Actual career roofer 6 years.
just a few things, great video thought it was very informative and great for DIYers definitely if you’re brave enough to do you’re own dang roof, but couple of minor things I noticed. Wouldn’t call them errors just this is my career 4 tab asphalt shingles and I’ve spent many a year on the roof.
first few minutes right away the drip edge (metal flashing he installed) should be an 1/8th to 1/4 inch out from the plywood on the bottom to allow the water to have more distance when going down the roof maybe to feed into a gutter or at least away from your ply wood as sometimes the ice and water won’t seal perfectly and you have that room for error.
After that the ice and water, installation was good. I do recommend depending on the slope securing the underlay alittle more with more staples or ideally nails from your gun if you intend to stand on it when you cut your ice and water back you lost me, you did overlap your paper but that seems to be about a 4 inch overlap which if you’re not using the adhesive on the top of the ice and water paper which is alittle faster to stick does make me nervous. I’d leave the ice and water paper at least a couple feet in width and then do my paper over that not worrying about the minimal size difference as the shingles will cover that so it’s unnoticeable assuming your underlay isn’t full of bubbles.
Paper was good, again you’re making me nervous standing on it with so few staples but it’s on the side of a house and only a few feet up so 🧘🏻 I’m calm.
Appreciate that you went over the ridge with your paper, seriously so good🤣
Did you just say you fired a guy for smacking his hand with the staple tacker??? I’ve got over half a decade of just straight roofing nothing else and I do that at least once every few weeks. Apprentices will do that a few times a day🤣 hard core man.
The side flashing is interesting but I would have used the same piece as the drip edge and wrapped the corners at a 45 because if you don’t caulk that at the end of the video your plywood’s gonna get hit
What are you doing with that starter??? Are you going to cut a little 2 inch strip of starter for the sides?? Why make it more difficult on yourself there?
Good video. Works well for your first roof ever

I just started a position as an Exec Asst to the President of a roofing company with no prior experience. I type proposals for him all the time. This is helpful.

[Waycool]

Yeah Man ... plain and simple. I love the tools you use. The hammer is dope. You speak clearly and that's really appreciated. Thanks

[TheExcellentLaborer]

Very good explanation. Thanks for sharing. I got to get back to laboring and recording!

[michaellawinsky]

[davidw]

Thank you for information, would like to find someone like you in my area. Time to have my roof redone. Keep up the great content!!

I figured out my self this neat trick on making drip edge look nice and continous. Seeing drip edge like at 9:24 just pisses me off. First squish the end that goes over a bit (all roofers know this) 2nd bend the corner with the kick out a little extra with your index and thumb kinda like you wanna make a triangle bend mark. More than half the time the overlaps come out beautiful you can't even see them

I professionally build training materials for corporations to use for educating/training employees on processes and this video is VERY well done. 👏👏👏 Keep up the great work on uploading educational videos.

Thank you finally a video step by step how to prep a roof

[idkok]

This is very helpful I start on Monday I’ve never roofed before

[daisyorpington]

@VeteranConstruction Soo glad your video showed up! I'm always having poultry "dumped" on my place and carpentry is NOT one of my stronger skills. Funny I've been trying to build some coops to house all the animals and still haven't managed..Currently some simple in trailers I bought with boards on top..and YOU build a structure to shoot an educational video! Anyhooo...I subscribed! Hoping it's as easy as you make it look!
Thanks from a Nebraska Farm girl!

Super helpful man, no b.s., to the point. Was a huge help this past week. Thanks so much 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[jeffjohnson]

10”! Immediate thumbs up for including the joke!

[runiniscrazy]

Thank you so damn much for showing proper gutter apron/drip edge/ rake edge installtion! Literally every single roofing company in my area 45s regular drip around to the eave and all on top of felt. I've seen hundreds of roofs this year and 1 had proper drip edge installation.
