Thank you for all the tips and little added fyi's from someone with experience and knowledge to help ensure quality and prevent mistakes. There isn't room for error when it comes to the roof or you risk the integrity of your entire project and alot of expensive repairs later on. I'm a single Mom raising 3 boys and I get alot of shit sometimes about some of the projects I do, until they see how well it turns out. I couldn't pull it off sometimes without the help of guys like you sharing your knowledge and skills. It is so very appreciated! Xo Have a wonderful day! Thanks again!

    @cynthiaayers7696 3 роки тому +5

    A better way is to divide your shingle is by six. And a better wait to cut your shingles is with an old set of tin snips. And when it comes to your overhang on the other end of the roof, used the Snips to scratch a line from underneath matching your rake overhang. Doing this saves scarring your knuckles and a straighter cut.
    I told my husband he should be teaching roofing and gutter installation, he's been doing this for over 60 years and when gutters were still wood. He used to make his own Cedar Shakes.

    They nailed too high so didn’t hit any of the lower portion of the shingles.
    When nailing the top only like that the only thing holding the bottoms together is the tar.
    When that’s hanging on a near vertical wall, they will slide and fall down. They were all over the guys balcony and porch area……
