DIY Metal Roofing Installation, Basic How-To Video

By | July 28, 2015

In this video I’m installing some metal roofing over an existing ash-fault shingled roof. This is not a complete install only basic install on a bungalow, I’m not showing how to install in valleys, dormers around chimneys or installing pipe flashing, trims, flashing, gable trims etc. Please check out other peoples videos here on YouTube for more information.

The steal I installed in this video are 3 foot wide panels, 29 gauge. Cost of installing metal depends on many factors, if you remove your old layers of shingles to install new ash-fault shingles you will have to pay for disposal of the old shingles, always factor that into your quot. For myself in the end metal is only a couple of hundred dollars more, also less labor to install and much faster to install.

I am not a roofer. This is just a DIY install on “my cottage roof”, always follow the code in your area and speak with a professional metal installer.
