Building A Roof Cricket - This Part Is SUPER Important!

What happens here

Begin installing the roof shingles using the woven method in the valley created by the cricket. This involves interlacing the shingles from both adjacent roof slopes across the valley without using metal flashing. Each shingle course from one side is extended across the valley to overlap the shingle from the other side. This creates a continuous, watertight, and integrated appearance. Ensure proper overlap and fastening for durability and water protection. Finally, install drip edges along the eaves and rake edges, and complete the shingle installation on the main roof sections.
