- This video will show you how to install your ridge and hip caps on your metal roofing. It includes some tips to remember during this fairly simple process.
Go to www.RoofingInte... to watch the complete 14 video series on installing metal roofing.
I’ve just completed putting a new metal roof on my shed. Without your videos, I would never have been able to do it. Your excellent and clear advice is truly exemplary. Each video provided the step-by-step information that I needed to complete the job. At 72 years old, I still love learning new things and my shed needed a new roof! I can’t thank you enough for your time and effort to put this series together.
Thank you sir, I have used your videos several times in the last few weeks while prepping my sister's gambrel style garage that my dad and I built 50 years ago. Do you have any videos that are gambrel specific? I'm trying to wrap my brain around the facia trim piece where it intersects both above and below the hip cap. It sure seems like I have watched at least 100 videos about metal roofing in recent weeks and although I have seen a few involving gambrel roofs, none have actually covered this. I will say however, that your videos have helped me immensely. Thanks again. - Keith
Ty for quick and simple...
this looks like early how it’s made era footage
Greetings.. Could you explain how to join shingles on a four way intersection connected at the same elevation.. one ridge is 12 12 the other is 6 12.. I put new dormers in a 12 12 roof, the dormers are 6 12 but the new ridges come together at the same elevation.. Thanks so much for your help!!
Thanks! I'm about to install the metal cap. I'll take good advice where I can get it.👋
thanks for information, I really appreciate it.
I've been wondering how to keep the edge of the ridge cap from digging into the roof panels as you screw it down. I see you have your ridge cap folded on the edges.
Hi. I enjoyed the video. I would like your opinion for installing ridge cap where the lip of the ridge cap isn't inline with the perlins. I have built a shed but perlins are 40 mm away from either side of ridge cap lips. What would you do in regards to where you fix the screws
You can just run the screws into the metal and they will hold pretty good. I've had issues where the screws that were just metal to metal backed out so I always try to get the screws into wood.
@@RoofingIntelligence thanks for your reply. I did end up putting screws through perlins at every lap of sheet and then ran a small screw at lap and middle of every sheet in lip.
I saw someone on my street adding roof ridge caps to the facia of there roofs looks cool 😎 but is it bad for the facia at all 🤔
Where is seal between roof ridge? Wind can easily push water under the ridge.
Were you not listening at 3:02? Pay attention next time instead of staring at that cell phone.
I can understand why you would ask that but in my experience, if the ridge cap overlaps the panels by 4-5" it has not been a problem. If you are concerned about wind driven rain, they make both a vented and non-vented closure that you can install under the ridge vent.
@@Jeff82556 he was listening, you just have a hard time comprehending his comment. English is hard bud but you’ll get it one day.
thank you for the videos. I bought your videos some time ago and I don't find them. How does it appear when you send the confirmation via email? I am trying to find them I don't know where they are in my computer. sorry
How would you install a ridge cap on a ridge that has a pitch change within the ridge?
How do you install a ridge cap when it leads into another roof with a higher elevation?
Someone get this poor guy a drink of water!
I would like to see metal done on a hipped roof.
I've got a video for that! Check my feed.
My man God bless
Thank you very much. I enjoyed your video!
Your videos are great. Actually, you should be in movies and acting
How do you do a dormer
How can you keep bats from crawling up under and still have proper ventilation?
There is closure strips that get installed first, they make both vented and normal not vented closures.
What about the foam rubber gasket?
It's got to have room to breath plus most of the time you tin sheeting us about 6 inches up and it's quite hard for rain the run uphill.
@@thomasgilliam3104 It’s when the wind is blowing hard and raining hard. Easily blows the rain up in the peak. Does it a lot. They make the gasket for a reason.
