- This video is a 3-way shingling race between myself, one of the greatest roofers to ever live, and of course everybody's favorite young stud, Boycub. Please Like, subscribe, hit the bell and DON'T FORGET TO SHARE WITH YOUR SHINGLING FRIENDS WHO THINK THEY'RE FAST. LOL. Oh, and as always, no quality was sacrificed in the making of this video. Quality always comes first, there's no glory in being the fastest hack!
#roofing #shingling #howto
This video is my new favorite! I love to shingle, I love competition, and I'm thrilled that I was able to make a video with a long time roofing friend. A legend in the game, a man who is widely regarded as the fastest, quality Shingler in NW Indiana. A man that I learned so much from and had the opportunity to roof with for years before starting my business. Please show support for the 29 year roofing veteran that made this all possible. ALSO, if you don't believe me that this is my teacher....fast forward to 12:30 lmfaooo
Cool video.way to bang out a job by introducing a friendly competition.hats off to you and your crew be safe out there
Way to put nails right at the splice in that first row… We just replaced a whole roof because there were nails that rusted and leaked right at tons of splices. That roof was only 12 years old. I checked the permit form the city to verify the age.
Smoked em with one shoe and one sandal 😆
Lol yeah yeahhh.
Missed your content my friend. Hope you have a great summer 🇺🇸
Thanks! You too!
good job fellas. I enjoy your videos
Awesome, thank you!
Thank to you.
Nice work boys
Thank you!
You're kidding me, the worlds fastest shingler? I just watched the first 10 minutes of this video . Back when I first started shingling we used what they called a stripper to hand nail the shingles, I would install 15 to 23 squares a day. when we started using air guns in the early 80s it didn't matter the size of the roof it would get finished that day. I just don't see the speed here
I installed 40 square exactly, completely alone on a roof. In 1 day. And it was hot out. Giant roof, you can see the proof. I'm actually submitting the video to Guinness at some point because I know it's the most shingles ever installed by one lone roofer in a day. Quality anyway lol and prove-able. I look slow but if you're shingling that often you know you have to pace yourself. I like to keep a 9-12 minute square pace in the open
I cant believe i watched the whole video.
I appreciate that. Hope you enjoyed lol
@@NWIVeteranConstruction I did !
I bet you have some best damn gutter installers to!!!
my gutter guy is the bomb to be honest
@Veteran Construction thanks Zack I know tony and I are
@@ianharris9678 lmao
@@ianharris9678 Ian hahahahahahaha
Man. That was really fun to watch. It was really awesome too see a master using such optimal movement. Made it look easy.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I was able to shingle a 17 square 9/12 hip roof addition to my house thanks to all the info in your videos. It came out looking great so thank you Zack and thank you Ducky for teaching him!
Awesome! Happy to help!
Awesome job boys you both are studs!! But damn Ducky is 49 and probably the fastest shingler still out there!!
yessir i was proud of him for sure. he got 16 sq on this day and it was really hot
My boss was 65 and similar speed, but was clean. All legends
They don't make them like ducky no moe. You need a four man crew to do what that man do.
Very true! Wouldn't mind an extra experienced guy or 2
I have been enjoying watching your channel learning. I just started re-roofing my house. approx. 38 square. It will take me a month. Lol I am 56 I carried 8 bundles of shingles up the ladder and had to go take a nap. Lol no I am glad aomeone like yourself. Takes the time for the rest of us amateurs to learn and be envious of your talent.
Holy shit man have that whole video was just hand right a paper
I know that feeling. Carrying shingles up the ladder on your shoulder takes the breath out of you because that 90 pounds is pressing on your lungs. In the heat that's about all I'd want to carry. I've been roofing for about 19 years. We have a shingle elevator now. I just place them on that and send em. One thing to watch out for with the lift is that lift can come off of those ladder rails and it'll dump that bundle to the ground and could possibly take out a window lol. Scary stuff. Nailing shingles can be fun if your not heat exhausted
Meant to say this. With the ladder lift it's best to place those bundles centered evenly across it. Too far to one side could be the cause of the little coasting wheels breaking free from the ladder. Scares me when I think about it that it's much like a rollercoaster 😅
Impressive, I can't believe how fast you guys can shingle.
@@Twistedmetal-qe8kx thanks! Years of hard work
Awesome vid, Ducky up there in sandals 😂 imagine when he wears work boots 😂
haha one sandal at that!
That may be impressive to people that dont know any better but that was far from impressive for any roofer. Neither one of you is the G.O.A.T. not even close, just like your hip cuts😲. What do you cut up bundles of 3 tab to use for your hip cap cause standard hip& ridge isn't going to cover up those cuts. I watch all these videos of people that think their top of the game and i have to ask. Have you not worked with any other roofers before? I have worked with hundreds of different roofers in the last 25 years and im not seeing anything spectacular in this video.
Omg. He has to be the twin brother of that Zack guy. World's faster Shingler. Unreal. Both useless. Cept the other one has done well. Wanted to fight the Russian guy mma. Such a joke. This guy is like cold molasses. Yes nail properly . Can be done very quickly. Any one can nail down a shingle. No one shows the tough stuff. Rebuilding things. Protecting homeowners castles.
I hate to be this guy, but i cant hold my tongue when a guy claims to be the fastest roofer on earth. But takes 30min to install 2square on a cake area. It literally doesnt get easier than a full hip with no penetrations and 4/12 pitch! You dont have to be precise or clean with youre cuts because of course tge ridge cap will cover... anyhow by that math if the 40 square you installed was a straight gable with no penetrations and walkable pitch you still would be at least 8 sq short of the 40 you claim. Anyhow you do good work but i dont think you could hold a candle to me or some of my guys that work for me. Sorry not buying it.
Man i gotta come learn from this guy, I wonder how many people he taught how to Shingle
quite a few i'm sure. he's so good at getting through all the cut up stuff on houses. he put on 16 square this day when you include his cap and starter and it was a really hot one.
make sure you're subbed because i'm gonna make a few more videos with him
Buddy is roofing with the redneck dad special - the strapped sandals with socks. A true pro.
haha for real
Great shit brother. First off thank you sir for your service.🇺🇲 New sub bell set on all.
🇺🇲🦅🇺🇲
I wanna play, When I step on the roof the shingles cry for mercy, If other shinglers show up, they are already to late and lost. Oh and Im 53 and still slappin em down, in KS
One of the few channels I go to for advice, updates and refreshers. Happy to see you post again keep up the good work.
I appreciate that! thank you
Ive been roofing 35 years and still get it!
thats dope!!!
Does ducky have one sandal and a chuck taylor shoe. Hes with the business
I wish someone would do a video on how to install ridge cap at tricky spots Like intersecting roof lines, or dormers. Every video on ridge caps is a straight roof section.
Good point, I will do that
My roofer is 60. Hand nails just as fast as anyone
Does ne body c that the dude on the rigjt has a flip flop on his right ft and a converse on his left im dying😅😅😅
My whole game changed the first time I saw you roof. Thank you.Both!
Happy to help brotha! I appreciate you watching
Great commentary and I advocate for those on the autism spectrum as an adult #HighFunctioning
As a first time roofing attempt, there's so many brands and prices of roofing nail guns out there, I dont have a clue which one to get? Which ones work really good and which ones have problems?
@Lou-eye search my videos I have a lot of details on that stuff. I use gaf, landmark or Owen's corning duration. Gun choice is bostich or metabo. Leak barrier home depot ice shield, synthetic felt (4 foot roll)
Ok, as a roofer, my only question is.... What is the advantage to Ducky's one Nike slide and one regular shoe?🤣 I'm perplexed.
Haha i don't fully remember but i think it has something to do with his feet. Probably from so many years on the slopes lol
@@NWIVeteranConstruction Copy that. I didn't know if the slide added extra horsepower or what. 🤣🤣🤣 Ducky is beast, much love to you guys, you've got my sub🤘🤘 Roof on brother. 👊💪
Are the safety harnesses that they are wearing OSHA approved???
There are guys like ducky in every trade. Gotta respect those guys, they don’t make them like that anymore. Hard fucking workers.
Seriously. Hard to find.
I JUST DID MY ROOF WITH UHDZ HOPE IT WAS WORTH THE EXTRA $1000 .... NOW I HAVE A QUESTION THE ROOFERS THAT DID MINE DID THE DRIP EDGE JUST ON THE LIP GOING DOWN NOT THE SIDES OF THE ROOF ... IS THAT FINE?
@housbinpharteen7445 they should've used gutter apron on the gutter line, and drip edge on the sides if it has aluminum fascia. There are some exceptions like wood trim
I don’t know, I haven’t really seen shingling that slow but I guess if you don’t do it every day, I dunno
Bro really said 40 squares more like 40 bundles 😂 they slow ash bro I ain’t even know why they said he was the fastest
heyo 12 year roofing OG here, before i watch who wins may i suggest kneepads to brutacub i know you guys prolly all set in routine. I really think knee pads and a proper high quality blade with a new-like bostich gun is unstoppable in terms of speed installment without sacrifice on quality nail placement. And 120 bundle day for ducky thats insane...... i take that as new con, and like 16 hours? can i get details on that? the 2 guys i learned from and myself i would consider the fastest/with quality. My best is 36-38 reno, and like 45 new-con both 12-14 hour days (with breaks). Thanks for content always love to see decent roofing, Respect from Canada
Thanks for watching man I appreciate the comment. And the 120 bundles was all me. Ducky did like 33 sq one time. But yea the day i got 40 sq it wasn't actually new construction. Me and 4 others tore off about 60 sq, then the next day I shingled 40 sq. Completely alone. I filmed every shingle I installed that day because I know most people wouldn't believe a story like that. And I also went yt live in the middle, and in the end so it was documented on youtube for extra proof. You can check out the videos "quest for 50 sq" oh and it was about 12 hour day. When I edited the film though (for a video which I haven't published yet) the film was only 8 hours n some change when I cut all the trips down the ladder and breaks out of it. So I did it all in about 8.5 hours of having a gun in my hand, with no help at all.
@@NWIVeteranConstruction haha i talk in bundles you talk in sq, not sure what the translation is and different manufactures got different sized bundles. Take care looking forward to new content, everytime i see a video regardless of poster makes me want to film some of my work.
@@lukasevenson let's see it! Love to watch other roofers
We’re es the BDR
in canada yelling at pedo's. god bless him
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So you don't put underlayment over your ice and water . The shingles will stick to the ice and water when you tear that roof off you will be doing roof deck on those layers also.
That is true, and a relatively new thing. I've only heard about it a few times but that's not something people commonly do here in Indiana. I've never seen it. Great idea though, just not worth the time and money at the moment for me personally
👍👍 for duck. The guys a stud. Shoe on one foot and a slide on the other. Give that dude a raise. Good job boycub. Come on and make some more videos. No excuses either. I am chicken hawking your videos 🦗 🦗that’s all I hear. I’m just playing. Good to see you back at it. As always you put out good stuff. Always sharing and teaching .
haha thanks man. i appreciate you showing the duck some love too. i'll get back on them
just watched a bunch of videos of roofers falling off of roof from lack of harnesses. not pretty. you guys are bad ass but that wont matter once you take that last plunge. please consider that.
Those guys were on steep roofs doing dumb stuff. We tie off when we feel danger. Also, those things are a Damn hazard on an easy walker like this
Great video! Love to see the competition. I'd love to battle head to head with you one day. Come up to Canada and let's do this!!!
Cone down to nwi and we'll do this! Lol
Your good but I did 45 in a day no tosser my best day
Fast but Not liking ducks nail pattern.
Hi Man. Take care of yourself when on roof.
I miss those days. That area you guys are in is beautiful too..i loved being in areas like that where you could be way up and see for miles in each direction….oh,and I was a pretty fast shingler myself..may have gave you a challenge..
Thank you! Yea we have fun up here
Nice job!! The Legend Ducky!!!!
straight up killed it
racing to see who is fastest but you all missed most important part of job. fall protection
You sound brainwashed. Surely you don't wear fall protection when you clean your gutters on a walkable pitch you can safely jump from.... lol why would I as a professional? Him and I have both fallen, it was our fault. We learned not to be stupid up there. Safety is always first, we just don't do it the way you want us to because we don't like tripping hazards laying all over the place
Great job guys! very inspiring. Getting ready to shingle 50 square on a 1840's mostly hipped roof house.
Good luck!
I was faster than both of yous together.
Old school vs new school.no waste shame on you!
You guys got your Cougar Paws on, lol?
?
Is it 5 nails per bug nowadays? Old timer here
@@mattengels22 we come from the same company and 5 is 1 more than our area requires
lol are we not talking about this dude in his Nike slide!!?
oh they're talkin about it lol old timer whipped me up in a sandal
From what I see they not all that good I will be glad to race them both off a side and I will hand drive and beat them. So don't say he's in top 10 cause I promise you they are some very good roofer out there anytime let me know
Bro. For years!! Him and i listened to People say that shit when they got hired on. Every single one of them was destroyed. Like, didn't even do 30% of what either of us did in a day. Noticing that is what made me 100% certain that making videos about roofing would be beneficial. Helping others learn and drop the delusion. I've installed 40 sq alone in one day. No tosser. Just me and a camera man on the roof and I'm sending the video to guiness for the world record so guys like you can drop the ego and learn. I've also personally seen him do 33 sq in one day. completely alone! about 6 years ago. You have no chance. We can hold this pace for 12 hours and are highly efficient. Day after day. We are different. The fact that you even mentioned hand nailing shows me the lack of understanding you have when it comes to completing a task in a highly efficient manner. Clearly, you don't see what we see because if you did you wouldn't say something so stupid.
@@NWIVeteranConstruction Try hand nailing 20 squares of wooden shakes in 8 1/2 hours, and I'm talking about starting from a small hip up to a dutch end gable across the roof to a valley with an undershot with step flashing before you even put the valley in, and three other side with valley to hip, then you can see what a walk in the park it is to shingle with nail guns
I can do 33 in a day..... Chill it ....
You ain't putting 40 sq a day moving that slow
That's what I'm saying. I don't believe for 1 second he's putting 40 squares on in a day even if he can double the speed of what he's going here
Is it just me or did anyone else notice that he did it with a Nike flip flop and Old chuck converse I’ve been roofing now 29 years my self hear in Philadelphia love shingleing
I enjoy your content, have been watching since the beginning. I have to say, here in east TX we have hispanic roofers that are twice as fast lol, not trying to hate, no way I could even compete on the roof, im just a framer/trim carpenter.
i'm telling you man, it looks that way...but its not true lol shingling alone without a tosser is far more like a marathon that it is a sprint. even the pace we put on in this video is hard to hold for an entire day. anybody that tells you otherwise is lyinnnn lol thanks for watching though
also, it comes down to the finest details. see my most recent yt short and you can see we shingle at basically the same exact pace. the difference that allowed him to beat me by 3 minutes was the finest details stretched throughout the time we shingle. the most common misconception about shingling speed is how fast you nail. speed nailing is actually the least likely thing to contribute to speed, and the most likely thing to contribute to problems
Rarely meet a Mexican roofer who does good work
Faster and careless. The louder you roofgun doesn't mean your the better roofer. I've seen it all in 45yrs as a roofer
You guys activated the beast mode!!! Shout-out to yall!
thank you. we tried
Snap a linelolol
Great video by the way, and thanls for your service. veteran as well. Is this video in slow mo? LMAO jk
How is this fast
I been watching alot of your videos trying to learn something. I see you are from Indiana, I'm located in oxford in. I have an older house and I was going to try to side the top half. I now learned I need soffit and fascia. I don't think this is something I can do. To many angles. Do you come to oxford ? I may try to call if I don't see a comment on this video. Thanks
Lmao
BDR will lay it to you guys! BIGTIME!
Fer sureee
Good shit yo! Ducky is a true caveman 💪💪
absolute savageeee
@@NWIVeteranConstruction you all are savage af 💪💪 bearcub better have gotten you a fathers day card lol
Glad you're back. We need your shingle lore.
thank you. i'll try and keep up with it a little better this time around
Hey do you not put drip edge down before ice and water out here in Utah we install our metal first and ice and water off the top it’s a manufacture requirement
Standing up shinglers never last. 49? pfffttt Carry on.
Great work 👍 👏 👌🏻 new friend from Darjeeling lndia ❤ 30:38
Thank you!
Best intro of all time
haha thanks. i couldn't get it all in one take but i definitely spent too much time thinkin about the intro and not enough on shingling
Chill out bro come to south Florida see how you guys do down here
Ducky is really good!!! Very consistent!
Gun speed sucks..nail placement sucks..bundle management sucks..airline management sucks
Wow! Finally someone who talks about more than just gun speed. There is still hope out there. But listen here bud, I was a little rusty coming into this day, I could've done a couple small things better, but nail placement isn't one of them. That's perfect every time. Btw, I installed 40 sq in one day completely alone and i took into account everything you mentioned x10. Things must shinglers would'nt even consider. You can see the 2 videos on my lives, but I will be posting an uninterrupted version of it soon. The video is about efficiency, so if you think you can teach me something about efficiency, please, go ahead and embarrass yourself lol I'm an absolute professional at this point
@@NWIVeteranConstruction i would absolutely school you on a 12 /12.. wish I had pics just on loading 1
@@NWIVeteranConstruction you were nailing rite in the seem..
@@NWIVeteranConstruction Talk about efficiency, the instructions on the rappers tells you what the side lap is supposed to be, If you set your gauge to that size when you're going hip to hip you run your first course from the opposite hip with the corner of the shingle just a little past the hip and run that course backwards to the other hip using that shingle to start your book and the side laps using your gauge you won't have to do any fill in on you far hip especially on a 4and12 pitch
Fastest shingler alive?...With a Bostich? lol, age has nothing to do with it. I'm 52 and faster than two of you, get yourself a "Max Pro"
Haha would love to see you do my one Square challenge bud. Look it up on TH-cam and post it if you're serious. I'm gonna hold a competition eventually and you might get an invite
Maybe even faster 4 nailing like ur supposed to?
33square = +/- 99 bundles FYI
Yessir. He installed 16 on this day. In the brutal heat lol
@@NWIVeteranConstruction and in 30 minutes !!!
Awesome! Thanks for another video. Don’t know how he/you shingle for so long at a time standing. My back is 🤬‘Ed. Gotta sit and shingle 6 shingles at a time. Get up move. And repeat. 🤦🏻♂️
i just brute through it. god only knows what that mans secrets are lol
Exciting stuff 🤘🏾
sure is i'm pumped
Do I see ducky with a sandal on his right foot?
I hate to say it greatest Schindler that ever lived fast as Schindler in the world, etc. etc. only the ones that post their videos! My coworker put down 51 Square presidential yesterday in 11 hours
I never done the presidential. Don't know anything about it how much help did he have though lol
yoyo sweat sweaty sweet treat wbonedtf were are no eye candy vids at???????????????????????do not do this do not just ditch you viewer base as if we are white stght wed men playing in rest areas late night air.????????dam i could have been a poet yaknow it
Fast but Not liking ducks nail pattern.
I think ours is identical.... what do you see?
Multiple times I noticed 2nd nail from right didnt look like its spread enough from 1st nail on right. How far would you space them?
Watched portions of video again. Duck's nails are to close to seams of shingles. Only takes 1 misplaced nail to cause a leak. Your nails were spaced better and more consistently...You won... Thanks for your service ( 45years doing roofing and counting)
Man that cigarette looks good.
Im about a week into quitting. I dreamed I smoked last night and was pissed at myself.
Don't do it man. I'm about to quit chewing again. Stay strong and never convince yourself that one cigarette is okay coz you have control over it. it's not. You don't. you're more likely to smoke a pack before the days over than you are to have one cigarette and go back to being strong. Learnt that lesson more than once. Hit the gym or something to burn off some steam when you're feeling ancy and don't forget to praise the benefits when you notice them. Like feeling better, looking better, breathing better, etc. Pay close attention to the good. And if you don't notice the good, lie to yourself 😂
nice, hard 2 tell if those reveals are over far enough 4 Canada tho, why dont you think full sheet half sheet will work?
?
I’m trying to get video of a 58 year old guy that would give ducky a run for his money!
I'd love to see it!
Man you should start a challenge! To complete against other roofers to see who is the fastest around!! That would cool to see
I was supposed to hold the 2020 roofing Olympics. I do have a one sq challenge though
He aint playing
Nah we take this match up seriously lol
@@NWIVeteranConstruction its taken me2 days to do two square drip edge . Now i finally will start ice guard. You guys are quick and 5 nails per shingle is icing on the cake. Wow , just wow i watched this video twice
Where are your roof vents at?
👏🏼🙌🏼Wow, pretty cool to watch!💪🏼
Marital Status: Shingle
Happy to see you post videos again¡'
Cool, Well I have done 4 roofs in my life. Did my house 2 years ago at age 60. About 18 square in two days including roof caps and used a lot of the techniques you demonstrate on your channel. I got no leaks so hopefully that will be the last one I ever do.. I mean it will need to be done again when I'm 85..:). Thanks for all the tips you have shown us!
60?? Well shit I guess I have no excuse then. I'm 54 and about to tackle my 2nd roof (my house) next week. My first roof was the garage I built 20 years ago. I'm not taking any chances though because it's a 12/12 pitch so I'm building full deck scaffolding all around at the eaves plus roping in. I'm also slow asf. 😂
@@alien4053 No you don't.. Get 'er done!.. I hate roofing with a passion..:)
There’s the home owner 😂
I’m still ready to meet up and go at it bro!
I ain’t racin ducky tho
Wait thats fast? Lol
Dang guys you rock 🎸
