@lgttb1 Okay, Meryl Streep -- dial back the drama a little bit there. Still just shingles. I applied the ones on my house and many other houses with a coil roofing nailer. 1 1/4" nails. Driven in straight and true right where they're supposed to be. My shingles are still there after 18 years with no blow-offs or other defects. So yeah, it was done correctly. No drama. No leaks. Still looks good too.

@localcrew until they blow off and water fills your home. your roof is worth doing correctly to make it last and look good.

In response to this video being a roofer for 30 years and allways hand nailing my shingles, todays problems with blow offs will be more related to application by air guns due to this application. (my nails go in flat, I know where my fingers are) roofer Ron

So much hostility. They're just shingles, for God's sake! They're just shingles.

@papeluso well, at least with common sense like yours, we don't have to worry about you in a bell tower picking off the townsfolk. you might end up doing it with a paint ball gun and get sniped by your local authorities. thanks for playing.

@BreakfastBentoBox This is why I hate the public.
Yes, absolutely you can use a nail gun. Just be sure nails are not driven at an angel, that you over-drive or under-drive them. Make sure there is enough pressure in the compressor (I believe about 90 psi) and that hose is not tangles, and set the depth on the tip of the gun.
Good luck
