❓It never ceases to amaze me how a relatively small branch can fall 30-50 feet and punch right through multiple layers of shingles and thick plywood. You'd think that the combined thickness of roofing materials would be strong enough to cause the branch to bounce or glance off and land on its side with no damage to the roof. You'd think that the leaves would cause enough wind resistance to slow down the branch and possibly change its direction of travel, but nope! These crooked, leafy sticks somehow manage to fly as straight as a freaking arrow, and with the magical penetrating power of an anti-tank projectile! Try throwing a blunt, leaf-covered branch like you'd throw a spear, and see if you can get it to fly straight and penetrate a bunch of plywood and shingles. Aint gonna happen! But when it comes to rain storms, nonsensical ballistic phenomenon will ensue!
I have a question. Why did you seal each nail you put? Also qhen you start to put shingle and use nails does it require to seal every nail used for the entire roof
Only put sealant on nail to glue the old top shingle to the nail. Or put sealant on old nail holes on old shingles. No sealant is needed if using all new shingles and not connecting to old shingles.
I see the assistant is wearing steel toe Pakistani work shoes. The steel toes are the more durable replacement ones that are put in after you lose the originals.
This was a plumbing vent at one time, easily see the where the boot shield was. Nice try to make us believe a branch did this hole. LOL Still a good repair.
Good job, myself i could of done that in less then 30 minute, great trick for that last row you gotta nail at the top is put the nail standing straight so the top shingle sits on it, i usually use the thick parts of the shingle, then give it a love tap so its driven in and still standing up then pul out a flat bar and put it on the nail head then let the shingle sit on the flat bar and hit it until its fully fastened, you can also do this with out a flat bar too but you have a good change too damage that row
First off none of you know anything about insurnace. Second you can clearly see that the tree branch was placed in the roof. You can see where there used to be a pipe jack there. Y’all are funny.
We get it. Most people are just like you. They have no idea what they are doing and often times make unnecessary repairs. We understand policy and know everything about insurnace. I am getting this entire roof replaced for the same price as a repair 100% of the time. You can keep repairing roofs why we are out here replacing them.
Have you seen the rest of the roof? It looks in great condition. Saying it needs replacement and just use the insurance means you have no idea what you’re talking about. Have you read an insurance policy lately for houses? They essentially do not cover roofs anymore. You’re far better off just replacing it yourself versus going through insurance. A lot of that was due to the scams down in Florida. It is similar to getting a nail in your tire. Does the shop replace it or patch it? They patch it if it’s still in good condition and in the right spot. Get a life and get more knowledgeable.
Was that a fart? Liking!
I am headed to my sisters house to help her with her roof repair. I appreciate the detail of your video as well as the camera man's work!

@@HighlanderNorth1 I’m glad you understand.
why are the new shingles a different color?
They are lucky to have a great roofer like you around, you got their before the leaves even wilted.
Thank you, very informative!
I can't find that sealant/glue at Home Depot. The sell Quad brand caulk but the description says it's for trim & siding.
I watched for the technique, not caring how the branch got there.
What would be a ball park cost to fix something like this? Including materials. I just don't want to get overcharged by a contractor.
I got a huge branch piercing through mine today. Looks like it's around $700-$800 in the Midwest. How much did you end up paying?

On a hole like that could you just install a turtle vent if the house has none?
I used an O’Hagin attic vent in a similar situation…
I had a tree pop a hole in my roof last week. I was able to repair it myself. 110$ in material.

Good Ideas.
Stained your under ware at 30:06 🤣 Otherwise good job!!
That branch didn't do that much damage that's where a pipe was looks like I should know I was a roofer for 40 years!!
Thank you
looks like someone cut that hole out and stuck a limb in there, probably tried to get a free roof and got denied. thanks for the knowledge though
Did OSHA see that kid in flip flops w no safety gear, LOL

So true!!! a branch would never make a perfect circle hole 🕳️ in the plywood
yep, first thing I saw was there was a vent there...amazing that branch landed exactly in the vent hole...
To be fair, a limb can go straight down in.
@ to be fair, there’s a ZERO chance you’re defending this.
I am not sure, can you restart sir. 😮
Yikes, Flip Flops!!!
You are in need of a bucket to put nails and shingles into .
ritery
Get a metal roof, no repairs, no leaks, fire poof. Good for 100 years.
False.
kid flip flops on a roof plus farting no thanks
Not to mention he shoved that branch into the hole. You can see that he’s clearly covering an old pipejack. This guys a joke.
If this ever happens to your home. Get a full replacement through insurance. There’s no way this should ever be repaired!
You have no idea what you’re talking about. This is a legitimate repair. It is no different than originally roofing.
that's like saying if you get a flat tire, you should replace all your suspension 🥴

Legitimate repair👍
It appears someone benefits from the insurance company.
