wonderful video. Yours is the first I found that actually shows what to do with the caping before your first peice of vent. Good job.

[@ericbennett2296]

Cue the birds singing! Cue the neighbor dog barking! Roofing is good for the soul. You articulate the process with amazing clarity. Thank you, this was worth watching.

[@rbootsebenfield]

Thank you. I am watching these videos because I have to hire a roofer and want to understand the process without a sales pitch. This video was clear and matched with what some of the salesmen were telling me. I now know what questions to ask and what to watch out for. You have a calm and clear way of presenting and explaining. I bet you are a great teacher.

[@phildonohue8164]

Great video! Thank you for sharing the series. These were very helpful. I was able to roof my new shed after watching these.

[@Astromyxin]

Starter cap is missing. This system of capping is a 4-ply system. The first cap on the house is only two ply. There should be a double half-cap(two caps together with their exposures cut off, leaving the adhesive intact, facing rakeside) installed first before you install your first course of cap. And, you should make sure that your final cap also has 4 plys as well.

Nice job, the drip edge overhangs are perfect.

[@freedomforusa1658]

I love that the nails for the ridge cap are slipped right on the sides of the ridge vent. Handy!!!

[@minthillbilly]

Great question! wish i would have covered it in the vid. On the last shingle, after its nailed down. Trim so theres about a half to 3/4 of and inch hanging past the ridge vent. you can dab just a little roofing tar over the nail heads and call it finished or what I like to do is cut another shingle tab to fit over the exposed nail heads and then use the tar generously to attach that last shingle. It looks better and there are no exposed nail heads. Hope this helps. take care!

[@kralljazz]

This is the way ya do it ! Thank you sir ...............

[@SouthernBlessedHomestead]

Great video. Im doing this on an 8X16 storage shed.

[@lupitchr1]

Great job on the video! Been the best one I've seen so far on ridge vents! :)

[@harrycunningham6805]

Great video and instructions,

[@genechronister7085]

awesome video,this helped me a lot! thank you

[@Spartan1234ish]

Leave it to us good ol boys to show the proper way to do roofing. Nice job.

[@minthillbilly]

Thank you very much friend! Glad it was helpful. take care and have a great day!

I cap from both ends toward the middle with the shingles turned away from the gables. That way water sheds away from the roof ends of the roof vent. At the gables, I lay a half starter with the sticky strip toward the outside and then nail the cut off aggregate half on top of it, dabbing the nail heads neatly with some roof cement sprinkled with loose aggregate to hide them. This eliminates the need to decide which is the windward gable. The middle gets another half shingle nailed, dabbed and sprinkled. It's a little extra work but it functions better so I put up with it.

[@TkN_WorldMedia]

Awesome video and nice works! Thanks

[@knottreel]

Great instructions. I learned a lot from this video.

[@Thebowzer221]

Once again, a very good video. I learned something.

[@steveoranges1960]

When we got our new roof put on I looked around the attic and freaked out when I saw big gaps at the very top because I didn't know about ridge vents so I thought they had cut the plywood sheets too short :D
