Can I install asphalt roof shingles without any sheet underneath?

I agree nailing on the tar line is wrong. I use the 6 nails across the
shingle as the comment suggested

Great tutorial. Thanks for making it so clear and easy to understand. This
video is helpful for anyone who wants to know how to properly nail shingles
or for anyone who is going to hire a roofer. In my experience, when a
roofer wants to get a job done fast he will only put two nails in a
shingle.

dont nail on the tar line, this video is wrong. Nail 6 nails across the
shingle where it is 2 ply thick. Just above the gauge line.

time lapse 1:01 shows the 3 different size nails depending on the wood you
are nailing into.

In response to this video being a roofer for 30 years and allways hand
nailing my shingles, todays problems with blow offs will be more related to
application by air guns due to this application. (my nails go in flat, I
know where my fingers are) roofer Ron

Yes, absolutely you can use a nail gun. Just be sure nails are not driven
at an angel, that you over-drive or under-drive them. Make sure there is
enough pressure in the compressor (I believe about 90 psi) and that hose is
not tangles, and set the depth on the tip of the gun. Good luck

Our house is only 4 years old and we live in a high wind area. Apparently
the shingles were not properly installed with the nails…. the nails are
too high. We lose a few shingles almost every storm and get an expensive
“repair”. I hate to go to the expense of a new roof on a 4 year old
home….. is there a way to nail along the strip and save this roof. The
roofer we get to install blown off shingles says it cannot be done. Lifting
up the edges of the shingles might break them for sure.

hey Martin, that’s “shingles” man! not “SINGLES” haha..

My brother’s company still hand nails every shingle with hatchets, and they
are fast, but his hands look like an old mans. hard working people who earn
every penny they make.

@BreakfastBentoBox This is why I hate the public.
localcrew · September 12, 2014 at 7:49 AM
So much hostility. They’re just shingles, for God’s sake! They’re just
shingles.
year2044 · September 12, 2014 at 8:41 AM
LOL…agree with ya! People that roof for a living see ‘hammer’ roofers and
think ‘AmAteur’ :+) I roofed for a living for bout 15yrs and then decided 2
go 2 college cause the work is damn hard. I still roof my own home and
friends/neighbors. But yea, I just cracked up on your comment cause I agree
with ya 100%…lol
lgttb1 · September 12, 2014 at 9:31 AM
@localcrew until they blow off and water fills your home. your roof is
worth doing correctly to make it last and look good.
Johnny Hurst · September 12, 2014 at 10:17 AM
Funny, the guy nailing the dimensional shingles gave you what I call a
crotch nail at 1:26, which is a nail between the seams. You should have
mentioned crotch nailing as it is one of the main cause of leaks. Also that
white line below the tar line is actually be the place where the nails
should be driven in order to keep the mat from sliding out from under the
top section. Driving nails where the tar is, on a hot day will cause a
build up of tar on your hatchet.
localcrew · September 12, 2014 at 10:31 AM
@lgttb1 Okay, Meryl Streep — dial back the drama a little bit there. Still
just shingles. I applied the ones on my house and many other houses with a
coil roofing nailer. 1 1/4″ nails. Driven in straight and true right where
they’re supposed to be. My shingles are still there after 18 years with no
blow-offs or other defects. So yeah, it was done correctly. No drama. No
leaks. Still looks good too.
SuperAceuno1 · September 12, 2014 at 10:59 AM
Keep an eye out for shingles that are lifting when its windy and seal those
with plastic roof cement in a caulking gun, For the most part the shingles
in sunny areas should be sealed good by now, If the roofer is charging you
a lot of money for small repairs find somebody else, Theres plenty of
reasonable and fair people that know what they’re doing

I like hand nailing, WITH A HATCHET, and air guns. I love my Bostitch. That
said, less errors are made with hand nailing.
moneytipsification · September 12, 2014 at 12:02 PM
goodness…well, I think this was a good explanation of problems to
avoid..at least you are not using staples ! nice video ..
tyb678 · September 12, 2014 at 12:59 PM
the tar paper should be free of holes and tears, as a backup guard in case
something does happen to the shingles.
