As a handyman with a bad memory, it's nice to have videos like this to have my memory refreshed from time to time. Thank you and nice job!

9:30 Rather than cutting all of those shingles of various lengths to stagger the seams, it is easier to start with the first row from one side, the next row from the opposite side,and keep alternating. Then cut off the excess. 5:15 roofers will install the shingle upside down for the starter strip instead of trying to cut the shingle in half. Much easier that way 3:21 tar paper already has lines on it. No need to use the tape measure. Just use those

I referred back to this video multiple times as I was making my first attempt at roofing a new shed that I built. Your instructions were clear and concise -- and the new roof came out fantastic!!

I really like and appreciate your videos. And your work, very thorough without a bunch of gabbing. 👍 you do nice work, that particular shed looks fricken awesome! I'm building one now that will be my mancave/shop, I just may change my design now to have small windows under the eave facing west. Will make for some good lighting playing pool in the evenings 👍

your drip edge: you created a place where water goes under at the corner. always make the bend at your cut so overlap is from top to bottom like the shingles.

Thank you for this! I have to redo my single sloped shed roof because of water damage and I see when I installed everything 12 years ago I made mistakes now that I see mentioned in videos. For some reason the manufacture stated to cut shingles flush with drip edge and everyhwere I'm reading is saying you should have at least 1/2" overhang. My drip edge also wasn't installed like how you showed so that was another problem I did. Oh well. Live and learn. At least I caught it before the damage is too great.

It seems like every state has different building code, some say drip edge on the rake of the roof is installed on top of felt

Are starter strips on rake edges not important? They seem to be the manufacturer recommendation for the shingles I bought

I've seen mixed suggestions for the rake side drip edge. Your video and others I've seen say to put it on top of the tar paper. This Old House has two videos where they put it under the tar paper along with the front edge. Anyone know the argument to each one?

one method is often recommended by manufacturer, the other is by the code in some states. pick one.

Is there anything wrong with cutting the second row in half?

@SteveBueche1027 Жыл бұрын

As an ex- union roofer, shingles shouldn’t be used in less then a 4/12 pitch. Rolled roofing should be used. This prevents water weeping and ice damming.

@kolinhammerstone3946 Жыл бұрын

Shingles can be used on any pitch, ofc not always recommended but it doesn’t require a rolled roof

@misterlyle. Жыл бұрын

As shown in the video, the minimum pitch is 2/12, but of course 3/12 would be better; all of which depends on local code. Here in Florida panhandle, production homes will have roofs at 3/12 or better. Ice dams are not an issue in the south. Shingles with less than 2/12 would only last if roof cement is used extensively (and probably won't pass inspection).

@2006mrderrickh Жыл бұрын

Nail size? 1 1/4?

@misterlyle. Жыл бұрын

Depends on local codes. In hurricane-prone areas of the south, the roofing nails have to push through the deck and be visible in the attic. This prevents them from pushing up over time.

When trimming shingles, why didn’t you consistently use multiples of 6 inches? Instead, you trimmed 6 inches off the 1st course, 11 inches off the 2nd, and 17 off the 3rd.

@AndrewThronImprovements Жыл бұрын

I thought the same thing when I was doing it, but the manufacturer recommended the semi-unconventional trim lengths. Thanks for watching!

He’s doing a shed, not a house. I’m in Jacksonville, fl. If it’s under 150 sq ft, there’s no permit or inspection required. Some people just want to know how to put up some shingles diy for small things, like a well house, dog house, tree house, shed or chicken coop.

Gotta love builders these days that don't use any ice or water shield let alone typically leave off the drip edges too lol People will buy anything as long as the 💩 is shiny. No ventilation, interesting. Now wait for the moss to grow! Lol

Hey Shane - This was actually my first lean to shed roof install. I welcome your thoughts on what could be improved for the next one. More than anything, I want to set people up for success on their project - so any info you can provide to help others out is appreciated. 1 year later, no moss.

@misterlyle. Жыл бұрын

@@AndrewThronImprovements Nice work on the shed and its roof! Moss on the shingles is surely a region-specific issue. I suspect the amount of sun exposure is a factor. Here in the Florida panhandle, there would be no ventilation required if you insulated and sealed the area under the roof. Some homes have this, with expanding foam used to insulate under the roof deck. The attic is then within the air-conditioned area of the structure.
