Valleys are a prime leak area so it s important to be careful. Essentially there are three main ways to shingle a roof valley.

Water collects in a valley to flow off the roof. One nail goes into the top section of the shingle where it covers the valley metal. Valleys are typically found where gable dormer roofs meet the main roof or when a house has angled wings or additions where two roof sections in different planes meet. A roof valley is formed where two roof slopes meet.

Place the nails along the edge of the valley metal not into it. The valley area of a roof the straight lines formed when two different planes of the roof meet is a critical area that handles a tremendous amount of water run off. Woven closed cut and open.
