Love the corner details. Note... ALL STANDARDS point to drip edge UNDER felt at eave, OVER felt at rake. Why? Any moisture finding its way to the underlayment will seep directly under that drip (if it's place on top of felt) onto your wood beneath causing rot. Otherwise great tutorial
@PracticalRoofingConcepts4 ай бұрын
Not all. Metal condensates. I would think the opposite. If there is no paper under the metal, condensation will end up rotting the wood. The metal is sealed with roofing cement so water isn't finding its way there as it stops when it hits the roofing cement, if it even makes it under the shingles. We don't have the ice dam situation here. Ice dam, water moves up into and underneath shingles farther than just rain. here is a link to a video I did about the dripedge over under kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gNOGaMZml7O5dX0.html

I got a little confused. How did you know not to look for something like shingle or rotten wooden board replacement vs. bad nail? What are the tell-tale signs of something small vs. something bigger? Also, once you found the bad nail, why did you pull and reseal all those other shingles instead of just doing the one that was bad?
@PracticalRoofingConcepts4 ай бұрын
Once I've defined an area, I am really sealing all suspects. The nails are one, but also there is the sidelaps or side seams in the shingles as water can travel underneath shingles and find the side laps. That is how water will get underneath shingles and onto the paper underneath, if not through nail holes. Also, this roof is needing replaced, I was just buying some time. I'm sure it has been replaced by now. Rotten wood would be apparent by soft area. Usually if the leak is spotted in time, the wood is not rotten yet and will just dry. Also, once you pop the shingles up, there is no (or a lot less) wind resistance without adding some more adhesive, sealing the nails is doing two jobs at once.

Why so many nail? And how come the nail are not under the upper later? More penetration thru paper, more risk of water leak.
@PracticalRoofingConcepts4 ай бұрын
It's code. The nails hold the paper in place for wind resistance while waiting for the shingles, and also so the paper won't slide out while we walk on it. Once the shingles go on, the paper becomes secondary. There will be more holes when the shingles are installed.

Great workmanship, but I would think it matters that you don't have to go back whether you are making money or for yourself. With all those large headed nails in the tarpaper, what do you do when you hit one when nailing on the shingles and it slips and damages the tarpaper?
@PracticalRoofingConcepts4 ай бұрын
It happens, but not very often. When you are hand nailing, usually you can feel it right away. With a nail gun, you just have to fix it as you go. Not a show stopper

Can you use a cold applied cap sheet as a patch on a modified bitumen roof by applying primer, adhesives, and then the cold applied cap sheet? Also, if necessary, could you re-seam a cold applied cap sheet by using a torch? Thanks.
@PracticalRoofingConcepts4 ай бұрын
Yes. Would not use a torch. Torchdown material has bitumen in the roll. Cold applied material the bitumen is in the can. You can use a torch to warm up the material so it is easier to work with, but melting the material is not the right idea. Unless, the material is torchdown or APP.

What prevents condensed moisture from entering the attic from around the vent duct in the joint between the duct and the roof? In cold weather that vent will condense water inside and drip back onto the roof.
@PracticalRoofingConcepts2 жыл бұрын
Possibly a better seal of the duct to the tarpaper. They even make transitions that seal to the roof and go up into the vent further. In our area that doesn't seem to be a problem.

Do you install drip edge before or after the felt?
@PracticalRoofingConcepts2 жыл бұрын
Depends on your area. In Florida it is common practice to install the dripedge on top of the paper and then seal with roofing cement. The roofing cement also bonds to the starter and keeps the shingles better "stuck" to the edge. If you're not in Florida, you should probably follow the code and install the paper over the dripedge. I would use a slip sheet so you're not installing the dripedge directly over wood.

For a low slope patio cover, (.5" per foot) what is the best method for adhering fiber reinforce rolled roofing to the drip edge. The mastic I used previously let loose after a number of years, causing rain water to wick back and then under the drip edge. I'm not sure the polyurethane I purchase will adhere any better to the tar shingle roll roofing material.
@PracticalRoofingConcepts3 жыл бұрын
Keep like materials together. If you are working with asphalt products, make sure the adhesive is asphalt based. Also, use adhesive versus roofing cement. Adhesive is designed to harden and roofing cement may never harden as they have 2 different functions. Also, asphalt primer is key when adhering material.

All the videos I can find say the drip edge goes under the underlayment except for the rakes. However, my .5" / 12" low slope patio cover had the asphalt shingle let loose of the drip edge mastic (after a number of years) and wicked water up and under the drip edge. So if the underlayment went over the drip edge there would be no way to seal it.
@PracticalRoofingConcepts3 жыл бұрын
Apparently, only Florida building code allows dripedge to be placed over underlayment as long as it is sealed with roofing cement. If it is 1/2" per foot, shingles should not be installed in that situation. That is considered a low slope application, which I would then use granulated cap sheet. kzfaq.info/sun/PLCnkB2WaiXnDHywCBxh6eQyPT-gTcsDat - I did a series on a self adhered flat roof. Check the code in your area, but mostly it would be a sealed system.

@PracticalRoofingConcepts3 жыл бұрын
This is the typical installation for shingles in Florida and it works well. Rotting roof edge usually happens when starter seams line up with seams of the first row. The roofing cement is what seals the dripedge off and also keeps the shingles from blowing off during a storm. We don't have snow, ice, or ice dams, which is the reasoning behind the underlayment going over the dripedge.

Expect water condensation in winter inside the exhaust cover. You must let this collected water to escape. So apply sealant only under the cover's three sides i.e. top and two sides. Keep the down side clear so that any condensate water deposits drains out...
@PracticalRoofingConcepts3 жыл бұрын
Good point. Always sealing for water getting in, but not out. In this area the condensation is not as much of a worry for exterior vents. I would expect that in other locales it is greater due to the temperature differential during the colder months.
