How do you put asphalt shingles on a roof.
Many pros shingle in a vertical line up the roof because it s much faster.
Use your chalk and tape measure to mark about 12 inches up on the roof for the first set of shingles.
Every 5 inches make a new mark until you get to the rop of the roof.
Install the shingles so that each one is overlapping the shingle directly below it which will conceal the nails.
To install asphalt shingles start by installing underlayment and new flashing on the roof.
Repeat this on both sides of the roof.
Place the second step flashing piece over the end shingle in the first course by positioning it 143 mm 5 5 8 above the bottom edge of the exposed asphalt shingle.
Once you ve done that cut your shingles to size if they re not already.
Use the chalk line to snap a straight line vertically every 6 inches.
