Apply Roofing and Finalize Structure
At 0:22 in
Because this house already has such an interesting roof line, we knew we have to be bold!
What happens here
After the roof sheathing is installed, the final roofing material is applied. Although this step is shown only in its completed state in the video, it typically involves installing roofing felt or an underlayment, drip edge along the perimeter, and then the chosen roofing material such as asphalt shingles, metal panels, or tiles. The video quickly transitions to show the fully completed wooden shelter from various angles, highlighting the finished roof, the structural integrity, and how it integrates with the existing house and deck area. This phase also includes any final trim, fascia, or aesthetic details.
Goal: Complete the roof covering and finish the structure
