Step 4: Dry-fit the new shingles in place.
Position the new shingles in place. The space in between shingles should be at least an inch or more from the spaces between shingles in the courses above and below. This ensures that water running through a crack will land on the outer surfaces of the shingles in the course below. There should be 1/4-inch of space between each shingle.
 Make sure the space between shingles is an inch away from the space in the course below.
