Love your stuff man. I am also a Veteran and would like to figure out a way we can collaborate somehow. Obviously, you have a much larger channel than us and have done really well, but I would like to figure something out if you’re down.
Check out the flow, love the hair dude hah!
gatta cover up that bald spot lmao
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!!
Awesome video man! Something I’ve learned for dripedge is to slightly bend the end of your metal inward with your hand for the overlaps and it helps to keep it from flaring out, works for eves and rakes (florida mans alternative to making the 45 cut, cause code calls for a 3” overlap on all dripedge). Code here calls for everything opposite of what your doing too lol
It’s easier if you just snip the metal a little, opposite from what he does in this video, then you can slip the underside, where the L shape is, and tuck it underneath the side you’re laying it overtop. Makes it 100% flush.
Josh If I got what your saying right then that would work just fine too. Where i’m from they require 3” over lap on all eve or rake metals so bending the ends is the only option
With the new synthetic felt you can staple just the top and bottom. Keep the staples out of the feild and no more leaks, YES it will hold you. Try it and thank me later.
yea people don’t trust the staples enough
@Steve jones ya man check out the installation pdf, it’s on the first page page lower left after “Important” that’s in bold letters. You need to use caps

@V P I never knew that, I believe you. I imagine they want you using the green cap nails..yeah hardly anyone does.
It voids the warranty. Says it right on roll ” do not use staples”
I can feel this guy feeling the camera watching him. And I can relate.
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
Thanks man this was real helpful I’ve been watching soft but they leave out most of the good detail section need to start the roof
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.
Instablaster
No problem man
Love your video’s, why are some starter strips half width (skinny) and some I’ve seen you install full width (fat).
If you’re talking about in other videos I used some fatter ones..yea I preferred those taller ones but that brand quit making em and I moved towards using the manufacturer starter these days over what I prefer anyway. For example if I’m using GAF shingles on a job I’m gonna always use their starter and ridge cap as well. 3 components for the warranty.
thanks for this nice video, can anyone tell me what is the first black layer is called ? i know the second layer is called roofing felt. thanks
Ice and water shield/ ice barrier/ ice and water barrier /ice shield. Ect.
the good ol construction jokes… these days you’ll get fired just for laughing at a joke like that haha
thank you for the video. when i can use the ice & water berrier? and when i will use flat roofing underlayment ? can i just use the ice & water to cover all my roofing ? thank you
@Veteran Construction please please can i get your phone number if you don’t mind ❤️
Ice and water is usually required along the eve edges to extend 2 ft past the inside of the exterior wall, and in valleys. I’d check your local code though with your building department. Depends on the area
what are all these material called? drip edge? flashing? roofing felt? starter?
Had a roof repair for my grandparents. Kept saying this is how zach would do it
Lmao that’s crazy to think about. Thanks for sharing that
Why don’t you run your I&W over your drip as a full run?
Cool video, when I do my starter I start my gable one first and get my overhang on the side gable plus bring it down on the each so it has the over hang on the side and the eave, then I but my first eave starter too that gable starter, might sound confusing but it looks good too.
i think ik what you’re talking about. the actual starter and shingle part will be out thursday
Man I’m really enjoying your videos… I just started my company and am learning allot from you. How can I reach you directly?
uhm. prolly facebook. would be happy to help.
So you have Just started your own company and your learning what to do from youtube? Seems legit
Hey Zack, your health ok bro? You’ve lost weight or maybe a facelift!?
I can’t wait for the flashing lessons!
Haha yes its intentional! I felt like I was fat and dying. In order to lose 25 lbs I had to of put it on at some point lmao
Veteran Construction , way to go bro! Keep it up you look good?
