New construction usually ranch or split level. We backed the truck up to the closest gutterboard and we would felt the roof with 15# to start then shingle up 6'. From there we would stand on the shingle pallet and toss bundles to the edge stacking up 6 bundles at a time. From there we would continue shingling. Best day ever was 8 hours and 17 2/3 square hand nailing 3-tab.

+John D One A Square is 100 Hundred Square Feet. One Bundle is usually 1/3 of a Square. Therefore 33-1/3 Square Feet in a Bundle.

[@gerrittklashorst7306]

No sir a square is a section that is 10'x10' or 3 sheets of plywood. You ideally want to place one nail at both ends no more then an inch from the end of the shingle and the rest of the nails should be dispersed somewhat evenly between the end two. It really depends on the roof pitch where in the nail zone you put the nails. For a steep roof over a 5-12 you can nail right on the line but with a 4-12 or lower pitch you need to nail just a little bit higher so you don't have water bleeding back on the nail heads. Go online and find instructions from elk, iko, Owens corning or gaf cause they are some of the biggest material manufactures in the us and have plenty of installation instructions for you

[@ChuckLetson]

Except these shingles require 5 nails spaced evenly. Not 3 on one half of the shingle and hopefully one on the other end. Most people use the stripper for shake nailing. After a few years he will get the hang of pulling 5 at a time. I do like the set+1 stroke method over the 2 stroke hand nailing method. One note though, go backs cost money. Nail it all while you're there. If you can't then you don't have a real rhythm.

Thurston Crawford when you've been doing it for a decade or two it's just another house. Sorry to say. It's done right and that's all that matters. Also most people DO want it done fast because they don't want their home to be a construction site for more than a day or two. Not to mention that with years of experience shinglers tend to go at their own pace, which is generally "fast". There's a difference between fast and sloppy/indifferent. If I give you a 10 year warranty on labour and whatever manufacturer warranty on material there's not much to whine about. Im sure you don't complain when your car needs repairs and it's done in a timely fashion. Same thing.

Your nuts. A bundle of arch is 32 shingles and a square is 3 to 4 bundles depending on the brand. To nail 10 square in an hour he would have to nail 960 shingles in an hour with 4 to 6 nails per shingle unless he owns a truck size compressor and a gun that was totally perfect that is a flat out lie. It takes time to cut bundles and lay them out then every time you run out of nails that takes more time, you might have buckles in the felt which is more time then roofs have pipes, vents, sky lights, a.c. exhaust vents and fire places which all take time and you can't rush or they won't look right and will leak like crazy. You might have thought you were adding to this conversation but clearly you know nothing and felt it was needed to add your opinion with absolutely no knowledge of the subject

[@steveash331]

Shane Mendez 30 bundles in 1 hour. That's like doing a twenty sq. House in 2 hours I call bs

[@nathandeam1293]

Shane Mendez bullshit

[@ishkabibble2204]

old school. very nice.

[@TripleAstyle1]

Person getting new roof: I will take the Hare. Thanks.

[@Coast_life]

get a fucking gun and be faster. absolutely no point in manual nailing. it's 2016...

[@mattrohan7274]

youd need multiple compressors and guns for this huge crew lines tangle reloading gun maybe new build and doesnt have power yet so add a genny to run the compressors hammers and kneepads are cheap most likely why

[@nealdavis7807]

Vance S Some roofers over drive the nails with a gun and have poor nail placement. There are advantages to each hand nailed or gun nailed.

[@rtmccormick1]

Almost every roofing crew I've seen runs gas engine powered compressors. More power and no risk of breaking circuits. You could cut the required crew per job in half, spread them out over multiple concurrent jobs, and probably do 4 times the jobs per day. There is no advantage to hand nailing that outweighs the benefits of using pneumatic nailers.

[@drock5108]

i agree with using nail guns. if u knpw anything about nail guns u wpuld know they can be adjusted so they deliver just enough power. . no advantages to hand nailing. rookies. hand nailing is for cavemen. takes double the time.

[@mr.wizeguy8995]

There is also gas operated roofing guns no need for compressor at all.

[@9999homes]

sure pretty fast nailer puts 4th nail in later but horrible nail pattern left half of shingle gets 3 nails right half of shingle gets1 shitty

[@larrycrookshanks1646]

17 2/3sq. Hand nailed. Installed the 15# felt by myself. Tossed the shingles up off the back of the stake body truck by myself. 4 sided hip roof house. Ridge caps. 8am-4:30. 1974

[@christaylor5659]

he's fast for sure

[@yanfoulem7204]

Like 9999homes said... shitty nail pattern , hes fast tho but eh I nail 6 perfect nails in every shingle I gun and im way faster than him... im no butcher like he , not only to make money but to give people a good roof for what they paid for!! Make him roof here where im from and all his shingle would fly away like crazy ,

[@627alldaymonte3]

wondeer how many times he smashed hes finger just buy a Nail gun

[@SchMasHed]

Thats why his fingers are upside down holding the nail. Doesn't hurt if you miss setting the nail. Plus gloves.

[@howardmurphy2841]

Nail gun nails r way better way harder to strip than hand nails

[@solidmop2122]

Your good !! Awesome iob

[@theofficialryang]

I'm 17, and my step dad is the owner of a roofing company. I'm still learning the ropes a bit except I am a sales rep rather than actually being on the roof. Watching videos like this is very informational. However I've only seen the gun installment rather than manual with the good ol' nail and hammer!

[@randomusername7096]

Yo are still in the roofing business?

[@san379]

NOT LINED UP.. ALL CROOKED.. NO CARE..JUST SLAP THEM DOWN.. ALL BAD..

[@tookoo3491]

leaky roof in 3 - 4 years... nails are to close to the edge... fast but slow is better as long as u do the job right...

[@themoocher3772]

TOO KOO I agree quality not quantity

[@juiceboxx714]

I know nothing about roofing, but I keep coming back to roofing videos for the comments

[@clemsontigz1]

It ain't hard to be fast when ya on that cold .. 😂🤣🤣

[@JoseSanchez-ev2ez]

come on buddy im a roofer im way faster than that.. u never seen mexicans roof uh buddy u have no idea... hes fast but not like u make it seen.. go out and watch some mexican roofers work ull be surprise buddy....

[@titsrule]

lolz...u know how many Mexicans roofing I have to go behind and fix all the fuck ups bro..it's about quality not speed....but Mexicans will definitely get the job done fast...fosho

[@MrPopobear]

Lol typical! Not about how fast someone does a roof I over see a roofing company and I'll be the first to tell you about 80% of the so fast Spanish roofing crews we hire try and blow it out and always mess shit up, leave trash everywhere, use old flashing filled with holes, and are sloppy as hell! The moral of this story usually the faster the crew the equals shitty quality work, that don't get covered by shingle manufacturing company, and ends up leaking or looking like shit.

[@nealdavis7807]

Jose Sanchez I am a white guy who learned to roof in Texas. I used to tear off roofs right with the Mexicans and I was faster than they were. I used to carry up my own shingles from the road and lay them with a hammer and nails. I was so fast that when I moved to Florida some guys watching me asked me to join their crew. They had guns and I hand nailed and we split the money even. I used to do all the valleys and cut up work while they did the field. I must say though some of the best roofers I ever saw were Mexican. They used to say Aztec Power and on average worth 2 of any other worker.

[@nitrochaney1026]

+MrPopobear you have the wrong crews then

[@jinglebells3323]

iv never seen anyone do this quicker by hand

[@boxingproff7627]

I don't know anything about roofing. However, I do appreciate the man's skill.

[@seth3054]

construction workers deserve more respect than what they get, breaking their back all day!!

[@drosky310]

thank you mexican for making me look good , im not as good on roofs , but I build most of the U.S WALMARTS in 2000 to 2008 steal iron erector ,
