This is just a friendly reminder KZfaq has almost everything

Actual career roofer 6 years. just a few things, great video thought it was very informative and great for DIYers definitely if you’re brave enough to do you’re own dang roof, but couple of minor things I noticed. Wouldn’t call them errors just this is my career 4 tab asphalt shingles and I’ve spent many a year on the roof. first few minutes right away the drip edge (metal flashing he installed) should be an 1/8th to 1/4 inch out from the plywood on the bottom to allow the water to have more distance when going down the roof maybe to feed into a gutter or at least away from your ply wood as sometimes the ice and water won’t seal perfectly and you have that room for error. After that the ice and water, installation was good. I do recommend depending on the slope securing the underlay alittle more with more staples or ideally nails from your gun if you intend to stand on it when you cut your ice and water back you lost me, you did overlap your paper but that seems to be about a 4 inch overlap which if you’re not using the adhesive on the top of the ice and water paper which is alittle faster to stick does make me nervous. I’d leave the ice and water paper at least a couple feet in width and then do my paper over that not worrying about the minimal size difference as the shingles will cover that so it’s unnoticeable assuming your underlay isn’t full of bubbles. Paper was good, again you’re making me nervous standing on it with so few staples but it’s on the side of a house and only a few feet up so 🧘🏻 I’m calm. Appreciate that you went over the ridge with your paper, seriously so good🤣 Did you just say you fired a guy for smacking his hand with the staple tacker??? I’ve got over half a decade of just straight roofing nothing else and I do that at least once every few weeks. Apprentices will do that a few times a day🤣 hard core man. The side flashing is interesting but I would have used the same piece as the drip edge and wrapped the corners at a 45 because if you don’t caulk that at the end of the video your plywood’s gonna get hit What are you doing with that starter??? Are you going to cut a little 2 inch strip of starter for the sides?? Why make it more difficult on yourself there? Good video. Works well for your first roof ever

Love it No fluff or over talk...EXCELLENT!!!

Thank you for information, would like to find someone like you in my area. Time to have my roof redone. Keep up the great content!!

Muy bien explicado, gracias por compartir tus conocimientos

Very good explanation. Thanks for sharing. I got to get back to laboring and recording!

This is a great video!

I can feel this guy feeling the camera watching him. And I can relate.

Super helpful man, no b.s., to the point. Was a huge help this past week. Thanks so much 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Perfect👍

Yeah Man ... plain and simple. I love the tools you use. The hammer is dope. You speak clearly and that's really appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for the video!

Awesome video man! Something I've learned for dripedge is to slightly bend the end of your metal inward with your hand for the overlaps and it helps to keep it from flaring out, works for eves and rakes (florida mans alternative to making the 45 cut, cause code calls for a 3'' overlap on all dripedge). Code here calls for everything opposite of what your doing too lol

Thank you so damn much for showing proper gutter apron/drip edge/ rake edge installtion! Literally every single roofing company in my area 45s regular drip around to the eave and all on top of felt. I've seen hundreds of roofs this year and 1 had proper drip edge installation.

I just started a position as an Exec Asst to the President of a roofing company with no prior experience. I type proposals for him all the time. This is helpful.

THANKS FOR THE VIDEO... VERY INFORMATIVE. TWO THUMBS UP 👍🏼👍🏼

Another great video!👍

Thanks man this was real helpful I've been watching soft but they leave out most of the good detail section need to start the roof

10”! Immediate thumbs up for including the joke!

Looks good!

Great line. “just the way she likes her men…no less than 10!!!!!”

First! Woohoo!!!

@VeteranConstruction Soo glad your video showed up! I'm always having poultry "dumped" on my place and carpentry is NOT one of my stronger skills. Funny I've been trying to build some coops to house all the animals and still haven't managed..Currently some simple in trailers I bought with boards on top..and YOU build a structure to shoot an educational video! Anyhooo...I subscribed! Hoping it's as easy as you make it look! Thanks from a Nebraska Farm girl!

Good work

Great video. Right to it the right way

Thanks for the video

I professionally build training materials for corporations to use for educating/training employees on processes and this video is VERY well done. 👏👏👏 Keep up the great work on uploading educational videos.

Check out the flow, love the hair dude hah!

Thank you finally a video step by step how to prep a roof

Cool video, when I do my starter I start my gable one first and get my overhang on the side gable plus bring it down on the each so it has the over hang on the side and the eave, then I but my first eave starter too that gable starter, might sound confusing but it looks good too.

The 10 inch joke made me check out the comments!😂

You are so professional you explain everything clearer!!!😉⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯⭐⭐⭐👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

THank you for your service man

My gpa would always make me roof w him he was so harsh w me i had to learn to roof thats what i thought as a kid now being an adult im grateful for his teachings to survive and i could actually say im not useless in this world

Nice pouch!

I figured out my self this neat trick on making drip edge look nice and continous. Seeing drip edge like at 9:24 just pisses me off. First squish the end that goes over a bit (all roofers know this) 2nd bend the corner with the kick out a little extra with your index and thumb kinda like you wanna make a triangle bend mark. More than half the time the overlaps come out beautiful you can't even see them

This is very helpful I start on Monday I’ve never roofed before

With the new synthetic felt you can staple just the top and bottom. Keep the staples out of the feild and no more leaks, YES it will hold you. Try it and thank me later.

I understand that how slick it gets

Thanks for showing the steps.... wish i saw this before i started the roof.. but its done.. but do I enjoy watching,, looking forward to part 2.... I should have sent you my roof sketch for questions.... i see my mistakes Thanks again... no one is ever to old to learn....

I learned more on this video than working for almost 8 months with guy really don’t wanna teach me Now that I started practicing what I saw here they say: I taught you the good way to do it

I've been interested in becoming a roofer, this is very insightful !

When are you getting to rafters and hip roofs along with the slats for cedar shake.with a chimney in the middle of a flot top on a hip

Great video, straight to the point! Can't seem to find part two though. It's always nice if you add a link in the description to the next video.

8:45 Greatest part of the entire video! 🤣 Probably hurt a lot of little fellers feelings on here 🤣

Thank you thank you

You should use your knuckle on your finger it’s a whole lot faster than chalk line for your starter and usually I put my first starter piece on the edge metal side then I put my starter where the drip is at that way u can put a full shingle or start your books immediately if u want a demonstration let me know. And I promise I always come out straight

No less than 10 babyyy

Good

Wow! weight loss looks good!

I definitely need this video I have to redo the roof that my ex-wife’s husband put on top about the shittiest job ever he didn’t even stagger the The shingles instead he made a nice straight line all the way down the roof.

Shout out to the spider at 8 minutes in the video, dope information very helpful

FIRST!

Nice work, could you write down step by step what you do and also nail size and staple size please.

I cover the ice and water with paper so it’s easier for next guy and easier to walk. Tearing off shingles from some ice and water is impossible. They become one.

Starting my roofing job tomorrow...

@5:50... You can set and trace "ANY" metal with the oils on your finger tip.

I like the old school tin snips.

Are you licensed in Illinois? I need a total roof tear off and replacement. I live in Steger Illinois.

I watch all your videos and just want to thank you for all your knowledge. But I just watched another video that instructed to put the ice and water under the drip so you get coverage on the front 2in of plywood ya or na?

try Epilay underlayment Zack! it rolls out nice, cuts nice, you can walk it, it is pricey! but we LOVE it!...lots of grip in wet weather!...recently our supplier went with this "star wrap" brand....it just SUCKS! the salesman said "the guys LOVE it!" it is TERRIBLE!...lol...Epilay is good shit! along with the IKO system will NOT fail!

On the rake, you could foils the extra drip around the sub facia band. Keep in mind when the gutter comes in behind the drip edge, this keeps the water that comes down the edge of the rake from getting into the facia seams that come together at the corner

Had a roof repair for my grandparents. Kept saying this is how zach would do it

great video! Do you have to install a drip edge on a split level home where the roof edge runs into siding?

Great videos. Question: I’m getting ready to reroof my house. I have 4 valleys total. Do I start in bottom corner and work into the valley or shingle valley first and work outward? I’m planning on using 2 cut 5 row method that I’ve see you use. I’m planning on using closed valley method.

Zach, please make a video showing how to apply underlayment to an angled hip roof. Does ice shield go over the hip? Do i cut the underlayment as it comes over the ridge to lay flat on the hip? Ive got a roof line like a typical gable, but the rake side has a tapered third side. Similar to a pryamid.

I strip my drip edge in with ice and water on the bottem and the top, I live in a area where the snow and ice cause problems on the bottom edge

The metal needed overlap. Alltime

when installing starter stip along the rake are suppose to overlap or butt up

Could you treat the wood under the flashing to to prevent rotting.

👍👍👍

what are all these material called? drip edge? flashing? roofing felt? starter?

i like your videos, do you have your own big company? or do you get houses from companies and give work to your crews or crew? ( like an LLC)

My first day of roofing I woke up an hour early and here I am 😅

On the ice and water the sticky side goes down the bottom to stick your starter strip down on the Outer Edge by the gutter great video though

depends where you are. it goes under the drip edge in florida.

Love your video's, why are some starter strips half width (skinny) and some I've seen you install full width (fat).

What kinda hammer is that i want one for myself

If you put the rake starter on Frist an butt the bottom starter to the rake starter u can start with a full shingle rite off the bat cuz that starter is what 6 an some change wide It mite even be 7 but with that style of starter that is how I always do my books

Would love a video on how to do hip roofs

I learn

thank you for the video. when i can use the ice & water berrier? and when i will use flat roofing underlayment ? can i just use the ice & water to cover all my roofing ? thank you

Do cap nails help at all for ice and water & felt?

complete noob here. i have a question. initially you covered the whole roof with the ice barrier but then around the 3:40 mark the ice barrier is only for about a foot from the bottom and then you covered the whole roof with the synthetic felt on top of that. what am i missing?

In Colorado we are required to use cap nails or cap staples in our underlayment it also voids the warranty on most synth felt

thanks for this nice video, can anyone tell me what is the first black layer is called ? i know the second layer is called roofing felt. thanks

So if your doing more then what the ice and water covers and your using paper up the rest do you lower the paper to the bottom of the top laminate?

yup! no less than 10!

Everyone in the comments I guess is an expert when it comes to KZfaq lol

that drip edge metal is for foam roofing !

Do you have to put ice and water on the roof rakes?

“I saw a guy staple his hand one time, good thing he’s fired” 😂

Do you think you could do a slated roof? I'm in Scotland and only ever use slate or tile for pitched roofs and single ply or torch on for flat roofs

Read the instructions before you put ice and water shield down. Some manufacturers want drip edge on after ice and water shield. Which is wrong to me but some call to do put over top tho

Were can we buy that great tool hammer?great job ,big man ting,big man ting

Why don't you run your I&W over your drip as a full run?

can i still use gutter apron if the gutters are already on the house im just replacing my roof not starting a new project

You got a tool belt on ....

spider at 8:03 i would've ran away for sure

And here I spent day after day hand nailing caps on my synthetic felt, per the instructions 😫
