Always wondered what caused this.

More KB garbage, like every other half a$$ thing they do

On my new roof I had shingles installed with copper infused in them. Same price per bundle. 5 years in and roof is still like new. I believe the were made by Certainteed

I just go with a steel roof and not worry about it !

Sadly, I’ve tried to get responses from Raindrop for an estimate, but I never get a return call. I’m in San Antonio TX and I’ve been told that the hot summer isn’t conducive to plastic styled gutters. Is that true, or did the gutter company that told me that just pulling my leg because they didn’t sell the Raindrop brand?

Cheap nails

Cheap roofing materials !

Bleach water sprayed on roof. Problem solved.

I eliminated that problem by replacing shingles with a standing seam roof. A bit pricey but worth it for us.

I asked my roofer when we had our roof replaced 3 years ago how much it would cost for the zinc strips on my roof? He quoted me $400. I thought that was very reasonable! That’s installed. The black mold on my roof was caused by a negligent neighbor of mine who had a shaded roof from his trees. Our houses are close together. He never cleans his roof nor does any other house maintenance. It spread to my roof & the other neighbors roofs either side of him. After I replaced my roof with the zinc strips, no more black streaks. Ofcourse my neighbors on one side of me all asked what it was on our roof. As soon as I told them they were delighted to hear we were being proactive so they wouldn’t get the mold anymore.

Alot of other products like metal problems gone.

With all the fir and pine trees I have around, those grills would plug up with needles in no time. We get lots of winter wind storms in the pacific northwest. I am beginning to think there is no solution to clogged gutters.

The black streaks are algae

Bleach. Bleach. Bleach.

I choose to not look at the black streaks, problem solved. 😊.

No one here has mentioned leaching. This refers to the tar becoming so hot in the summer that it leaches out on the shingles. This is caused by inadequate venting of the attic space or more commonly on cathedral ceilings not having an airspace between the insulation and roof sheathing. Not bacteria growth

Roof decay .... cheap shingles

Limestone is a cheap filler material used all too much these days.

Also tree fungus. They show up and are far more obvious on white shingles (which are rare) and zonolite roofs.

Probably the same thing staining Stucco Finish. Lol.

Check for PFAS in materials.

Whatever you use as a cleaning agent must be properly mixed before application.

And wait for it, wait for it… there it is, the money grab! Just when you thought someone might be posting a video just to help someone… not really!

If you use flex seal. Always use a reinforcement material between layers. I use inexpensive sheet rock nylon tape. Flex seal with nylon sheet rock tape is great for sealing around leaking flashing joints, exhaust pipes, sun panels, roof vents. ECT.

Yes, I just had a new roof installed on my house. I had a roofing company explain this process. My new roof won't do this

I paid premium price for 40 year shingles that bragged of 3M algae resistant chemistry. At 8 years, lots of algae. I also read that while zinc strips look better along the caps, they only work properly when installed a few rows down, so that more rain will wash over them to release the metal. But that is unsightly, so most installers do it wrong.

What line of Atlas shingle and which color is this house done in- looks great. Thanks.

thanks for the advice, I agree and like the total replacement method, I wanted to cover the existing shingles, but I can bear the burden of removal and clearly start with a clean roof surface!!!!!!

Erie home has permanent roofing systems that has copper coated ceramic granules that are painted with a Titanium dioxide paint. They won’t grow algae or fade due to the UV rays. Guaranteed for 30 years. Their metal roofing systems also incorporate the same technology and are Guaranteed for 50 years. They are also rated as the number #1 residential reroofing company in America! Permanent Roofing Systems are the best solution!!!

Garbage. These things blew up in one named storm and because it was a named storm Atlas said it's covered. Roof is only 1 year old. Lesson learned.

Absolutely you should. The contractor should be in constant communication about potential issues. Especially when boards need to be replaced

Info on the Timberline shingle is outdated. Their warranty is much better now.

Duration is class 3.

The sad part is there is no money in our budget at all to pay for last year’s repairs to the roof now it’s rotting and smelling like mildew in the house cause of the crack in the ceiling by our front door

Our insurance company told us that we would have to make the repairs ourselves from last year‘s damage. Then they would come out and inspect and check to see if we have enough damage for them to pay for this year’s damage on our roof.

Owens Corning TruDefinition Duration Desert Rose Laminated Architectural Roof Shingles is what I just put on my roof. It is a gr8 color, and looks awesome in a neighborhood full of black roofs. Remember to replace plywood on the rood with at least 19/32" thickness...

Owens Corning website lists the Duration as a class 3 rating. Your video misrepresents that by saying it is a class 2 rating.

I noticed many years ago that there was never any staining on our farm's outbuilding roofs below any copper or galvanized flashings or roof vents. I think there would be a market for some sort of copper or galvanized zinc cap shingle of that would do the same thing. Something more permanent than the product shown in the video at :59.

Algae resistance 😅 idk why they lie about that. I can’t post of picture here to prove you wrong.

Great video, (thumbs up). I put a thumbs up for a few reasons. As an antenna user and biggest talk of "cutting the cord" I think some people overlook the bigger disadvantages of having a roof antenna and also the dangers associated with it. Sure you will get more channels as I use to have a roof antenna and loved what I received. However, years later I experienced a small leak and the problems slowly escalated from there. Plus trouble shooting can require one to get on a roof. Since I am no roof expert, curious if you ever did a video to explain the damages a roof can receive by just being on a roof. Plus I am wondering how many people take proper safety precautions when being on a roof just to put up an antenna. I often wondered how many people have got hurt putting up rooftop antennas. Sad to think about it, but in the long run, I would rather settle for fewer channels than having some lifelong injury or a free bath every time it rains just because I wanted more channels. PS, I now use an indoor antenna and receive almost just as many channels as when I had my rooftop antenna. Being older, I chose my overall well being over being able to watch a few sub channels which are mainly loaded with Joe Namath and Johnathan insurance ads anyway.

Great info, exactly the kind of comparison I was looking for. Thanks

I've seen roofs with 3 layers ! No leaks to! After a long time they dont sit right.

Great information. Thanks!

Not sure where you’re getting your numbers from this is 2024 bidenomics Layover shingles all day

Don't like HOA, don't trust them, and they are unfair, corrupt, and unreasonable greedy, power hungry vultures !

Stick with IKO SHINGLES THE BEST

Atlas is absolute garbage 🗑️

"Price per square foot: $5-$10" This is accurate. I just got a quote for $8 per square foot because I have 4 layers of shingles.

I m having pinniacle prestine shingles installed on my roof here in fl. Do these shingles seal good? Have you experienced any blow out since you are a roofer who's familiar with this type of shingles.Thanks.

What if i wanted to mount it to the roof of my house? Are there any options that would allow me to do so without causing leaks in the roof?
