How to Install Asphalt Shingles on a Shed Roof (DIY Step-by-Step Tutorial)

it won't likely leak but who knows? after a thousand of them, it's just good practice cuz you never know

your drip edge: you created a place where water goes under at the corner. always make the bend at your cut so overlap is from top to bottom like the shingles.

All wrong wrong wrong!!!!
Step your shingles and it tells you that on the wrapper.
Tar paper is wrong too....synthetic vapor barrier is better and on the eve should be ice and water shield. If its not rhere you void any warranty in Canada!!!

Thank you for the video Andrew, I feel muxh more confident now taking on my first shed roof this week. Appreciate you taking the time to create this video. I will like and subscribe 😊

You people need to stop making these videos. Seriously! I am 2 minutes in and already you did and said 4 things wrong. WTF!!! Your generation is unreal. You all know everything even when you don’t.

Thank you a very nice work,and video 🙏💕😀

As a handyman with a bad memory, it's nice to have videos like this to have my memory refreshed from time to time. Thank you and nice job!

I just finished a simular project. When cutting the starter strip I kept the exposed shingle half for use at the top of the roof (Ridge).

I've seen mixed suggestions for the rake side drip edge. Your video and others I've seen say to put it on top of the tar paper. This Old House has two videos where they put it under the tar paper along with the front edge. Anyone know the argument to each one?

drip edge should not be flush with fascia

excellent job

I referred back to this video multiple times as I was making my first attempt at roofing a new shed that I built. Your instructions were clear and concise -- and the new roof came out fantastic!!

Nicely done on the shed, and great production quality on the video. I am working on my shed now. This will help me. Thank you.

Honestly.. There is too much to say. Please don't ever shingle a roof again, please. Hire a roofer, thanks.

Good job 👍

Thank for your video help me a lot..

Great video. My shed roof is 3/4". What size nails should be used to install asphalt singles without penetrating the roof on the inside? I don't want to see nails sticking through the ceiling. TY

Are starter strips on rake edges not important? They seem to be the manufacturer recommendation for the shingles I bought

Thank you for this! I have to redo my single sloped shed roof because of water damage and I see when I installed everything 12 years ago I made mistakes now that I see mentioned in videos. For some reason the manufacture stated to cut shingles flush with drip edge and everyhwere I'm reading is saying you should have at least 1/2" overhang. My drip edge also wasn't installed like how you showed so that was another problem I did. Oh well. Live and learn. At least I caught it before the damage is too great.

Did the chicken coop this way ..thanks!

Where did you get that seam tape? I can’t seem to find anything for roof decking

What is that on the rakes that are black when you are installing the drip edge on the eve? Beginning of video

Bruh… when did you install the rake drip edges? Did I miss something/anything?

What if you have a leak after installing felt and drip edges? Do pull up everything near leak or something else?

WHAT PROTEC WRAP DO YOU USE ? i could not find that kind of coating especially the one you are using. ....

I think I saw the roof sheathing edge not being flush, did that side of the drip install properly?

I really like and appreciate your videos. And your work, very thorough without a bunch of gabbing. 👍 you do nice work, that particular shed looks fricken awesome! I'm building one now that will be my mancave/shop, I just may change my design now to have small windows under the eave facing west. Will make for some good lighting playing pool in the evenings 👍

When trimming shingles, why didn’t you consistently use multiples of 6 inches? Instead, you trimmed 6 inches off the 1st course, 11 inches off the 2nd, and 17 off the 3rd.

Nail size? 1 1/4?

Nice video. What color is the shingles?

Well done!

As an ex- union roofer, shingles shouldn’t be used in less then a 4/12 pitch. Rolled roofing should be used. This prevents water weeping and ice damming.

So so good video. Thank you 🙏

Thank you!!! for this video it help me to understand a lot for my roof 🙏🏽

Gotta love builders these days that don't use any ice or water shield let alone typically leave off the drip edges too lol People will buy anything as long as the 💩 is shiny. No ventilation, interesting. Now wait for the moss to grow! Lol

Thanks so much Andrew. My own home will get a new roof this week and I took notes on your applications, so I won't sound like a doofus when the guys come.
