Have you used valley trusses before? I have and they are not fun! I would rather build a roof as shown in this video.
If you know all the right tricks roof trusses are a breeze.. I've probably done hundreds of them and I've ran into issues In the beginning and have since learned how to start off right and what to do to avoid complications.
We do it just like you man!
they always come square on the bottom and I feel like it looks like shit and is not as good as rafters cut to fit "tight" by a framers standard.

Dude- I stumbled upon this video just this morning and I gotta tell yâall, for years Iâve fought valley rafters cuts where itâs taken me all day for a simple 8 rafter overbuild. Today it took me less than 4 hours. Holy crap! Thank you for posting this informational video. You explained it all so well!

I appreciate your comment Chris! Good luck with your projects!
Hi, I just wanted to take a moment a thank you for this video. My Pastor and I adding a new addition to our Church and the addition is going to have two valleys in which neither of us have built before. This video and a few others really helped. Thank You.
I'm no carpenter and building a roof has always been a challenge for me, but your explanation, has helped take some of my doubt away. There's a lot of information covered in this video, thanks for taking the time to show us how it's done.
Thank you for posting your how to content. My wife wanted a peak addition and your video made it happen. Thanks for helping the do it yourself non-professional.
Definitely one of the best instructiontional videos I've seen. This was the way I learned to build my own porch, first time ever building one! Couldn't have done it without this vidio, very thorough. Thanks!
Man, let me tell you so many videos out there trying to show you how to do things. But this one is the real and perfect explanation of how you do it. Great block of instruction. Thanks
Yeah thanks a lot for watching! Be sure to subscribe and more content to come
Great video. Don't give away all the secrets. I've been framing for twenty years and this is where the basics start. Nice work. You've inspired me to vlog my next project. 24x28 garage build.
I love doing the Vlog. Itâs lot of work but fun.
This helped me so much with the degrees & pitch on a addition im doing now. Thx alot on ur video. Looking forward on watching other videos on house building. Stay safe.
Thanks so much for this video!, building my own house and this helped a ton!! Thanks again for sharing your talents, it has blessed my life.!
Thanks for this. As an apprentice carpenter, when cutting these rafters, I've been given all the measurements and angles by the journeymen, but no one explained where they get those angles from. You do a great job explaining why to use the angles and set back measurements.
Just attached my new addition to the existing house. Never could have done it without viewing this video. Thanks so much!!!
Iâm glad I was able to help you! Good luck with your other projects!
I really appreciate the video. It made it much easier to frame in a California this afternoon; Iâm a bit rusty and missed a couple cuts, you saved the day
Iâm glad I could help you. Good luck on the rest of your project
Excellent video. Good audio,good details and explanations. Best video on You tube on how to frame that type of roof. Great job!
Currently 22 yrs old and got into framing when I was about 18, I run a small business and sub contract for gcâs. loved this video I had an idea but needed reassurance man you got yourself a new fan. Thank you so much.
Welcome to the channel! I made this channel to help others and to hear others ideas as well. Thanks for watching!

Nothing hard to fix
Awesome refresher. I built a couple of these on mobile homes a few years back with my dad (he was a framer before I was born). But it's been 7-8 years since I have and he cant physically show me anymore. Wish I had paid more attention lol but just watching this video definitely rang some bells. Awesome work, looks good.

Not a lot of people take their time to show details like this because they and also me want to get it done and no time to mess around with cameras and editing and stuff. Iâm always curious about building roofs and tying in old roofs because I want to build an additional one of these days. I did roofing for my entire house before by myself so i think I can tackle this myself. Thank you for sharing the infos. Iâm subscribe and saved this video
Thanks for all the great video's,
I just built a roof over my existing front porch very similar to the one you built in the video.
With your help it turned out great.
Iâm glad I could help you! Good to hear a fellow DIYers in a project turned out well. Good luck on your next project and thanks for watching!

Awesome lesson! I am trying to get an Aprenticeship here in Los Angeles. So far no luck. But I will keep trying!!! Meanwhile I am learning things on CZcams. BTW, If anyone needs a rookie in the LA/OC area Iâm ready! Tools are new and ready to get dirty! đđ€đ»đȘđ»
Hang around outside the Home Depot first thing in the morning. Contractors grabbing supplies might just grab a new apprentice.

One of the best videos ,and explanation I've seen ,
Thank you Tony!
Great video, like the way you explain your steps đ
Thank you Eddie!
Love the video. You build more like I do than most videos I watch.
Actually, the best way to find what angle a pitch is is to look at your speed square. Set the square on the pitch and read the angle below.
Maybe we have the same teacher LOL. Thatâs good to know about the speed square. That is the best tool ever made! Good luck with everything!
i use my phone
I think I just found the best CZcams channel.

Great video!
Awesome job
Thanks for the information my man you rock
You are welcome! Good luck with your project!
Finally someone has explained how to layout the frame work. Iâve watched a ton of videos and none have showed the hole process as you did. Itâs my first time doing this. I plan on going over the shingles on the old roof. I trust this is acceptable. Iâve seen videos of it being done.
Im glad you found value in this video. Roof framing is hard work! Im glad you were willing to tackle it! Thanks for the comment!
I had my roof replaced as part of an insurance claim due to damage from a pretty wicked storm we had come through here in Oregon back in 2021. The contractor did indeed roof over roof to even up the ridge line as one of the additions came down to a âVâ shaped valley of sorts behind the garage. Only problem is he didnât continue the main attic for access, and no idea how he did it.
Other issue I discovered is that instead of putting the new underlayment and the ice/water barrier on after putting the plywood sheething on over the shiplap, he put the the underlayment and the ice/water barrier over the shiplap, then the plywood sheathing, then did the shingles directly to the plywood. So later today, their General Manager is sending out a different project manager who replaced the one that was fired to take a look and fix it under warranty. The one who did it originally bragged that he had over thirty years of experience as a roofing foreman. đź
FYI for anyone curious about the cuts on the top and bottom of the sleepers -- as an alternative to scribing, set your framing square to the roof pitch on the tongue, and the rafter length on the blade AKA body, and mark the top with the tongue and bottom with the blade. Top is square cut and bottom is set to the roof pitch. Its the same as the sheathing angle.
I found your video after doing one of my own almost exactly the same here in the UK.đ We must be brothers!!!đ€© Great job explaining this and not easy videoing at the same time.đ
Great minds think a like. I figured it was kind of common practice. Thanks a lot for watching!
@@TheExcellentLaborer Its so cool to see you do it the same.đ
That is cool!!
An easier way to find the degrees for the pitch of your roof is using the speed square, the marking for the pitch will have a corresponding degree mark at the bottom. Thanks for the video!
Yes check out my speed square video! Iâll show you how to do just that. Thanks a lot for watching!
Just came across your video. Itâs very informative. So, I subscribed
Job well done!
Thank you!
Thank you for the video! đ
You are welcome!
In general, itâs standard to oppose rafters when installed. Keeps them straight-ish
Excellent work
Thank you!
learned alot thanks !
Dude excellent video.
Iâm here to show you the easy way â thanks great video.
Nice job đ
I used to build houses (20 years ago) AND this brings back memories! I can confirm this is exactly how it should be done. Thank you for the informative and accurate video!
I love talking to carpenters with experience. They know so much. Thanks for verifying my accurate video! I appreciate it.
