How to install Asphalt Shingles

This Is One Of The Easiest DIY Projects If You Don’t Mind Heights.


A straight gable roof such as a garage is an easy project to tackle.


If you live up north you will want to start with a 3′ strip of snow and ice shield at the eave. I also like running a metal drip edge along the bottom and up the gables. They give you something to tuck your aluminum fascia behind as well as a little more support for the shingles at he edge.

Here’s a different roof using a different shingle


I would have run the tar paper over the drip edge at the bottom, but on this roof slope your not likely to get any water running under the shingles on the tar paper so maybe it doesn’t mater.


There are some special features for this roof you’ll want to see.
