Thinking of doing my roof myself. At 12:22 in the video, you move the shingle back. Makes sense. But I was wondering why you wouldn't just put a few shingles along the roof starting from the bottom... enough so that you wouldn't have to lift the shingle to do the final nail later. Is that to not to put wear and tear on the shingles as you are installing them? It seems like it would be hard on them to lift and get the nailer in enough to nail it correctly. Thx

Great presentation, best I've seen on installing shingles on a valley.p Using a exhibit mock up roof is way better than añ actual one. The details are easier to see and the reasons why the installation is done that way are easy to visualize and understand.

If you do an open valley you can order a how ever long piece of metal roofing and cut each end rig and the middle ridge out to create 2 valleys.

Darn! You left out my one question about the initial weave. Starters go up the valley from the “under” direction, then comes the weave from the “over” side: Is that a starter too? Is it both starter and shingle that weaves over it?

[@charlesburks3988]

Not a professional BUT the nails are below the tack line way to low

[@paul-rc7mh]

Arcutectual shingles are prity easy kinda miss the old 3tab

[@paul-rc7mh]

Over 30years when I started roofing they were still using a kettle lol

[@tonymessinajr]

do you line the valley with tin before you put the paper??? or after??? thanks..... or no tin at all????

[@RoofingIntelligence]

I'd recommend apply ice and water shield into the valley first.

[@GirthDepthcheck]

Dude when you get up to the top all you have to do is just take a roll of felt and lay it to where it's even with the ridge on the edge That way when you get up to the bottom of the felt you're at the right angle and you can completely use the lines and go off of that going all the way up super simple it's not rocket science

[@GirthDepthcheck]

That way you don't have a disappearing course going up the valley and just know if you just lay your felt straight you can go off the felt lines you're never going to be crooked really if you need to eyeball it a little bit

[@GirthDepthcheck]

Or just go over to shingles and then lay those and if they don't tea then you know you're straight anyway in the valley

[@thordanemassey3197]

With your experience, how do feel about the close-no-cut valley method? Is it leaking proof. There are such mixed opinions about it.

Could you please share how to install flashing furnace a/c vent on S shape tiles?

[@paul-rc7mh]

I thought about having a channel working on it

Thanks 👍

I am so happy to finally watch a video where 3-tab shingles are correctly nailed below the tar strip and above the cut out. So many videos place the nails in the tar strip and the manufacturers clearly state where to place the nails; just as you have pointed out. It is sad that persons who call themselves ruffers (mispronunciation of the word 'roofers') as well as others do not follow manufacturers' instructions. Great video. Keep the good work up.

this video is only a month old....and he is still using 3 tab that nobody sell anymore

[@Lucas-jy7cv]

It's a demonstration. What's it matter

[@davidgarcia-mo4ob]

bullshit always start shingles in valley when theres a valley he started
on the wrong side

[@numbers5796]

Incorrect this is the right way

[@numbers5796]

When you have a lower pitch running into a valley with another plane with a higher pitch you generally go from the other side
Here the extending plane is a greater area, so this supercedes pitch in this scenario, whereas water running into the valley is coming down harder on the plane with heater surface area, compared to the greater sloped plane.

[@carlodave9]

@@numbers5796Correct. Easier to think about which side will be gushing the greatest volume of water, and let that be the upper layer.
