At this point, it is a good idea to call a commercial roofer. They are trained professionals who can get the job done quickly and safely. However, you may be determined to do the roof on your own. Plus, this could save you some good money. However, where do you start? In this video, you will learn how to install a new roof shingle by shingle.

Each shingle consists of three tabs. These three tabs are often mistaken for the shingles themselves. Each shingle also comes with tar that is already attached to the shingle.
