How about a 90° inside corner? Enclosed porch added on to a mobile home. I understand the gable and transition piece but the inside corners got me stumped.

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

🌿? 😭

[@johnwall7306]

I live in Florida 20 plus yes now. Clean roofs for a living now but use to shingle roofs up north. I knew how to corner drip edge from my roofer days but I have not seen a single roof in this state with proper drip edge corners. Frustrating to me

[@iceman1947]

Great video. Thanks.

[@debbieshugart8666]

How do you join drip edge corners? I’m not talking about folding at the edges. I’m talking about two separate pieces. Mine have gaps. This caused water to go behind the gutter and rot part of the fascia. I took the gutters down to paint the fascia and that’s when I discovered the rotten wood. I knew nothing about drip edges until I researched how it happened. We had a new roof put on 4 years ago. Very disappointed in some of their work. I guess they knew most people don’t know the components to watch out for when “professionals” are doing the work. Thank you for helping educate homeowners.

Can you do various samples of drip edge doing the angle cut?

[@bagseed6297]

Is that t drip edge or D style drip..?.. And do you bend them the same way?

[@Brandon-no3vc]

You should do every kind of drip edge cut and install that there is

[@soulnishka4620]

Dylan, can you advise on removing the goo-tar stuff that has builtup on a roof around the vents and flashing areas? It looks really messy and cant be very affective. Appears to be gobbed on by previous owner it maybe this is normal? I would am thinking to cut it off with exacto knife, clean the area (with what) then reapply with less water holding blobs and gobbs of goo. I found when i was adding gutter stuffers. Also i want to repaint the vents I need to sand them down firstly. Appears previous owner didnt use a “direct to metal” paint…. Paint failed in 2 years. If you already have a video on that, maybe reply with a link? Thanks a lot appreciate the guidance… I’ll be doing it anyway. Just don’t want to recreate the wheel😅

[@jjsroofing860]

In Alberta we use a different kind of drip flashing for the eaves . One that fits above the hangers. For the rakes we use gable trim ( or sil). With the sil the fascia friction fits into it and has way more wind resistance. Then if the roof has to get redone separately or soffits and fascias separately it can be done independently. If you overhang your starters one inch on the rakes you don’t need a roof edge. I’ve done more then enough reroofs to know that. Only time I ever repaired rotten plywood on a rake is when it had no starters and only 1/4” overhang.

[@DoItWithDill]

You’re absolutely correct. Up the gables is more for appearance than it is functionality. You can definitely do a roof without it.

[@Josh-ww5kz]

That's the same here in bc. But literally no one wants to get drip edge or even ice guard for the eaves and valleys. Don't know what you do but lots of guys here tend to think it's code to have your paper go into the eaves, which I truly don't get because if water gets under the shingles and onto the paper, it's going to leak. And I've seen guys who do use ice and water, not even use it properly, when I told them it has to wrap onto the fascia when the gutters are off, they say it's wrong. And I feel like if you use ice and water at the eaves you should be putting eave metal there for it to actually work. Like I did roofing in saskatchewan for 4 years im pretty sure I know what ice and water guard is meant for. I usually overhang my rakes at 1" and my eave starters by 1 1/2", but most guys here do 2" or more which makes the shingles curl down and it looks terrible when the heat bends it down.

[@jjsroofing860]

Paper in the eaves good. It’s actually better then drip edge and ice shield. That’s how all the old shake jobs are done. It works awesome with asphalt shingles too. Anything hanging 1 1/2” into eaves works. Even poly. We should just do all the roofs with synthetic at the eaves overhanging 1 1/2”. All the ice shield does is cause the most horrible rips. Your better off removing the plywood.

[@Josh-ww5kz]

@@jjsroofing860 what does the paper in the eaves do exactly?

[@jjsroofing860]

@@Josh-ww5kz ensures water doesn’t run between the eavestroughs and the fascia and prevents the plywood from rotting providing it’s a good sloping eavestroughs. I just know from 45 years of doing reroofs. I’ve seen what works and what doesn’t . If the underlayment doesn’t overhang and the shingles only overhang 3/4” there is almost always rotten plywood and dripping between eaves and fascia. That is the most common complaint when I’m doing estimates. Causes ice on sidewalks and driveway, and steps.

Hey dawg honestly I wish there were more roofing channels like this. I'm a roofer as well and I think you made me wanna start uploading my projects as well

[@DoItWithDill]

Do it! It’s a great opportunity and the comments help you learn a lot. They teach you thing you never knew before. I’ve learned more in my comment sections that I ever did on a jobsite. It’s crazy! Best of luck!

[@tommy.tequila]

On a standalone lean to shed roof. Would I put the drip edge over the Shingles at the utmost highest part of the roof where the Shingles end to prevent water from getting under Shingles?

[@Bone89]

No. Water will get under the edge . Go under shingles

[@inacircle6736]

Do you save more money when you do it yourself? The company I work for just buys drip edge in bundles

[@DoItWithDill]

This drip edge is bought. It’s a cheap alternative to steel drip edge.

[@Josh-ww5kz]

I usually just put a bend on my corner by 4 inches and have a full piece on the gable going up

[@DoItWithDill]

Yes that’s the cleanest looking way! Most people don’t even bend corners. Just overlap the gable to the eaves drip. It leaves a large gap in most cases.

[@Josh-ww5kz]

@@DoItWithDill exactly. I do counter flashing on skylights the same way, some guys just do a full on wrap around to get the most out of the flashing but I'd rather "waste" 6" of the metal to wrap on both sides rather have a single piece the side rather than adding in a small piece where there's a seam in the middle.

[@wm.d.nelson4912]

How do you find the studs in a wall to hang a T.V without a stud finder?

[@wm.d.nelson4912]

I know it's not roof related but couldn't think of a better person to ask..

[@DoItWithDill]

A skilled carpenter can knock, simply listening for the solid sound as he hits a stud. If it sounds hollow your not hitting anything. If it all sounds solid, it’s probably plaster and you have to measure from any exterior corner.

[@danielbryan6054]

Sean o malley if he was a roofer

[@matthewilliamorgan]

What about a 90 degree angle but in the other direction so an inside corner rather than an outside corner?

[@soulnishka4620]

Good question…. I am thinking it would be the same cuts, but just do not take out the triangle. Just cut the skirt and the top.

[@wrenchallen8034]

Odd question. Has that been a good truck for you? Reliable? I also roof

[@DoItWithDill]

Not a single issue in a year and a half. That’s with towing a 3.5 ton dump trailer on average if 5 days a week. It’s also great on gas which is a bonus with todays fuel pricing. Only cost is just regular oil changes, and probably brakes coming very soon.

Cut a book of 3 tab

[@Josh-ww5kz]

A book of 3 tab? You literally just put a full piece on, and cut 6" off the second shingle, put it on top, then put another full piece overtop of that. You can rack 3 tabs, just not architectural laminated shingles. If you're running a book it's basically the same thing. Put a full piece on, cut off 6" from the left side, put that on, get another shingle, cut a tab off, put it on, get another shingle, cut one tab off, then another half, of the next tab. Put on. Next shingle is a single tab, then the last is a half single tab. That's for a line up. But 3 tabs have notches on where to put the shingle that makes it a staircase pattern going up. Or you can do it the easy way and use you nail gun guage to do 3 tabs just have to make sure everyone's gun is set the same. 3 tabs have two notches, one about 6" on the top from both ends and one where it gives you the proper shingle exposure going up

[@gootubesucks9390]

Hey I have a stupid customer who thinks you don't tar exposed nails. Do you have a video where you tar exposed nails so he can shut up and pay me? you are dope btw

[@DoItWithDill]

I don’t currently, but adding tar is good practice for leak prevention. Highly recommended to use self sealing grommet screws.

We call that stuff rake edge. I would never use it on an eve edge. It has no projection so the water will run down your fascia. Certainly easy to fold. Nicking the kicker is unnecessary
