- you think you're a fast roofer? watch this!! I made this video with the Idea to show the newcomers to the roofing trade , a faster way to set the shingle without dropping and picking up the gun every time they nail.
Hope this video helps the viewers to understand the purpose of this video.
Remember this is a instructional video on how to use this technique.
greetings.
Eric.
I was a roofer for 40 years watching this video brings back memories and makes me happy I don't have to do it anymore
♥️♥️♥️ I feel you brother in the middle of my life I feel back pain even when I've been resting all day. This crap sucks but I love it ir makes people proud to do a home right.
Im not a roofer why am I watching this
Antoboolin - 'making roof shingles with hand tools' brought me here, it's not even late I'm just Ketty
Antoboolin - same
Because I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause
to nail them is the test...
to shingle is the cause
same. i wont ever do that job. wth am i watching these. lol
It dosen't matter what the occupation is, if your good at it and take pride in the work, it's always a pleasure to watch !! 👍👍

Roofing Solutions By Eric Garcia dont respond to the negativity - enjoyed the video
Sorry you have to deal with that kind of ignorance. Don't let the crazy people on the internet stop you from putting out this great content.
Roofing Solutions By Eric Garcia Good stuff. I use to frame houses but now it's mainly prefab
Roofing Solutions By Eric Garcia. if you wanna 👀. something. faster. i am a Roofer 2. and ican send u my videos. just let me know.
Fernando Hernandez if u have some videos to prove then post then in TH-cam Idiot.. let's make sure is really u.. 👊🏽🙌🏽 lmao post them I want to see them.. we all want to see them
I used to roof just like that. Good job. Here I am, 54 years old, four low back surgeries later with a cervical surgery coming soon, and disabled, BUT I do not regret having a roofing business. Hard work but worth going out to everyday and working outdoors.
Rob Henderson preach 👌🏼
Rob Henderson much respect 💯👌🏻
It was tough on the beach...but SOMEONE had to do it. 57, did it from 84-06.
So. I saw this a couple weeks ago. And i am working as you say. Boss.
I got a 3.75 dollar raise doing the same job.
But now im more productive and efficient. Thank sir.
Thank you
You got a $3.75 raise because of this method? That's pretty cool..... So now you make 4 dollars an hour???
Yup 1470 a week not alot. But it feeds my fam
@@brockmaine2743 He made $33hr~now $36.75 @ 40 hrs a wk = $1470 🖕
@@faviancastillo7915 congrats my friend 👌
Good to hear that. Congrats! And btw that sounds like a lot of money to me.
This is exactly the way I shingle. The only way to shingle this fast is to never but the gun down, and your advice to put the nail on the line is precisely what makes his work quality. Unfortunately, few shingle manufacturers, very fee contractors and even fewer roofers give a damn where the nail is. High nailing will cause shingles to slide within 7 years, but you can not file a manufacturer’s claim.
Hats off to roofers man. That shit takes a toll on your back... all to make sure you have a roof under your head.
Mrmeowgi a roof under your head?
John Doe. To each his own. That's where he likes to sleep. I'm not judging.
i like boxes pals
Mrmeowgi under your head? you're doing it wrong
Mrmeowgi over your head
I'm not even in this field of work why am I watching this lol
im like you. scratch my head asking the same thing. I think it's because we get read what everybody writes about this poor guy but I think he did a great job considering what he was going to do
iRepFlorida93 recommended/suggested videos, idk why I am here but I am in this field, sort of. I'm in commercial construction not residential :p
iRepFlorida93 I was watching pewdiepie and Jimmy kimmel a couple of minutes ago
iRepFlorida93 saaameee
iRepFlorida93 to make ur brain work
"You think you're a fast roofer?"
....Hey man, I don't want no trouble...I'm just here to WATCH.
Hey Brother, I'm not a roofer but I work in the construction industry, and I think this is a great video. First of all, the pride that you take in your craft and the amount of "care" you demonstrate in doing the job "right", is rare but encouraging. I always love seeing someone who still takes pride in their work. It's obvious that you not only know what needs to be done, but you also care enough to make sure it is done correctly.
Secondly, your willingness and desire to share your knowledge, is the mark of a true and confident professional. Since graduating from UGA in 2003, I've worked in multiple industries but unfortunately, one thing that I've seen across the board, is an unwillingness of people to share their knowledge and/or their techniques with others that work for the same company and/or are new to the industry. In most of these instances it is because these people are so insecure that they worry someone else may be just a little bit better than them at something. As I said, it takes a self-confident professional with a true passion for their craft, to share their technique and implore other's to utilize it.
Thank you again for the great video and for the quality work that you do.
Man I’m sorry he didn’t answer you, this comment was a great comment.
I am 61 years old and a x roofer , Great to see a Roofer doing it the right way.
curtis thompson guns are not the right way hammers are
I use a roofing hatchet but i do have nail guns,,
curtis thompson I'll take my old Eastwing hatchet with a flat-bar or cat-claw over a straight claw hammer any day of the week. And anybody with a regular hammer just doesn't know what the hell is going on or hasn't tried the others yet lol.
SETH WARREN Eastwing are good hammers but I LOVE my German Picard hammer
an ex-roofer, *^
who cares Mexicans,whites, or whatever a man good at his trade and honesty is all that matters. Sir you do good work
He does fast work. His shingles are out of line by 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch and his nail line is crooked and if you look you can see he does not follow his own advice. Maybe this roof will last 25 or 30 years at best. The one I put on my own house 36 years ago looks brand new today and the one my grandfather put on his roof in 1915 is still in good condition and neither his nor mine has ever leaked and that is the most important function of any roof. Roofers today rarely warranty their work for more than ten years and few last more than 30 because of sloppy work and taking short cuts.
I wonder if this was an hourly job. LOL
Always had a lot of respect for roofers. Did it one summer as a kid and found out it's very hard work. Not something most can do every day. Plus trying to find someone reliable. Great job!
I've been looking at roofing videos all morning long to help me learn how to shingle a shed. Here is what I have learned through all the comments I've read.
1. Absolutely NO one does it the same way
2. Absolutely EVERYONE is doing something wrong
3. There are a lot of uneducated people in the business and the industry has a huge training/educational issue
4. I have less and less confidence in the roofing industry
give this guy some respect guys. he did nothing wrong but show how fast he can roof. and all you guys bragging that your faster, get a life and stop bragging. and you could be lying.
529alex 123 correction probably lying
What do they have to do for you to consider them to "have a life" No one ever thinks that part through.
I am Mexican and I have no idea how I arrived at this channel. I was watching asteroids in the sky come February and next thing I know I'm watching roofing videos. WTF? ¡Adios!
Bro I feel you!! LOL hahahahaha
Ambrose Rodriguez bro I was watching boxing and idk how I ended up here😂😂😂
Ambrose Rodriguez lol
Ambrose Rodriguez Tu madre
me 4 wtf....
I l9ve it when people take pride in their work. I have more respect for him than most people that works a desk job. This is a skill. Too much emphasis being placed on degrees.
This guy knows what he is talking about. Real pro techniques. Placement of bundles and everything.
Great video man.
SauronSatan that all is common sense imo , great job to say the least
why such a high rate of thumbs down? i guess roofers are like guitar players- they can always do it better than the other guy.
Me: "This is easy", (nails finger), "nevermind call 911"
ThatKid SoShy Lmao
ThatKid SoShy 911 for nailing your finger?
Dam this guy is good, I've tried roofing once, it's some hard ass work. Appreciate the video
Hard work😂😂😂 try doing roofing in England basically this type of roofing is for pussys
@@gaza19661310 roofing is easy in the uk as well as i have to do roofing
garth walliam lmao if the uk can do it anybody can
Bryan well said
Louis B have you done roofs in the uk? The type of roofing on this video is easy and they are crap, they look like they would only get 20years out of them shingles. Try doing a roof in Yorkshire stone or west moorland slate then you will know what roofing is about.
I've been roofing on and off since I started at the age of 13. Back then it was done by hand. No roofing guns. I've done it like you. The only difference is I lay out my shingles opposite of the way you do it. Good video. Thanks
its just remarkable the amount of negativity a person gets for being proud of his job. Crazy how we should help motivate as a human race but instead we talk down no matter what even if its your own family. good job man if roofs are safe from leaks your doing great
The. negativity comes from the self imposed title and lablr of FASTEST ROOFER EVER OMG clickbait type shit. Any roofer worth his salt in sweat knows he’s just doing it good
Gun Channel this guy isn't even doing his job properly
I salute you. I tried roofing once, and I landed in a coma. It's such a hard job.
Gun Channel theres no shame in it. I dont care . All the mililals n techys that cant hack it. Raised 4 kids n $40 n hour isnt bad. Needed service
Losers come on hear and do crap like that. There is no room for that crap here or anywhere else.
All the people trashing him for being a hard working American,and sharing his tips with the world need to get out there and work.
Yeah, they should get out there and make someone else richer?... work doesn't pay any more in my country. You make more money just by owning property than you do working lol

Thanks for the demonstration. It's nice to get some info on how to install. Love the professional work.
I've been a roofer for 33 yrs, Eric your one of the best on the tube. Kills me when shingles call them selfs roofers. I've noticed you do it all... a true roofer!!
we nail the exact same way up here in alberta. by far the fastest way to nail without a helper good work
Why so many thumbs down? I thought this man did a great job.People saying roofing is not hard work.Really! You should try putting on a 2 story with high pitch.I live in Beaumont Texas and in the summer time your shoes almost melt.
Trump supporters disliked the video.
Mhmm it was a good video to showcase where to place your bundles so you have them ready and not tripping over crap to get a shingle. Also explains why and where you want to fire your nail into the shingle.
@@Eugromlol slow
rogeto9351
The thumbs down are people that lost their job to another hard working person.
Who said this was easy work? They can try doing this in the middle of summer in Florida or Texas.
Big respect, that's hard work man
Quality work will always keep you in business, attention to detail will keep others wanting your work. Love it!
I dont miss roofing - but this white guy sure does miss working with some of the funniest, best hispanic workers ever. Fun ass times on and off the roof.
My dad taught me this many years ago. Efficiency is always a good thing when you don't sacrifice quality. Great video.
this the definition of someone who doesn't just go to work to get paid; but goes to work to improve everyday to be the best he can be.
As a concrete Mason I've seen a lot of roofers and this guy is one of the better ones. Very conscious about doing the job right. Definitely a subcontractor that I would hire.
No messing , your just doing it and doing it well sir .Great to see a pro who gives time to show.
pro my ass
explain matt
a pro does your ass???
impressive, all that in the hot sun hunched over all day. my hat is off to all roofers!
+JJ Botch
I always laugh at the schools today. The kids cant have recess outside because some bureaucrat decided it was too hot. If they were at home the kids would be outside!
Right across the street will be a roofing crew working mid day, Texas sun.
No work, no pay simple as that.
+CncObsession Right! Like all the Facebook posts I see saying "If it's to cold to be outside without a coat then it's too cold for your dog." That makes me laugh. Obviously it's some pencil head who has never seen a husky or malamute(sp)in Alaska.
Or they are in Houston thinking its cold! The tasty animal has fur ;-)
Tiling here in Australia is x10 worse but hats off to these lads at least they've got their backs in to it 👍
if you mark this singles time to go home
Thanks for your video Eric. I love seeing other people do a great job at anything they use for an income and proud to show others how they do it. Keep up the great work sir!!
His name is Ramon
I wish I had seen this before I nailed 28 squares by myself. It took me over a week. Your technique of progressing diagonally is very efficient. Thanks for your video.
That's a days work for a real shingler. Homeowners should never do their own roof.
@@davebrakefield161 Exactly lol. I can't express the roofs I see homeowners and many other "roofers do". I definitely am faster than this guy, but I'm 27.
trust me , not everyone can work like this .
good job bro.
Most people should not work like this.
I've seen a lot of people roof and your way is quick people are just talking shit about it cause they know nothing as long as you set yourself up were everything is in order or getting your ducks in a row then your gonna be quick. Good Job👍👍

I agree and he looks like hes chill and not even trying while many other guys claiming to be the fastest do much worse work and look like they are on the struggles.
Also would like to say i really like his attitude and enjoy working with people like this.
-construction engineering tech.
I’m DIY on top of my roof right now. All I needed was this video, I’m ready! Wish me luck 🍀
Waiting for terminator music to play
Yeah that nail combo sound he had going. Lol I was waiting for the drop haha
Roofers are some hard working guys I respect them all, if you have made a living in the trade, you know what a days work is to be sure. Much respect.
Good old Mexican labor. We'd be lost without guys like this!
Lmao 😂😂 The way he said it, " guys learn how to nail! Thanks for the videos.
I LOVE the idea of holding the nail gun to the edge of the reveal so you know you tab is lined up properly. I'm doing 15 square today by myself and going to try your trick!
great way to get it done faster!!! i would have a Spanish roofer do my work any day!!! fast with quality work!!!!
quality ha.....
Donnie Turgeon IDK why you are laughing. Many Hispanic roofers like Eric are better since they've been doing this for years.

Using the gauge is the correct way my man. I show my guys this and they look at me like I'm holding a hair drier. Been doing it this way for 20+years. I'm faster than all my guys that set the gun down each single. For an hour or so... then I'm out, Boss man's got to go!
Good video bro!
What's the gauge?
@@mikeschafer4440 it's a guide underneath the nail gun. I think it should be at 5 5/8" from the top to the guide for nailing most architectural. Bostich nailers have an easy adjust that's really close. Look it up on TH-cam. They'll have it
I like that your open to opinion and thoughts from other. Must people are close minded
Respect, you know your job very well and actually think ahead. I seen a lot of people just messing up with even the basics of preparations. The world needs more hard workers that are as skilled as you are.
Man is trying to demo METHOD, not SPEED. Speed comes with METHOD practice. He's also trying to direct video for clarity, to TRAIN those with ZERO practice nor method. Multi-tasking, and doing it fast. When you get good, you JUST DO IT. It becomes breathing.
Really fast and accurate. Wish I could nail just half as fast as you do. Thanks for sharing your video. I am going to practice just the way you do it. Ernie
Ernie Hooker accurate? Check 3:42.... exposed nail, no?
Ernie Hooker Ernie, when he says nailing he doesn't mean what your last name entails.
Hooking and rooftop nailing are different my friend.
Have a nice day
i see it. it will be a shiner when he puts the next layer on. nothing a little black jack wont fix but yes i see it.
TH-cam: You think you're a fast roofer?
Me: Dude, I'm a car salesman XD
No I'm a dishwasher
Im not a roofer,but my wife says im a great "nailer"
does she though?
She was just trying to be kind...
That's cool. Nothing wrong with doing your wives' nails if you're into that bro.
Yeah, she said it about me too.
They all say that until the divorce.
Great video and work. Do not pay attention to the haters. I am a white conservative that would rather have hard working people like you in our country than the millions of lazy Americans that are too lazy to work. You are not only welcome here but needed.
when you get legal pay taxes like the rest of us then your welcome here till then go back to your country.
My job is to make sure you do one way or the other
Mark Watt illegals pay taxes too so... your argument is invalid
How do you know who pays taxes and who doesn't?
Sohail Ghani well if they buy products in the usa with us currency they are paying taxes. doesnt matter if youre illigal or not, you make a transaction here in the usa.. you bet your ass youre paying taxes
"white preservative" so your saying your better than everyone else
you'd be even faster if you lay the bundles right way up,not backwards.and some friendly advice....standing on the loose shingles is a good way to go flying off a roof!.
thank you sir, I'll take your advice
Farwest Twocord
yeah, you are right sir
I found how you layed them fine, takes more time to lay everything out perfectly so in piles like that also makes sure u can grab from the same pile for fair bit ways up the roof. For me personally i go fast but not super fast but the thing i pride myself on is a consistent speed all day and i think that is the most important part.
your dumb, most shingles come that way, you would have to go thru then and flip em and on a got day they would stick, the way he is doing it is fine just not fast at all
It's Great to see someone who takes Pride in their work and who will share some tricks of the trade to help everyone be more productive. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Well said my friend. Straight and to the point. I run my own remodeling company, tile is my main trade, done roofing maybe 3 times in my life and HATED it...but just watching how easy you make it look.. k think I'ma switch it up👍👍👌🙌 🤔💥... * Now I got a helper too 😉
Hi Eric,
I appreciate your video. Thank you for helping others learn something.
I'm a gal and I roofed for a year and a half(loved it!). I'm always trying to find the the fastest way to do the job. I call it " Economy of Motion" :-) I really love the trades. Plumbing, Electrical, Construction, Mechanics, Gardening, Etc,....(I'm a welder).
Thanks for having your head on straight and having your heart in the right place.
That's what really matters.
God bless you and your family!!!
Saileen Cruileen Very kind comment Saileen. So you're a Jill of all trades are you? I knew a gal about 30 years ago that was an auto mechanic and I don't mean a tune up girl. She rebuilt motors trasmissions and rear ends like a factory pro! It's good to know many trades.
?'ll?'ll::).c.?11.::).c14th?k.i
Saileen: My Hapkido master used that term all the time..."economy of motion." Martial artists use it constantly to get one-up on their opponent.
i really like how your bundles were laid out. great video.
Timothy Webb me too well organized
Omg
I would love to be in the fastest shingler contest, shingling is so easy it's a warmup to me 🤭 I've been doing roofing for 20yrs now off and on since working with my Grandfather's company back in 2000 when I was just 12yrs old. Grandfather got diagnosed with Alzheimers while I was still in school in 2007. Cousin took over the family business and it's still going til this day. Next year will be 50yrs since my Grandfather started the company, he would be proud of the roofer I have become today.
My back hurts a lot just waching this hard working man doing that for hours and hours on top roof job bless and protect u for any accident 👍👍👍👍👍
Damn fine job sir and what makes it so good is that you take pride in your work...that's a lost attribute in today's world...Great job.
I was so convinced that I was a fast roofer until I watched this. Now I'm left feeling empty and purposeless. Does this life still have meaning?
You complete me- the Joker (I decided to take on darker role models since my post roofing crime days)
Good, good. You are now on your way to your destiny.
I feel really bad for laughing at this hysterically!
TH-cam: you think your a fast roofer?
Me: I drive a tow truck
I always hear roofing going on, but never knew exactly how they do it. Thanks for sharing this!
34 years I roofed houses 3 SQUARE an HR. HAND NAILING!
Nicholas Carter wd
Nicholas Carter haha my dad says that too and still almost does that at 61, he hates the gun. I couldn't use a nailer untill I learnt how to hand nails fast.
Nicholas Carter that's right same here
Nicholas Carter, been there done that. but i wouldn't and never used a nail gun. but have repaired tons of roofs that nail guns were used on.
Nicholas Carter congratulations
His nailer sounds like the Terminator theme. Bad ass and bueno trebajo or however work is spelled in spainish.

chad yeager
I was hearing Who Framed Roger Rabbit "shave and a hair cut" I kept waiting for a giant cartoon rabbit to bust through the roof and sing "two bits!"
Should play the terminator theme on loop for motivation nailing along to it.
I have nothing but mad respect for you and for your crew Sir!
Do 2 - 3 in the same rows going up
More coverage !
Other than that your layout and skills are on point !!!
Good job amigo !
No cuz then ur walking back and fourth more guy
keep up the good work!! thanks for sharing! "you make us blue collar proud"!
Great video , I am very impressed by the way you worked on that roof. Not only were you fast, you're very good too!!!! Nice neat work, BE CAREFUL UP THERE!!! 👍
Thank you for making this video and sharing your experience with us. Its nice when people help out the do it yourself (DYI)community. I will be giving back as well and will submit a video on replacing a attic fan motor from the inside of the attic. its actually an easy job when you have all the right tools and techniques to get the job done.
So much joy stumbling across this video 😂
Totally nailed it!
yes, I suppose he did
Here is a tip don't stand on shingles that aren't nailed in to the roof
3:15 Nor throw down the nail gun as not to damage it, or risk it sliding off the roof and hitting something/someone.
There is no osha there.
You’re exactly right people don’t understand that you’re suppose to hold nail back on Seam. So many people nail right close to Seam drives me insane, the nails will rust the heads and leak and it doesn’t take long
What the hell is wrong with me? I just got off from work, and I’m here watching this guy work!
Same 🤣
You want fast? I know of a roofer who is so fast even his shadow can't keep up!
He doesn't use a ladder...he floats in the air.
Please viewers...get the main idea, this video was made with the purpose to show the technique on how to set the shingles faster with the tip of the nail gun, i can nail way faster than that, but I'm not here to show you all my arsenal, I'm here to show the basics of the roofing trade.
thank you everyone.

Roofing Solutions By Eric Garcia
Roofing Solutions By Eric Garcia well your title to the video is misleading.
Tre16 so learn how to roof fast
Im not a roofer im a fence installer in houston Texas . Roofing is hard work and so is fencing
Julio Lopez that ain't shyt try working in building grain bins and masonry u won't last a day if u think roofing and fencing is hard work
I work at Diamond Pacific as a roofing specialist great video not only did you show your skill but explaining two amateurs all the details as important thank you for your time
I'm surprised this video got so many views as it did. A lot of people don't care to see someone doing hard work. Great job!
You are clearly a talented man and do a good job but what surprises me is that a technologically advanced country is using this as a roof covering. In the U.K that stuff would only be used on a garden shed but in the America and Canada it is used on expensive houses.
Indeed, this is how we keep our economy strong, you have to buy a new roof every 20 years, new material, labor, trucks, gasoline, land fill, etc.
Yea replacing roofs is the norm here. Probably have to replace a roof every 10- 20 years but it only takes a few days to do it. Maybe a week if you have a larger house
Skill Builder but house are also a lot less money... and you can pick whatever materials you want if you have a house built vs buying an already built one
What is it that you use in the UK?
Almost always it is clay or concrete tiles or natural slates. The roof pitch needs to be steeper and the structure stronger but you get a 100 years out of a roof.
when he is nailing it sounds like a song listen carefully
Just like racing, straight aways are free, well that's where the money is. As a builder I would watch roofers get to the valleys and overhangs. That's where the talent really comes in. Awesome work boys, don't let up.
Roofing is an art and he just did a masterpiece great job 💥
I haven't met any roofer yet that nail every nail perfect, we are not robots, i can tell that my nailing is 90% perfect, i can pass any city inspection or architectural inspection, you might see the nails deep but Thats the angle of the camera, have a Nice day!
I agree fully, every roofer will have the odd nail not where it should be but for the most part the good roofers all the jobs pass and a lot of coverage gets layed quickly. ofc us roofers are usually the least appreciated in the trades.
never seen single inspection.....lol

Thank you for this video, I live in Canada and I have to do my roof again after 18 years. The contractor was using the IKO shingles on my roof and I was told that the product has 25 years of warranty, however, the shingles on the sunny side started to fall apart already after 18 years. I have contacted IKO and they are offering me the warranty reimbursement ONLY if I use their shingles again. My question is what is the normal lifespan for the shingles in general? How good these IKO shingles in comparison to the other brands?
Sweet gig. I’d love to get into this after I’m out of the army.
Damn , I’m about to go buy a coil nailer. You made that look fun. Nice job.
It has the beat of the McDonald's comercial
Para pa pa pa I'm lovin it lmao 😂✌🏼️
In this video: I was trying to show the technique we use to set the shingles in place ,so you don't have to drop the gun every time you use both hands to set the shingle in place, I've seen many roofers working on their knees , setting the shingles before they make the video, in this video i didn't set up anything, i just opened the shingles and set them to my left, my left hand is the one that grabs them and my right hand holds the nail gun to help align them in place, it looks so simple but i would love to see many of the guys that use both hands to just set the shingles in place, trying to do what i do in the video. Also i was nailing at slower pace trying to show the nail patern, by the way the shingles are from Owens Corning true defintion, they come in a bundles and they're set up like you see in the bundle, 1 shingle is upside down and the other is not, so you have to flip every other one .
sorry for the many haters that are missing the big picture here, I'll make another video showing the different techniques on how to install shingles.
thanks for watching!!!
Eric Garcia.
I use to tell my crews same thing nail right then get fast I don’t lay my gun down and I place all 5 nails the same apart your 3-4th nails are close to each other and I’m faster I did 6sq in 32mins with a pipe and half of the wall to cut I can hand drive 3sq hour constantly if you have a good thrower you can go faster and torch down I love but mope down I’ve done my share you can have it I seen a kettle blow up on a guy it’s not pretty I’ve seen people hurry and splash people not good I’ve done tin shacks I still like shingles I’ve been luck to work some old Victorian homes with shingles that haven’t been sold in 60years found in wear houses stored up left overs like the diamond shingle they first came out with and them tiger striped shingles most people don’t see them unless you take of a 3-4payer roof out in Virginia and places like that when you buy a gun take the shit of the bottom makes gun faster don’t bottom out or snag on you and it’s not all in how fast you shot it it’s how fast u lay it on key that wins the race every time

I use the same technique gauging with the gun on the one end- only way to do it lol
I'm a 35yr remodeler, although I have no idea about roofing.
It is good to see business owners who are very proud
of their life's career and the work that they do.
I did subscribe to your channel, for work on my roof.
Too bad you're not in my area, I'd just go ahead and pay your
crew to do the job..
Hi, I think you do a great job. Looks great and it's waterproof. That's all that matters. Keep the videos coming. I'm a rookie, but I'm learning daily. I live in Ohio and roof all year long.

Props for nailing, he seems to be a handy man indeed. Personally I would never pick shingles, never pick nails when attaching my roof. Tin plate roof with stainless screws onyl. Just like nailing wall planks you should never shoot a nail from up to down, always from down to up so the outer end of the nail is lower and water can't leak in, it's always leaking out if it gets to the nail.
everytime Mexicans and Guatemalans do roofs I get called in to repair them thanks to you Mexicans and Guatemalans Better Business Bureau keeps giving me plenty of work
