Finally, a properly done valley. You're part of the 1% I call roofers. The rest are shinglers who cut corners to save time/money at the expense of quality. I also suggest using "W" valley flashing.

Thats a beautiful and thorough presentation..thank you for sharing..

You dont know how much info your video has given me. A million thanks.

An easy old tip: Longer "straightedge" lined up further out along drip edge will ensure an accurate projection toward center of valley.

Hey, thanks for taking the time to share this!

Great info thanks for sharing! You have great teaching ability and a chill personalty.

Thanks for the awesome content! I just started roofing again. Its so fun and leaves you so tired!

Awesome content! Super clean craftsmanship.

all in all a very informative video! one thing we do and maybe its over kill! we add 3 feet ice and water to both sides of metal valleys as well so that nails seal nicer also chalk line going closed to open from top to bottom, maybe old school way i dont know.

👏🏼🙌🏼Cool knowledge for the community! 💪🏼

Thank you for your time and knowledge

Thanks! Very helpful!

Thanks!😮 Craftmanship!

Great presentation, thank you Sir.

Really helpful. Thank you. G

awesome. thank you

Thank you brother excellent video

Great video thanks for posting

So true. When I started roofing in the early 80s it was with some old timers. It was get to the shop at 6am. Then strait to the bar till 10am. But no drinks for me.

Great stuff!

Great we have trade schools for HVAC, Electrical, Plumping and Carpentry but not for Roofing I hoping soon I can find a vocational trade school for this particular skill set. Great video

Do you have a video of two open metal valley flashings intersecting? (gable roof)

where do i get a video opener like that is there a online store for that kind of stuff

Well we add extra tar sealant under the cut shingle ends (near the valley center), since we dont use starter shingles in the valley. Dunno if it's overkill or no. What's your opinion?

Thank you so much

Hey man, your videos have saved me big time on roofing my house. What do you do for a valley that meets a hip?

I would recommend ice & water shield underneath, cementing shingle edges as well

Informative video! I did commercial roofs in Montreal for 10years and I’ve done a few shingles roofs here and there and I was always shown to use pitch underneath the shingles near the valley… Don’t now if that’s the best way VS your way or not… I’m a bit of a perfectionist so just gotta know! I see that you used three fingers to measure your distance between the center valley and shingle edge… is that code or a good rule of thumb?!? Here’s another video suggestion if it’s not done already…. I’m planning a job for family in two weeks and they got an 10" insulated chimney going through and was wondering about the flashing if I install it underneath shingles the same way as Maximum vent?!? Thanks

At 3:07 to cut the end of the metal flange, wouldn't it b better if u cut say 3" more outward, then bend the edge over the drip edge so water won't back up under the flange? Great video. Thx.

At 7:06 - Starter strip. Is that strip something special (don't sell at Lowe's) or can it b upside down regular shingle?

Easy to see ur a craftsman

Awesome info! On the next one, can we plz see how you fold, lay, or cut the valley metal at the top?

Just a tip . Get some red handle right hand off set aviation snips . A lot easier and safer to cut those longer cuts !!! 🤘

Is metal code in Canada if you do a closed valley?

Awesome

I read that you have to nail only the upper part of the metal sheet and avoid nailing lower because the of the dilatation of the metal sheet would get the nail out ?

(2:20) It is better to pencil the bottom end of the W-Flashing from the bottom side, not from the 'guess' work where the roof-facia edge is from the top.

Does anyone know how to straighten a run of shingles it measures from peak left side 63 1/2 and 65 in middle and 63 at far right I know I need to pop a line but how?

Dylan, 1. what is the brand and model number for the black sheet under the metal flange? 2. Is that rubber based? Self-sealing against nails? 3. Shouldn't the metal flange b primed n painted (even if Galvanized) B4 installation? Pls reply

Hey dilly, can you explain to a non roofer what exactly the starter shingles do? And are the ones that come as a roll any good?

I get the impression that you don't like the " Speed Valley " Is the technique you used, a better option ? and why? Thank You.

You have great videos!! Can you show the valley tin fold over at the peak and I know this may be a dumb question but do lay tar paper over all the ice and water because I went to re roof my house and shingles were all stuck to the ice and water!! Not good😕

I personally do speed Valley unless the book isn't good. And starter under the valley I do. All depends on what you are working worh

Why would you ever run drip edge OVER the ice barrier or any underlayment?

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Do all valleys need metal?

Nice

At 13:58 can you explain what would be done to finish that off I don’t see another video explaining it

Awesome stuff a bit dizzying might could use some more stabilization

Great "maestro"! Once the valley shingles are installed and cut, is there any glue to use for keeping the shingles resting on the metal valley to be loose? Like your way to teach! I am your new subscriber 😊

Never run your Valley over your starter strip. You have just created the first kink in the center of that "v" Valley by installing it over the starter . That will be the first area that stress cracks when the roof structure expands and contracts over time. There is a reason why "W" crimp Valley is the only way a Valley should be installed, it strengthens the metal in the center and allows it to expand and contract.

Love this in 14 and want to be a roofer

Wouldn't it be better to install the 'roof line' membranes over the valley membrane? Install the valley membrane first?

Shingles should widen out as you travel down the valley because there is more water in the valley the further down you go.

Can you do a closed valley just like this video??

Starter strip should be wider so you can nail to outside edge of flashing

I prefer the closed valley on my roof.

Why don't you over lap the shingles up the valley?

Adding starter in valley is key to help water diversion seen no starters in valley's as of late this has been a key tactic for years don't know why guys are getting away from it!!

Closed valley?

Dilly where is the California valley lol!!

How come you couldn't nail the end yet on 13:55

Currently having a new roof put on. These guys put on an entire shingle (5 nails) with a nail gun in the time it takes you to put in one nail. Not a criticism, just a comparison in time.

Personally have never seen the starter in the valley trick to use as a straight edge when doing a cut valley. Must help out a lot vs using a chalkline after. Do you think using a a old three tab would serve its purpose too? I want to get into doing cut valleys with doing your trick but some guys won't agree to using the extra starter or shingle in the valley

Your drip edge should be under the ice and water I like the way you cute your starters back I like raping the metal around the drip edge so I don't need nails where there is a potential ice back up Thank you for the tips and trades

Leave a bit to fold into the gutter.

What do you call a roofer at 9 am. Drunk.

Where is your "W" crimp in your metal valley.

Without watching the video, i went straight to the comments , to read all the armchair quarterback replies of why "that isn't the correct way" . I was not disappointed 😂

Where's starter under the metal u should definitely have one under metal unless there is and I can't see it

U hiring ?😂

My roof is leaking, I waited to long to re shingle.

I think it is better that you took down those bdr videos.

Word to the wise.. whenever a guy says it's not a big deal normally it is... don't listen to this dude... if you don't want rotted fascia or decking in a few years just keep the starter crossed without trying to be cool like this dude... if your going to cut the starter like that you may as well not have any starter... dude just defeated the whole point of why starter is put they're... so now instead of having starter protection you only have a single shingle protecting the valley... I'm sure this dude will comment on how this method is great but don't bother cus it's horrible.

Shingled wrong

You move your head too much

WTF kind of trash valley metal is that? You should be using "w" valley metal
