Great video, thanks for posting. I need to fix an area where the decking nails are pushing the decking itself away from the rafter and making my roof look like a small hill
Thanks again Gary I just removed the head end of my chimney tonight and reviewed your information before I got started. Tar paper patch included. Thanks for empowering us weekend warriors!
Great video Gary, thanks. Regarding the comment about using urethane adhesive on flying tabs, what do you recommend? I live in Florida and on my southern exposure I would like to ensure that the wind won't easily get those that are loose... thanks in advance.
Nice job. I am a carpenter also and hate seeing poor roof repairs. The only thing I'd add is using urethane adhesive to glue down your replacement shingle and any tabs you broke free around the repair. Of course the roof you showed needed a truck load of urethane to glue all the tabs down.
Thank you Gary for this video. I am removing an old chimney and didn't want to take all shingles off to ridge. Now I see how the nails will need to be removed above my work area!!
Ill let you know as a roofer, always give home owners the option to seal the shingles if they are in decent shape and just replace the few that are wind damaged.Sealers last almost ten-15 years, greatly extending the life of the shingles. As a homeowner, I will let you know, its cheaper to remove your own shingles, and just pay for installation.Installation takes a day.Tear down takes forever.
great video Gary. You wouldnt happen to have a video on how to replace some bad decking on the edge of a roof where i am assuming my shingles or flashing has allowed water to ruin that plywood? I have a chunk of bad decking that ive got to replace very soon but im not sure of the best method to do so. do i need to seal the cuts i make to patch that area, can i reuse my shingles if i remove them nicely and they are in good shape?
hallooo...roofing nails in roof...made specifically for felt they are short and have a larger than normal surface area to deter rain from entering felt and roof. (PS they've been used for many many years)
This clear, easy-to-follow guide is essential for people like me, with only basic DIY skills. I followed the instructions to the letter, and it worked out great. Still managed to scratch my garden tiles though, despite using the hook blade! Many thanks IKO.
Finishing a felted roof can be even easier using "Rapid Drip Former" this product finishes the edges nicely. Check out the video under rapid drip former and see fantastic this product is for anybody attempting a felt roof x
WTH???? MM? clamp nails? Where are you at? I see IKO which must mean you are in Canada.That figures since they are the only brand shingles around my are that are an oddball size.We call that roll roofing here in the states.Which I wouldnt use that stuff on anything I care about.
Very grateful for this video which makes me confident I can replace my shed felt. And have now ordered IKO products on Internet - it would be plain rude to use other manufacturer after you went to all that effort! Hope your products are as good as your video, I'll let you know in 15 years! Thanks.
Hi,I have a large garden workshop made of wood, and it leaks very bad.The roof design is a pent style, there is a slight incline and it leaks where the roof slopes down at the back. The roof is 8x4 OSB board ,ive had 2 sets of roofing felt on it (thin) plastic sheets and a thin tarpaulin and it still leaks!!. Originally it rained heavily before felted. If i remove the old wood,renew&paint it with bitumen will this waterproof it? Is my leak problem cos it got wet before i had chance to felt it?
I've been watching a lot of videos trying to learn how fix my garage roof and this one and the next have been the best. The thing no one tells you is how back breaking this work is.

Helpful man!
ReplyDeleteDecent quality felt is the key to doing a decent job
ReplyDeleteVery helpful and clear.
ReplyDeleteI cover all the timber with the bitumen before adding the felt as it hardly
ReplyDeletecosts anything and provides a waterproof layer itself.
