Your awesome man keep up the good work. Ive been in the construction field over 15 years and mostly self taught. Why cant i ever work for someone like you who could teach me things i dont know!! Great work

[@horstcarpentry]

Thanks a lot. Sounds like your already doing great. We both went through the worst back in 09'. If you survived that.... You'll survive anything.

I've been doing construction professionally for 13 years. But when it comes to these larger projects probably only 6 - 7 years.

Great video! Do you have a video showing how you tie in the new roofing shingles in the valley to the existing roofing shingles or do you know where a good video may be on KZbin? Can I ask why you didn't remove the roofing shingles underneath the gable roof addition? I thought that you are always supposed to remove them. Thanks.

[@horstcarpentry]

I'm sorry, but, this is the only video where I weave into an existing roof. I don't have any video that I can recommend to you. You could remove the shingles underneath the over framing where the new roof ties into the existing house, but, you do not need to remove them for it to be built. Anyone that I've worked with in the past has chosen not to remove them, so, it is normal to me. Thanks for the comment and I'm glad you enjoyed the job

[@timjones8010]

i stumbled upon your video looking for roof framing tips, and i am amazed at how well you are doing with your project, i am twice your age and have been around construction my entire adult life and learned several things watching you, you are probably finished by now and you must be proud, if not you should be! thanks for the clear video and the great tips, they will help me for years to come, Tim

[@horstcarpentry]

Tim, Thank you for that comment. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and really appreciate the kind words. PS. I'm still working on this job. These clips are delayed though....

[@weaponizedmemes3461]

Thank you for filming and discussing this. I am going to build a porch roof and want to tie it into the house roof this way.

[@horstcarpentry]

Youre welcome and thanks for watching

[@wills2262]

Same here. Between his screened porch vids and this one it really helps come up with concepts on how to make it happen.

[@horstcarpentry]

Thanks and I'm glad that you enjoyed watching the job

[@vinopit]

how do you measure this extremely sharp egdes of rafters that are leaning to roof?

[@horstcarpentry]

The top cut on the rafter is a plumb cut that is the pitch of the new roof. The bottom cut should be 45 degrees with a bevel that is the pitch of the original roof. I hope that is helpful for you. I know a lot of people have questions about this portion of the build.

[@derpherpp]

i just stumped across your video because I'm always curious and guess which house has build an addition and trying to hide it by using this technique which now i know its called a "tie in". my roof is quite low, and i want to tie in a car port with a flat roof. do u know how does one acquire ideas or skills to know how to tie in a roof the right ways. btw i've build my own shed and tare off and reroof my roof before and this is the first time i get to see up close how its done i'm surprised that its not required to cut off all the shingles where the tie in take place which make the job easier and i don't have to rush because weather.

[@horstcarpentry]

Some people do remove the existing roofing, but, it is not required. Framers call this overframing. Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the clip.

[@tungsten06gt23]

I have a side porch that I'm going to rebuild and turn into a dining room. This helped me vision that better. Out of curiosity though... would it be better to pull the shingles off of the existing roof where the new roof is joined or does that matter at all?

[@horstcarpentry]

Whenever I over frame like this I do not remove the shingles. You certainly could remove them if you wish, but, it is not necessary. You will want to work quickly to paper and shingle the roof. Unless you're able to tarp the entire area water entry will be a problem until you're completely finished. Thanks for the comment

[@josued1313]

How did you do those long cuts for the valley??

[@horstcarpentry]

It's the remainder of the roof angle cut from the ridge taken from 90 degrees. Cut that on the other end of your rafter and pitch your saw for the existing roof pitch angle. For example if your new roof pitch angle is 18 degree then cut a 72 degree angle on the rafter end.

[@gradyfarmer1255]

Nice work could you make a video on the angles cuts like how to find them. 🤷🏾‍♂️😁

[@horstcarpentry]

Do you need help with the rafters or the boards that I install on the roof surface? Let me know and I can help you out. But, I will try and remember in the future to make a video on the details

[@gradyfarmer1255]

@@horstcarpentry how to figure the angles for a roof addition the roof cut on the raptures

[@horstcarpentry]

Whatever the roof angle is at the top of the rafter take that away from 90 and that is the angle cut of the roof deck end. So, 20 deg cut at top should be 70 deg long angle at the bottom, but, it need to be cut with the existing roof angle bevel cut. It is a difficult thing to describe. It feels easier to do it with someone and then it'll all click. Hope that helps some.

When installing roof sheathing do u start from bottom or top?

I start from the bottom and focus on squaring up the roof as I work my way up the roof. Thanks for watching and communicating

[@Eastbaypisces]

@@horstcarpentry thanks what about how u lay them out, I heard u are supposed to stagger them??

[@horstcarpentry]

Yes that is true. I stagger starting with the second row and offset by roughly 4ft.

[@kellywhite9278]

So you're telling me you can cut those angles on them rafters without being a math professor? There might be a chance for me.
