Review Of Shingle Roofing Installation Ideas. Web when installing shingles, start by laying a narrow row of shingles at the bottom of the roof along the edge. Continue laying your shingles horizontally up the roof.

This keeps them from warping in the dampness and heat. To start installing shingles, line up aluminum drip edge flush with the edge of the roof and make a pencil line at the top on each end of the house. Next, lay the first full row of shingles so they're directly covering the starter row.
