Quick Tip - Shingle Trimming

This Video show a fast way to cut shingles at the gable end of your roof. Your cuts will always be straight and from below you will see a nice straight line. I use the pitch hopper to anchor my scribe shingle so it wont move.
If you have any questions on roof install methods leave a comment and we will try and get a video out to answer your question.

Yeah bro I like

[@schoenroofing]

Yea Buddy. See ya soon.

[@jaimebenitez3208]

I do the same! But I put 3 runs. It's easier. 4 makes you have to dig the blade deep on the last ones.

[@schoenroofing]

Hi Jaime. I know what you mean. Whatever works is the best way to do it. I will normally cut 5 runs at a time using the large olfa hook blade so it doesn’t have a problem with the depth.

[@jaimebenitez3208]

@@schoenroofing I used to have blades that were black, and came in a blue package. Had 3 slots on top to adjust blade for the knife. Could get the 4 or 5 runs easy with it. Havent found em. Been using husky blades. Break easy and not enough depth.

@@jaimebenitez3208 Im going to make a video with all the knives I use. Thanks for the Idea!

[@kriskrush3970]

isnt that called fraying the shingle by hanging it over the rack??? why wouldnt u just cut the proper piece ?????????
just curious

[@schoenroofing]

Hey Kris. You can certainly cut each shingle as you go. This is a much quicker method and having the straight edge ensures you have a clean line when looking from the ground up. Thanks for the question.

[@robdonna1000]

here's a pro tip: Put a factory end on the rake and stick a nail in it. Cut the inside end. Use tin snips.
If your cut ain't perfect it don't matter.
You're welcome.

[@schoenroofing]

Yes that’s one way to do it but it is much slower.

[@robdonna1000]

@@schoenroofing hacking away with a knife is no fun I hate that.
Quit doing that years ago.

[@howardmurphy2841]

I save factory edge and cut the left side and no rake shingle (soldier) needed

[@schoenroofing]

That’s a way to do it as well. I find it slower cutting every shingle that way.

@@schoenroofing I've tried it myself too, and if you happen to cut it too short, it looks messy
