After putting the tar over the last end cap's nails, push some of the loose agragate from the bags the shngles came in, into the tar - like magic, tar blatches disapear! Now, the roof is done!
People who do the drip edges wrong do NOT understand gravity! EXCELLENT DETAILS that a lot of roofing videos do not show! Thank you for the vid! Subcribed!
Great tip on leaving shingles diagonally for safety. I would have never thought of that, but it makes perfect sense.
Thanks for taking the time to put this video together, I am installing shingles on log cabin and needed some help, your video has made it all very easy
Reaaally loved the safety hint on the diagonal shingles when not nailed ! I always use safety harness but got sloppy one day placing loose shingles on the roof…veeery scary near miss with sliding on the roof, hammer flying, a big scream and wife screaming too ! Keep it up
Thank you for the first row of shingles....was what I was trying to recall
No, Sir! We appreciate your time and knowledge shared with us! Thank you!
Thanks so much this is exactly what I was looking for!
100% agree with the drip edge , except I apply a thin tar on it so the tar paper sticks and can’t pick up in high wind. The shingles should not be used for your starter strip, because the tar strip on the first Rowe can’t stick to a pile of sand properly. Spend a little extra and use starter strips.
Awesome tips!!!!! Great video?!!!!
Thank you!!!🤙🏼💪🏼
Really well done. Thank you.
Nice! Very clear. Thanks much!
thank you for sharing this video, it's the best💪👌👌👌
Thumb tabbing always worked well with them
Good Detailed Explanation
i am Building my 1st SHED 12x10 - 4/12 Gabel with GAF Starter Strip , Blue Felt Roll , 6x6 Ceder Posts , 2x6 Rafters and a 2x8 Ridge beam and 2x8 Facia Board , THICK Concrete PAD with Lots of REBAR . 16x14 pad about 2 ft THICK
Awesome 👍👍👍thanks for video 👍
I learn it so well . Thanks ∞❤ ly
Three tab shingles are a totally different install than architect shingles - nailing pattern is crucial. The underlayment should be under the dripedge on the rake and over the dripedge on the eaves. Spend the extra on starter strip also I don’t use felt paper, deck armor or tiger paw come in 10 sq rolls and has numerous advantages over felt paper…
All metal flashing should be on top of underlayment. All metal will condensate with temperatures change.
Awesome jobs 👌.
Good beginner video. 1 suggestion. Cut the handle of the hammer off since you don’t use it. It might help you out. 😂😂😂
Good vid.
Thanks for the vid pal,
God bless
Muy buen consejo
Nice video
For the person whos never done this, dont EVER flush the starters n shingles with the drip drop them a quarter inch past the drip youre welcome
The drip drop? Been roofing over 15 years. Never heard the term drip drop used for any material. Usually when we talk about water falling. That term comes up.
@@jaimebenitez3208 - A period or at least a comma was missing between the words “drip” and “drop”.
Facts
Gracias!!!!
THANKS FOR YOU TIME
👍
How much mold and rust you got in there with no venting?
2:50 Putting upside-down instead of using a starter will not provide the tar/adhesive near the bottom of the first row.
Nice job👍
That drip edge wasnt installed properly it will leak and allow water underneath
"100% NOT a good job " haha, I spit out my coffee when I saw that. I'm here to learn how to roof my garage (first time I've roofed ) and other videos don't show this method. - I'm glad I didn't make these mistakes.
There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t learn something new. Just curious what parts of the method looked incorrect. Appreciate your time in advance, thanks
@@livefree6878 for starters you should have did the underlayment before the drip edge, and use starter strips instead of backwards shingles to start at the bottom of the roof
@@livefree6878 no over hang on the gables or the eaves, you should of used capping nails for the bend where it went from steep too walkable, cleary the did not sit down properly, I guarantee the eave first foot of osb is most likely rotted by now, water comes off a roof then drips off the shingle and back up and then drips off again, you did not chaulk your cap and it is off, it is suppose too be 50/50 on the roof, im a professional roofer, been roofing for 15 years and have been doing my own buissness for 12, you saved your self 250 dollars in labour but if a professional bidded on that job and added no over hang too eaves or gable it would be hard too collect the check for the 2 hours of work we did.
@@RON_FBG you always do the eave drip edge first and then paper and then side gable drip, also using 3 tab for starter upside is ok, but if you do you should black jack your eave and gables
I can't believe how a person makes a video when they don't have the slightest idea of what they are doing, incredible
Was a good try anyway. The installation instructions are on the package... drip edge needs to be spaced out ~1/2", drip edge on rake should be on top of the tar paper, shingles need to overhang drip edge by ~1/2", nails should be BELOW the adhesive strip.

@tankanhamen: Thank you for your reply. I am tired of how to videos that are full of mistakes.
Yes lol I noticed that right away, Got have a hang over the drip edge
Best explain how to install shingles video.
Now don't that beat all, roofing with a claw 🔨.
Most videos show the paper going under the side drip edges and over the bottom drip edge.
yup
Are these the hot shingles in my area I see on the web
You have to give it a overhang on the bottom at least
USE STARTER SHINGLES , THEY HELP FROM WIND DAMAFE A LOT BETTER AND COVER 50 % MORE,
Should actually have a overhang on the eaves and rakes, otherwise water will just wick underneath, probably wont actually leak because of that because of the type of drip edge used but still a possibility. especially with 3 tabs, you dont want to use the same 3 tab shingle for a starter because 3 tabs dont hav a tar strip on the tab part. so nothing will be holding the bottom half down from the wind at the eaves. easy fix is just to use your hook blade and cut just below the tar strip and use that as a starter. shingles arent meant to be bent like that at the transition, if its overhanged too much it will bend over and ruin the shignle at the bend allowing for rain to eventually get through it as it weathers.
So many comments on how NOT to shingle a roof. Please all those suggesting it's incorrect, post a link to YOUR video and showing the correct method.
I will miss them though
Some positive comments and some negative comments, im not even going to try to replace my garage roof, im just gonna pay some roofers 5 G's to do the work and pray it holds.
If you drift it will leak, if you do any thing wrong it will leak
It will always leak.
Its leaking before this video was over.
Don't use an upside down shingle, just get a starter strip and do it correctly!
I thought u cut the starter shingles in to
For the record, you don't want to nail THROUGH the tar strip. You want to nail BETWEEN the tar strip and the top of the notch.
Actually, YES, you do want to nail through the tar strip to ensure the strip maintains adherence for wind load.
@@theamerican4609 Not only is there not one single shingle manufacturer out there that suggests that, every contractor I know says no as well.
@@nitrojunkie22 What is the reason you would not nail there? You do so to help keep it glued down to account for wind lift.
@@theamerican4609 The main reason is, the tar strips are designed to heat up and adhere to the shingle above it, creating a water-tight seal between the shingle and the ones above it, and bonding each shingle to the other. If you live in an area prone to high winds, then you would use 6 nails per shingle, with one nail on either side of the notches. Also, IF you wind up with roof damage, either by water, high winds, what have you, and you install the nails through the tar strip, you negate any warranty.
@@nitrojunkie22 That little strip doesn't create a water tight seal! Its job is nothing more than to keep the shingle down. There is nothing in a roof that is considered "water-tight" unless perhaps if you decide to silicone between the plywood sheathing....its all about moving the water over multiple layers to cascade down.
This guy using 3 tabs in 2019.. no overhangs on the gable or bottoms. drip was installed poorly. no ventilation. this roof is destined to leak.
I had to laugh at 7:24 when he completely missed the nail...sorry :)
not sure using roofing nails would be my first option for laying the paper.. the special nails are much better in my opinion..
I installed my shingles using this method and my 10x12 shed was ruined by leaks within 9 months.
… wanna give us some more detail? Sounds, by this comment alone, like this was a you error rather than a faulty method
If you can't send that nail home in 2 hits your life would be hell over here
The nails need to go a bit over the tar. So when it seals, the nail isn't under the tar strip.
It's the same with architectural shingles. There's a white line. That's the tar line. Some people say nail there cause it's a double. Don't nail there. You have about an inch above that line to nail. Anything on that line, or under can start a slow leak over time.
But who am I to say anything. If you like what you've done. Good shit.
Hi I have just one question,can staples be used to lay the tar paper instead roofing nails?thanks,you doing very good job and well in details,this’ll help a lot of people completely their dream,thanks again.
Yes they can, but don't do it, roofing nails are far superior
It really depends, if your using a hammer and nails or a air gun and coil nails, tar paper is best too use staples for bigger jobs, using hammer and nails would take a long time, using a compressor and gun has alot of impact you usually drive the nail in way too far but if you turn the gun down you drive the nail in not enough, now days we use a product called synthetic paper, it is made out of plastic and cannot rip with your hands it is far more superior then tar paper and can be installed with a stapler or gun
Sounds like you got your training from either Home Depot or a Lowe's shingle installation class... which will work for a tool shed but not on a house
This will def work on a house😂
Same method will work beautifully on a house or big gazebo. I am currently doing a 30’ x 40’ azumaya ( my first and maybe my last!) and find all this very good. Thanks for sharing, much blessings
One thing I've noticed is that the different videos disagree as to whether to nail through the tar strip.
You should nail through the tar strip to maintain adherence for wind load.
every video or instructions on this contradicts the other.... i think i will just plaster my roof with mastic and stick the bloody things on ,,,,,,,, bloody felt and bitumen always leaks and weathers best thing for a shed it a tin roof
Nice video however 3 tabs are on way out lol
Porque no se los ponen en el lomo como lo hacemos los hispanos😎😅
If you don’t give a thumbs up to this video, “It will leak!”
How a plumbus’s is made lol
Chakline🤔not sure this is normal😂. No vents🤣. Nail bottom on starter not in nail pattern(high) wind damage. See
Metal goes up rakes after prep is done, and over on the bottom, and why are you using 2 and 3 inch pieces of drip edge not a good idea, have to keep editing this gets worse and worse your starting your liners with keys lined up with your starting shingle keys water waiting to go through, another tip for you buddy will help with those hip transitions shingle up to it use a piece of drip edge, as if you were starting the eave of a house, and use it as your starting point for the top half of the transition.
You don’t nail on the Adhesive , nail above it !
Tar paper goes under the rake drip edge; shingles should not be flush with drip edge;
A bit of this is off
You should try reading the instructions on the package first....
I would not follow any advice given in this video
HACK ALERT 🚨 . On the drip edge eve you cut a tab to fold over protecting the plywood then cut the other piece coming off the rake to fit well and look nice . Second do not use TAR PAPER FOR SHINGLES , 3rd YOU NEVER lay a shingle upside down to act as a starter shingle , embarrassing
LoL
There are so many things wrong here
Step 1: Don't use 3 tab
Step 2: Buy a real hammer
This is not a good video... way to many details left out watch more and learn more
100% not good job
So many things done wrong also get a new hammer that's for girl use on the inside of the house maybe just go get a roofing nail
your starter row installation advice is atrocious and shows that you have no clue
Seemed legit
Everything is wrong
Wrong!
So much wrong with this video!
You are not a roofer. Stop making videos you don't know what you're doing.
