30# felt 2-3" down over the gutterboard. This is your first protection against ice or water backup into the overhang of your soffit. If you want no icewater the ice shield is a must for any heated interior roof area. If its a non heated storage or garage then 30# felt is adequate. After you do that then install the drip edge and install it over the underlayments. If you get any water intrusion it will protect the roof deck. When you install the shingles make sure that you install all shingles with a half to three quarter inch overhang . This will insure that you dont get water wicking back under the shingle edge.
In the U.K. we don't have roofs like this that I'm aware of so this was super interesting to me. Thanks for the upload, explanations and close ups etc.
@@horizonpointu1023 the eves should also go over. Specially depending your are, leaving the drip edge under at the eves will just result in blow offs because the underlayment will tear at the starter strip.
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?

I been told to install the felt paper first and then the drip edge so wind do lift up the paper.

Your felt is suppose to go under the drip edge metal along the rake/gable ends. Only time the felt goes over the drip edge is at the eaves.
Exactly, thanks for saying this. They just made starter strip ineffective . And a strong wind will blow this off.
It can go over or either, personally going over is better.
@@odst2247 drip edge is over the Underlayment and gutter apron is under Underlayment.

this is what i was looking for. another Florida dude. i have to reroof my garage in Jax 🤙🏼🌴
Thanks, that was helpful. I’m going to build a shed and am a beginner.
what happened to the Ice Water membrane? other wise, quite instructive. Thanks.
Way to go Cody. 2.2 million views!
Thanks, I am glad I found this video.
You've already messed up. The drip edge of the rake or gable end should go over top of the felt so that any wind driven rain that got under the shingle would stay on top of the felt. The way you did it, the rain would go between the felt and the drip edge and right onto the osb and cause it to rot. The drip edge at the bottom or fascia is correct as the felt would go over top of it.
Correct, that's exactly what they did...
Drip edge on top of the felt was how I was taught as well.
Felt, drip edge, flashing cement, starter strip, shingles.
@@pjballs69, at the fascia (gutter) the drip edge goes under the felt so that any water that possibly got under the shingles higher up on the roof will run down the felt and into the gutter. If the drip edge is over top of the felt the water would be able to run under the drip edge and rot the edge of your sheathing. Along the rake edge the drip edge goes over the felt so that any rain that get blown under the shingles will go across the drip edge and onto the felt.
so when re shingling a roof would you take up all the drip edge. put yoir paper down and then re drip edge ?
Thank you for the content. I just bought a chicken coop for my ladies and I need to install shingles. I appreciate you. 🐓🌞🥰
Installing the ridge shingles ? cap is there any particular site to start with or use any sealer as caulking
Are you guys located in Idaho.? Last time I checked Idaho gets snow and ice . There is a chart of the US that designates where the freeze line ends. If you're going to tell everyone how to install shingles then start with correct version . First run your ice shield or 30# felt 2-3" down over the gutterboard. This is your first protection against ice or water backup into the overhang of your soffit. If you want no icewater the ice shield is a must for any heated interior roof area. If its a non heated storage or garage then 30# felt is adequate. After you do that then install the drip edge and install it over the underlayments. If you get any water intrusion it will protect the roof deck. When you install the shingles make sure that you install all shingles with a half to three quarter inch overhang . This will insure that you dont get water wicking back under the shingle edge.
Finally a roofer speaks up.
In the U.K. we don't have roofs like this that I'm aware of so this was super interesting to me. Thanks for the upload, explanations and close ups etc.
This is literally the most common roof type in the UK bro
So does it matter what directition you start laying them. In this video you started left to right with the demostration. Can I start right to left?.
Could you put an angle over the edge the shingles to keep the wind fro getting under the shingles?
Florida code here . Plus try doing that in all seasonal weather conditions and a bit higher from the ground.
Drop edge should go on after felt is down. Helps wind driven rain from getting to sheeting and possible leaks
Your correct but only on the rake end.
@@horizonpointu1023 the eves should also go over. Specially depending your are, leaving the drip edge under at the eves will just result in blow offs because the underlayment will tear at the starter strip.
On the ridge when you nail them and you cover them, what do you stick them to? This is a real estate agent asking for buyers.
Good tutorial, nice video
Welll done, young man. Your attention to detail is impeccable 👍
Wonderful video and job. Thanks for your time.
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?
Do you have any videos on roll top self adhere roofing?
I thought this was great. You really have to keep up!
Thats cool Hulk Hogan came by "5:54"
You all did a great job. Straight to the point. I’ll follow your tutorial. 👌🏾
sorry, after the last reuse single, how do you start a new single again?
Amazing video! Thank you😊
That was great. Learned a lot! Could you explain if all those steps are required steps? Example: Is felt required. Are plastic caps required,. etc.
It looks like the two top pieces that were used from bottom cuts are more than 6 inch spaced? No?
The last piece applied to the roof peak, how do you hide the nails?
I live in a mobile home! Roof is some kind of metal or aluminum idk but I have few leaks, can I put shingles on top of that kind of roof?
Thanks for the super speed option.
Around here the paper goes UNDER the drip edge at rake and over at eaves.
Dude!! Respect. thanks for the lesson.
