TAKE THE SHINGLES OFF FIRST IF NOT STUCK TO THE FELT THEN RIO OFF FELT I BEEN ROOFING 35 YEARS SOME ARE TOUGH I TORE OFF 9 LAYERS ON ONE HOUSE ABOUT TO FALL IN TO MUCH WEIGHT.

It's going to suck, "But I can Do It" . That right there is the motto of life

[@HowtoHacks]

Haha. Definitely true a lot of the time.

I just got quoted 45k for a shingle roof for my house. I went to a roofing supplier and 50 year GAF material (2900 sqft, 30 squares) is $9500. Includes material delivery and makita nail gun! It'll be fun

[@beefing313]

I'm in the same boat. I refuse to pay $25,000.

[@beefing313]

be safe how did the project tuen out?

[@bobcatwelder00]

i am getting ready to do 14 square on my own home

[@ελευθερία-ε2ο]

@@beefing313 turned out great. Lots of rain and snow this winter and no leaks! It took 3 weeks to complete.

[@ελευθερία-ε2ο]

@bobcatwelder00 good luck

[@jasonburks5911]

you can use a trap on the ground will help with cleanup,

I need to do this but on my actual house above my bedroom. I can't just let the pieces fall inward but that press board stuff is rotting away under the shingles. i also need to replace rotting fascia board and Gutters that rusted away, AND the corner piece where weather and squirrels have damaged it. I guess I need to invest in a pneumatic nailer?

Good job 👍🏻

Thank you 🙏

[@khoale1826]

thank you

I hope there is no asbestos in shingles?

[@HowtoHacks]

Fiberglass. The shingles were from the 90’s.

[@RaulZuniga-w2e]

I was doing this by hand about a week ago and it was 109 degree weather. Almost passed out on the top

[@HowtoHacks]

Yeah that sounds rough. It’s always hotter on the roof too.

[@sdsm90]

It use long years?

[@HowtoHacks]

?

[@afriendtoo6971]

I call it SOB board.

[@mbox314]

Considering how much work is involved in roof replacements I am suprised people go with asphalt shingles instead of somthing longer lasting. This is not somthing I would want to do more than once in my life.

[@arathlopez6989]

You have more experience than I do for sure but I recommend wearing long sleeve shirts and pants. Don’t forget the hat. Protect yourself from the sun and the sun doesn’t drain you as much

[@HowtoHacks]

Not bad advice….

[@tborg9173]

I have a way better system. I wait for the shingles to rot out and let the wind blow them into the neighbors yard.

[@HowtoHacks]

Haha

[@cindycinal2201]

That was hard for me to watch , didn't like to see my Loved ones on a pitched roof with rotted spot !!

[@HowtoHacks]

It was solid where we were standing.

[@philmifsud4127]

plywood better than OSB

[@HowtoHacks]

This is true

[@jay-l1x2v]

its rooooooffffff not rufffffff

[@pedrorockz]

3 hours on a little side 🤮

[@HowtoHacks]

That was by myself. It’s a lot of work.
