    We do 12-3/4 off drip edge, then 5-1/2 show every row up the roof with chalk lines. Over half way up the roof we will square the top line to the ridge. This ensures the shingles are squared to the roof, tar line is directly on the key way of the shingles, no exposed key ways, and that the shingle nailed above the other has the additional nails. Everyone has their own system, I am sure yours works well.

    Thanks for these 3 videos, I am facing my home roof replacement; insurance paid claim due to high wind shingles flying; problem is the contractors I have spoken so far quoted more than what I have for it. I am entertaining the idea of do it myself, now these videos have some of all the info I need but not all; the good news is I used to work finished carpentry and framing for many years but just never done any roof before; I as well are not a car mechanic and took apart our Toyota Corolla, overhauled the whole car most parts and put it back together; it is running, my friend says the roof is simpler in comparison yet I would prefer a pro to do it but the prices I am getting are going to steer me into doing it myself; in my case I got a single story 1350 sq ft home with an L shape roof in 2 sections which measure 80x80; I am told I have 16 sq ft of roofing; ours have 3 layers to tear down and I am gathering info as far as how much and type of material needed; I know I want to put it Laminate shingles from HD Castle Sandstone but not sure yet about water barrier or felp; we are in Las Vegas, Nevada and here it is mostly sunny all year around; roof pitch here is 4:12 I believe and in my roof there are 2 valleys, 2 attic turbines, 4 vents, a chimney, a small round skylight and the AC Unit is on the roof in the center of it on roof 1; roof 2 is the one mostly for garage facing the street. I am not worry about demolition and tear up but worry about how to work around obstacles and how to properly install around it as it is difficult to find here. I would think it would take me about 4 days to do it on my own provided I can get all materials up. I watched a video here in you tube on how to make an electric joist using a 16 ft metal ladder which I have but if I do not use a contractor because pricing with the insurance check I believe I have enough for the materials I need and some tools I may need as well and my calculations are to be around $6000 mark; not sure yet. Another feasible way is to find a lone roof contractor who would do only the installation part with me providing a clean area, materials and help as needed; not idea what he would charge labor. I would be including dumpster as well; by the way my actual shingles are 3 tabs; that is why I will be upgrading to laminate as recommended by some I have already talked to. Any advises for me? I subbed; Thanks!

      If it's insurance you should never do it yourself. I always make sure my customers don't pay a dime and I get enough money to do the job properly. You just have to find a roofer that can do the same. If you're having issues with the insurance company you can always hire a Public adjuster but if it's just a roof that is already fully approved then I would try and stay away from that

    Good video for people starting out shingling. Cutting the wave in the ice shield is necessary, if you don't, you will see it when facing your roof from below. Here in SoCal, we call it 'Fisheye'.
    I made a long comment in the first part. If anybody is interested, check it out, especially if you are in a heavy weather area. Regarding starter shingle, we never extend it by the eve more than half inches, about three eights. Start laying down your starter on the opposing side from where you start shingling. This way you only cut it once. And your first shingle still may need a small cut if keyways happen to be offsett less than five or six inches. You can play with the size of your steps a little bit, as you getting nearer to the ridge it becomes less important since rainwater has less momentum. Chalk line I only use if your eve have more than one beginning, lower or higher sections that needs to be flushed once your on open field going up to the ridge. I ensure that my shingles keep a straight vertical line by extending my shingles just a bit higher, like an eight of an inch so I can see the line of the 'reveal' or also called 'exposure 'that guides me when I lay my shingles down.
    Hope I was clear, if U have any questions, shoot me up.

I'm roofing an old wooden garage which is 20ft long and the distance from the bottom edge of the roof (at the eaves) to the peak is 78" at one end and 80" at the other. I was planning to snap 2 reference lines and the question is should I snap them an equal distance up from the bottom edge of the roof and deal with the difference in rise when I reach the ridge or should I slant the snap lines such that each absorbs 1" of the differences in rise.

I do mostly identical to the procedures that you explained. The one thing that I do different that I would be curious about your input on is I always start my starter on the rake first and then I will run across the eve and that will inherently give me my offset of about 7 in. Let me know what you think thank you.

    I used to run a chalk line with the old 3 tab to make sure they stay straight. Don't really have to do it with the heritage style though. Your videos are by far the most informative I've ran across so far. Every step is thoroughly explained and by the book. I thought I was a pretty fast shingler until I watched your speed shingling videos. Dude you blaze through a 30 square roof in half the time it would take me. A good video on how to roof and flash around dormers would be a big hit. Ive started to see alot of questionable installs that I've been called to fix because the half price cut throat bid was a half assed "handy man" who didn't even have the correct insurance to be performing work on a roof. Also what is your preference on roofing a valley? California, Open, Closed Cut, Woven? Fantastic job bro. Keep up the good work.

    • @gusmarokity6482
      @gusmarokity6482 Před 11 měsíci

      In the valleys, I torch down a half a roll of modified bitumen, of course on roof slopes where I can still walk safely, this way it gives you freedom what type of valley you want to go with, regular straight, or California etc.. I strike a chalk line both sides of valley line where I don't want to nail from towards the middle of the valley.

    Even not being new, I find it's best to do one task to completion if possible. You get in a groove and it ends up being faster in my experience. I'd rather not switch between laying shingles and then going over to do drip-edge or starter or whatever. Better to just lay all of one thing first, then go to the next.

    Good stuff. With the starters, you should always nail as close as you can to the edge without puncturing the drip edge or rake metal. I've seen lots of guys who nail on the top 2" and that's wrong nail placement, the whole point of a starter shingle is to hold that bottom half of the shingle down from the wind, and to cover the seams of course, but if you high nail the hell out of it, it lessens the strength of staying on at higher winds.

      @@sachgohlan2580 You don't think I know that? That's literally what happens with every shingle. The headlamp of the shingle underneath, even though it's only like 2", gets nails in it from the shingle above.
      If you actually read what I said, I said that the bottom half of the starter would be completely loose if you don't nail within a inch of the bottom (starting after your overhang) and thats the only thing holding the half that's closest to the eaves, from wind pulling up on it. Although it's not very common for shingles to blow out at the eaves. That's like putting cap down without any seal strip on the ends to hold it down from the wind.

    • @NWIVeteranConstruction
      @NWIVeteranConstruction  Před 2 lety +1

      yea i try to nail close, but back in the day i used to nail high because i was worried about my shingle seam landing where a nail was. never had a problem with the high nails but yea its definitely much stronger when you nail closer to the bottom. thats why i stressed the importance of the starter being the same length as the shingle. its crazy that manufacturers even have different lengths between starter and shingles. if everything was the same length guys would have no problem low nailing on the starter.

Then there's just some guys who prefer buying the cheaper branded starter to save $3 a bundle, even if the starter and the laminated shingle are different sizes. I get that it can save $50 but that compared to making the installers have to worry about it and having to either cut back and add a starter in, or watch their nail placement entirely doesn't match up and gets annoying haha

    hello there my friend but i noticed that when you snapped out for your first 5 rows of shingles you had said it was 5 5/8 x 5 is 281/4 and your second control line should have been at 561/2 or am i wrong??? you said 28 for the first line and 56 for the second which is it

      Yea what I did was dropped it a little bit so that it will cover any imperfections a new shingler might have. If I made it exact and a new shingler was trying to do it they probably would struggle. By lowering it a little it's more dummy proof and still unnoticeable

    With a correctly driven roofing nail, should you be able to feel the edges of the nail head or should it be truly flush to the shingle face? Nailing guides show the head just above the shingle face and use the term “flush”, but that’s not flush. Same question for roof sheathing and decking nails. Awesome videos and thanks!

    • @NWIVeteranConstruction
      @NWIVeteranConstruction  Před rokem +1

      Sheathing nails usually naturally penetrate a little bit but flush is okay. You can always hand bang one and that's roughly what you're trying to emulate with the gun. for shingles it's pretty much the same but you don't want a crater around the nail. Even with an adjustment on the gun and proper pressure from the compressor, it's hard to get a perfectly consistent nail depth. It's okay if the shingle dimples around the nail slightly but you don't want that crater around the head, that's a blow through and has no strength

    • @NWIVeteranConstruction
      @NWIVeteranConstruction  Před 11 měsíci

      I can't think of many scenarios where you would want to use a shorter nail so that it's not visible, typically nails are going to penetrate all the way through decking and I'm pretty sure most code requires it to. However, a shorter nail MIGHT be the move in some unique situations where there is somehow a finished wood involved that the nails will Penetrate and show through... but typically you would use 1¼ in. Coil roofing nails for shingles, and if you need to secure your half inch decking you would use 8 penny nails or 2⅜ gun nails, preferably ring shanked.

    Sadly, i would think the bubble cutting on the ice and water would fail inspection. You're supposed to lap side edge by at least 4 to 6 inches. When you cut the bubble and stick one side over another the lap is maybe a quarter inch.
    If youre going to cut bubbles i eould think you would have to put a 6 inch wide piece under the bubble, and then lay the two pieces from the bubble cut over that piece.

I was wanting to know how to start if it is straight and then recedes 2 foot and then continues straight, these are usually a over hang or just the way the house is not a square. I am 63 years old and need to put a new roof on but when I have roofers come out and measure it has come to my attention that my roof is 24 sq. , 26 sq., 29 sq, and so on, math is math. Hope you can answer my question even though this video is from 2 years ago. I happen to know my roof is 23 squares.
