This has been the most informative video I've seen so far. No one else explains what, how or WHY they're doing things and you do. Highly appreciated!

Best roofing video I've seen. Super informative and incredibly helpful.

I feel like I’m a certified KZfaq roofer after watching this video. Lol jk. Very informative, you’re great teacher. Thanks for sharing.

I will be re roofing my garage next weekend and this video has been incredibly helpful! I will be checking out some of the others on the playlist. Thank you for explains everything so in depth and also talking about some dos and donts that other people have not mentioned!

Thank you very much for taking the time to show the step by step method of how you roof a house. The detailed steps you showed very very important. I am roofing a shed today and this gives me the confidence I need to dive in and do it. Thank you!

The attention to detail for a successful roof install is explained perfectly, thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!

Appreciate you taking the time to film these. This has been one of the best roofing demonstration videos i've watched, very simple and informative. Thank you again sir!

Good stuff man. I'm impressed. This will help my husband do his first roof on his shop. Thank you.

I've watched a lot of roofing videos. From my perspective as total non-expert... Yours are the best. very detailed and easy to understand. Thanks.

man, salute to your guys' hard work and teaching public at same time. thanks for sharing.

I've watched dozens of videos on the subject and this one is the best. Thanks for spreading the good vibes.

Man yall are the absolute best for making this. THANK you so much. I have to add a slope to a flat roof and I'm trying to do it myself to save some money. This is sooo helpful!

Thank you so very much. You did a great Job explaining everything. Clearly, easy to understand, and not too fast. It's great to learn how to install a Roof. I am 77 years old, so I won't be doing it. We had bad hail damage here in Florida and I am watching plenty of roofs going on. Not all of them correctly ! Thanks again.

Hey man, bravo , you dont even know how much youre helping diy'ers - thanks

As a previous commercial and residential roofer. Much respect to you for explaining things with simple, easy-to-understand details for people. That in itself is a skill.😂 I would always pre cut the books. Your method seems better overall though.

I liked how you explained everything in half the time compared to other videos like this

Great job on being specific on how things are placed, probably the best detailed roofing video I've seen. Thank You

Thank you so much for all the information. You explained everything in detail. It is very informative.

Thank you for this video my husband and I just bought a house and we need to change the roof but it’s so expensive and a lot of people already try scamming us I hope we can do it ourselves

After watching this video I can now confirm that I am a professional roofer.🔨🔨

Wow! You have knees of steel . Just watching this video gives a great feeling of do it yourself 👍

You are the best and im watching this realizing the roofing company I work for honestly trained me to destroy roofs!

Ty Sir for taking the time to being so informative.

Damn good lesson! I will use your information on my journey to do my roof. Contractors are limited so you either do it yourself or you wait for ever to get help from them! Again Thank You!!!

very to the point, clear, understandable. thanks for avoiding the whole internet celebrity schtick. So sick of that. I'll check out your other vids. Very well done.

Thank you you are a great teacher your work is perfection you can tell by how your shingles line up straight you are one of the best of the best . From the Drip edge aluminum ice and water shield over the gutter apron V B shield white slip guard synthetic to the proper way with the nail gun . 7/16 to the 3/8 you are a professional best of the best 👍

Roofing 101. Never stack all your shingles in one place on a roof. Matter of fact don’t even bring them on the roof till it’s stripped and tar papered.

Great work guy, Also I see your point about not running the starter shingle up the gable. It seems to me each shingle going up keeps one another down. I'm not a roofer, I'm a plumber of 50 years and I like learning new things and yes I'm roofing my roof all by myself. I've got to put down 75 bundles on my roof. I have a 8/12 pitch with a gable on the front, hip in the back with two valleys. I'm going to do my valleys the way you do sometimes, the closed valley or as they say the california valley. Here in Alabama your're not required to use the storm guard in your valley, but I wanted it, so I did. It rained like hell yesturday June 15th and no water got through the synthetic felt. You do a good job simplifying things with your words and that's a big plus. Keep your videos coming...

Great advice in this video. Thank you!

Very helpful video. Thanks. I am planing to replace my garage chingles😊

Thank you for such an informative vid. Demonstration and Explanation is superb! Thanks again!

Thank you for making this video, you’re a great man May God Bless you and your family

I always chalk layout because it looks better having perfectly straight shingles and it doesn't take that much extra time. The fastest speed hacks use the gauge and never let go of the gun but on hot days the gauge can dig into the shingle and really screw up the layout. Also if multiple people are on the same section their gauges may be slightly different. Ice shield expands when it's hot so if you throw it down cold in the morning you might have a bunch of wrinkles by lunch time. You can cut the wrinkles but that will make it less waterproof. On really hot days I'll tack the end of the ice shield then roll it out with the plastic on and let the sun hit it for a minute so it expands then I yank it tight, tack the end and pull the plastic from underneath it

loved this video super easy to understand thank you

You're a great instructor. Very imformative.

What an amazing video. Thank you

Amazing video, one of the best I have seen, thank you for that.

Outstanding video.

Great video brotha! Keep em coming

Thank you man to share your knowledge May God bless you

Yo you just doing your thing working calm proper. That's how I roof. I cut the ice shield sometimes hot days then just over lap. This good video.

It would really cool to see how you start your coarse on a deck with hips on each side, that both run up into gables. Your work is awesome by the way👊🏽👊🏽

Great video thanks for sharing!👍👍

Excellent video! Thank You

love your approach brother! Rock on! Man this is how I do it - Classic - common sense - so many videos on KZfaq are so complicated and technical ... I follow the KISS principle: Keep it Simple Stupid lol

Great video, thanks!

excellent video and information. Is there any special thing to do when the roof meets the siding like in a split level home? (ie: seal edge)

Good job buddy, RoofingLife keep going 👷‍♂️🔨

Thanks for the video.

Roll the ice and water out where you want it then peel off top layer then the bottom I learned the hard way not to peel while rolling I roofed houses for 40 years it was a hard liveing and it was a family business Thompson Roofing

You guys are machines!

One of the easiest and best ways I've seen for installing ice and water shield is to basically lay it out and do the staple on the one end and then take the plastic off after you've got it straight.

gracias apprenndice muy buen vdeo ,muy bien la filmacion desde chile

This makes me feel like I can be a roofer 😅 I really enjoyed this video!

Excellent. I want to practice by roofing my yard shed

I'm roofing my house for the first time, the Video help me tremendously

Great job

Good work! Your a caveman 💪💪 I like videos like this me personally I feel like its good to see how other people do things and it helps me load the program upstairs before hitting the next roof.

Thanks you are great

Thank you 🙏🏾… I’m tackling the roof of a 1943 built house…this will help a lot

how long a roof nail are you using, im in michigan and every wind shingles blow off, i am really considering making my entire spring and summer re roofing my home all by myself and im an old lady, but i cant afford 20k and i need to replace wood too from water leak damage, i have 60x 25 double wide

Great video.. Love the working man pants ayeee

OUTSTANDING!

Very informative thank you! Just waching you guys i feel i can do this without a problem 0.25 speed helps while you do the timelaps

If you're a right-handed person you're starting from the wrong side of the roof unless the video is flipped for some reason

Awesome video.

At the end of video where you adjusted the tar paper to the ridge so you dont get disappearing shingles, do you have a video showing how 2 adjust the shingles? Dont you have to pop a line for the 1st row of the new adjustment?

Your logic is correct . I've been on many jobs n that is how it's done with the ice shield. As long as you seal those seams . Caulk would be on my belt .done a lot behind as well. Same rule applies.

Best tutorial!

I am going to have to come back to your video clip of the Roofing. I need to look at it when I have better time. I know I probably need either work done on it, or a new roof. My Husband passed away recently and I have had to do a lot of work on this house. I’ve got to finish paying for the work that’s being done now to my house. As soon as people, or companies find out that your spouse has passed away. All these people think is you are left well off. It is not the case on all people. I was left with what we had in the bank. I cannot make bills that I have to pay on for the rest of my life. Thank You, and I hope you have a great day. ❤️🙏🙏❤️

When your heart is into something: Their are signs!!!!!!!! Awesome job.

Really informative! If I have my roof done, I'm gonna be up there and checking on the nail pressure! Thanks!

Thanks dude. I’m such a wimp when it comes to heights

Wow. Almost seems possible to DIY. Great video

Very good! You’re back Will bill you someday in the future. Thanks for this. Any pointers on steeper roof? Like, how not to slide off! Old shingles have a very loose gravel!

are these shingles longer then the ones you used in the video where you tought us how to cut stair steps? this video you cut off 6 inches of the 1st shingle and stair step video you didnt but both ways you ended up with 6 steps?

Question as a DIY: Why switch do synthetic felt? I thought you could just use the black tar mat for entire roof. Please let me know

Funny. No lines, and we always cover the ice & water shield with the paper so the next guy who tears it off wont have to replace the plywood. All those shingles (90 percent of the time) will bond to the ice and water shield.

Thanks i learned a lot i have to replace the roof on my house im scared water ran down into the walls and created mold.

is it plywood , treated plywood, OSB, or what do you like

Thank for share what I learn from your skills .... Love it what you did abuse air gun with hammer lol.

You don't have to put starter shingle on the rake edge, But it does insure a perfectly straight edge when looking at the edge from the ground

Great job, I always snap reference lines.

And does it matter which direction your stairs in running from? Right to left or left to right???

i thought nailing IN/ON the tar line was a big 'NO' and that is due to the fact you're reducing the adhesive area for the next row of shingles. Do manufacturers specify one way or the other? I have all the material for my 12x12 shed laying on my garage floor and I suppose I could go out and read it but I probably would not know what I was reading anyway, lol

Again, a pro makes it look easy.

Nice 😊

the weight of the two piles of shingles on the ridge is that fine? thats gotta be a ton per pile

Quaint hearing British Imperial measures decades after used in UK. Takes me back to my appentice days in the 1960s.

awesome thanks

Really good teacher, best shingle video i've seen. Great job and video.

You dont need a overhang on the gabel shingles? Why overhang the eve shingles then?

Good job

Nice 👍

Thanks for sharing, Justin; I really appreciate your content. You show us the important details and 3X through the routine “hand-waving” parts. Now for a question (which is probably code-dependent)… If it were your house and it had original 1X boards, would you you replace them with plywood decking, would you add 4X8 sheathing atop them, or would you just leave the original board deck and re-roof as the original roofers did. (My house is from the 1950’s, with an original roof, a second three-tab roof over it -done in the middle seventies; the wood is in good condition here in Southern California. I’m replacing with architectural roofing because it’s definitely time, it’s been shedding granules and looking “shiny.”) Thanks in advance.

Gteat content and your instructions are easy to follow, question...Is there a specific blade to cut shingle or it's the regular utility blade 🤔

Starter on the gable is there to hold down the end of the shingle run so that wind doesn't lift it and blow water under it. With the starter holding the end of the shingle down via adhesive at the edge, any small amount of water that does get in is now on top of the starter, where it will begin to run downhill and come put at the downstream seam(s). Odd you can't see why it's called for by roofing material manufacturers.

Thanks man

Great

Why not do ice and water shield for the whole roof? Is it a weight thing? Or money?
