The synthetic is supposed to be installed over the drip edge at the eave end. Then install drip over the underlayment on rake ends.
@Mary Glasser in NC it’s required by the manufacturer not the state since drip edge isn’t code here
Yes he did it wrong. Needs read the codes
You are a magnificent teacher. You explain everything in a way that is so easy to understand. I don’t understand why other people make it so complicated. It is hard to understand them. You have an art. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Dax nice to see celebrities actually putting in the work
Quality information as always! Looking forward to more.
Glad to see you cover the ice shield with synthetic to prevent the shingles sticking to the ice shield.
I just use Deckbase instead. I really hate ice shield. Its stuck to the roof for life. Who wants that.
Absolutely it will not come off. That’s why I do this, as it can be done about 3 or 4 times before having to replace the plywood.
Another great vid man, how about when you get to a hip in the roof can you just stop the ice and water/ synthetic and start again on the other side? Run a piece vertically down the hip??
Thanks fellas!
@Josh thank you Josh! 👍🏼
You just have to go over the hip a few inches, because when you put the underlayment on the other side, that side can cover the hip by a few inches and it will be overlapped both ways.
Just try not to slice through it when you’re cutting your shingles along the hip. Slightly lift it up as you’re going or if you’re used to using a hook blade you should be able to do it if it’s laying flat.
Most of the time you will go over the hip with your ice and water and synthetic, then the other face of the roof will lap back over to completely cover the roof.
Some manufacturers recommend ice and water down all the hips but it’s not necessary. Although it can be an added barrier of protection as hip/ridge is vulnerable to blow offs.
I don’t understand how you don’t have 1 mil subscribers bro. I love your content!
Thank you. I appreciate it!
.Perfect example Dilly…exactly the way I do it. *5 Stars.
Very good explanation! I came across other videos, but you explained better than anybody else! I see people suggesting cap nails for the underlayment. Is there any specific reasons you don’t use them? I’m planning to build a shed and that’s why I have lots of questions. Thanks.
Ok so let me make sure I got this right…its weather guard, drip edge and side edge, underlayment, shingles and step fascia, then ridge cap?
On your drip edge installation video, you said the drip edge goes under the underlayment on the eaves, but here you put it over, which is it?
Over ice shield so you get full adhesion to the roof deck with your ice and water.
Nice video, the company i work for we put a 1 foot strip on the bottom edge first then drip, then the full roll on top of the drip so the drip edge is sandwiched with ice and water
That’s an insane amount of protection! I like it! 👌🏼
Great job. Now I know the Average way to do it. Although you are making me cringe swinging your hammer over your wounded finger. 👍🏼👏🏻🤣
Ahhh not scary. Can’t hurt more than the saw blade did 😂

What plywood thickness do you recommend?
How come you don’t use plastic caps on synthetic underlay?
