The Best Roofing Videos on the Net

 There are a lot of roofing videos on the internet. Many are just promotional commercial videos with little actual useful roofing information. Many are quick snippets taken with a smart phone from workers goofing off while at work. A lot just show poor roofing practice and technique.

We've searched for, found and present here, the best roofing videos that show proper roofing installation procedures. Many of the roofing videos we have reviewed are lacking either roofing installation or video production quality. Often both. First we try to find videos with both qualities but failing that we will add videos with proper roofing techniques over production value.

After viewing hundreds of videos, we have found 15 good ones that we can recommend. So far there are videos on asphalt shingle installation, drip edge and chimney flashing, slate installation and repair, ice dam prevention and sheet metal soldering. We will continue searching and hopefully round out our list of the 20 best roofing videos on the net.
