A roof shingle laying machine having a drum mounted for rotation in a frame and adapted to be manually rolled transversly across a slooped roof for laying and securing shingles in row fashion atop the roof. The shingles are automatically placed in proper position for nailing or stapling as the machine is rolled across the roof and the operator positions shingles atop the drum. At the end of each row, this machine may be automatically laterally indexed on the roof, repositioned up the slope of the roof for laying the next adjacent row of shingles. This invention may also include staplers for automatically nailing the shingles in place, as well as a guide for assisting the user in properly directing and rolling the machine even when the roof has non-parallel eave and peak margins. A tray for supporting a stack of shingles and tensioned shingle retaining means for holding shingles against the drum prior to deposit on the roof are also provided.
