First, thank you for the videos. I appreciate your work ethic and the depth of knowledge that take time to share with us. Second, I'm doing my own roof (first time ever doing roofing work) and it has 3 layers on it. I have to say, roofing is physically demanding and so I have a lot more respect for you roofers than I already had previously and fully appreciate your trade.
I’m doing a nasty 6 layer roof right now from 1970 and we have the really bad tear off bars and we only have 3 or 4 guys there everyday so we just tarp all the way around the roof and then tear the whole thing off and then we all go to the bottom one we’re done tearing and clean all the piles up and drag them to the dumpster then we start pre sheeting and then we shingle it
I live in northeast Oregon and EVERY fucken roof I’ve done working for two different roofing companies (one only paid me a total 300 bucks after over a month of working for them.) every single roof was double or triple layered. My first tear off was cedar shake below three or four layers of shingles. I figured fastest way to do it was parking the dump truck next to the house while I went ham with the tool at the cedar shake until I had a good run along one side. Then I started at the bottom of the roof stripping one row of squares at a time took me 3 hours. Almost entirely on my own to strip the one side of that house but it was better than trying to go at it one layer at a time like I saw the other guys doing took almost three full dump loads to get that roof off. But it was still a one day job. The next day I think the guys that did the install took about three or four hours. There was a lot of bad squares that needed replacing and we had to have someone come out to check the fire damage that wasn’t revealed till afterwards to make sure we could continue.
Sometimes with two layer we cut the roof into a grid of 3’x3’ pieces with a skill saw. We set the depth so it doesn’t cut the decking and then peel up both layers together but they’re in nice manageable pieces. Of course if the first layer is crumb fest this doesn’t exactly work Edit: use your oldest shittiest saw lol that’s what we do
Show me how you do it on oak board decking roofs?My 30 years doing roofing,my dad the owner of company refused every job were the customer wanted to roof over the top of old shingles.
Please do a video on sidewall flashing when reroofing. Like when you're fighting rusted out old galvanized steps that are nailed tight to the wall under siding. I've seen roofers just go with what they have and rely on caulk/tar or they cut out 4" or so of siding, use new steps and then just nail on a 1x4 trim board. What's the proper way? Love watching your videos!
Josh is probably not far off. But if there's not an issue with that wall, meaning a leak, or flashed incorrectly, or missing tins and it won't let us add any... then I'm not usually digging into the siding. I'll make a video on what I do to ensure my walls are good when i come across a nice one
Is there companies that do just roofing demo that get subbed out from a roofer? I’m looking into doing roof demo to offer roofers is there a market for such a thing?
Use a piece of synthetic felt to carry the giblets. Personally, I like to cover the ground with tarps so I can blow the smaller pieces off. I like the way you run 1 laborer per shovel, keeping your crew working as a unit. That's how I do things. I've seen 4 man crews knock out 45 square tear-offs in one single day on a daily basis. Believe me, I carried the trash and fed the shingles. Hard work, but I've earned bragging rights, knowledge, and bad b*tches.
If I want to take both layers off at once I use a potato fork. You might have to go over it with your ripper to pull the odd nail out after. Either it’s hard work man.
Didn't make sense on this one. I do that on a lot of 3 tab roofs and whenever it works well on architectural shingles. I use it often but there's a time and a place for each method of tear off
Look at that fucking mess! If you guys were doing my roof I'd be livid. Tear off looks like shit, garbage is flying everywhere and you guys are working way harder than you have to. Your poor labourers.. Ideal Process: Always lay tarps down below so your guys don't spend an eternity cleaning up. Rip the capping off. Tear off multiple layers of shingles in full sheets, while ripping from the side, keeping the underlayment intact, and taking all nails out as you go. Start from the top of the roof and work your way down. Once the shingles and nails are off, slowly roll the underlayment off starting at the bottom, rolling left to right or vice versa, working your way up. Once that's done, hammer in or rip the rest of the nails. Use a magnet to catch the nails that are loose on the roof and sweep as you go. Sweep the leftovers into the trough, clean the trough. You're ready to prep.
@@SkylineHomeServices that's the fastest way man. Could've used an extra can but anyway are you from crown point? I knew a Sam McLean. Ran weird coz he played hockey
@@NWIVeteranConstruction I'm from Sudbury, Ontario, Canada my friend. My brother got me a job as a roofer, started as a labourer but ill be learning to install very soon. My brother actually loves your videos. He watches roofing videos for tips and tricks all the time.
Lmao 4 guys 2 shovels, I'm not here too hate but next time try ripping 1 layer with 4 guys, make nice piles then work on the 2nd layer.. tips from the pro 😉

You Rock! And thank you for these great videos. Well done!
Omggg! Boy Cub is developing into a "Building Animal!!" Great work, the tough will prevail!!!
Yes he is! Boycub can shingle pretty damn good now too! II'm posting an update video soon
Good job guy’s
Just use 6x8 a small plastic tarp for removing the trash is going to be much easier than the trash can
Good job 👍🏽
This was really helpful. Thanks for posting!
Same way we tear off but instead of bins we use tarps it seems easier but everyone has their ways! Great content 😎👍🏼
Not a bad idea!
Good job guys keep up the good work 🔨
Thanks bud

Sit down. Faster and easier

Nice video what estate you work

Depends on the siding but you should always remove the siding new step and put the siding back on

When you get underneath the two layers do the nails come off two? Or do you have to come back to remove nails and staples?
Most of em came off here if I remember correctly but every tear off is different. Especially 2 layer
If I want to take both layers off at once I use a potato fork. You might have to go over it with your ripper to pull the odd nail out after.
Either it’s hard work man.
Do you guys ever use tarps and forks to tear off?
Yes
How come I don't see you guys using double pitch forks one in each hand
Didn't make sense on this one. I do that on a lot of 3 tab roofs and whenever it works well on architectural shingles. I use it often but there's a time and a place for each method of tear off
Hey zack been gone for awhile. Is there anyway I could get some advice on business situations.
Yea fb me
Yeah the 2 layer tear off goes a lot easier with a crew like yours.
Thank you
Need a equipter bro
Do they sell those kinda tennis shoes in Mens as well, atleast your 1 laborer looks like he's going to work and not the beach.....Atta Boy
Why would you wear tennis shoes to a beach??🤣
Lmao get him crimson. Man there ain't no dress code on the roof. Wear whatever makes you comfortable.
The aasics are the best man... I think I have been wearing that same shoe for 6 years now
Idk about those trash cans boys...
I hate when the new guys always wanna tear off the first layer and THEN the second layer, don't make any sense just lazy
No adds please.
You guys are tweaked out huh
Look at that fucking mess! If you guys were doing my roof I'd be livid. Tear off looks like shit, garbage is flying everywhere and you guys are working way harder than you have to. Your poor labourers..

Sounds good! Sam McLean from cp?
If my boss walked on the jobsite and saw us doing that shit, I'd be fired.

No wonder you take forever
U tearing off defective shingles home boy
yes? he had 2 small leaks already as well which weren't obvious finds.
Weather an part of country determines when too tear. Those looked well idk .maybe where I'm from in NC it's different
It seems like your crew is weak other than yourself. Very weak
Lmao 4 guys 2 shovels, I'm not here too hate but next time try ripping 1 layer with 4 guys, make nice piles then work on the 2nd layer.. tips from the pro 😉
Is this a joke?
