In this episode of building the best house, we go thru the full metal roof installation. This includes all the details I thought necessary to understand the process. I show metal roofing layout, trim details, Full Metal Valley Install, and ridge cap.

The biggest mistake you made on that job is that you ran your underlayment with vertical seams. You have to be smarter than water my friend!!!! It always runs down. Seams are always to be run horizontally. Just a tip from a vet at this biz.

As a former aircraft mechanic in the USAF we had a saying we lived by, "attention to detail". I love watching the attention to detail you give to your profession. I hope I can find a builder like you if I have a house built. I love the post frame concept.

Why all the ice and water shield? What is wrong with synthetic felt? Seems like overkill. I thought metal roofs were supposed to be superior. Then the ice and water shield is installed vertically. Why? Also many install the drip over the ice and water in case there is ice damming. I’d just like to know your reasoning. Everybody does things differently.

Please at least your trying to get square

tell me your not a roofer without telling me your not a roofer lol.

Water protection sheets have to be installed in from one side of the roof to the other and not from the top of the roof to the bottom like in this presentation. Because if the metal sheeting starts leaks water it flows down the roof but not necessary in strait a line which means it could go under the water barrier sheet. If the water barrier sheets are along the whole roof side, each sheet overlapping the bottom sheet all the way to the top, there is no way the water can run under the water barrier. You may say, that all the sheets are completely sealed with adhesive but this adhesive can be weekend by moisture and eventually degrade.

The ice water roll NOT installed how is post to be.

Another awesome video thank you Kyle! However I was taught to put ice and water horizontally but you installed it vertically. Please share spec on ice and water that says you can run it vertical… put it horizontal so water can roll off and not under?

[@andrewmarkham8616]

I mean ive been roofing a long time, and never once have i seen verticle underlayment. I actually thought it was a joke but i guess not

[@Will-No-Co]

You put the water & ice horizontally on the valley side and from the opposite side you folded over the peak. Do you cut out the peak later for vent? Could you elaborate on the water & ice layout? Thanks

I am fully impressed! It’s just a complete

If you don’t use special larger shank screws going directly into plywood your screws will eventually back out. We put 1x4’s down whenever we go on top of OSB to give the screws some solid wood to hold on to.

I'm sure y'all may have tried it but in case you haven't thought about it, you should run the long side of a ratchet strap through the core of those ice and water rolls and make Greg a loop so he doesn't have to wingspan those rolls to unroll them. I used the ratchet strap through the core of my house wrap rolls to hang the roll on one corner of my house so I could pull out the whole side and staple back to the roll. Worked great and made it easy for 1 person to manage the roll and keep it straight

[@didineparetto9473]

what I like in this realization is the sense of detail so that no drop of water passes.

We always run underlayment horizontal, and there are quick and easy ways to get your angle, but that works ok too,
