Hey i have a question a company just finished doing our roof but they
didn’t put shingles on all the vents is this normal or they have to put
them and cover the entire vent.

Did you use a hammer for the entire ridge vent? Is there a particular
reason you didn’t use the nail gun for it or was it just preference?

just a comment on these plastic ridge vents. Some come lined with a
plastic scrub pad looking thing. Which is GOOD if you live in an area like
the northeast where stink bugs like to find a way to get into your hours.
Without the plastic as a little barrier to keep the bugs out, but lets the
air escape from your attic. I’ve seen the grills on some ridge vents with
out the plastic scrub pad inside is filled with stink bugs that die there
and no air can get out.

great video but I was curious how you finish off the other side? Like to
you have exposed nails on one side or do you do something else to finish
off the other side?

Great instructions! Question… is it normal to see some moisture on the
ridge vent cap from the inside the attic when it rains really hard?

Knott Reel · September 22, 2014 at 8:13 AM

Great instructions. I learned a lot from this video.

Starter cap is missing. This system of capping is a 4-ply system. The first
cap on the house is only two ply. There should be a double half-cap(two
caps together with their exposures cut off, leaving the adhesive intact,
facing rakeside) installed first before you install your first course of
cap. And, you should make sure that your final cap also has 4 plys as well.

great video…who is lone wolf?

How did you finish the ridge single on the ridge vent. And I am hearing
they clog and some leak. Your comments on this please.

Charles Corey · September 22, 2014 at 9:58 AM

Never use Cobra Rolled Ridge Vent is doesn’t ventilate properly and let’s
the rain come in. Use a externally baffled ridge vent always. Always run
the ridge vent material to the end of the house even though you don’t cut
to the end. This makes it look like a chicken coop. Congrats though–he is
the only roofer besides us to hand nail with LONG ROOFING NAILS. The
longest gun roofing nails just do not cut the mustard.

Double cap is not acceptable,because top tab is not properly glue,u will
have to apply sealant or plastic cement on each tab,in order to keep tabs
for blowing away

hansmustermann73 · September 22, 2014 at 10:54 AM

Hello, great instruction. Can you do also a video how to place the shingles
at the other end of the ridge vent? This match with the last hint of
daniel. You explain it in the comment, but sorry i don’t understand.

minthillbilly · September 22, 2014 at 11:01 AM

I have a video just on that topic but I should be able to explain. You want
to run your shingles up both sides of the roof all the way. place your
ridgevent over the top. If your not covering the nail heads on the last
shingle you nailed on then you will have to run another row of shingles.At
the peak you will have unnecessary shingle material hanging over. you will
need to trim all this back with a hook knife in the areas in which your
gonna install ridgevent.

Am I hearing race cars back there? Sounds like Five Flags Speedway!

minthillbilly · September 22, 2014 at 12:16 PM

Materials shouldn’t be to much if your gonna do it yourself. 4 ft sections
of ridgevent are approx. $7 each. A bundle of 3 tabs will cap about 33 ft.
There are about $25 each. A capping shingle is a better choice and they run
about $50 a bundle and usually cap about 20 ft depending on the brand. Yes
you will have to cut the plywood back on each side of the ridgepoll to
allow proper ventilation. The ridgevent should have info on it as to how
far to cut out the ridge. Take care

Thanks for sharing so valuable information. I’m planning to roof my home by
myself and I found very clear information here. Congratulation from Brazil.

Your welcome! Thank you for the comment!

CenterTree777 · September 22, 2014 at 1:55 PM

This is a great video. I am installing shingles and a ridge vent on a shed
and this helped a lot. Thanks. Why did you NOT run the vent to the end of
the roof? Why leave the 14 inches?

minthillbilly · September 22, 2014 at 2:56 PM

Your welcome and thank you for the nice comment!

john casor · September 22, 2014 at 3:56 PM

Very nice video, can you make a how to install asphalt shingle roof by
teaching where to pull a snap line & install a few rolls of shingles we
would love see how it is done correctly. Thank you so much.

The Bowzer · September 22, 2014 at 4:27 PM

Once again, a very good video. I learned something.

CreativeEvangelist · September 22, 2014 at 4:59 PM

Great video thanks!!

minthillbilly · September 22, 2014 at 5:42 PM

Great question! wish i would have covered it in the vid. On the last
shingle, after its nailed down. Trim so theres about a half to 3/4 of and
inch hanging past the ridge vent. you can dab just a little roofing tar
over the nail heads and call it finished or what I like to do is cut
another shingle tab to fit over the exposed nail heads and then use the tar
generously to attach that last shingle. It looks better and there are no
exposed nail heads. Hope this helps. take care!
