![HOW TO ROOF A HOUSE! [DIY]](/img/tr.png)
About to close on my first home and it was pointed out the roof is 30 years old. I have roofed a home like this before, but that was a while ago, so this is a great refresher.
Age doesn't matter, failure of the shingles does, if it looks good leave it, you can color and seal an old roof
Good shit guy. I as a roofer, can't talk shit. You did something no one wants to do. I hate roofing, but it provides for me and my family. And has us a good little business. Thats why I love it too. Any questions you have on roofing or any other carpentry project you got, let me know. I'll answer any question I can.
Hey can I put shingle roof over my gravel roof I currently have or do I have to remove it ?
Qq
Hey could be worse, you could be a handyman who won't touch roofing jobs! As I found out the hard way recently trying to get a small roof patch job done. And you make
better money roofing, anyway. I imagine. They won't touch it due to licensing, insurance and legal issues, etc. Then later it turned out my landlord had to have the fore roof
redone anyway, because some storm damage had caused a leak, but the roof was shot, and shredded, so you couldn't even patch or repair it. Replacement only.
Thank God I'm not paying for it, at least!
@@louiethegreat3709 gotta vacuum up the Gravel. Better off using mod bit or TPO if it's flat. Maybe even a coating system.
Good job for DIY.
Few tips (for the general public) that I'm sure you've gotten a million times already: Never nail through your wall flashing. It's meant to float as the house expands and contracts and that provides a leak proof junction. Also, it's a good ideal to nail a couple of inches away from them.
When you countersink a nail by mistake, cover it with a little flashing cement (aka trowel grade tar) and nail next to it.
Above the center of every tab at the top of the shingle is a little reference cut. When installing shingles against a wall, flip it so that it's face down, line up the end of the shingle with the cut in the center of the farthest tab out from the wall, cut from there down and when you insert the shingle, it'll be perfectly spaced at 6" every time and it'll make up for the imperfections in squareness that every house has after having settled at the wall. You'll be starting off with a perfectly spaced course and that sets you up for the rest of the job.
Try to leave a quarter of an inch from the wall with the shingle if you're shingling in cold weather. In warm weather, they'll expand and buckle if they're butt right up to the wall. In the summer, you can butt them up and they'll contract when it gets cold.
Cut on the back side of the shingles. The granules wear out blades excessively fast. By cutting on the back side, not only will you use far less blades, but it's a lot easier to control the cut (meaning more accuracy) and a lot less work on you forearm (less fatigue).
For your starters (the inverted ones), cut off the tabs. There'll less of a bump when you lay your first course/row down.
But again, great job on an easy roof.
Nice vid
I just seen 1 issue
You did good tucking the shingles in the step flashing
Flashing should always be replaced when putting on new shingles
Unless they look in "new" condition
Those may have been
Should not put a nail under step flashing
Water will be directed to that nail
The nail will corrode leaving a hole for water leaks
Your video was very informative. I feel confident enough to take on a roofing project.
You made it look so easy I feel like I can do roofs now lol... Great video!
🤣🤣😂
Looks good, not looking forward to doing my roof but this video helps a lot!
Great to hear this video helped. Thanks for watching Alex. Good luck on your project.
Guys are redoing our roof right this very second! If I wasn’t renting I would have done it myself using this video!
Thanks for the input Mass and Thanks for watching.
superb demonstration, thank you.
I have a roofing channel and can't even explain how to roof this nice. 🤣🤣🤣
HAha! Great to hear and thanks for watching. Keep up the great work on your channel as well. Feel like I can learn a thing of two from a fellow PNW’er like yourself.
you know you lying 😭
This was extremely informative, thank you!
Great to hear RIP and thanks so much for watching! Hope you subscribed.
@@BYOTools I definitely did this video was extremely clear and helpful. Can’t wait to watch more!
Can you replace a toilet? Or just a total bathroom remodel? Including waterproofing.
Really nice job, thank you for sharing with us
Great to hear and thanks for watching Walter. Hope you subscribed.
Great instructions! Nice and simple to follow thank you
When laying down your felt you can use the plywood as a straight marker.
Excellent Work!
Great job man. Nice work buddy
Great Job on making this video!
Thanks so much for watching Aaron and hope you subscribed.
Again great job 👍
what a delightful, expert, and eloquent fellow, he is! thank you so much, and you have a great life.
Well done! Really nice!
Great to hear Carol and thanks so much for watching. Hope you subscribed.
Nice.Very helpful.Thanks for sharing. I have an old moss-free garage roof. Can't I single over it?
Nice tips. Thanks for sharing
Awesome video. Thank you.
Great to hear. thanks for watching Mike.
Man this video was so helpful I no longer want to look for someone to do my roof😮
Just got into roof sales, which I hate that term because I rather would be called a roof serviceman, consultant, advocate. Because I really do care about the safety and well being of a homeowners roof. But thanks for posting bc now I have an idea what all it takes and all that is needed to replace the roof, so that now I am more educated in this field which I think is very important for every roofing consultant/sales person to know. It’s actually not that hard. Good job by the way, your a great son, and you helped your parents with the fraction of the cost, as well as helped them not claiming their insurance. I just hope that you are licensed to do that because here in Florida you can not install a roof your self unless you are a licensed roof replacement contractor. But good job buddy overall very good video, explanation, and job.
Very helpful video.
Thanks
Nice demo! Did anyone see how the roof adhesive is used?
Awesome thank you for making this
Nice job, very informative
Great to hear DCB. Thanks for watching and hope you subscribed.
You make this look so simple, thank you so much.
Did the flashing get replaced, if so why wasn't it shown, if not why not? Thanks for nice vid for complete beginners.
Nice work dude.
Thank you i. Have to do half of a roof for my house and it will make it lot easier with your video. Thanks again
Very informative video thank you
Thanks for making this video
No problem and thanks so much for watching Santiago. Hope you subscribed.
Beautiful roof
looks awesome good job
Very nice, thank you. I work in a lumber yard and we sell a bunch of this stuff so I'll have to get some pricing 👍
Good job! Thanks for video
Youre suppose to put 6 nails per shingle, as stated on the shingle packaging, because if you dont and theres a storm and shingles blow off and the shingle company sees you didnt put the correct number of nails in the warranty is void! AND YOU ARENT PUTTING THE NAILS WHERE THEY GO, AND THEY GO IN THE TAR STRIP! One nail on each end in the tar strip, and one nail on each side of the slit, which there are two slits, equals 4 nails, plus the two on the ends equals 6 total. You also did your starter shingles wrong! The only way it worked for you to start tearing off from the bottom is because there was only one layer of shingles, and they were barely fastened to the roof. Youre also suppose to PULL the nails on the sheathing, not pound them in because they will push back up creating a leak. You pound the nails when there are only batter boards, then cover with sheathing and nail them. Potato forks are the best tear off tool there is!
Love the Sonics shirt!!!
bc prices are so high i’m doing my garage myself. last time i did a roof was 20 yrs ago so thank you for providing this refresher video 🤙🏼
my house was a rental for 10 yrs so leaves and vines rendered the back portion rotten. can’t wait to spend $1.2M on sheets of plywood decking 🙄😂
Thank You 💞💞💞
good job for the size
Thanks for watching.
Thank you I needed this . I’m going to reduce my roof
Plz come do my roof 🙏🏼
Do a video how to break down a wall with mold or if there’s a easy way around that part of it has to do with the leaky roof
really helpful. im 15 redoing my dads roof for 2250 and i needed too do some more research
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Moss can act a little like thatch. I made the mistake of removing old-growth moss in the autumn instead of re-roofing in the summer. Created big-time leaks all winter.
Hi, is this roof have a high degree of slope? I could not tell from the video. thanks
No Ed it doesn’t. Very slight roof slop. Probably only a 3/12 pitch. Hope that helps and thanks for watching.
Thank you for this video, I live in Canada and I have to do my roof again after 18 years. The contractor was using the IKO shingles on my roof and I was told that the product has 25 years of warranty, however, the shingles on the sunny side started to fall apart already after 18 years. I have contacted IKO and they are offering me the warranty reimbursement ONLY if I use their shingles again. My question is what is the normal lifespan for the shingles in general? How good these IKO shingles in comparison to the other brands?
Thanks so much for watching and good questions. In all honesty I don’t have extensive experience with shingles but a 25 year warranty seems to be the minimum. Some have lifetime warranties but I don’t know how they can make that claim when they obviously won’t last forever. I would look at product reviews and see which ones are better. That’s what I generally do when I don’t have a tremendous amount of knowledge about a product first. Sour I’m not more help but thanks so much for watching.
Also metal, concrete, clay, or slate tile shingles which are more expensive but pretty much last 50 years plus of life.
Thanks Brasil.
Hi, BYOT. Why did you start the first row of shingles about a foot from the bottom edge of the roof?? 4:23
you5711 its metal there it acts like a gutter the water goes down where that screen is.
Nice job
Isn't the flashing supposed to go above the shingles?
nope
I would like to try and reroof my house however I have never done it before. It doesn’t look that hard. Is this a good idea
Depends on how big your roof is and how much you want to save some money. This was a very small section of roof that took me all day long to do. Just know its hard work (on the body) and HOT work, but you can save a tremendous amount of money doing it yourself. Thanks for watching Trent and hope you enjoyed the video.
youre my hero gotta redo my whole roof you are the most throrough
Sicaari b thanks again for watching. Glad to hear this video helps.
Thank you for the video! Are you wearing a Seattle Supersonics shirt?
I need my roof done so bad I’m about ready to do it myself 😂
What kind of roof is this? Wouldn't this cause the water to leak from between the shingles and metal edge? How are you preventing that?
I like the Sonics shirt!
subscribed!
Thanks John. Much Appreciated.
thank you
Thank you for watching Judith.
Did you put 1 layer or 2 layers of shingles? I couldn't tell in the beginning
I doubled up the shingles on the very first row but that was it. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoyed the video.
Nice one
What about the ice and water shield?
nice work!! that seems really simple! isn't it like 15 grand to have a contractor do a re roof? thanks!
In NY 20k$
Good Job. Easy to follow guide. Very informative.
I have a triangle roof, should I replace the shingles or is it better to rubberized it
How do you rubberize a roof? Thanks for watching Matthew.
Good job mate!
Thanks for watching and the support.
Before I correct what you did wrong here, I would like to say I like watching you work and some other jobs you did, like #8, are very nice. Now then; I would suggest using plastic caps for felt instead of staples because it provides a better water barrier and it's much easier to remove if you ever have to redo your roof again. Your shingle pattern was completely wrong, if you read the wrapping, it says to stagger it so the lines on the tabs don't line up so it doesn't make a water line in your roof. It should look like stairs but shouldn't line up on every other shingle, it should be every 4th. The way you did this actually voids the warranty of some shingle manufacturers.
Delerium682 I know this is old but if you are worried about staples, you are about to put nails everywhere into the felt when you add the shingles.... staples are fine.
How is hisstaggering pattern any different than Tommy Silva in this video czcams.com/video/3bQPEEtWGKU/video.html
Is there a video depicting what you are explaining here about staggering?
@@kaknockitoff czcams.com/video/Mbl4y49Xzj0/video.html best i could find in 5 minutes, i'm sure there's plenty more that explain how it applies to the warranty, which may depend on the specific brand too.
Professionals actually advise not to use 2 regular shingles, one on top of the other, for your first layer. There are specific starter shingles that actually adhere to the underside of the regular shingles and to the roof. So that way your edges dont get blown off in high winds. Too late now obviously but for the next time you have to do it lol.
Thanks for the input Zero. I'll keep that in mind on future projects. THanks for watching.
Thank you for this. I live in a windy area, so I appreciate the comment.
@@Aicirt8 just found that out when watching some home repair videos when I was looking to either buy or build a house to see if I could do some things myself lol. Still don't have the income or credit to do either yet though.
@@zero00044 Fingers crossed you will find the perfect house or land! I just recently bought my first house. There is a lot of fixer-upper to do, including the roof. I'm aiming to do as much myself as possible.
@@Aicirt8 still going to be a few years. Debt to income ratio is a little high lol
Thank u
Hi thanks for the well produced tutorial. Curious how many hours of actual install work it took for this 200 sq ft section? How much money do you estimate might be saved by doing this yourself vs if your parents had hired the job out? Excluding materials costs. Thanks in advance for any info!
Thanks for watching Charles. The whole project took me a day to do once I had all of my materials ready to go. I'd say about 8 to 10 hours. Labor is very expensive here in Seattle and for a project this size no contractor would do it for less then $4,000 I would imagine. So I saved the parents at least $3,000 in labor alone since I did this for free. They deserve it though haha. Thanks for the support.
@@BYOTools It was nice to know the price contractor would have charged.
The "Metal Trim" is usually called "Flashing" because that's what it is! ;)
You are correct sr. Thanks for watching.
do a tesla solar roof BYOT installation !!! Im binge watching this series
you don't replace the old substrate plywood or sheathing?
nickka2009 no need to replace it if the substrate is not damaged. Luckily ours was not and we could avoid that step. Thanks for watching.
@@BYOTools thanks
How about pouring a shower pan?
i cant find the like button on my computer, so: LIKE
So here's a question. Me cheap and me don't want to spend on renting a nail gun. Can I just use a regular hammer to hammer the nails for the shingles?
You nail through the flashing? That surprises me
Hi Ducati. When do I nail through the flashing in this video? I don't see that when I watch it? Are you taking about the flashing that is directly attached to the siding of the house. In any case as long as the shingles are overlapping the nail penetrations you should be just fine. Thanks for watching.
You have nail heads within inches of your waterline, directly by the wall.. you gotta know when to nail high on edges & walls or you get exposed nail heads or nails too close to your waterline. Might not leak immediately but eventual it will
At first i thought you were digging up a gatden. lmao
haha. Ya it didn't look much like a room when I got to it. Thanks for watching Kansas
How come the old plywood boards are not replaced?
You would only replace the plywood if they where damaged. They where in very good shape luckily so we didn’t have to worry about replacement. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoyed the video.
Was wondering, what would you use basic roofing cement for otherwise, I've gathered it's used for small roof patch jobs and securing leaders around roof exhausts and chimneys,
etc., antennas, but what else? You don't seem to really need much roofing cement for a basic roofing job as seen here.
Thanks for this vid, because I'm about to do my own during this Covid-19 stay-at-home order.
Great to hear Anton and good luck on your project. Thanks for watching and hope you subscribed.

How many bundles of shingles did this take?
Good question Nicholas. Each bundle is about 33sf and this roof was approximately 6'x20' so I purchased 4 bundles. Thanks for watching and hope the video helped.
where in the Pacific Northwest are you?
North Seattle area. Thanks for watching Justin.
I’m trying to start a roofing company any tips or pointers?
I would never call myself a roofer but with my experience my main suggestion is to Stay hydrated. When the sun is beaming down on you and there is no shade to be had then you can become dehydrated surprisingly quickly. Hope that helps and thanks for watching.
Give me a shout. I'll answer any questions on roofing you have. I think I'm on Google. Look up Benitez roof repairs. I'm around Dallas, TX
How much could you save by doing this yourself?
He said like $3000 saved...(in comments section)
Florida, everyone is reroofing at 10yrs due to insurance. What is the average southern life span of a shingle roof?
Why put a nail into the flashing? Should not the building facing shingles be under that layer? If you put a nail through flashing now water can penetrate no? - Just learning roofing
In most circumstances I would agree with you Ettrick but as long as the shingles are properly overlapping and coving all nail penetrations then moisture should not be an issue. Thanks for watching and the discussion.
How to reroute a dimensional roof existing dimensional shingles
Sorry but what is the questions? haha. Thanks for watching.
You definitely lucked out on that step flashing in that it lined up with your new shingles. Otherwise you'd have to remove the lower part of your siding and put new step flashing in.
Hey what do you mean lined up?
@@rsykaiskinner4350 Do you know what step flashing is?
it looks good. but it will leak at both side flshing.
Why do you think so nick? Been a couple of years and so far so good. Thanks for watching though.
that cul de sac looks EXACTLY like the one I stayed in in Humboldt
I had no idea that this street style was called a cut de sac LOL! Thanks for the tip and hope you enjoyed the video.
2 sq you're a beast brah 😂😂
Haha! Thanks for watching and for the support John.
Great tips! But what if you are a straight dude?
In that case the shingles will hang to the right........LOL! Thanks for watching Robert.
Did you rip off the plastic on the shingles in the back?
I didn't need to with the shingles that I purchased on this project. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoyed the video.
That's for packing so they don't stick together u can leave it on
Do you have a video of replacing the substrate, surface, fascia, soffit, and eavestrough for a flat roof? I've been trying for months to get someone to repair my carport, but I can't get anyone to do it. They either turn it down outright as too small a job (for them), or string me along, saying that they'll send me a quote, then don't bother to get back to me. Others just don't bother to show up when scheduled or call to let me know, resulting in hours of wasted time just waiting around for them. Very unprofessional. Anyway, I have no idea how to do it, but it looks like I have to do it myself. I have shingled sloped shed roofs, as a Habitat for Humanity volunteer, but not a flat roof. The boards are rotting and dangerous, and I don't have scaffolding, but I have no choice but to tackle it myself. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
