Thanks for watching! 😃
So, I’m a 65yo widow and nobody to help me and no contractors who are interested in such a small job. I’m going to fix my shed roof myself, and this video makes me think I can do it.
Awesome, Lynn! Let me know how it goes! You can do it!
Yes you can, The Fixer did it with one hand .... Lol...!
So Lynn did you do it?
@@engleharddinglefester4285 Let's say I made a great start at it. When I started getting higher up on the roof, I found out that the plywood under the shingles was totally rotted out so I ended up having to hire someone to replace the entire roof. Otherwise, I could have done it myself with no trouble. My lines weren't perfectly straight, but they were very spot on. The shed police did not come calling to tell me what a shoddy job I was doing. Overall, I was very pleased with what I was able to do.
Talk about a independent woman
As someone who is currently on their fourth year of roofing, I would suggest not following the drip edge instructions on this video. A simple rule for doing and exterior work, roofing included is "whatever's above goes on top" by having your paper under your eave drip edge any water that gets under your shingles will run down your paper and get caught inside/under the drip edge rather than going over and into the eave. Please do all metal edges first, also for your gable (side) drip edge, it should also be placed on top of your eave (bottom) drip edge.
Actually depends on code in the state you are living in. Northern states put it first, but I believe hurricane states put it after because it helps from high winds getting under the paper. Just go with whatever your state recommends or if it's your own roof roll with whatever you feel like as it's going to be you yourself having to deal with whatever issues arise later. To be honest I live in a hurricane state and I put my drip edges over my paper on my shed that I built 3 yrs ago and during a direct hit from hurricane IDA with gusts over 170 mph I didn't lose a single shingle on my shed 16X16 and no water was able to get under the paper. So basically I am satisfied with my own decision at the time of putting on the shingles. 🤷
I’m not a roofer but I have roofed, with the self-adhesive ice/water shield. I think it’s vinyl drip edge first, then adhesive ice/water shield up to or slightly over the edge or overhang, then the starter shingle 1/2” past that, covered flush by shingles. Hope I’m right!!
I think the only exception is if you double layer one under the drip and one over. Other then that I agree. Water and ice should go over drip and the underlayment should go under the drip of the rakes
Bottom drip edge, then paper, then side drip edge
@@operatoreng May have gotten lucky too.
Thanks for the video, as a novice, I had no trouble shingling my 10'x12' shed.... Just had the house roofed, and had the roofer leave me enough to do the job...just needed some dripedge and nails. You made it easy to follow and understand.......did the entire project in 2 days....and would revert back to your video for clarification, etc... Thanx again!!
Why wouldn't you put the drip edge that runs length wise under the paper? It seems that if water did get behind the shingles, it would run to the drip edge and go under it not over it.
That's correct. The bottom edge only, the paper goes over the drip edge. On the sides the paper goes under the drip edge.
When he cut the drip edge ends, the gable side should overlap the soffit side. He has the soffit side overlapping the gable. That will cause water to leak underneath.
You are 100% correct!!! He made some mistakes, but when you're learning, that will happen.
You starter strip got cut wrong you have to leave some of that tar behind so it holds the first shingle down real good especially in the high wind areas
Watched this a few times. Finally roofed my 10x10 shed. Wife Approved. I thank you. Tremendous help
Awesome to hear! Happy to help!
Your started strips don't even have any tar on them to make sure you have more durability from the wheather
Hey! Thanks to your video I just finished my first roofing job ever of my shed. Came out great! Thanks you!!
Knowing I will never do this (myself) I watched it anyway and enjoyed it. You always make these projects look easy but, I know better than to actually think that😳👍 Thank you for sharing.👌😎✌
Bottom under top on Your metal laps. When cutting starter strips your supposed to leave the tar strip.
(1)Trim 6" off starter strip (2) full shingle (3) trim 6" off shingle(4) trim 6" off another shingle. (5) use your two cutting offs to finish your stair step
Thanks! Simple, step by step. Easy to follow. It's clear that you know what you're doing!
Ok, roofing my shed and used your video. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. As a single mom, I have to do everything myself and I look for these easy videos to help me out. Thanks again!
Thanks for letting me know, Danielle! Happy to help!
Thank you for this video. Doing my shed and got to the caps and thought I had the wrong package until I saw where I need to bend the caps back out of the package to make the individual caps. 🙂
Thanks for your instruction. I've reroofed two of my sheds the last 2 years with your video & getting ready to reroof a third and fourth sheds this spring. Huge help!
Awesome to hear, Peter! Thanks for watching!
I’m getting read to do the roof of my shed and you’re a life saver. I feel confident that I can do it
Wow! You're a great teacher! I need to re-roof my shed and was worried I couldn't do it and was afraid I'd have to hire it out. But no I feel confident I can do it. Thank you so much for showing us how!!!!
I loved how you explained in a very fashion how to accomplish this task. Thank you 👍🏻💪🏻
Slightly handy. Watched this video twice and just re-shingled a shed. Thanks for making it easy!
Thanks for making this video! I re-roofed my shed with a friend and it was very helpful.
The drip edge should actually be about 1/4 inch out from the fascia board.
Really? Never knew that. Thanks for the info!
Glad to share. Great video besides that!
Just finishing up the roof on my 10x20 garage because of this video! Thank you so much for the detailed walkthrough! Two tips to anyone going to try this. Rent and air nailer and rent a dump trailer for the cleanup!
I was impressed how detailed you are on how to shingle a shed roof. I will be doing that myself on a 8x12 shed. Thank you so much for this video, it helps a great deal. This will be my first time doing this
Hey, Cynthia! I hope the video helps you out! Thanks for watching!
Drip edge needs goes under the felt paper on the eves and on top of the felt paper on the gable ends. Pull the drip edge away about 1/4” . I like to nail the top 1/3 -1/2 of the drip edge.
Awesome video very helpful I plan on using every suggestion and tip when I attempt to replace the roof of my shed.
Awesome to hear this video helped you out. Thanks for watching!
thanks! going to re-roof a shed this week. I didn't know that I could buy caps separately. great time saver.
Just the info i was looking for, thanks for taking the time to make this video. It’s really going to help me out
Nice! I'm exiting waiting for you new show!! Thank you for share!!
For sure! I am looking forward to it as well!
Great video, thank you. All the other videos done by home depot or other big brands are too fake. They dont show you step by step in the real world. Yours is the best by far. Thanks again
Awesome to hear. Thanks John! Hope the video helps you out!
Perfect simple and fun thank you I’m ready now
Thank you very much for the info in this video. I need to do my spare house roof and decking. And this will really help.
Just followed your directions, first roof I’ve ever done. Directions were great, thank you!
That is great to hear! So happy I could help out! Thanks for watching!
same and it was not that hard
Great video! Thank you for doing this!
I did shingle a roof on a bunkhouse once, by myself, with no prior experience. I just went to the hardware store and asked the guys there how to get it started and then I guessed at the rest, lol. I really appreciate all the details in this video. I wish I had seen this before doing that roof. I would have done a better job. Although, it still doesn't leak and it's been about 10 years.
Sometimes you just have to go for it! If it isn't leaking I guess you did it right! Thanks for watching!
Very informative video. Can’t wait for the next one!
Thanks for watching, Cheryl!
Brother thank you for taking your time to explain it slow and on point am getting ready to do my shed roof and I believe that based on the simple way you explained it I will be able to get it done. Thanks again and be blessed.
No problem! I hope the video helps out! Thanks for watching!
Love your channel, thanks for all the great videos! I'm not a roofer, but I learned a few things while working on mine that seem like best practices:
6:35 carpet blades cut a lot better than normal ones
5:25 I agree w/ the other comments about leaving the tar strip on the starter course. The nails will hold it at first, but over time I think it'll cause unnecessary wear. It doesn't take any extra time/money to leave it, so why not? You can also buy pre-cut starters, which saves a lot of time for folks who don't already have scrap lying around.
20:34 Placing the ridge cap so that the flaps aren't exposed to the prevailing will make them last longer. You can also do a starter cap w/ tar strip to hold down the ones on the edges, just like the regular courses.
22:35 Covering those final nails w/ roofing cement should help prevent leaks.
Just finished my shed using this as a tutorial. Very helpful.....Thanks for posting!!!
Awesome to hear! Happy to help!
My friend U R DA MAN!!! Thanks!!!!!!!
Thanks, Ron! Happy to help out!
Shingling the shed as I type this. Great video thanks for the advice👍
Hope it helped you out! Thanks for watching!
I built a shed with these plans from Ryan [ Details Here?> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ] . The instructions were clear and easy to implement. Even a novice can be able to build fast using this plan. I'm happy I bought the plan. It also saved me much cost.
i love how easy the plans are in *WoodBlueprints. Com* to understand and the step-by-step videos they have. Makes getting material really easy
Just watched your video. Confident enough to give it a go! Great video!
Great video! You took your time to explain every step. I feel very confident now tackling my shed roof this spring! Thank you!!
Should you leave the tar on the starter piece?
Absolutely leave the tar on, this is amateur hour.
Great video. I'm a framer but I do believe I can shingle my shed I built. Thx!
Awesome to hear! Hope the video helps!
Thanks, much easier than I thought it would be.
I'm getting ready to make my own shed and this video will be of great help. Thank you!
Great video... thanks very much.... first attempt tomorrow 🤞
also I would suggest using a 5 cut stagger. it gets rid of the need for this weird overlapping stagger he uses. the cuts are as follows. cut one shingle in half, thats your Halfer, then cut one shingle at 6-8 inches, then cut another shingle in a middle length between the small cut you just made and the halfer that you have, probably around 12-14 inches. then you will have a 6 inch, 12 inch, halfer, the cutoff from your 12 inch, and then the cut off for you 6 inch. that is five shingle lengths. put your second halfer aside and use it for youyr next stagger/ladder starter. then its just biggest to smallest, full shingle then your 6 inch cutoff piece etc. until you get to the 6 incher. it will eliminate the need to have to lift up your old shingle and fit the next under it. you will need to go across your bottom to bring up your next row before you can continue higher. Remember 6 inches is the minimum for shingles to be together. if you have a small or large cut and the space/gap between your shingles is 5 or less inches you will need to either skip that shingle in the stagger or cut another to replace it. also one last thing, for your last cap/ridge cap piece, turn your factory edge to the outside so that when looking up from the bottom it is a clean factory line rather than you cut line, you can alos snap a chalk line across your ridge to keep it straight. Thanks for reading, hope you have a great day
Or you can avoid all this complexity and just get a metal roof. It will last at least twice if not four times longer, is easier to install, and cheaper. It may not do well with hail however.
Good job in keeping it clear and simple...good editing too.
This is perfect. Thank you so much! This helped me a lot. 👍
Awesome 👏 very satisfying to watch😉👍
Thanks for watching!
Good video good volume light sound etc but we put the fascia drip metal under the roof paper with a start strip having an exposed tar strip. The strips running to the peak goes over paper and then water can cascade.
Good tip! Thanks for checking out the video!
Great video, so just to be clear are you using 12 inch cuts and full shingle sheets (with the cut pieces to finish the right side?) I've never roofed before and I am roofing a chicken coup so I appreciate your feedback. Thank you
I can totally do this now. Thank you
I’ve done a couple sheds and well houses. I’m considering doing my house kinda on the fence to do it myself or pay to have it done
Thanks for the great instructions. My shed roofing starts tomorrow!!
Very detailed explanation. Thank you. Will Start on my roof today.
Awesome! Good luck, let me know how it goes!
I said the same thing about Fecking rain! Lol! Nice video I subbed.
Excellent video, thanks! Gonna strip and re-do my shed.
Can you do a video on how to sound-proof a bedroom wall and install the dry wall? :)
man, I just did my shed exactly like you showed. great instruction. I'm from, England and we don't have these types of roofs - its either a single length of asphalt or tiled (clay or slate). now i live in America!
at 2:55 when cutting the drip edge to go around the corner also cut that little 45 degree kick out on the bottom of the drip edge. Makes it look more uniform and not have that kink in it from being stretched around the corner.
Very Good Teacher
2x4s clamped to the facia is a great idea to save the drip metal from getting bent by the ladder. Makes a solid standoff for extension ladder. Good video.
Thank you for pointing that out! Hope the video helps you out!! Thanks for watching!
Nice job! I appreciate the focus on working safely.
I felt like I was watching a how to fillet shingles video for a minute. Made me think of the how to fillet fish videos. 😂 Awesome video it helped a lot! Thank you!
Thanks you sir , it's help a lot for my shed house
Great job
Thank you 🙏
Lots of good tips for roofing my garage! Had the house done professionally because it's an old house with a steep pitch I don't trust. But garage should be good. Maybe the only time I'll ever be disappointed it's a 2.5 car will be while redoing this roof.
Also if no one's ever told you, you sound almost exactly like Andrew Rea (Binging with Babish).
I always thought the starter row should be upside down with the tacky strip exposed so it can bond to the first row of shingles, preventing wind from getting underneath and lifting?
it is, not sure why he didn't cut on the opposite side of it.
Because he doesn't really know what he's doing.
Appreciate man!
Great video
Thanks for this, very helpfull. Where i live its very windy and i see alot of these tiles or shingles loose or even torn away by the wind. How can i prevent that without having nails everywhere?
I learn something thank you 😊
Awesome job bro
So i always thought you were supposed to nail on the tar strip and it would act like a glue to keep the nails watertight. Is that a thing?
how about leaving the glue strip on on the starter piece so it attaches to the 1st row???? I learned that already.............
I agree, you need the glue strip so the shingles stick to it from the heat of the sun.
I had the same suggestion
I’m building my wife’s dream pavilion (a solid roof over posts). We have talked about corrugated metal but the shingles appear to be cheaper, about half the cost. So I’m here, next task figure out the roofing. I have 2 valleys too. I think I prefer the look of shingles.
Subbed lol doing a 10x12 tommorow this vid helped ally
Very well done. My dog thanks you for her new dry house!
You made it seem easy and I'm sure I can do it for my horse run-in.
I think I can try this now.
hey buddy awesome video!!!! why did you run the side starter strip over the bottom for water runoff? i noticed it was tucked under the original starter?
Nicely done!
Thank you! Hope the video helps if you needed it!
Thanks 👍
Thanks for this video... it was exactly what I was looking for.... minus the F-ing rain! 😂
Is it the same process when doing a barn style roof?
SUBSCRIBED!! ur thoughts on using PT wood ?
The reason visualization is so powerful is because as you create pictures in your mind of seeing yourself with what it is you want, you are generating thoughts and feelings of having it now.
Doesn’t the drip edge on the eave go below the underlayment?? Over it on the rake?
Yes.
Actually no, it goes over the felt.
@@Polarbear5353 Actually no, it only goes over the felt on the rake....under the felt on the eave...except in FL. It's the only state where under the felt is acceptable on the eave.
Jeff S you’re right- I actually have a book that speaks different from my AAMA CERTIFICATION. But clearly when I look online- it is different. Thanks for the correction....
Yo fixer, you got any tips advice/ video for handling perfectly pyramidal hip roofs or top ridge type hip roofs (garages) where it comes to smart strategy for shingles at / over / from the four ridges for a good install or less waste or good look? GAF instructions and GAFs yt video makes me think theres some special sauce missing from their instructions for those points im wondering about.
It just so happens that I got a free shed from my neighbor It's in really nice shape but the roof started leaking the rainstorm before last We moved the shed into my yard It is a 10x15 and it needs a roof I also have roofing material left over from when I had my roof done So I will be doing that this weekend I enjoyed your video very much and thank you for your time and knowledge
Im about to do this to grandmas shed. Thanks so much for the video.
Good luck and try to have fun! 😁. Thanks for watching! Hope the video helps.
Seems simple enough. Got a side job to replace a ladies shed roof. Very informative video.
Good luck! Hope it helps!
Liked and subscribed! Best video compared to all the 'how to shingle a shed roof'.
Got all the info that I need, ready to reroof my shed tomorrow, thanks a lot👍👍
Awesome to hear, Ken! Hope it helps you out. Good luck!
it's nice and detailed instructional video. thank you much.
Thanks!
Do you have recommendations for metal roofing or a video on installation you’d recommend?
Check out R&R building on RUclips
Thanks 😊
Forgot to sub😊
Do you have to cut them? With artitecual shingles can you just nail them? If dont care about pattern
Great job with this video. Very easy to follow and understand. Just have 1 question. Do you need to cover the last 2 nails with tar or flex seal on the last ridge cap piece?
I definitely would. If not they'll rust and could eventually leak.
