Very informative. I appreciate the style of the videos and how well you explain, as I am planning to start roofing soon myself. Please continue to do these types of videos.
I was taught; Drip edge, ice and water (my area needs it), underlayment. You work from the bottom up to keep the ability to shed water. Underlayment overlaps the ice and water and ice and water overlaps drip edge so water doesn’t get caught up. I know others that do it differently. I’m not saying anyones wrong this is just how I was taught and the reason 🤙🏼
in florida it is very different, we use a lot of roof cement in the south, over all the drip and we have to in a lot more nails in our drip edge.. also out entire roofs are peel'n'stick
Drip edge goes on first and than ice and water so the water drips off into the eaves not into the drip edge getting into the eaves wood creating wood rot
this old house taught me that the drip edge has to be 1/2'' away from the wall to allow room for fascia and then still have space for water to run straight down the drip edge instead of connecting down to the fascia and rot.
We do ice and water over the gutter apron metal but not over the drip edge metal. Seems to be different preferences per crews. Nice work! Really enjoy the videos.
I was afraid of heights growing up. It’s just something you have to overcome but never get too comfortable with. Always be mindful of your surroundings.
@@Average_Roofer I agree but at 67 I don't think I'll be putting a whole lot into it. Thanks for the videos. I wish you were a whole lot closer. I don't know how it is up there but where I am at everyone is crazy busy so I think I will just put in my request and wait like everyone else. You really are a good teacher and I can understand what you say because you don't use a bunch of filler words.
Whacky tacks sucks and so dose using a nail gun but stinger would be best I think with caps or anything with caps but if u don’t have that guess a nail gun would be better then staples
I'm not a roofer but some roofers on youtube are now discovering that they should felt over the Ice shield because down the road when it comes time to change out the shingles they are stuck to the ice shield and it becomes a major job to remove them. Not sure if that's allowed by code. Have you run across this problem?
I'm glad I'm not the home owner watching this seems like every buddy always in a rush. Guess it don't matter I'm not even a roofer but short cutting anything usually not good. If Im wrong flow of water is a tricky thing to deal with it's movement flows where ever it wants too especially where paper meets wood. I've learned something so thanks for the video.
To subcontract in Ontario you need to register your business, have WSIB clearance certificate, and most of the time carry general liability insurance. Plus all employees must have working at heights certifications. I will do a video for you! 👍🏼
@@Average_Roofer ok thx, also wondering when starting a roofing business is all you need to register your business, get WSIB and have General liability insurance? Or is there more that you will need?
i love your videos, and watching you teach , these videos need to go super viral in my opinion,, so many whack ass roofers doing half ass jobs,, need to choose american companies,,,, anyways , thanks and keep em coming please
Drip edge before or after doesnt matter,coil nails are fine for the synthetic felt especially when shingling the same day. Only thing i seen wrong in this video is that bdr didnt do a champagne finish!
Same here, plus lowers the chance of hitting a nail when shingling, happens here and there and it's a pain in the ass when if happens cause it sometimes jams your gun or makes the nail go in crooked
I mean if it's all I had and the stapler was in the truck or something, I would do the same. Little area to paper in so you could start shingling and have it shingled within the hour
@@MiguelGarcia-zt3sp I would rather use a hammer tacker, staple on the top over lap a bunch, then every 4ft on the bottom overlap just to hold it down from the wind
Ice guard should be over top of your drip , to prevent any moisture from leaking into the drip and rotting your bottoms over the years . Also any ice buildup melting
Do you have a reason you dont just fold the drip edge around so that that the corners armt just 2 pieces of drip edge butted? Around these parts everyone cuts the bend at the bottom, cut the top where you nail then fold the piece that shows that way you cant see through the corners. But im not a roofer, i just did exteriors so i did a lot of soffit and facia and thats all i seen. Im getting ready to do my roof and wondering if there’s a specific reason you do it your way?
If you are going to install a gutter on the eave side it will get shoved under the drip edge and overhang the gable ends. If you miter and fold the drip edge around and up you wont be able to ....but then again i'm no roofer just a trim carpenter
Went on my first 7 12 pitch yesterday and my legs absolutely froze up...this may not be the job for me...roofers are definitely cut from a different cloth...maybe a video on tips to not be a pu**y on the roof?
You will get used to it brother just stick it out it is a very rewarding job in my opinion, I wasn't to keen on steep roofs at the start but I have 7 years now and some days we are hanging over the side of barns like Spiderman haha good luck man!
I did scaffolding for 5 yrs i just stopped this yr, when i started i was 280lbs and terrified of heights. Now im 165lbs and will do a handstand 10 lvls in the air😂

the age old argument drip edge first or underlayment first, the world may never know...

Drip edge, ice and water (my area needs it), underlayment. You work from the bottom up to keep the ability to shed water. Underlayment overlaps the ice and water and ice and water overlaps drip edge so water doesn’t get caught up.

Bottom drip should go on then over underlay on sides
Always great videos! So, the ice and weather shield goes only on the last part of the roof? Is not covering till the top? Thanks.
It ran short in this case. Normally you’d like to cover the entire deck. However it’s not the end of the world if the roof is shingles properly.
@@Average_Roofer , thank you very much!
in florida it is very different, we use a lot of roof cement in the south, over all the drip and we have to in a lot more nails in our drip edge.. also out entire roofs are peel'n'stick
Yeah for sure. It’s all based on local codes and Florida gets hurricanes. We do not 😂

this old house taught me that the drip edge has to be 1/2'' away from the wall to allow room for fascia and then still have space for water to run straight down the drip edge instead of connecting down to the fascia and rot.
Here in Canada most homes have aluminum fascia over the fascia board which protects it from rotting and water damage
Same here in PA small gap
Like your video. I watched others and they overhung starters on apron 3/4 inches and about 1/4 inch on drip edge.
..good video dilly...cut a book and run a few rows for the noobs.
Coming soon!
Is the 2x4 between ladder and roof osha requirement I don’t see many crews doing this
No, it’s just to protect the eavestrough from scratching and denting from the ladder
Wow talking about motion sickness
Good video, it was pretty windy during the past week in Ontario! Sudbury was awful
We do ice and water over the gutter apron metal but not over the drip edge metal. Seems to be different preferences per crews.
Nice work! Really enjoy the videos.
This is our local building code
I wish I could do that whole going up high thing. Just watching this video made my stomach churn every time you could look down and see the ground.

Short on your gables buddy,ya pretty average,,,but nice clean prep,,,recommend whacker tacker for paper,starter
I agree maybe just ocd but I don't like to see any ply wood

I highly recommend it. It’ll save money for the homeowner down the road!

Going fast does not equate to short cutting. It means after the thousandth time of doing it, there is no need to stop and think, you just move.
You had the gutter apron off & didn't wrap the ice shield into the gutter?? #AverageRoofer
Not code here
Do you need to own a companie to be able to subcontract? Also would you be able to explain subcontracting in more detail?

@@devinmalison that’s basically it for Ontario. Some provinces and states require licensing or permits but not here.
@@Average_Roofer what type of business license do you have?
Cool video Dyl👍

Using MFM roll starter is easier
If there’s anything you could’ve done in this video differently it would be to describe all the words.
So is it possible to use the same nail gun for the decking, underlayment, and shingles? Or do I need something different for the decking?
Is that green hose the new fleweel one off amazon? Also why bostitch
New primelinetools hose.
Drip edge before or after doesnt matter,coil nails are fine for the synthetic felt especially when shingling the same day. Only thing i seen wrong in this video is that bdr didnt do a champagne finish!
I’d use hammer tacker staples on the felt instead of putting all those nails through the sheething

i cringed when he nailed it with the gun

@@Josh-ww5kz in that situation yes

Ice guard should be over top of your drip , to prevent any moisture from leaking into the drip and rotting your bottoms over the years . Also any ice buildup melting
If u are installing designer just use a 6er for the join on bottom edge no starters needed
Also use a hammertacker not a nail gun lol
