![HOW TO ROOF A HOUSE! [DIY]](/img/1.gif)
Finally a video that shows the actual nail spacing. Thanks. And thanks for not being afraid of making mistakes on video. It makes it more informative and believable. Perfectionism is amateur. You’re a pro
YOU HIGH ?
Watching you cut the starters to expose more of the tar line, I do that too! Also I was taught decades ago to save the grit in the bundles to mix with tar or silicone to cover the last nails on the cap or any exposed nails in the field!
When I started shingling in 91, three tabs were the thing, we snapped 5 inch lines all the way up the roof. Perfect every time
Back in my day, we rode wagons all the way to town and was a minimum of two days to haul material back….
Back in my day we skinned our enemies and used the skins as roofing tarp. It was good because back in those days, every one was 5 foot even and we didn't have to worry about using silly things like squares or tape measure
They always have to over compensate shit to up the pricetags .. Three tabs are just as good as anything else. No one is staring at someone's roof.
@@garycasper2929Where I'm from, three tab shingles do not last on a roof too long due to high winds. This shingle is more wind resistant. It's a quality upgrade.
Back in my day we put mud on our shanties out in the sticks and boonies.
Great informative and funny video!
That was great! Fun too, I'm roofing a 10x12 shed with a steep pitch I need all the tips I can get!
awesome to see how you fixed your mistakes on the fly like that. super cool.
This is how I prefer to do it, too. Starter up the sides, too. Love it
another fantastic video!! I appreciate all the tips and tricks. Solid work..
Nice bro. You make it look easy. Throw out a video on recommended tools & equipment needed for roofing .
Ok will do
@UCZ1aHxokZM5cBM_DY83w54w you are a not good Shingler no other comments necessary
Nice man I'm a veteran too. Thanks for this.
Thanks for the video. Learned a lot.
thank you well taught video. awsome
Hooyah!! This video just cleared up a ton of questions I had from your larger scale videos. Thanks for doing it.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video and technique. You make that look so easy....I've never shingled.
Thanks for watching
Good video thanks for the info, hahaha the end
I’ve been following you so long, that you can make a poster for the barber shop with all your different hairstyles! Saw this pop up and said: “man, never saw the Travolta guy before…”
Haha
@vereran construction, your videos are very helpful, I appreciate you taking the time to show us the steps.
great stuff, Semper Fi
Great videos I wana learn this so bad
I don't know if you have time to answer this question. My roof rake on one end is less at the eave than at the top of the gable rake at the ridge it's 15° on the other end there is a dormer. Im thinking instead of cutting the starter shingles let them over hang the rake as i work up and cut them every five shingles. Thanks great videos
.
Very simplified break down of how to do it!
was shooting for that. detailed and to the point
Thank you sir really enjoyed both parts !!!
glad to help
Good roofer. Gittin' er done.
4 nails is enough. Wasting 25% with 5. And no shiners. Reloading less often
I put the factory end on the right rake. Nail it and make the cut on the inside end.
Make all my cuts with an old pair of large tin snips. Try it you might like it
You're welcome
awesome jobs
Best video on roofing I have seen. Learned so much!
Great to hear!
This was hilarious. I’m 21 just about to re-shingle a part of my house that my dad did when he was 24. From what I uncovered when I stripped it, he definitely could’ve used this video too.
love the video... ❤❤
Thanks. Part 3 of my most recent roofing series is a little more helpful if you're still looking for tips
Were are you located? I'm asking cause we need a roofer to do our house. were out in California are you out here by any chance? I think ur videos are great and helpful you sure are great at explaining ... I found myself watching alot of ur videos... You have charisma,and are attractive. That's a plus.😉☺... sorry didn't mean to offend you by saying that.
But there's no way that I would be able to do our house myself.@@NWIVeteranConstruction
I appreciate🙏 you taking the time to really explain things. @@NWIVeteranConstruction
I apologize for my last question...😞@@NWIVeteranConstruction
I’m putting a new shingle on a old shingled roof Do you recommend using starter shingle
Thanks a lot man! Attempting my own mini barn roof replacement.
Great video.
Vetter then all the rest!!!
Right on!
Great work,
100%.
I'm up at the top 10 of roofers, 100%. However me and me roofing alone as a one man army does not cut it.
I dont even turn a profit. And by now I should. Fml.
I love roofing though.
Work never stops. Calls all year round.
With Certainteed Landmarks and the Certainteed swiftstart starters they are the same length which is nice
I find most brands are like that. GAF seams to have made their starter to fit their 3 tabs and not updated it. Don't quote me but I heard the official solution is to start with a half length, but on a long run it will still catch up.
Was just gonna say the same!!
I start every gable with a starter, which is a out 8inchs and start my starter stager like that
So many ideas on how to do the same thing, I've watched 5/6 different roofing videos, all good but all do things slightly different
Thanks for showing us how to shingle....It would be nice to have a tar line at the right side also.
Are drip caps fine to install after the fact? Roofer that did our roof last year butchered the gutter ends and now gutters are leaking between gutters and fascia.
We dont used eave metal,
2inch into the gutter.
Makes perfect protection.
And most gutters are 5inch can still clean out easy.
I get over hanging starter on gutter apron. Over hanging on drip edge isn't really needed. It already overhangs by an inch from the facia. I know it's about preference, but I don't get overhanging drip. Run your starter flush with the edge of the drip, and run it. To each their own, I guess.
Thats what I do. They bend over and break off over time with overhang.
At 10:07, does meeting that bottom shingles together cause risk for a leak? Would anyone opt to overlap or would that mess things up. Granted I know nothing about roofing
i have a lot of roofing experience but i learned a lot!
you'd definitely enjoy my 3 part series then. especially part 3
if you learned anything from this was not to do what he does.
@@carlsmith4767 a lesson ive already learned is to avoid wasting my time arguing with arrogant boomers
I'm trying to patch up my roof but I had no idea how to do it, great informative video ,new sub right here
I have a video on that! Super detailed and worth a watch. Check it out
@@NWIVeteranConstruction I'll look through it, thanks 👍
I always use the storm nail it's just routine for me but it doesnt help when it's that high it should be center of last and next nail.
i hear ya
With the shingles now is not necessary is really just habit for me, and I honestly dont even shingle but 2 roof a year anymore I do more steel roofs and sidding
what size roofing nails do you use in the eaves so they wont shine through? Or how do you shingle the eaves when there is a 1 to 2ft overhang so there are no shiners?
Nice!
You know I'm gonna send it!
Could you run your first starter up the rake?...butt the next one up to that running along the roof line...first shingle is a full one...seems the easiest, to me any ways.
It's what I usually do. It only works if the starter is the same length or longer than the shingle though. Otherwise the step will shrink like he mentioned and cause you problems
That is what I always do, but that only works if the shingles and starters are the same length.
yes already answered that question here somewhere. not a bad move i used to do it.
@@Lonestarexteriors ..right...if they were a different length...you wouldn't have to run the first one up the rake...as far as I know this was the first time the question on this video was asked.
That's the way I do it, and have been doing it forever
When trimming shingles to start your runs, don't worry about making your cuts fancy and wavy like this guy does... just make 'em straight. 🙂
Damn I've never used the bottom half of the ridge piece as a ridge starter like that. I usually place a bead of tar there instead. Not a bad idea though.
Perfect men thanks
Watched both videos beautiful dude so would you use like a ride cap on the top or just shingle just like you did?
Ayyye the camera man is getting a lot better...lol
Dude you are so awesome! Thank you so very much!
Awesome bro
And I have seen that bostitch gun alot are they worth the money for quality to spend on one?
Can see a closed valley and a woven valley? Great content!
Thanks for the content, Zack
yes sir no problem
That's a nice roof color 👍
It is!
would love to see a video like this for a hip roof
Only thing different is that you don't. Have to put starters on the hips just the bottom. Then run cap up the hip the same way. Cap the hips first then the ridge. Frist cap on the ridge gets sliced from the center of the tar line out to either the top or bottom depending on preference, so that it can sit flat against the three sides it touches
I'll be making one soon. It's part of my plans for the build on this
Oh or a thigh roof
assuming water shield is better than paper, outside of expense is there something wrong with using ice and water shield on the entire roof?
Well for starters, it's kind of a d*k move to be honest lol tearing off the shingles on that is no fun, entire roof might need resheeted next time the roof gets tore off. Also, even in icy areas, most roofs that were done well didn't have ice problems on the eaves before so the ice shield is just an extra thing of protection. It's just unnecessary on a few different levels, unless of course, the pitch is 3:12 and lower
Awesome video!haha Perfect ending! Doing my first roof tomorrow on my shop. Thanks for the knowledge!
Honestly this guy is terrible
I don't see any of those starter shingles in Home Depot nor Lowes, so I just turned my regular shingles upside down for a starter shingle, then put another over it in the correct position on top. I'm using the old fashioned three section shingle.
You have to go to a construction material place like beacon building products or abc building supply
@@NWIVeteranConstruction Thank you. I've already started and have half my roof done already. I'm old so I only get one square down by 10 or 11 Am, then I come down because it gets too hot and the shingles start sticking together too much. I don't think I've seen either of those two places in my area.
@Robert Karp there should be a private distributer within an hours drive, sometimes lumber yards will have stuff like that. but if you're doing it for yourself then you're fine using an upside down shingle
@@NWIVeteranConstruction Thank you. My biggest challenge has been two roof jacks, both for AC Connection that are close together that a corner of the flat part had to be cut off to clear the upright part of the other. I've had a hard time shingling around those two properly and I know what I have there now is going to leak. So I'll have to go back and try something different. one of them isn't hardly a pipe coming up. It's a small tube for the electrical to pass through that is much smaller than the opening of the boot. They are open ended boots, there's no rubber seal around them. Tomorrow I'll be working with a couple valleys. I worked for a roofer in Arkansas in the Mid 90's for a little bit, just enough to get me into trouble now.
The capping trick when starting is nice ima have to start doing that's thanks
Could you bring your bottom vertical starter right to the eave edge and butt up the first horizontal starter to it to get proper overlap?
Yes
very nice
Thanks
what shoes do you wear to walk on the roof as flat ground without slipping?
Honestly best Roofing Sneakers are Jordans.
One thing I notice is that you don’t ever put bull on the drip edge. Is it not required over there? It is where i live lol
Tar? No not required I think that's a Florida thing
@@NWIVeteranConstruction yeah, I live in south Florida lol. That makes sense
@@NWIVeteranConstruction we have buckets of “cold tar”
GAF.........Mr. Lipinskiy must be laughing his Nut off. There's an old saying, " anything looks good from an airplane ". Right?
Can you come and roof my house in Pensacola FL? Lol great work!!!!!
Might cost a lil extra for the flight and hotel lol plus licensing and all the extra codes Florida has
But if you got the doh bro I'd be down lmao
Thank you, for these 3 parts of real man/world knowledge.
My roof is very similar to this. so awesome reference material for me to fall back on if needed, and to show my helper when confusion may start to set in.
Have a great day, rom Miracle Beach BC Canada.
Молодец красавчик так держать ты просто красссава ты мастер своего дела.
Hey, did you just use your fingers as a stop for your nail gun, and if your starters is shorter then your shingle just cut the thing in half you'll be fine
Why are the nails so close to the front of the tile above? To my mind that just gives the rain an easy entry.
what do you think of the dewalt 20v max coil roofing nailer
I was told 6 nail is standard now, to prevent wind damage
i'm sure it is in your area but i haven't heard anything about it. the tar upgrades have improved so much that i don't really think there needs to be 6 nails everywhere as a standard
Dude, your hair is looking awesome!!
thank you lol
weird how the starter isnt the same length, the shingles and starter we use are the same, i just cut about a third of the starter piece off to start with, and then run the rest full length,
More shiners in this video than when you combine dozens of his videos hahaha
lol facts
@@NWIVeteranConstruction what’s the non hillbilly way of repairing or covering shiners? Is there a standard fix?
@@calebwhite6173 pull the shingle and put a new one is really the only good way. Or maybe remove the nail, loosen the shingle from the bottom and put color match caulk underneath the shingle where the hole was so that caulk oozes out and you can put granules over it
@@NWIVeteranConstruction alright fair enough. I was taught just caulk over it and the granules over top. It’s a bit excessive to replace the shingle unless you really mess it up haha. I like the different methods so thank you. It will definitely come in handy in the future. One other thing I’ve been taught is when looking for a leak look for rusted nails and it usually leads to the source of where waters getting in. These videos are great and make me really excited for this work. Can’t wait for summer!
@@calebwhite6173 I won't tell you that right... but I also won't tell you not to do it lol 😜
Is this install standard for cold weather and snow.?
I install the same in low Temps. I try to avoid temperatures under 40 but sometimes it's Gatta be done. See my newest roofing video for a better break down.
Does anyone remember when certainteed landmarks came in a paper package? The way you're installing them makes it look terrible. Solids over solids 5 courses up? You gotta put opens over solids! Love it! And now it stands out like a sore thumb. Especiallly in the field when you get like 6 or 7 of em! Looks terrible. It only takes a few seconds to grab a different shingle and that's the mark of a Craftsman.
The best thing to do is read what the wrapper sa
You would never get your roof done if you did it with the shingles they make nowadays
Just wondering- I’ve been working as a labourer for a roofer for the last couple weeks, rather than cutting the shingles as he lays them, he just lays a full shingle and shifts over about 6 inches each shingle going up, and then goes back and fills in the gap afterwards. Does anyone know if there’s an advantage/ disadvantage to doing it that way or is it just preference? Thanks!
I recommend doing it as I did. You can precut them, cut them as I did in place, or hang them over the edge, to each their own but you're gonna wanna be right in this realm otherwise you're likely wasting time or creating more work. I have a RUclips short on why I create my stair step like this
@@NWIVeteranConstruction right on man, makes sense. Thanks for getting back! 🤙
Most shingle packs have illustrations on the back of the package....I would follow those instructions.....👍
but arent the tabs supposed to line up nicely on the vertical ?? it seems kind of random
What? Tabs? These are architectural shingles. They're supposed to be stair stepped just like this
Getting my roof done here in Chicago in a couple of days which shingle should i get Landmark vs Duration!???
Either or. I prefer gaf over em all but the o.c. will probably seal better in this type of weather
Speaking from experience more a science book. Landmark might seal better idk really but if you're doing o.c not as well pick a variation color like storm cloud or sumn. Same price and can match really well to your house if you get it right. Most are in stock at beacon for sure
I was leaning to getting colonial slate but storm cloud looks bad as which one will you reccomend for Gaf?
@@EdgarRodriguez-eu1pc all depends on your siding and fascia. You need to match that. It's not just about a color looking nice it has to go with the house so I won't be able to tell you.
Zach how much caulk if i have alot of the nails in seem,some non covered nails too due to no chaulk lines used.if i get 7 yr from my new roof i think itll get metal over all .just did as good as i could.again nails in the seam was something i found difficult to deal /w
mmm. i've tore off plenty of roofs with that going on that never leaked so i wouldn't sweat it that bad unless there's a problem. its just a good habbit not to nail there.
@@NWIVeteranConstruction my wife said same thing,i spent a few summers tearing off and not so much watching either,little installation tho
Get a roll of trim coil metal cut 4x6 squares and put them under seams with nails. A dap of caulk will hold fine.. If you don't get 7 years out of a brand new roof then I would suggest hiring a roofer next time. But you should be able to do somepreventive maintenance and get at least 15 years
@@projectpat2262 ive dabbed roof tar on nail pops,that metal card trick is a great idea no one ever suggested thank you
You don’t have to do stair steps right at the beginning, you can finish your first row then cut 6 inches on the second and so on, this way you know exactly how short you gonna be at edge as you go.
You cannot get in a rhythm that way. That works for flooring and siding but not roofing. Check out my most recent roofing series. Part 3 specifically. I think you'll find it insightful, it's performed very well and one of the few videos I'm proud of 😂
You guys have too much fun, doesn't seem like work. See ya in part 3!
Do you ever fold the top shingle over the ridge?
In the past yea. My old foreman used to do that but I don't usually
Lmao and btw that’s some hack shit having a shiner and putting a piece over it so u can see it and so it lifts the shingle up lmao once again that’s funny how about takin some tar off the tar strip and wack it on the nailhead basicaly welds it over the nailhead
What nail use for the roofing
What happens when you get to the last run on your ridge and one side is running an inch and a half off because you didn't mark the whole roof off.
Never happens to me unless there's multiple people shingling. Even then. Not an inch and a half off. Would either leave the top row off just incase or several rows and cheat which ever side is higher down gradually
@@NWIVeteranConstruction fair enough. I been going behind some shotty framers and it's not uncommon to be off an inch from fascia to ridge. So I've been making my guys pop 6in lines all the way to the ridge. Just curious how it works out when not measuring it out. But looks good man
@@projectpat2262 we get started then with 6-8 rows left measure and shift if we need to do they match. Can do this from the start as well and just measure every few rows or more. Depends on how large the project.
Would it be possible for you to do a video on the mathematical process on figuring out how many shingles you need for a roof or how many sets of shingles you need and I don't know I was told to follow this RUclips channel by vandermeer roofing if that name rings
That's nice of him I'll have to check him out. I have a video on that from about 1 yr ago. If you stick with it it will make sense. Pause the video and take notes because triangles get tricky. Squares though are easy, length x width. I usually round up to the nearest foot and that accounts for scrap
I don't think he does RUclips videos it that's the name of his company
I have a question I just recently started doing construction and roofing with vandermeer roofing and I'm curious do I need to focus on buying the necessary tools and setup I need for the job before anything else or I mean course bills come first
@@taylorricker4600 depends on your position in the company. If he sent you my way he must like the way I work and want you to take notes by watching my videos to speed up the learning process. You should be Killin it by mid summer if you pay attention. Watch my speed tips and trick video. "Less time same effort" in the thumbnail.
@@NWIVeteranConstruction one more question then I'm going to bed the rules and regulations for the roofing for each state I know they're different for each state but are they different for each county
👍👍👍
Btw u gotta cover up the tar line on the cap lol I could go all day
You’d be great to work for. I been roofing for a few years and I’m also a carpenter but I’d still enjoy learning from you a lot. I feel it’s hard to find anyone that matches my work ethic these days but you clearly enjoy the grind as much as I do. Oh and I’m jealous that you don’t have to use tar on shingles.
This guy is actually a terrible Shingler
@@stevechamberlain570 what is it he does wrong then ? I bet you do not know and i bet you never been on a roof before
For your short edge,
Pick a shingle with a 3-4inch single on the end and under lap a piece.
Works so good
What kind of blade are you using to cut the shingles?
What would putting that little piece of tile on there.
Now you know who not to call factory on factory is best but I barley did it how many mistakes on this little section than transfer that to an entire roof if u use the force running the shingles up why not the ridge cap it's the same principle
Didn’t even know you own a pouch.! lol
Oh yes lol where it all the damn time. Just not when I shingle a walker lol
I'm not a roofer but those nails look awfully low? It looks like they aren't covered very well by the shingle on top of it
LMAO damn bro what happened quarantine got you all fucked up still enjoy the videos don't stop with them
nails are too low no the line any ice build up will follow the nail in
this is supposed to be a teaching video but you keep making mistakes and saying don't do this or I shouldn't do that !!!
uh huh. i get it from all angles. everything i did here is a result of learning or being told a better way to do. manufacturer blah blah everybodys got an opinion
Customers pay a whole lot of money to have their roof done and now it kind of make me wander if your roof is going to leak down the road?
If you nail any higher the nails won't hold as well and would eventually become more of a problem. His nail patterns are perfect!
@@projectpat2262 his nail pattern is trash every shingle has a nail by the seam 😂😂
The only correct nail pattern is 1 2 2 1..
Unless it's high wind then you 7 nail and any of "hdz" shingles you still NEED to nail into the laminated part of the shingle for at least 5 of 6 nails
you must be in florida or something coz thats not the case here in indiana
I have about 8 years of experience as a roofer, hire me, I really want to work for you! Please take me to work!
Lol where you at?
