You are the best roofing instructor on YT. Thanks for making these. I went from zero knowledge to successfully roofing my own shed build based on them.
My husband hasn't been able to find anyone to do our garage roof, or even just help, so I am about to become a roofer as a middle aged office mom. Pray for me LOL.🙃 Thanks this was helpful.
why won’t he do it?
Well its be a yr..update?@@osvaldo8775
I'm a little late to the party. How did your garage roof go? Did you manage well?
@@osvaldo8775 we did it together
@@TheConcertmaster really well thanks! I watched videos every morning looking at what we were about to do. The next summer actual professionals did the house and I think what we did on the garage looks just as good. I was pretty proud of myself climbing up there with my little hammer and tool belt 😁
Most useful information I've ever received from someone with a neck tattoo.
If a roofer doesn’t have a neck tattoo, I do t want his advice
LMFAOO 😂💀😭
Yes, because having a neck tattoo matters…
Meth. No even once.
😂🤣😂🤣
Fantastic delivery he doesn't beat it up he gets right to the point when he talks he keeps you interested great job
Outstanding job of explaining the intricacies of roofing. I just finished my shed roof with your tutorage. Thank you!
Most Canadians are tough and they work hard. This man gets in there and does it.
I watched several videos on roofing but this one is short and easy. Just what I needed. I thank you.
Agree thank you
True.
Thanks dude.

Now you just someone to do it for ya!
I'm a framer, but my unattached garage is in desperate need of new shingles. Did tear off today and tomorrow I will shingle. Been watching your videos to prepare me and I think they have! Awesome videos, very informative.
Sam Stein I hope they help. Any questions feel free to comment on this video tomorrow and I’ll do my best to help out.
I'm in the exact same boat my friend...this really helped
My son and I are finishing our detached garage roof today. I put it off way too long and the shingles were curling and falling off. Tore the old roof off and there were 2 layers of shingles, no felt paper and no drip edge on the gables. I was glad to find this series of videos. It was very informative.
just finished putting a roof on my carport. I used this video as my tutorial for how, along with the ridge cap and starter shingle. Thanks for putting these out. They saved me alot of money and I know I did it right
Tornado took the roof off our chicken coop here in Michigan. Everything but the roof is done but I've never one before. Thank you for taking the time to make this!! I'm an almost 60 woman and you made it easy to follow.
So far this has been the best and most clear explanation of this I've seen on RUclips.... super simple clear and right to the point I appreciate it
You are a good teacher. Many professionals have a hard time triaining.
Thanks for taking the time to make these videos much appreciated, I’m shingling my one sloped shed roof and I have never shingled a roof in my life
I learned something today. Not from the roofing video. I learned about toenail fungus from the 13 minute add I watched after. I let the whole thing run. I hope this helps with funding. I know it helped me. Now I’m informed about toenail fungus. Very educational >>>
😂😂😂
Thank you, I just half-watched a half a dozen u tube videos till I got to yours,
To the point. Real life professional. Helped me. Dave.
You're out here saving DIY homeowners' lives, my man. Thank you!
Thank you so much for making a simple to follow video for roofing. I'm building an outdoor cat shelter and got some left over roofing tiles from someone, and was clueless how to install properly.
Thank you for the short, concise video. I’m doing my own house trying to scramble to figure this out. This really helped.❤
Thank you for your videos!! I decided to build an enclosed porch myself and the one thing I did not have experience in was roofing. I was able to follow your instructions and I think the roof is turning out beautiful! Thank you for all the tips and little added fyi's from someone with experience and knowledge to help ensure quality and prevent mistakes. There isn't room for error when it comes to the roof or you risk the integrity of your entire project and alot of expensive repairs later on. I'm a single Mom raising 3 boys and I get alot of shit sometimes about some of the projects I do, until they see how well it turns out. I couldn't pull it off sometimes without the help of guys like you sharing your knowledge and skills. It is so very appreciated! Xo Have a wonderful day! Thanks again!
A better way is to divide your shingle is by six. And a better wait to cut your shingles is with an old set of tin snips. And when it comes to your overhang on the other end of the roof, used the Snips to scratch a line from underneath matching your rake overhang. Doing this saves scarring your knuckles and a straighter cut.
I told my husband he should be teaching roofing and gutter installation, he's been doing this for over 60 years and when gutters were still wood. He used to make his own Cedar Shakes.
thx for all the vids, gotta shingle my roof next weekend
Good luck and have fun!
Super helpful, I'm doing this on an 8x10 shed tomorrow. Never shingled a roof before but your clear directions have me confident that I can do it. Thanks!
How did it turn out?
@@randonrobinson great! Did it just like this and had it done in a couple of hours. It rained severely the very next day so I'm glad I did it when I did
@@Paintplayer1 good deal! Gunna have to try this out
@@randonrobinson for sure, one thing I think you're supposed to do which I didn't is overhang your starter strip by as much as you're overhanging your shingles. Might want to make sure on that before you start. I ended up adding some strips of starter between my first row of shingles so that it had an overhang in the crack between two shingles
@@Paintplayer1 thanks for looking out! I’ll make sure to do that!
Thank You. Your video was easy to understand. I am roofing a playhouse turned chicken coop with extra shingles. It's a small job and I'm so glad you taught me what I needed to know to do it myself.
Glad it was helpful!
I just had a roofer give me an estimate. He was explaining to me about roofing but I didn’t understand. This is verbatim to what he said. You know your stuff. I definitely liked and subscribed to your videos!
You dam Canadian’s! Thanks you so much for the helpful video. I watched all them. Most helpful channel out there. Haven’t had to roof in 15 years. Best refresher course I’ve seen in a long time. Thank you so much!
Thank you for posting this, I needed a refresher and now I got to start shingling my shed
Thank you for this information. You are a good teacher, and I appreciate the lesson.
I’m telling all my laborers before they pick up a gun and hop off garbage duty that they gotta watch your videos, very informative and well spoken shit im learning stuff, il point the hacks in this direction too! God bless you Average Roofer a man can get rich listening to these gems your dropping
Thank you bro... My roof looks good! Your videos was my only "go too"..
Glad I could help! 🥲
Thank you.. very simple, informative, and to the point. better than the other videos ive skimmed through looking for this info
Man straight to the point with the right information. Thanks!
Doing the roof on my chicken coop. No experience roofing. This was a perfect video to watch. I didn’t need anything complicated, and you got straight to the point. 👍
Agree totally. First time roofer of a new shed. Just needed the straight dope. Strong work!
Dylan, I think it's really cool you made this video. I know it sounds corny, but I just built my first big sized dog house. I wanted to know how to shingle the roof. I learned what I was looking for. The dog house looks better than my house. Thanks again.
YOUR TUTORIAL IS EXCELLENT, I LEARNED SO MUCH WITH YOUR VIDEOS, THANK YOU BUDDY
Well done video. I'm glad you took the time to show how to start properly. I was confused about 'booking ', but now I have a better idea. Thanks.
Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for. I watched all your videos from underlayment to drip edge. Now, I have the courage to change my old roof. 🙂
Thank you very much for all your helpful videos please keep them coming
Love these videos, very informative and to the point. Getting ready to do my garage next weekend and these videos will help a lot
I showed this to a roofing contractor that said he needs to do a tear off because ewe have had two roofs . Which is the code in California. He offered me a 4000$ discount. We didn’t n hire him. He said the starter was proof of having two roofs. Yet know he knows I know neighbors who do roofs came and did it for half the price and it’s amazingly thank you
Thank you so much for sharing this information I learned how to apply roof shingles to my dog house for the very first time. 🐕 💜🙌🏾
Thanks for sharing the knowledge to general public.
The most easy to follow instructions thanks
Thanks for the video dude, plus it's dimensional shingles like I have and everybody else is showing me how to do 3-tab.
3 tabs are obsolete, everyone should be using architectural as they are way more superior!
Thanks Dillan. Your video helped me out a lot. Well presented, short and sweet.
Thanks for this. I live in New Zealand and we dont often use this product here. I'm doing a garden office cabin and this is perfect for the job. Much appreciated, liked and subscribed.
Best thing I’ve seen in a while. Came across a mancer roof that looked pretty strange.
They nailed too high so didn’t hit any of the lower portion of the shingles.
When nailing the top only like that the only thing holding the bottoms together is the tar.
When that’s hanging on a near vertical wall, they will slide and fall down. They were all over the guys balcony and porch area……
Thank you so much. I'm building a massive duck house and this helped me decide between metal and shingles.🤗
Thank you! No bs. Straight to the point.
LOVE the nail right next to the key on your first shingle. Decided to make a video about roofing eh???
With an average of 12,000 nails on a roof install, you will never perfectly place every single one.
@@Average_RooferNo reason for it. Shouldn't fully nail the starter until you've established where the keys lay on the first row.
IKO ‘s famous 3/4” nailing strip. Gotta love it.
JJS Roofing these are not IKO shingles, they are actually GAF Timberline HDs
I stand corrected. Same 3/4” nailing though. Good video !
I thought they were Iko Cambridge shingles also
Dude, you just saved my knees two years of wear and tear. Where can I send my home states (TN) best 5th of whiskey?...to show my appreciation.
Dude! Thank you for helping me shingle my roof! You rock, great viteos!
Happy to help! Cheers!!
There you go!! Someone that actually knows what the HELL he is doing. I've seen so many so called roofers void any warranty whatsoever by nailing to high!! Nailing above the double thickness will pull the shingle down eventually causing the nail to pop the shingle and leak!!! Or blow off
first video I've seen where so many gems were dropped
This is Ruben from Bend, Oregon. Roof at Central Oregon Roofing COR. Your a fun dude. Bigggg time
Great video. No BS and really informative. Thanks a lot.
Very well explained Dylan!!! Thanks for helping this Jack of all trades (& master of none!😁)!
Great teaching 💕👏👍
I don’t know why it took me like two weeks and 50 google searches but this is probably the best video I’ve found. Thank you!!
This is great! Exactly the instructions I need for my shed roof.
Super informative bro! Thanks I actually came across BDR looking for some guidance on dry rot, you guys are awesome!
Jake cozzz Thank you, I’m glad I could help!
Good job man! When i get to the end i'll flip a shingle around and put it flush to the rake starter and then cut it from the inside and flip it back around, i personally think it's a little easier then cutting at the rake shingle by shingle or snapping a line down it and then cutting, if it's a little short the rake will still be straight because of the starter and if it's a tad long just grab a cut off and sand paper it lol, nonetheless either way works.. keep up the good quality work bro!
Jeffery Demoss that’s how I normally do it myself as well
How do you like the stiletto, thinking of buying one but want someone else's input that has used one.
Ryan Annear stilletto is a good hammer due to low vibrations in the shaft and very light weight. I personally don’t like them as I like using the weight of my hammer to drive mails, the stilletto forces you to use more of your own strength.
@@Average_Roofer thanks for such a quick response buddy! I'm a roofer myself and am currently using a steel hatchet that I love. For the price it doesn't seem worth it, plus I cant seem to be able to order a stiletto from anywhere reliable lol. Thanks again man
Ryan Annear no problem, the only thing nice about the stilletto is the weight. Easy to carry in a pouch all day. In my opinion that’s about it 😂
looked everywhere for this!! thank you.
You’re welcome! Glad it help! 🤙🏼
1" in from the edge .
12" in and 12" again then 1" in from the end
FOUR NAILS.
6 NAILS FOR STEEP ROOFS OR IF YOUR HOUSE IN ON THE WATER.
Eamon Augustine
I actually show my nailers/workers that the hammer their using measures about 12 to 13 inches long.
Lay that down from the edge of the shingle and that’s where you nail in the centre of the shingle .
Great instructions, Mr. Average Roofer! Thank you!
I’m a first time viewer, on my third video today. Good content. Brief, to the point and informative. 👍
Thanks to youtube, I have a desire to install roofs and pour concrete.
Outstanding and you didn't make me feel dumb like some DIY videos do...
You explain it so good great job
Good comment and a good and easy way to install the shingles without creating a leek.
Great, simple and to the point. Thanks
Okay, now I’m watching a 51 minute add so I can learn how to lose weight. I wanna look lean and ripped like AR and BDR without having to resort to...Roofing!!! Now I’m an expert on ‘Leaky Gut’. Thanks my friend.
Keep it Average everybody >>>
I was so glad to find this. Thank you for the great video.
No popping lines? I remember doing few roofs with guy in Kansas and we popped lines
Keeps the rows straight, I've seen guys lose a row.
Not for a small deck like this lol
Sure saved mine 🤣! Thanks for the videos! Much much much appreciated.
I had no idea he even had a channel, awesome!
This video needs to be forwarded to the "world's fastest roofer" video posts.
GREAT.👍
We just had an new arch shingle roof put on in September of 2020. There seems to be some type of machine press issue. I wish I could attach a photo. But some of the little squares on the shingles are falling probably 30-45 on a average size home. Our builder is offering to replace the whole roof but says it won’t actually hurt anything - more aesthetics....we haven’t even moved into this house yet. It’s almost ready and this was just discovered.
This is a manufacturing defect, and although isn’t 100% going to cause issues it could potentially shorten the life span of the roof.
If they are offering to replace it, I would definitely have it done to protect the home in the long term!
Maybe mention to your builder to contact the shingle manufacturer to report the defects and they may even help cover the costs.
I hope this helps!
Your Average Roofer
Thank you!
We are going to tell him in the morning.
This is exactly what we were concerned about.
We want it to last- plus we are in tornado alley. 😬
Gracias from Texas
You are welcome

Thanks for explaining it so well.
Excellent video, good job! Thank you so much. I will use the 6 nail method regardless of code, I have high winds.

Once again, impressively detailed, straightforward, and very helpful explanation. Thanks!
When nailing a shingle at the edge of the roof, do you need to nail a certain distance away from the edge of the shingle to avoid water wicking under the edge and following the nail down?
You have the best videos! Thanks for all of the info! Do you have any pipe replacement vids?
Well done looking for a refresher .Great video
Thanks! Roofing a chicken coop and this was needed.
I remember the first time i worked on a roof, shingling. I went up and had my carpenter’s square with me. The boss said let me see that square and proceeded to throw it off the roof, then said loudly “We’re not building pianos up here”.
Thank you!
Great videos man. Thanks. Had a few questions and you answered them perfectly. Thanks 👍🏻
Thank you!Thank you so much!!Just what I needed. I thank you.
Dude I just happened across your vid cause I'm roofing my shed and we've got the same last name 🙃
Does everyone mispronounce it? Awesome video Ty
Everyone I've ever met in my life has said it wrong haha
thank you I watched this and the starter shingle video. short simple to the point. im from lake elsinore ca
Straightforward good teacher
Thank you.. I've been reviewing all your videos because I need to redo my shingles on my shed....I do have one question ? How do you decide on replacing your roofing sheathing ? I looked inside my shed at the roof sheathing and they are places that looked 'very dark or almost black ' looking' ...Thanks again for your videos..
Very simple ! Thanks for the demonstration ! 👊🏽🍻
Unbelievable
..
He's hand nailing.
I love it. in this day and age he's seating those nails perfectly....hand nailing takes forever. that perfect nail position and nail head seating so well that he's acheaving is impossible with powered nailers. ..
Powered nailers are 12 times faster... At least
Thank you, I have to do a shed by myself.
Love your videos could you give the size of the 4 shingles you use to start the 5 rows I see a full shingle first and I think 6” off the next one how about the next 3 Thanks Phil
It would be really great if you could make a video on how to properly stagger architectural style shingles on the side of a cottage style roof. It seems that staggering them in 3 equals causes a lot of ends to align since the side sort of causes for lack of better term..a moving target.
I can definitely do a video on that. The best method is one full shingle, 2/3 of a shingle, 1/3 of a shingle and repeat
@@Average_Roofer oh okay..ill give it a try tomorrow. Couldnt get up there 2day. It seems the weather knows im off so its raining here in Sudbury constantly. Snows a comin soon...gotta get her done up.
Not all shingles lay that way. Theirs a 3 part step a 5 inch step or three tabs a 6 inch rack. Presedentual 3 part shingles have to lay out from left to rite and have to be laid exactly to the dimensions
@@Average_Roofer did it in thirds like u suggested...worked mint! Thank you. Did my garage right afterward which was a regular roof and followed the manufacturers instructions.. and it wiorked great too. U really helped me out man! Thanks. Btw..i find way less waste on these new shingles. U can cut them any length and not notice it from the road. The old ones had to be cut in a specific spot. Anyhow.. thanks again from sudbury. (No leaks yet) 🤟🤟
@@mikeclark5421 gd to know. Thanks. I guess i got lucky with these cuz cuttin them in thirds worked great for not having seams one on top of the other or nails too close to edge.
