Actual career roofer 6 years. just a few things, great video thought it was very informative and great for DIYers definitely if you’re brave enough to do you’re own dang roof, but couple of minor things I noticed. Wouldn’t call them errors just this is my career 4 tab asphalt shingles and I’ve spent many a year on the roof. first few minutes right away the drip edge (metal flashing he installed) should be an 1/8th to 1/4 inch out from the plywood on the bottom to allow the water to have more distance when going down the roof maybe to feed into a gutter or at least away from your ply wood as sometimes the ice and water won’t seal perfectly and you have that room for error. After that the ice and water, installation was good. I do recommend depending on the slope securing the underlay alittle more with more staples or ideally nails from your gun if you intend to stand on it when you cut your ice and water back you lost me, you did overlap your paper but that seems to be about a 4 inch overlap which if you’re not using the adhesive on the top of the ice and water paper which is alittle faster to stick does make me nervous. I’d leave the ice and water paper at least a couple feet in width and then do my paper over that not worrying about the minimal size difference as the shingles will cover that so it’s unnoticeable assuming your underlay isn’t full of bubbles. Paper was good, again you’re making me nervous standing on it with so few staples but it’s on the side of a house and only a few feet up so 🧘🏻 I’m calm. Appreciate that you went over the ridge with your paper, seriously so good🤣 Did you just say you fired a guy for smacking his hand with the staple tacker??? I’ve got over half a decade of just straight roofing nothing else and I do that at least once every few weeks. Apprentices will do that a few times a day🤣 hard core man. The side flashing is interesting but I would have used the same piece as the drip edge and wrapped the corners at a 45 because if you don’t caulk that at the end of the video your plywood’s gonna get hit What are you doing with that starter??? Are you going to cut a little 2 inch strip of starter for the sides?? Why make it more difficult on yourself there? Good video. Works well for your first roof ever

First squish the end that goes over a bit (all roofers know this) 2nd bend the corner with the kick out a little extra with your index and thumb kinda like you wanna make a triangle bend mark. More than half the time the overlaps come out beautiful you can't even see them

The most professional way and best imo is bending the corner as 1 piece wrapping from eave to rake. It’s a tricky cut but looks great and doesn’t leave a seam on the corners.
@runiniscrazy8 ай бұрын
@@bigthunder7002I agree this looks most profesional and nice from the ground the problem primarily occurs when you install gutters on that roof. You want the gutter to go out past the edge of the shingle on the rake because there's more surface area for water to cling to so it has a stream that comes off the corner of the shingle at the rake/eave. So with the wrapped corner you have to hang gutter below drip edge, notch the back of the gutter to accept the drip, or cut the drip to accept the gutter. You could also just have the gutter stop at the drip. But I can tell you from experience that little stream that comes off the corner will dig a hole in the landscaping.

Code here calls for everything opposite of what your doing too lol

@NWIVeteranConstruction2 жыл бұрын
Can't do that! This is a very common comment but the thing about the gutter is it goes out past the drip edge. All gutters extend about an inch past the edge of fascia. What you do is wrap the fascia, not the drip edge or gutter apron. That protects the wooden sub fascia. See my most recent video on fascia, it explains it all. Anybody who does that has a gutter that is too short, or the gutter guy cut that fascia and did it the right way

Two reasons why you don’t want “nice and tight” on the drip edge: Firstly, the gutter guys that come behind you will hate that you didn’t leave them room between the fascia and the drip edge. Secondly, assuming a very straight edge, “nice and tight” isn’t as dreadful as I made it out above, but my eave-edge isn’t straight, and I’ll bet most others’ isn’t either. And if you try tight along the front, the top of the metal is going to buckle and wave. So leave about 1/2” gap and you’ll make everyone happy.

Could explain why you put the drip tight against fascia or as tight as you can just so can explain to my boss my we need to stop overhanging it an inch or something. We only do it all because a eavestrouph guy gave him shit for going flush even though I was taught to install drip tight and have found his way makes hard to properly install starters

Yea that's just crazy. Only thing I can think of is gutters are terrible going into drip edge. You have to use gutter apron on the eaves. It has a bend in it that allows the gutter to go up nicely unlike drip edge. And I think it's self explanatory wit drip goes tight to the sides

Also, maybe the eave guy was replacing the facia boards and wanted room to work on that specific job? Definitely goes flush with facia.
