I've been having a hard time finding a contractor that is willing to install a roof vent cap to connect to the 6 inch range hood duct already installed in the attic. Just found a sheet metal company that gave me a quote. However, the quote referenced a "roof jack". I've never heard of it so research lead me to your video. May I ask, what the difference is between a roof jack and the more low profile vent caps. Does the roof jack prevent birds, critters, or insects from getting inside?

I can do this. ✊Thanks for the video.

LOVE this video. Looking forward to checking them all out! Not suggesting there is fault in the video when i say -> screws are great for plywood. Ive found better at correcting for uneven studs/ joists. Firms up entire roof, imo in a good way but i could see how maybe faint wiggle from nails was needed to not crack interor drywall. Also holds well to beeswax or tar, and easy to dip and zip. easy to push below surface and fill, and still easy to remove, vs covering nails.

Great tip, just what I needed right now!

Hi! What roofing caulk would you recommend for using in Houston? Is there any product on the market that won't dry out, crack and shrivel too quickly on a hot Texas asphalt shingle roof? I am looking at resealing vent flashing, their exposed nails, as well as securing down the parameter of roof edges to minimize first course shingles blow off from strong winds. Your expertise is greatly appreciated!

Told us the Nail length (thank you). Excellent orientation of the camera. Clear steps. You are a great teacher😊

11:17 how to install H clips on the top when you have them on the bottom of a board in the middle? I didn’t want to rip all the boards off above too…

Great video. This definitely details the process well. Thank you.

So how do you remove shingles that were installed on top of Ice & Water shield. I've tried to remove some shingles and the top half of each shingle is in contact with the roof which has I&W shield, and as I'm sure you are aware the shingle is now bonded like its grown to the I&W. If you know of a technique to remove the shingle from the I&W I will be eternally grateful. Thanks and be safe up there.

Fantastic video sir perfect pro tips Your choice of music is interesting. I like it I'm almost ready to tackle my project. I think 98 degrees is a bit too hot for my old self to get up there today😉 & it's 5 o'clock somewhere 😊 Thanks again

Thank you

don't take advice from guys that wear gloves

Great tip and it makes a lot of sense. I have to repair-replace 5 of them. We just had a horrific wind storm that blew shingles off the roof. I'll have to repair the roof at night because during the day it's 115 to 119 degrees outside and the roof temperature is 178 degrees. Thanks for the great video.

I’ve always questioned spray foam for this reason. If a 2 inch wide vent was placed linear on a gable roof soffit with a 2 inch thick air gap between the roof rafters all the way to the ridge with a vent. Would that be adequate for ventilating shingles? (2x2 on each side of the roof rafter with a 7/16 osb nailed to separate the foam from the roof decking.) Just a thought I had, because Owen’s Corning sells the vented pieces that go from the soffit to a vented attic, so when installing attic ceiling insulation it doesn’t block air flow.

what kind of covering is on that roof, felt or tar paper?

spray only increase roof temp by 2.7% compared to shingle color which increase the roof temp about 30% and I bet this dude has no problem selling black tomdark grey shingles. Plus the spray foam creates a studier roof reducing deflection and bowing under heat and since it cools the attic the shingles even on the north facing roof get nearly as hot as the south facing shingle if they're a dark color, plus you house gets hotter andd you spend more for cooling. this dude really needs an education

I really like your video brother thank you very much

Could we use screws instead framing nails?

Thank you so much for making this video! You are a gentleman and a scholar.

Cut a little bit beyond the studs.

You said wire cutters like a true SA

I try to tell HVAC and attic people to install screened vents on the ground floor and vents on top, but they just want to install more insulation and new AC systems.

Very helpful video! getting ready to do my own repair. Thank you!

Hogwash

Where are you located

This suggestion of leaving the garage and attic doors is an open invitation to attract rats iguanas and other vermin into your home !!!

lmao there is no way in hell I could stand on the edge without falling off.

Thanks right to the point

hello, great tutorial!. would you happen to have something that covers a skylight?

Might be just a Texas thing. In the north we have attic doors inside the house. Propping the door and a window will do the same if no ac

A tree fell in my roof and damaged the bottom 3 feet of my roof. It just pushed it down about 6 inches. Do I need to replace the whole roof, or is there a way to fix that bottom piece? Is there a video to show examples?

Don’t forget to check for missed nails! This is the first Velux install that have the flexible tubing instead of rigid reflective tunnel. I think this would best suit my needs.

I enjoyed the video. It was informative, but all the camera shaking made me nauseous towards the end.

Great video and explanation. Thank you.

Please buy some knee guards... You'll thank me when you turn 50... Awesome vid... thanks.

I got some issues with your video, You dont show the underside of the roof, what the roof decking is. So we are taking your word about the sprayfoam that is actually sprayed on the roof decking. Now around the 5:35 mark you say the attic was supposed to have attic ventilation then go right and say the attic is supposed to be sealed against any air intake or exhaust, so which is it. Now you might be saying you want a vented attic which brings air from the soffit vents and out the ridge vent. Most attics are getting in the 130 degree range so where is the savings for the shingle there. the sun is baking it from the top and the ambient heat from the attic is baking it from below, at least with Sprayfoam the attic is conditioned and its not baking from below. The sun is doing the majority of the damage to your shingles and not foam. Funny how the shingle manufactures are also Foam Manufacturers as well. Certainteed and Owens Corning have Foam, When they come out and say dont use our product on roofs then i would believe it.

Excellent, it would be great to do a roof that only need to change that part of the shingles and how to take out that part and replace just that part with shingles

Bet you're a fine carpenter, too! I come from a long line of 'em, never heard of dog-earing ridge shingles in all my life, & certainly wasn't taught that by my elder craftsmen. Reminder: Precision cutting of the 3-tab into even 1/3s is also an option, with little to no edge trimming afterward.

Speaking of blocking airflow... Why didn't you try and convince the homeowner to let you move the fan so the beams weren't right in the middle? 🤦

Cheap pipe flashing caused it in the first place.

Your videos are the best thing about TH-cam. Free learning

Thanks good job. This is the job I have to do. I have a smaller vent close by. I won’t have to cut the ply wood hole for the vent but I will have to remove the shingles around it. I’m in prep mode to make the job as fast as I can. You do really good work. I’ve helped put a roof on. We didn’t have any nail guns. It’s like doing electrical have every tool ready to go to make this job as fast as possible. Preparation is key. I don’t want a hole in my roof for a long time.

Thank you so much just the video i needed!! What if the wood support(beam) is rotten? What should i do to replace it? Could u make a video abt it? Thanks again!

30 years of spraying foam to the underside of roof decks, not one problem regardless of 3-tab or architectural, or metal. You roofers are always looking to void a warranty . Texas is a high wind state, 3-tab should be banned there. I live in the real world and also look at many studies regarding the effectiveness of spray foam. Your real world view is an advertisement to get business through scare tactics.

How do you put the tar paper on? To allow it to shed water?

You are great but think of sometimes to slow it down and zoom in to demonstrate exactly how you're doing it.

My first go at this work, very much appreciate the advice and information. I did plan on just sealing the holes. Now, as I already have matching existing shingles, I’ll try it your way.

one misleading video. shingles could be from 5-10 year old and lost all the tar, or installed on a cold day. Kid did a cheap job and now trying blame another contractor or homeowner for that. No effect on shingles form spray foam
