    We used to do that reversed sheet edge in Finland as well but now manufacturers have changed the instructions and instead you're to use a special edgestrip (which honestly looks like a tape roll of sheeting material), not sure why but I my guess would be that shingles won't last as well with ice and snow when right at the edge. Also the under rolls should go up and over the roof from both sides or use an extra roll for it, shingle toping alone over the crown is not considered a sufficent water barrier. Also the sheet metal edge plate should go under the shingles so installed first (ice again), on the sides it can be placed either way but I prefer the edge to be over the plate.

    A decade or so ago, a team of us re-roofed a VERY large roof spanning two trailers for a family during our Appalachian Service Project week. We partially sheathed the roof, adding the last few sheets remaining from the prior team's efforts, then shingled the entire roof (probably 2,000 sqft) all in a week. We actually worked so fast we ran the project out of materials. We did not have a nail gun. I was the only one who had studied the instruction book, so I was tasked with step flashing the brick chimney. To be honest, I did an awful job. At lunch one afternoon, I sat in a tree at the end of the roof and sited down the last few rows of shingles we had installed. Don't do that. Looked like a drunken sailor! I ended up suffering from tennis elbow from hammer use that week.
    But it was some of the most fun I've ever had!

    Love the snap off hook blades. Never seen those, and I'd always used (back when I was a teen and did roofing to pay for university) a solid utility knife and you need a screwdriver to change the hook blades.
    I don't remember ever putting a reverse shingle on the side. We only ever did that on the bottom course.
    Most shingles have a little slice on the top that you can use for positioning the next one when you start a row (flick it up to butt up against the cut tab.)

    Jeff question? I actually really like steel roofing. Why wouldn't you consider steel or do you not mind? I think its simple and less risk. And a lot more durable. A dabb of calke on the screws will save the rubber on the screws as long as it holds up. There are fewer fasteners. It holds up to heat better if painted white. Even the fasteners can be preserved with paint.
    Just need a solid arrangement here on that.
    Price or quality. Maybe it's just the installation that's a nightmare? I have a fairly simple roof.

    I would have let the first row overhang more than the 1/4th inch. When I was a roofer 20+ years ago, we typically used a 1" over hang. It helped get the rain away from the wood. I don't know about the architectural shingles, but with the 3 tab ones we used, there was a small cut along the top edge near either end that would help with the alignment, so that the tabs all lined up correctly as you went up the roof. As others have said, you need to chalkline in starting lines to keep things square as well. Your shed is small enough it would show too much, but on a large roof, getting off by a small amount can accumulate into a noticeable misalignment. Under 3/12 pitch, don't use shingles, water doesn't run off fast enough on that flat a roof so it's more likely to weep back under the shingles. We usually waited until a side was done to go back and trim the ends as well. At the peak you need to run shingles up until the tar line will be under the ridge cap, so that the edges of the cap will adhere. Nice looking shed.

    Curious, why not use Ice and Dam instead of just roofing paper. And, no drip edge? I know your doing this on the cheap. But, having a roof fail on any application sucks. Speaking from experience. I did my first roof on the cheap. Lucky for me in was on a 14 x 10 shed and the tear off and repair was painful and expensive.
    I live in MN and the climate is much like yours. I say spend a little more and have less to worry about in the future... and ice and dam paper lessens leaks if installed correctly. I would even put 2 roof vents on the back half not seen by the house. I am jealous of that nailer. Had to do mine by hand...
    Still nice work and Thank You :)

    24 mins in, when you come to a gable edge and you end up being short up to 3 inches, you can do what's called a push, if you follow a 5 5/8s stagger, you can cut a 3rd of your shingles off and use the two pieces to push your course off the edge. Thus not leaving you with a small inch and a half trip has no wind strength and is more of a potential problem.

    29.05 your rows look pretty good but your ridge cap might have benefitted from snapping a chalk line on front. Overall decent appearance. Shingles are clearly a budget brand but meeeh, it’s a shed

    I think you forgot your drip edge. Water will back under the sheeting and cause damage.

    Hey quick question. Have you ever used roof silicone paint? The brand "Marlin Coatings" specifically.
    I have a roof, it's up in age, and it's leaking everywhere all the sudden. The shingles are still good enough and still flexible, but the roof leaks. To replace everything seems too much work for no good reason. The shingles are good, they are already there, but they leak through the nails that hold them in place.
    My thoughts are to change the color of my roof from shingle black to silicone tan, and fix a butt load of problems in the process, starting with the leaks then ending with,,, well tan color I guess.
    Point is question is, have you any experience with this silicone paint?
    Cheers 🍻

    Traditionally you start from left to right. But , have seen it done right to left. Just saying; not finger pointing but I own my own Roofing and construction company. it works though. starter strips is now the way to start out with and a short piece to help offset the shingles.Sorry but I am picky - lol.Five nail is what we do here also. Felt paper is old school for sure. Synthetic is their new way - more expensive but really good.

    • @TheEricj1337

      left to right as in standing on the ground looking at the roof or standing on the roof and looking down at the ground? And also is there a specific reason for this? do the patterns come together better or something on specialty shingles?

    • @timrxn5414
      @timrxn5414 Рік тому

      Agreed. Took me a summer (part time) to reroof my house. I’m slow but that roof isn’t going to leak and nail placement was always in the nail strip, correct position. Way better than the “professional” installation I was replacing.

  • @kalebbillig3472
    @kalebbillig3472 10 місяців тому

    22:22 you should NOT nail within 6inches to the edge of the shingle, those are all potential leaks - anywhere two shingles have a butt joint, water WILL work its way into the crack and up under the shingles… if there’s a nail hole two close to that butt joint it can leak… if you absolutely have to put a nail there, use a tiny piece of ice and water barrier either under the nail or even over the nail to seal out water

    Old couch cushions! Take the foam pad out of an old couch. Our professional roof team uses cushions all day every day. They grip the roof, you can kneel or sit. Scoot them along without damaging the shingles.

    The pitch of the roof doesn't seem sufficient to use shingles. Perhaps a rubber membrane, metal, or torched roof would be better.

    Don't you have to take off the cellophane strips that cover the asphalt cement on the back of the shingles? You likely know better than I but I have seen them removed before. Just asking for reference. Not being a UA-cam "expert"

  • @Scorpio-me1028
    @Scorpio-me1028 11 місяців тому

    Mark my word, if they won’t deliver the shingles on the roof, get someone younger to carry them up. My husband used to carry a square on his shoulders and he was only in his early 50’s when shoulders were replaced , knees, hips , so take it easy now. You won’t be this age forever!
    I know this is a shed but on homes do u our metal under or over the valleys?
