Out of all of the videos on installing shingles, this was the absolute best.

Why’d this guy stop making videos?? He only made a few but they are all very informative and well produced.

Hello sir, this is my first time installing IKO shingles will start soon, so I always see your video, thanks for your hight light. From kuching sarawak, Malaysia..

excellent tutorial! and straight to the point! thanks so much 👍👍👍

Best shingle video by far! Thought I had it figured out in my head but you just reinforced it. Thanks!

I really like the way you explain a lot of the things you’re doing, and I appreciate the video! One thing that I feel you overlooked was what happens when your roof is not square. You have a nice square model and everything is nice and straight. That’s not always reality!

Very informative. Puzzling why all the "professional" roofers are watching videos like this and finding faults with his demonstration???I guess they had questions too....

[Ragincajun]

Awesome video sir, but getting lost and going off topic like if you left or right handed but it dont matter. The great knowledge you sharing seems to get lost in that. Again super knowledgeable

[deeproots]

Had to do re do a roof for one of my bosses clients this helped a lot thank you!

[leetotigz]

I really love just the, "Read the instructions"

After the starter course, wouldn't it be okay to go vertically with a full shingle, then 6 inches of the next shingle, then back to a full shingle, and so on. I know with this method I would have to work horizontally too.

I was just checking the specs on the duration shingle and looked at this out of curiosity. I read several comments and find it interesting the "professionals" that need to prove their experience. This is a generic video for the average Joe. We all have are way of doing things. Me a licensed General Contractor, Licensed roofer and former Inspector. Many guys can lay it out without chalk lines but many can't. Believe it or not, it is NOT recommended by the mfg to nail in the glue line. You need to make sure you are penetrating the shingle below when that nail is installed. In Florida, there are more requirements for the use of asphalt cement about every where and over lapping things differently then how we use to do it. The eave or drip is installed over the underlayment, a layer of asphalt cement is applied 6" wide at the edge of the roof all around. It is essential that you follow the manufactures' installation guide or the warranty is voided. So, the first thing to do is read the installation instructions before you do it the way you have always done it. Code changes and new understanding of the effects of wind and driving rain has caused us to reconsider how we do things in Florida. At one point 3 tab shingles were not allowed to be installed in Florida and all shingles had to be 6 nailed. That has been changed from testing instead of presumptions. However, in the highest wind zones in Florida you can't use 3 tab.

At the beginning of the video I see the the starter shingles. Would putting the horizontal edge shingle under the vertical edge shingle be better? (at the corners) I see it's done that way above the window.

[neilwilliams]

Do you have a video on woven valleys where one side of the roof runs east to west and the other side of the roof runs north to south?
Awesome video. Thank you very much.

1. starter shingle overlap is wrong
2. one line is simple to follow. measure in from the side of the roof the width of the shingle.
3. that's what the slits on the sides of the shingle are for

Use a full shingle for starter and rake. Don’t pop 10” lines for dimensional shingles they have a 5 and 5/8” reveal. The closest you can pop is 11” lines and you only lose 1/4 inch every other row. This guys is a bob villa. True roofers do it differently. As for the low nails he’s right. You want them as low as you can get without exposing them for the best wind protection. Your nail pattern should look like this - - - - -
This gives you a gap where the next shingle will meet.

Edited to add that I will be making a video on how to actually roof a house. I operate a roofing business and worked for multiple different roofers over the course of my life. I’ve seen the ins and outs of people’s ways of doing it, right and wrong. I’ve formulated the best ways to do it professionally and would challenge anyone to try and correct it.
