HOW TO | Roofing Basics (Part 3 of 3)

In this video, I break down exactly all of the steps I would take when doing this roof if it was my first time ever shingling, but knowing what I know now. In part 1 I broke down the order of operations for gutter apron, ice shield, felt and drip edge. In part 2, I detailed the importance of starter as well as how to put it on, and I showed you guys the extra precautions I would I take when shingling my first roof such as snapping lines every 5th row. in part 3 you get to see it all come together, i highly recommend that you watch parts 1 and 2 in full if you plan on tackling a roofing project of your own. I don't want you guys to miss any important details. Leave your comments below and thank you for watching!!

Is that ice and water textured like a shingle or skate board grip tap?

[@patharris5004]

I'm a foreman We build patio covers So roofing is a small part of what we do A typical job is 4-6 square down south when weather gets to 110°+ Every small tip and trick can mean the difference in getting dehydrated 1x a week or 1x a month His videos have saved me litterally

[@larry1708]

I would hope the several companies you're connected to are paying you for your time here. I certainly wouldn't be doing all this for free ? Owens Corning should be compensating you , for sure. And I'm hoping you've got crews working for you? In any case, I thank you for your service to the Industry and I've totally enjoyed your videos. The "tips" really helped. I've got em memorized.

[@cjmarsh321]

I don't roof anymore. But I used to. And learned all this stuff like 15 years ago... But I just watched that whole hour and loved every minute of it. Awesome video dude I wish someone broke it down to me that clearly and calmly back in the day.

[@jaottobotto]

This is a phenomenal 3 part series and the best roofing how-to I've found. Watched all 3 parts from start to finish multiple times, picking up new things each time. Seeing you align the shingles into place for the correct overlap using the tip of the nail gun was genius. Big thanks to you guys for putting this together. I used a hook blade on my Dewalt oscillator and it made cutting the starter shingles and trimming the edges of the roof a piece of cake. I also cut two pieces of premeasured plywood (8" and 16") so I didn't have to do any thinking and the plywood made an excellent straight edge guide when cutting them with the oscillator. I also ended up snapping lines every 2nd row as I found it easier for a newbie to have more lines to reference and have that "reset" more frequently than every 5 rows.

[@NWIVeteranConstruction]

Thank you! Happy to help

I did some roofing back in the 70s and 80s, and I am about to re-roof my current house. I have been watching lots of video’s and learned something from most all of the videos I have watched., as the products have changed from the days gone by. I did find yours to be one of the most help full. You point out a lot of little tricks that will come in handy. one that I noticed that you did not pass on was the use of the nail gun to help line up the next shingle before nailing it down I thing that would have been worth mentioning. other wise super informative, thank you.

[@cliffordolive1]

Thank you, I really needed all 3 parts 🙏🏻 ❤️, I'm 61 and forgot alot, I used to do roofing 35years ago, I'm trying to put solar and they want the singles changed to match the age of the panels, 20 years, my income is fixed and couldn't use credit for a lone(probably a good thing), so I bought the material and I'm waiting for the weather to clear, meanwhile I came across your video researching replacing asphalt roof shingles to freshen up, even mistakes are good to see, I noticed you didn't pull the nail, pulled the tile off and drove the nails down flat, thank you for your service, and thank you for your efforts 😀

Dont use shingles on a flat roof

[@RisenSk8ters]

Great video! Super informational just how it should be! One little tip that I've seen that is beneficial, is to have a piece of plywood that is a little longer and taller than your shingles, that you can cut on while you're on top of a roof. Just to ensure you don't cut into any shingles or the paper underneath!

[@seanpetersen9326]

Excellent tip. Was looking for that !

Retired after 42 yrs of roofing, started running a kettle and finished up as service manager for high end commercial roofing company, over the years i worked with 100s of roofers, all had their own style and as long as they met my standards for quality and production i never bugged them about their technique, thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge, the industry is in dire need of quality minded roofers

[@slippinslidewayz]

I like the shingle cut method for beginners. We always laid them all, chalk lined, and cut them back at the end but that was on a 4-5 guy crew. I gotta admit, my first few cuts were pretty ugly, but you get very accurate over time and it keeps all of the roofing guns running.

[@Corsmartin]

Thank you for all the videos. I have a 20 sq roof I am doing this summer (after a few repairs last summer) pretty straightforward, double wide with no hips or valleys. And between you and Grand Roofing here on YT I feel like I have a a huge compilation of knowledge now and am really excited to get it done and see the end result. Appreciate the time you take to keep them videos coming!

[@motomanjf]

One thing we do different on our crew is we cover the ice for our felt. It’s easier to keep it straight, the shingles won’t stick to the ice for later repairs/tear off, and it’s better grip to walk on especially when it’s hot.

[@NWIVeteranConstruction]

i agree with that! i've thought about doing it myself. maybe i should coz i know for damn sure i don't wanna be roofing when we start rippin off nothing but 2 rows of ice and water shield on every house. the days are close

Owens Corning recommends 6 1/2 inches for your stagger step with a minimum of 4 inches and a maximum of 8. The “5 5/8” number he’s talking about is actually the height of a shingles course line (exposed part of shingle after applicators) not being a smart Alec just clearing it up for the newbies

[@NWIVeteranConstruction]

Thank you guys for watching! I would like to add that I do not recommend diy roofs on your home... a garage or a shed is a little different because shingles don't usually leak in the field, they'll leak in the details (pipes, valleys, walls, flashings etc). Oh and i also I get a lot of questions about tools on here so if you're thinking about doing a project on your own or new to the roofing game I went ahead and located some awesome tools to help you guys out and they are all cheaper on amazon than the ones I find in stores. Links are in the description! Hope you find it helpful. Also, be sure to check out parts 1 and 2 if you haven't done so. Very important to this process. Obviously there's much more to roofing than this, so if you need help with valleys, ridge cap, ridge vent, regular vents, pipes, removing and re-installing dish satellites etc. I have all of that and plenty more to watch, here in these 2 playlists! Be sure to check them out! kzbin.info/aero/PL5lfy7rRhJVuCig7gNZ4EdxjDtIePxzRK kzbin.info/aero/PL5lfy7rRhJVu6DTqDxTxgwKlqaRhXgt0A

Yeah it feels the same structurally pretty similar. But I was blown away during all the removals of new roofs due to hail storms. I was blown away that OSB could not hold the nails down. They can but not nearly as much. In the early years we would tear off a roof from the top down (usually). But things kind of changed after the hail storms. A lot of different techniques were created. Tearing off from the bottom showed how you could pull up on entire books. News to me. Roof Has to be new enough to do this. But through this it was very eye-opening to see the OSB failures. Sorry if I did not explain that well. Thank you again to this channel to helping other people

yea all i've really known is osb besides tear offs. definitely comes off pretty easy on osb camparitively. still a good product in my opinion and to be honest it's what 90+% of builders are using in my area. i almost never see plywood on new construction

[@mischafellner2892]

@@NWIVeteranConstruction. Please know I was not commenting on the use of OSB I still use it today. Nor your use of. You’re a really good roofer and you share a lot and I wanted to point that out. Back when we used to tear of wooden roofs originally we did everything with plywood. Eventually OSB came through and yeah it’s cheaper and very similar. And I always thought it was the same. I think you’re going to get a lot of attention from your videos. They are very good. And I wanted to throw a couple cents in there. I’m not techy enough to make videos( sorry fat hot asphalt fingers). If I had the money I would buy plywood. Keep going you rock.

[@TheJgarcia71]

It doesn’t seem like I can add pics to the comments, which it’s too bad but I used your 3 part DIY vids and I was able to do the roof on a covered outdoor kitchen I’m building. I’ve never done roofing before but your step by step vids helped out immensely. Thank you boss. You were a lot of help.

Roofing keeps people strong and healthy. I was roofing from 1982 as a kid my dad trained me well. I retired at age 50. Roofing has been very good to me. Beautiful vid. Let the homeowners learn and save from paying ridiculous prices nowadays. Roofing is a really simple aspects. Dad said to ," think like a drip , think like your water , where would you go ?? Downhill. Down slope. Think like a drip.
