How to Install Roof Shingles – Valley Tip #1

Valleys fill up with water during a big shower and some water ends up under the shingles. If the shingle nails are too close to the center of the valley, you can get a leak. That nail pattern you see on the shingle wrappers doesn’t apply to the valleys. Keep your nails at least 12″ away from the center of the valley.
