Want it done right do it yourself. I am old and I did mine in 2 weeks and it is done right! If a nail went too deep I sauced it. If it was too high I set it. Every single one. Do it yourself and save thousands. I saved about 6k. Worth it.
@@krehbein i did get rain. Twice. I bought a few pretty big tarps ahead of time just in case and I only did 1/2 of the roof at a time. I also did the hybrid underlayment and Ice and water as soon as I stripped it. I needed tarps at the peak as the underlayment could get wet and be okay. Also tarped over vent openings.
@@markemery7741 Interesting…. Did you use those round cap nails so rain wouldn’t leak through? Also, when you did 1/2, how did you divide it up, left/right or top bottom? I have an estimate of $8500 to resheath and new shingles for the front of my house, about 300sf. I can do it, just concerned about the weather aspect.
@@krehbein I did use the cap nails. I did one half the long way 54 feet x 15. With all the money I saved I was able to buy better quality materials and I still saved so much. You got this. If you strip it and get ice and water down and underlayment you will avoid the tarps. I did mine in the summer and it still rained on me twice
Im contractor me and my twin bro r the owners and the installers as well we have 2 somtimes 4 guys and we r up there making sure we r doing it right dnt trust ne body not even ur guys
Blame the manufacturers. Take a look at the BP Mystique 42 instructions for offsets and nailing pattern. They are telling you to drive the second nail away from the edge only 2.5 inches from the edge of the overlying shingle edge (using their 10.5 inch offset recommendation). The staples in the above video are conformant to these instructions. For the three tab shingles the four nail case keeps the nails about 6 inches from shingle edges and the six nail case keeps this separation by bunching the nails around the tab cutouts. The same bunching approach must be applied to architectural shingles.
You can hire a great company but you are at the mercy of the subcontractors they use. My boss recommended a company she used which worked great for her: done in 2 days, no leaks. My installation was slowed by a death in their family leaving them short. Closer to 5 days and I'm waiting for a good rain to see if they rushed it being shorthanded.

How did you account for possible rain?

Bp mystique r horrible
Looks like the roofing is about 20 -25 years old not 10
That’s what I thought too
That’s not a nail it’s a staple never use roofing staples.
I agree, Staples should not be used for roofing.

Can You speak more clearly?
