...Shingles.
What's your preferene and why?

I rack'em.
Always have.
Never had any problems.

I don't like stacking them because I'm not used to it and I'm pretty much set in my ways. I don't find it to be any faster than racking them.

What say ye?

=MJW;401279]You only have one point, and that it doesn't say "NOT" to rack them.
Thank you for that admission. Finally. :rolleyes:

Bring it to the attention of your rep and you will find out the truth.
I wouldn't be surprised if you joined me tomorrow in calling our local reps. :laughing:

Why would a shingle act differently after being lifted you say?????
Come on now...quote me correctly and "in" context...

"What would make that particular shingle act differently from the others?"

"from" the others...if the lifted shingle won't stick because it was lifted, then what about the rest of the roof that is exactly the same age?

What's "your" answer (besides your questioning the question)?

You need to go back and learn about the layers of shingles, different mats, and what fiberglass is......think about it........and then re-word what you wrote. I can't believe that was said by a roofer.
Well, I wouldn't dare tell you how to install vynil siding or how to replace a window. :thumbsup:

(Funny, but anybody engaging in Roofing work needs to be licensed "as" a "Roofer" in your state, no?)

=Slyfox;401056]I swear i never once ever used the word "stacking" until i posted here on this subject, So if a term doesn't exist in "Ohio", it doesn't exist?
Ever heard of "alligatoring" or "fishmouthing" or "telegraphing"?

With Gutters, the pipes coming down from the gutter are technically called "downspouts", but we ('round deez here parts) call them "leaders".

I was trying to be funny, hope you took it that way.
The swearing to never using the word Stacking lead up to the reference of you being a bad influence :laughing:, but was doing it in a good jokingly way tho,not in a disputing way.

Yes, roofers have to be licensed as a roofer, but a licensed GC can do everything, excluding plumbing and electrical. This is why I did the GC course. Funny thing is, a person can do siding without a license at all, but they still require permits.


For your other post, just because something has been done for "100 years" doesn't mean it's right.

But you can't do commercial roofing, right (only residential roofing)?

Also, if your gross income exceeds $15,000. from roofing, don't you have to be a licensed roofer?

To be honest, I think every trade should be licensed (even siders). I've seen some wicked siding and roofing jobs. New York is trailing as far as licensing requirements are concerned.

For your other post, just because something has been done for "100 years" doesn't mean it's right.

I'm just going to leave that one "floating" around for a while.

:laughing::laughing::laughing:

I can't even respond to that it's so funny!

Commercial roofers don't even have a license.

Our license means nothing in commercial work, but we don't need it to do commercial work, if that makes sense.

Less than $15,000, yes, in legal terms, you can do anything without a license. Not saying you will get a permit though.


You can let the topic float if you want. I'm the only one responding anyhow. This topic has been discussed too many times as it is.
