DIY Metal Roofing Installation, Basic How-To Video
Vložit

- In this video I'm installing some metal roofing over an existing ash-fault shingled roof. This is not a complete install only basic install on a bungalow, I'm not showing how to install in valleys, dormers around chimneys or installing pipe flashing, trims, flashing, gable trims etc. Please check out other peoples videos here on CZcams for more information.
The steal I installed in this video are 3 foot wide panels, 29 gauge. Cost of installing metal depends on many factors, if you remove your old layers of shingles to install new ash-fault shingles you will have to pay for disposal of the old shingles, always factor that into your quot. For myself in the end metal is only a couple of hundred dollars more, also less labor to install and much faster to install. Screws are installed into the flat areas that's how the manufactures install them.
I am not a roofer. This is just a DIY install on "my cottage roof", always follow the code in your area and speak with a professional metal installer.
Thanks for Watching Please Subscribe @kurtscottage many new projects on the channel. Peace out
To all the experts, I'm in Florida and my metal roof was installed in a similar fashion, no ridge vent (gable vents), basic drip edge on gables (obviously under metal), screws on flat part of metal (ridges on overlap), and directly on top of 2 layers of old shingles in 2004. It is now 2016 and we have been through no less than 6 hurricanes, countless tropical storms, and a thousand of thunderstorms. We have zero leaks. Good video for a DIY'er
Lawn Rescue Now that made be feel a lot better about this whole thing love the rely and video

Same here, it works.
Ameteurs always over engineer with their own fear based ideas.
this is good to know i livein davie and my roof is shit and leaking horribly all over the metal is al lbent in and messed up so i think im gonna do the strips and the sheets over those.. i have no gable really its a rounded kind of peak... 14 by 56 trailer.. wonder how much it will cost me to do it myself and i probably will have no help. heh truly doin it myself.. cant finish inside til ifix roof and cant sell house til roof is fixed.. glad thisi s a good way to do it
Thanks for that. I am going to install one just like this on my buddy's garage in St. Pete. Great to know this!
Thanks
This book is Awesome! I love the Lean-To-Shed the most (page 98). The plan czcams.com/users/postUgkxe9yi0sulKgsp0VJJCIrLWWkvVqcU7LFR is to attach it to the back of my brick house. I also like how they walk you through the many different steps of construction, which is important for the less experienced like me.
Is it digital book or physical book?
I was just quoted $14,000 to have a metal roof installed. Local metal roofing supply quoted $3000 for material. Looks like I’ll be doing it myself 😂 my house is only 1500 sqft. That’s insane! $3000 and some sweat sounds much better!
please! Your ass is spoiled. My 300 sqft roof in Blaine Wa was quoted for $11,800, $14,250, and $17,110....and thats for SHINGLE ROOF! You better take that offer!
@@geraldpatterson3903 Someone was flat out trying to rip you off.
Do not just go with the cheapest quote! Oftentimes, good and honest roofers will put their sign in front of someone's yard. You can see an example of their work.
Haha, You and me both!
We did it ourselves and we follow the video it work great
@TammiLutz how did it go? Thinking of doing the same
A word of advice.. On your gable edges, install a screw every 6" along the gable ends, not just every 24".. If you have a screw every 24" along the gable edge, wind will lift that edge.. and over time pull on the screws and damage the rubber washer seals. Leaking will damage the lath, and your screws will pull out.
Thanks, I live in high wind, blizzards and high snow level. Do roof this summer.
Lee Smith thanks
My 50 year old shed roof is finally leaking and you sir have given me the confidence to put a metal roof on it. Thanks!
Man you said you was not a professional ,but you work way better than many so called proffesionals ..well ,clean ,perfect job..👍👍👍👍
Keep in mind that a professional is just a person being paid for a service. Like when an amateur or an Olympic athlete turns pro by getting payed to play. It doesn't necessarily mean they are the best, good or even know anything about a particular service. Many home owner DIYers do much better work than most so called professionals.
I know the video is old but I had to thank you for this. I followed everything and my roof came out amazing.
This has given me what I need to know to do my roof and I am confident you have shown me enough I can do it well. Thank you for this
I have a section of my carport that is shingles and it’s only roughly 14’x16’ that needs metal roofing but this video definitely helped me. I’ve never done roofing before and although it’s a small area I’d hate to mess it up because we own the place and we want it to look nice. So thank you for the video.
Great video !! I would add that if you want a functioning ridge vent you should remove the asphalt ridge caps to open it up so you get the circulation needed ...it looks like the cap underneath gets closed by the strapping
Good video! Helpful hint. Screw down the first sheet. Use course threaded stitch screws and mastic and join three sheets where they overlap only. Now they are like a big accordion. Get the overhang that you want on the bottom of the farthest sheet. Screw it down at that location. Now screw them all down and do it again. Periodically check the distance to the other end of the roof to make sure one end is not getting ahead of the other. I always stack drill with a small drill bit about four sheets at a time on the ground before putting them on the roof. This makes for a stress free perfect job for me.
Hello Ray, mind explaining this a bit more? I didn't get it. I like the idea of pre-drilling the sheets while still on the ground for ease of use later but the mastic and accordion?
really enjoyed this! I'm thinking about installing metal on my shed and I found your info very helpful. Thanks for the video!
chess just finished my metal n my shed the gable trim is where I needed direction on the cuts angles etc you ll love the look
Me too, i have a little barn n I want a red metal roof, best of luck on ur project
Very excellent! Thank you so much for sharing., Take good care of you and yours.
Very well explained, and all the tips on keeping things square. I could see myself unscrewing several holes, wasted panels ect. Thank You. The Snowman.
You helped me more than any other video idk why anyone would do a dislike. I've been roofing all my life you did well
your video is way better than most of the professional videos. very helpful!
First useful video for this type of installation for the DIYer I’ve seen. Thanks.
Thank you sir for the video I started on my metal roof this week have finished 3/4 of the front stripped off my shingles put down tar paper and put down my metal roof so far it looks wonderful thank you so much for your inspiration. My roof and home is 30 years old I had to replace some plyboard around the drip edges that's just the manufacturer's fault but at least it's repaired now you did a great job showing how to get started your video gave me more confidence to attempt to do this thank you so much for the video. I finished my double wide mobile home it looked very good this video was a great help has not leaked so far been two months had 60mph wind this weekend all is still secure.😊
Not
Best video I've seen thank you!
Thanks. Very informative and well done. Your explanations of the details makes this an exceptional video. Take care.
I did my roof 48 by 16 feet , similar to this one . The roof was sound, rot-free and level , so I chose not to use strapping . I scraped off any humps in the oid shingles and swept clean , then put down an underlayment , which apparently seals the screw holes when you screw in the metal. I really could find no good reason for using strapping , and the manufacturer says it is optional on resurfaced residential roofs. They even have a more expensive metal style which has hidden screw seams for which they specifically state do not strap . Pre-drilling the screw holes while the panels are stacked evenly on the ground is ESSENTIAL , and will save you much time when lining up and screwing the panels on the roof . Screws in the top of the rib are recommended in Canada.
Thank you, sir, for the brilliant idea of pre-drilling the holes on the lined up panels. I think you just saved me many, many hours of work and the frustration of having screws pop off my screw gun as i try to force them through the sheet metal. I also agree about skipping the strapping if the roof is in reasonable shape still.
Great video . By far the most explained one. Thanks
Super easy to follow along with. My mom loves the ashtray I made for her.
lol
Very helpful video, thank you
Good job man! For me you’re the best....Nice teaching!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you. My friend is going to have to do a DIY roof install (roof is leaking but he can't afford a contractor) so this is very helpful. Will have to see if the store has the gable trim and foam trim available for the ridge caps. Not sure what brand of metal roofing, but I'll have to ask the guy tomorrow so we can see if there are installation videos or instructions somewhere. We know he needs the rake trim.
I done this . It’s pretty straightforward and looks great . I did not want to pay a contractor a arm and leg either .
Very helpful video. Thank you for your help and your time.
You are a great entertainer, I learned a great deal.
THANKS FOR BEING DETAILED AND THOROUGH.
Outstanding video for Roof Over Shingle.
I don't usually comment but great video. You explained really well.
Very good.
Only difference for me is I started strapping at the bottom and work up. That way I make my own safety steps to walk on as I go up.
Same thing really.
Id pay big bucks to hear this guy say " Dont cha know"
I enjoyed this video. gave me some good hints thanx
I did similar for my chicken house(13x50 feet). But it needs exhaust fan. Otherwise it will be rain inside from moisture. Very good idea.
Great video. I already have two metal roofs on structures and they are great. Lain on top of shingles with the 1 x 4's. Great job on video, make some more!
Youre so cool! I dont suppose Ive watch anything like this before. So good to find any individual with some authentic thoughts on this subject. realy thank you for beginning this up. this youtube video is one thing thats needed on the youtube, somebody with a bit of originality. useful job for bringing something new to the youtube!
On the ridge cap you need to be sure to put the screws through the foam , and only tighten it until there’s 1/8th inch gap between the ridge cap and your panels so you don’t over tighten and cause your ridgecap to have waves in it and it keeps your foam from blowing out if the screws are put through the foam closures.
To square your panels you can run a string line at the eave edge 1 1/2” inch from the edge of the roof then you can lay the panel until it touches the string and you know they are all even and straight when you’re looking up from underneath.
Joe Jones thank ya ~ we did deal s @ cost on elder handicap & found this tip Very Helpful
@JustCallMeLiberty I am glad to know it helped one person! I did a roof by myself for a disabled Vietnam veteran after hurricane Michael he was literally being rained on in his house insurance only paid X amount but the roofer was going to charge $17,000 more than the cost. So I told him about the metal cost and he ordered it and I did the roof for him. Saved him $17,000 plus labor
About to install on my project house and forgot how I used to do this. Great video reminder on the basics!!! Also your voice reminds me of my super secret conspiracy friend that is always high but also a bit manic. So I felt at home watching and listening ;)
Nice video.... Definitely some great pointers for the upcoming roof.
very informative thank you
So modest, you are just as skilled as Tim Allen bud!
Thanks for the info. It sure helped us.
You did a good job! The only things I would do different is a moisture barrier and maybe add some foam board. Also leaving air gaps in your slats will aid with airflow Condensation will drip onto the old roof.
Well done. Thank you for the information.
This was a really good video, you are a great teacher
Thank you for your time on making this video!
Thanks for the upload, I'm working on a portion of my roof. This was very helpful to watch.
I have suggestions if needed
Thanks for the info. Much needed.
Nicely done. Thanks.👍
I find predrilling helps a lot and ensures a straight line of screw heads. Also you should never strap part way across the roof then start adding your roofing because you need to straight line your strapping from gabble to gabble to take out any sag or humps your roof might have. This is done by using shims on the strapping until you get it straight on both planes horizontal and vertical. Otherwize your roof will show the issues more than it did with shingles. I have seen rooves shimmed over four inches straightened to look like they were perfect. Then the grey elephant in the room screws on the ribs ir the valleys. Different manufacturers say different things so follow their directions so you have the best chance of warranty if needed. The supplier I use locally suggest on the ribs. Who am I to argue after 20 years following his recommendations, Note he bends his own roofinging panels buying massive roles of flat stock in every colour he carries. He makes and sells tens of millions of dollars worth of steel a year. Same goes for the companies who tell you to fasten theirs in the valleys, it's their product follow their instructions whichever way they tell you.
Best dyi video on CZcams.... Well Done!!!!
Thanks for taking time to make the video!
Good job buddy! Thanks for the info

Thanks for great video and very good in every details.
Thank you very very much this video really very helpful
That doesn't look too hard nice video I need to replace my roof and I don't want to spend too much I have a very simple roof just like yours
My husband drank two beers taking a drink every time Mr. Fix-it said "basically". LOL However, this was a helpful video and glad he took the time to make it.
Basically. A very good video, thanks for sharing!
Wow great video...thanks a million :)
these are the best .. even new shingles constantly leak there little beads and clog the drainage system
Awesome video!! Thank you.
thanks for the info ..great video
Hey,this was a great video
Well done 👍🏻
...thank you for posting...
Great explanation!
This guy is better then a real roofer
good video, gave me some insight.
Awesome!
Those straps should be angled to promote air to flow under the metal and keep it dry. The other reason it should be angled is do if there was water ingress it would flow down to get out and not puddle between the straps.
They also should have put bubble insulation or underlayment to help with condensation
Great video, easy to follow. Well done, thanks
Thanks 👍 Glad it was helpful!
Nice video alot of people putting it down because of where you put your screws thay go on the flats ppl your right for what your doing if you were using nails thay go on the ridges I'm a red seal carpenter that was in my 2nd year and that's what it says in the books
nice job
Basically, this is a nice helpful video.
Great video, thank you!
Great job!
Thank You so very much 🤗💕💕💕👍
Nice job Mr DIY roofer
DIY advice, Put your screws in the ridge on the siding and clean the shavings before you set the screws, The shavings will rust and stain your roofing plus they could also prevent the rubber washer from sealing, Good Video...
Nice presentation.
What an EXCELLENT video!!! I am going to be converting my roof from asphalt shingle to 26ga. metal myself. Nothing wrong with the existing one I just like the way the metal ones look....and hold up here in south Texas! Thanx for sharing 😊
Well done video. Thanks
nice work
Domtek installation instructions don't tell you to put the narrow end over the fat end for overlapping sheets. I'm glad I watched your video. I also watched another video that showed how the sheets get overlapped. You did it right.
Awesome video.
Great information..!
Awesome Video
Great video! Thx.
I have a question i am trying to figure out but can’t find any videos on this subject... do you have to trim the shingle when you install steel over shingle? You know you have a lip by the gutter and the side ?
Great video
