- In this video, I break down exactly all of the steps I would take when doing this roof if it was my first time ever shingling, but knowing what I know now. In part 1 I broke down the order of operations for gutter apron, ice shield, felt and drip edge. In part 2, I detailed the importance of starter as well as how to put it on, and I showed you guys the extra precautions I would I take when shingling my first roof such as snapping lines every 5th row. in part 3 you get to see it all come together, i highly recommend that you watch parts 1 and 2 in full if you plan on tackling a roofing project of your own. I don't want you guys to miss any important details. Leave your comments below and thank you for watching!!

My dad has cancer and after watching your video I was able to re shingle his roof and save him a lot of money from what he has to live on since he can’t work. This was amazing and you’re awesome
Are you a professional roof service installer, can I have a mare see on your past work on roofing carcass, the nuncio reality grroup pararangon realtors Texas.

Hey man I know what it’s like running a business so I realize how much time you lost by taking the time to make this video but what you’re doing is great man most of the TH-cam tutorials are really complicated and done by A guy that looks like he’s learning as he’s teaching LOL
Haha you're correct! Glad you appreciate it
Is that ice and water textured like a shingle or skate board grip tap?
@@5050johnsmith little of both honestly lol I don't like it. The sound under my boots was annoying. I prefer the other stuff called leak barrier
I'm a foreman
We build patio covers
So roofing is a small part of what we do
A typical job is 4-6 square
down south when weather gets to 110°+
Every small tip and trick can mean the difference in getting dehydrated 1x a week or 1x a month
His videos have saved me litterally
I would hope the several companies you're connected to are paying you for your time here. I certainly wouldn't be doing all this for free ? Owens Corning should be compensating you , for sure. And I'm hoping you've got crews working for you? In any case, I thank you for your service to the Industry and I've totally enjoyed your videos. The "tips" really helped. I've got em memorized.
I did roofing for 20 years….and that’s exactly how we did it…except we followed the manufacturer’s recommended step and nail patterns.
I don't roof anymore. But I used to. And learned all this stuff like 15 years ago... But I just watched that whole hour and loved every minute of it. Awesome video dude I wish someone broke it down to me that clearly and calmly back in the day.
This is a phenomenal 3 part series and the best roofing how-to I've found. Watched all 3 parts from start to finish multiple times, picking up new things each time. Seeing you align the shingles into place for the correct overlap using the tip of the nail gun was genius. Big thanks to you guys for putting this together. I used a hook blade on my Dewalt oscillator and it made cutting the starter shingles and trimming the edges of the roof a piece of cake. I also cut two pieces of premeasured plywood (8" and 16") so I didn't have to do any thinking and the plywood made an excellent straight edge guide when cutting them with the oscillator. I also ended up snapping lines every 2nd row as I found it easier for a newbie to have more lines to reference and have that "reset" more frequently than every 5 rows.
Thank you! Happy to help
I learned more watching this video than hands on working a month with actual "roofers" thank you so much great work i will become a good roofer thanks to your tips
thank you! glad it helped you figure some things out
Awesome video!! We need more guys like you sharing there knowledge for the next generation! You made it easy to understand the “how and why”
parts of roofing! Keep up the good work!
Glad you enjoyed and thank you for sharing! Means a lot
Great video! Super informational just how it should be! One little tip that I've seen that is beneficial, is to have a piece of plywood that is a little longer and taller than your shingles, that you can cut on while you're on top of a roof. Just to ensure you don't cut into any shingles or the paper underneath!
Excellent tip. Was looking for that
!
Fantastic, educational as heck. About to do my first modern shed roof and you have taught me not to make silly mistakes. So valuable, I feel much more confident preparing to do my roofing project now. Great job, great camera (don't forget the person behind the camera ;-)), Thanks a ton!
Kudos to camera person, and also thank you roofer for awesome video!
Turning the gun to nail was a really nice tip
Thanks for the tips, I watched your vids yesterday and did Half my new shed roof today, will do other half tomorrow, I drive a boom truck and deliver to roofers everyday so I see different ways and methods, but got to watch your vids and helped me big time, thanks again bro, be safe on those roofs...🇺🇸
Thank you guys for watching! I would like to add that I do not recommend diy roofs on your home... a garage or a shed is a little different because shingles don't usually leak in the field, they'll leak in the details (pipes, valleys, walls, flashings etc).
Oh and i also I get a lot of questions about tools on here so if you're thinking about doing a project on your own or new to the roofing game I went ahead and located some awesome tools to help you guys out and they are all cheaper on amazon than the ones I find in stores. Links are in the description! Hope you find it helpful.
Also, be sure to check out parts 1 and 2 if you haven't done so. Very important to this process. Obviously there's much more to roofing than this, so if you need help with valleys, ridge cap, ridge vent, regular vents, pipes, removing and re-installing dish satellites etc. I have all of that and plenty more to watch, here in these 2 playlists! Be sure to check them out!

Thanks for posting this and sacrificing your time. Time is money. Thanks again.
I bought the Ryobi nailer , the HPT Metabo cordless, NR1789DCS, nailer. uses 2in to 3 1/2 in nails. Do you think I'll be able to use this on my roof and will I need a staple nailer for the underlay?
@@larry1708 are they roofing nailers? Roofing guns usually shoot 1¼ nails. And no I would just buy handbang cap nails.... I do not recommend doing your own roof if you don't have roofing experience
@@NWIVeteranConstruction how did you begin b4 you knew?
@@NWIVeteranConstruction Thanks VC, I will have a Roofing Contractor there much of the time and won't make a move until he checks in on me. It's a roof on a nice Amish Shed Kit I ordered. Shed is 26 ft X 16 ft. X 16" high OC.
Impressed with your economy of motion.
Thanks for the video!! I’m carpenter who’s looking into to doing my lean to roof .. I rarely watch a video over 30 minutes but yours was the exception.. respect on the time, professionalism and your heart for people in this process thanks man!!!!
Hey dude. Great channel - super informative and straightforward instruction. Just crushed a large garage strip and shingle in two days including dump run. Didn’t set any records, but your videos were extremely helpful and saved a lot of time. Thanks for all the great and very generous work!
Nice! And thank you I appreciate that
i'm a project estimater and still found all of this incredibly insightful. thank you bro!
Great video.
I really appreciate the two cut , no waste, method.
Happy to help
The company that work hates teaching new workers. I am so grateful to have videos! Hope I can bring everything I’ve learned on videos to the real deal. I get looked down on because I’m overweight but I’m about to change narrative and be the best roofer they’ve seen and in do time I’m going to have those people that doubted me work for me when I open my own business.
Excellent video Zack! There's not enough roofers that share true good roofing knowledge, it's always the world's fastest with the worst misleading bad information. It scares me to know that if the new generation is not learning the correct way and (why to do things) how bad the industry will look in the futur. Thanks and have a good one Zack!
Grand roofing I also watch your videos your great 👍 in all I like veteran construction and you grand roofing..ill keep learning from you guys..
I appreciate the thorough how to videos you do. I was able to reside my house last year thanks to you and this year we are doing an addition and now I feel confident in shingling my roof myself. Thanks again!
Thank you, I really needed all 3 parts 🙏🏻 ❤️, I'm 61 and forgot alot, I used to do roofing 35years ago, I'm trying to put solar and they want the singles changed to match the age of the panels, 20 years, my income is fixed and couldn't use credit for a lone(probably a good thing), so I bought the material and I'm waiting for the weather to clear, meanwhile I came across your video researching replacing asphalt roof shingles to freshen up, even mistakes are good to see, I noticed you didn't pull the nail, pulled the tile off and drove the nails down flat, thank you for your service, and thank you for your efforts 😀
Great video series! I have done a little roofing in the past but nothing major. I didn't know how much I didn't know. I love the detailed explanations. Really nice work!
Thanks glad you enjoyed
I landed a job as project manager for a roof & solar company, but I know little about the actual installation. These videos are awesome. I am self teaching cause I can't wait for someone to walk me through it. Thank you!!
You should never be a project manager prior to knowing the install espically of a single trade. A project engineer maybe, but not a PM dealing with pricing, budget, scheduling and sounding knowledgeable to a GC or Builder
Ive never done roofing before and tomorrow i have a 1,200 sf roof to help do and its almost straight up and down has a slight pitch to it so watching your videos has made me not scared or nervous for tomorrow thank you for your videos... You are a good teacher and explain things very well so people can understand them lol so thank you brother keep the videos coming
Happy to help! Thanks for the comments
There's something about watching someone doing their craft with ease that tickles the brain. Reminds me of watching Bob Ross. Thanks for the video. I hope to apply your tips this summer.
Thanks for comment! Any questions just ask
Zach, you are absolutely the best! I wish you lived in my neck of the woods I wouldn’t even do the work , I would hire you :-). I’m a 62-year-old science teacher, who believes in details evidence and reasoning, and you have it all. You are very blessed with wisdom. May you be blessed, in all the other ways that you desire :-). Thank you, Zach And thank you for your service as well🫡
Thank you very much for that!
I have been watching your videos for a long time and I learned a lot. I also did my own roof and got a lot of tips from your videos so thanks man for what you do
Thanks for the support! Happy to help
Thank you for all the videos. I have a 20 sq roof I am doing this summer (after a few repairs last summer) pretty straightforward, double wide with no hips or valleys. And between you and Grand Roofing here on YT I feel like I have a a huge compilation of knowledge now and am really excited to get it done and see the end result. Appreciate the time you take to keep them videos coming!
I learned a lot by watching these videos today. I am a complete beginner but now I think I have the confidence and knowledge to start on my planned project. You should be very proud of your instructional videos. Many thanks from the U.K.
Thank you very much! Best of luck to you. If it's a bigger project, definitely don't go into it short handed and be careful with weather. First times should plan for it to take about 3x longer than you expect to be safe
Thank you for putting up your videos.
My son and I have a construction company and we have learned a lot of tips from you.
We appreciate you
Pioneer engineering and construction.
awesome brotha. happy to help
What’s up man just wanna thank you for the awesome videos you upload. I started my own roofing business 2 months ago because of your videos. Good stuff keep it up
That's dope! How's it gone
One thing we do different on our crew is we cover the ice for our felt. It’s easier to keep it straight, the shingles won’t stick to the ice for later repairs/tear off, and it’s better grip to walk on especially when it’s hot.
i agree with that! i've thought about doing it myself. maybe i should coz i know for damn sure i don't wanna be roofing when we start rippin off nothing but 2 rows of ice and water shield on every house. the days are close
I start roofing soon wanted to get an idea so the guys dont have to worry about me so much your videos are awesome you explain things very well thank you
I did some roofing back in the 70s and 80s, and I am about to re-roof my current house. I have been watching lots of video’s and learned something from most all of the videos I have watched., as the products have changed from the days gone by. I did find yours to be one of the most help full. You point out a lot of little tricks that will come in handy. one that I noticed that you did not pass on was the use of the nail gun to help line up the next shingle before nailing it down I thing that would have been worth mentioning. other wise super informative, thank you.
Nobody has videos like yours. Love watching them man. You literally don’t have 1 useless video on your channel lol. Thanks for taking the time to make these. I think that there will be generations of roofers who will benefit from your channel.
Cheers
Awesome to hear that! Thank you
How come you don't use tile or slate ?
I'm just about to start working for a roofing company, thank you for taking the time to break everything down... awesome vid dude
anytime
Dont use shingles on a flat roof
Thanks for the tutorial! Perfect for my DIY project on my shed! 👍
Retired after 42 yrs of roofing, started running a kettle and finished up as service manager for high end commercial roofing company, over the years i worked with 100s of roofers, all had their own style and as long as they met my standards for quality and production i never
bugged them about their technique, thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge, the industry is in dire need of quality minded roofers
Man, wish you would have made this 2 years ago when I roofed my house. But I learned a lot from your channel and what you had up at the time. But the basics in this series cleared a lot up for me. I didn’t realize how much I didn’t know, but with better explanation it makes it clear. Thanks
damn! sorry it took to long lol
Nice. Maybe a follow up video in the future? Valleys, penetrations and ridge cap?
I do have those. I will list them tonight and tag in a pinned comment. Thank you!
I like it how you make it look so easy when you cut the shingles
Comes with time but make no mistake about it, I get some bad tennis elbow going when I make a ton of them lol
No measuring tape needed he already knows how it's done. I'd like to learn that.. that's why I came across this video
It doesn’t seem like I can add pics to the comments, which it’s too bad but I used your 3 part DIY vids and I was able to do the roof on a covered outdoor kitchen I’m building. I’ve never done roofing before but your step by step vids helped out immensely. Thank you boss. You were a lot of help.
Zacks a pro, I’ve learned a lot from him but it’s tough to remember everything off the top of your head. Owens Corning recommends 6 1/2 inches for your stagger step with a minimum of 4 inches and a maximum of 8. The “5 5/8” number he’s talking about is actually the height of a shingles course line (exposed part of shingle after applicators) not being a smart Alec just clearing it up for the newbies
Application*
After I made this comment I pressed play and saw he cleared that up lol
The technical term for is 5 5/8” reveal
Thanks for the video! I'm a framer currently building my own place and am doing my own shingles as well this following week. Never done shingles before but there has to be a first time for everything.
What's the pitch? If you got a 7 or up I would buy a pitch hopper
My knees say I need to hire someone with pitch hoppers.
@@2hotscottpro ope. Know how that goes.
@@NWIVeteranConstruction it's a 8, but that's all we ever do around here so it's not so bad.
found this channel recently. your doing a great job explaining while not trying intentionally to be condescending to your audience.
Hello. Been looking at several videos so I can shingle my patio cover. This has been the best, most informative series. Thank you!
Hey man, just wanted to say thank you a lot for making these 3 videos. I always refer people to your channel if they need to know anything about roofing or siding, especially if it's someone I'm gonna be working with. Now I have a perfect little set of videos to start them off on.
i've always hoped that these videos would be used for that reason. thanks
Thanks for taking the time to share this info brother! Took on a small patio roof to practice for reproofing the rest of the house. This video series was spot on, got it done no problem!!! Looking for how to shingle a hip roof, trying to figure out how to get a stair step going on a roof with hips on both sides, appreciate any help!!!
Roofing keeps people strong and healthy. I was roofing from 1982 as a kid my dad trained me well. I retired at age 50. Roofing has been very good to me. Beautiful vid. Let the homeowners learn and save from paying ridiculous prices nowadays. Roofing is a really simple aspects. Dad said to ," think like a drip , think like your water , where would you go ?? Downhill. Down slope. Think like a drip.
I like the shingle cut method for beginners. We always laid them all, chalk lined, and cut them back at the end but that was on a 4-5 guy crew. I gotta admit, my first few cuts were pretty ugly, but you get very accurate over time and it keeps all of the roofing guns running.
Thank you very much for that Excellent, professional, caring video you put on. I am 52 years in the automotive trade, hope I have learnt a lot from you.
Cheers !!!
Can’t thank you enough for the knowledge you’ve given me sir. Keep up the good work
I appreciate that
I worked as a dry-in guy for two seasons. Learned more in less than an hour than those two years lol. Thanks for taking the time!
Haha happy to help
All ya need is the right guy to show ya the ropes. Too many guys out there that don't wanna teach
Your three part roofing video was awesome!!! Used your tips to do my first roof from start to finish this past weekend!! Thanks!!
Happy to help thank you
Only person I've see so far on YT talk about safety and how to be smart with your installations so you don't fall off the roof
Great video series. Thank you for your service and taking the time to thoroughly explain this process in video. I just built a 12x8 shed in my yard and have absolutely no roofing experience. So these video's are exactly what I was looking for to answer all my questions. All the best!
Thank you! Happy to help
This was the most thorough and informative video I have seen. I will use this to help a friend who is at ropes end for help.Thank you for being so informative. Again, I will make a point to study many videos but THIS.. this one was awesome man👍 Thanks, Veteran Construction
Thanks for the 3 part series.....I learned a lot and it helped us to shingle our 32x32 garage build rather quickly and no sags.
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed
I'm retired DAV Need to shingle my house. All I've ever done is three tap. You have been a great help.
Absolutely great content. Keep doing your thing.

As a youngster I did more roofing not so much now. But doing my garage and just a few things I watched will/ has made it easier so far!
Thanks man for teaching us your knowledge and wisdom!
This is young men's work. My lower back is screaming just watching this guy.
The most informative video I have ever seen on roofing. Very simply explained very well paced for beginners. I really appreciate it man!
Np thank you
Thank you for sharing 😊
I use to do 3 tab and we did things a little different. Starter row were 3 tab flipped around on center, half / whole runs. Caps were cut 3 tab, valley's waved in. Today you have starter rows, ice shields, and way better choices for roofing. This video was a good updates for those of use who were 3 tabbers!
Thank you so much! Shingling my shed and doing it just like you showed.
Best of luck
I’m 23 and just started roofing about 6months ago, thanks for the awesome tips now I can go to work and show my buddies how too roof lol!!
Your video is great.
The absolute best instructional video on shingling
Happy to help!
I haven’t done roofing in several years, so watching your video helped a lot. Going to roof a well house , it’s not too big but I don’t want make a mess.
Enormous help for our family. Thank you!
Best shingler on the Web,, Great instructor Thanks
Perfect. Very clear and professional
Great video man, I've been in construction for about 8 years now and I never knew how roofing gets done !! Thanks a lot for this good video !!
Np!
Your a master at your craft! Thank you so much for sharing. Thank you for your service and god bless.
Thank you
Excellent video, thank you. Shingling my shed tomorrow and have good confidence to complete it now!
Awesome videos. I just wanted to say thank you for doing these. It helped me alot doing a roof for my garage after it started leaking. Thank you for your service!
No problem. Thank you
Thanks for your hard work! I was confused about the hook or straight utility blade usefulness. I did a flat roof, and didn't find hook blades handy at all. Now I know what to play with for shingles. :)
Great series you are a life saver. I completed my garage and feeling confident. Thank you for assisting a disabled US Veteran on a limited income.
Happy to help!
And thank you for your service
I learned so much here. Hoping to start a roofing company with a friend. This was what I was looking for. Thanks!
Came across your video and watched it many times, you explained it very well. I build a 12x12 shed and followed your steps, roof came out great, my first roof job !
I have a new found respect for roofers, my back is on fire ! Thanks again and thank you for your service !
Haha it can definitely be a love hate relationship with roofing. Pros and cons. Happy to help
after watching a lot of your videos, i was confident in replaying my garage roof. everything went well. what’s funny is watching you do a tear off makes me wanna ride the ripper every time and then 10mins in it’s like man this sucks! stay bangin
Haha glad it worked out
@@NWIVeteranConstruction
you should do a video on contractor pricing and what you should expect to pay a contractor
@@timgore5255 might have to do that soon thanks
Your an excellent teacher. Thanks for great content
I like the way you teach and explain everything step by step and being real about all the roof techniques and safety and etc..thumbs up to you..ima beginner with the gun roof im great in prep n and cleaning but shingleing gotta step it up trying to master it all..hope one day I'll be good as you..
Awesome! It's easy as long as you don't make it hard
I’m 17 and I have no experience and this really helped me thank you
Yessir! If you enjoy construction.. try to learn framing. Carpentry is the best base you can have in my opinion. If you can Become a decent framer, everything else will come to you easily! Roofing, siding... all that and more will be a piece of cake to understand. You can flip houses and remodel too. Best of luck out there kid
Great video. Im so glad its you up there and not me. You make it look easy. THX
Thank you
I really like how you explained everything. Even the places I’m going to make mistakes, like you already know me. Very realistic, thank you.
Happy to help.
So far of the roofers i,ve seen you have rhe best techniques.
Thank you. Spent yrs trying to work it out
That pneumatic nailer makes things a lot easier. I imagine it’s the equivalent of having another roofer helping.
Hey man,. I have been watching the site and then went to do my entire home with your input, at 66yrs old I feel every day, but we'er going along really good, will not be going into this business, but thanks for all your really well done sharing,teaching and experience. Everything you have shown, I had to deal with and over the days we found some ways to correct our job. But thanks to your teaching, I am going to have a really solid roof over my home for the rest of my life. God bless, the educated man
Thank you ,fellow Human.

Happy to help!
I'm starting on a roofing crew next week, this helps a lot, thanks
Great information. I would recommend a safety harness no matter what the pitch. Falling from any height won't end well.
My mom's looking to to get new shingles this summer, watching your videos might help me save her some money. Along with my brother working for a roofing mill and getting employee discounts on shingles and liners will help out a lot.
Best shingle video ever thanks for taking the time to show us!
Thank you!
Fact .I'm a roofer in west V and your videos have helped me like crazy me and my twin bro have a froman that doesn't want us to learn so I will always need him.We want to start our own roofing buiseness with in the next two years .
Thanks for the series they have been very helpful!
Thank you from a public adjuster from Maryland. Well made videos like this are easy for me to reference to company adjusters. Keep up the good work and we'll get the money for you :)
