How To Install Starter Shingles

[@Tkat701]

If you nail on, or near the tar strip on your starter, it will hold the bottom row down in a similar fashion to the way your rows of shingles adhere to one another. Nailing high like that allows the bottom reveal to lift with wind.

did u use a blackberry to record this?

[@Average_Roofer]

No I used a razor flip phone.

So you leave a leading edge with no sealant on it… if you cut rake and drip sides at a 45 and miter the joints it’s a continuous seal all the way around!😉

[@avidreader6097]

Nice

[@duelnexustournaments1939]

You put the second one on upside down that adhesive is meant to have a nail go through it to hold the shingle to the roof and it seals against the other shingles regardless of whether it's the first run or not

[@redsresearch]

what you mean its upside down?

Give it one inch over hang at least man

[@avidreader6097]

1” is too much. Will get damaged in hi winds. Not recommended.

[@SkateNateTheGreat]

1/8 for starter and 1/8 for shingle making half inch total. 1 inch is too much.

[@brianjones3643]

@@SkateNateTheGreat 1/8 + 1/8 is 1/4 my boi

[@redsresearch]

​@@brianjones3643plus shingle goes flush with starter

[@hawkslayer2351]

do you put that plastic down on the whole roof first?

[@Average_Roofer]

Not always required, especially being a shed. However is always recommended and is good practice. Helps keep any potential leaks from damaging your roof decking.
