Dude, it makes me so happy to know there are real craftsmen like you working. All the carpenters, plumbers, roofers, etc that I've ever hired have had nowhere close to your attention to detail and care. You work on that job like it was your own home, and it's awesome.
+Kevin Dumais that may be true, but it's better than the work I've had done in WV over the last couple years. Wish there was a way for us "know nothings" to tell the difference when hiring someone to do a job.
+Kevin Dumais Then please, why not make some vids of your work? Instead of JUST saying someone did a hack job, in their own channel no less, why not show us what a really good job looks like?
TH-cam has shown that skilled people can make good money online, so you wouldn't even have to worry about how making vids would cost your day job.
So will you make vids and show us how it's supposed to be done, sir, or will you just talk? I really want to see more skilled craftsmen on TH-cam.
a longer version of the flatbar in your vest works well to slip up under the shingles and few taps to the staples the shingles slide on out,many ways to shin a cat.love your work
Because of you I bought a multi tool. Been using it to. Thanks Samurai.
I hear what you're saying about not damaging the old tar paper, but you can get the old shingle tips out. When I have to do it this way, I'll cut the old shingles off at up angle, and plane a wedge on the tops of the new to interlock a bit.
You do great work. Thanks for the tips.
This is a fairly quick and simplified method, but personally I would hacksaw the old nails and insert a new full length shingle if at all possible. The new shingles should in place like the originals...whole and tucked under the one above. And trying to cut through the shingles with a multitool without cutting into the paper....cmo'n man.
There is a specialty tool that has hooks on it. You slide tool behind shingles and remove the nails. The nails should have been put on in a certain nail pattern two up high in the middle two down low towards the sides. Super easy I replaced hundreds and hundreds of cedar shingles that way. Keep up the good vids and good luck with setting up shop.
amen, there is no waterproof sealant or caulk. Water always wins.

I believe the tool is called a "shingle ripper".
+Nelumbo Nucifera Slate ripper
+God of Thunder (UKKONEN) I'm sure it'll be fine, silicon seems to work fine holding back 40 gallons of water in my aquarium so I'm sure it'll work fine for normal acts of nature line rain on a deflecting surface that like :P
+Christopher Brown Silicon is wonderful on any non porous surface. However, on any porous surface (wood, concrete) it will let go once moisture invades. Seen it over and over. Also, it should be noted that 100 % silicon is not paintable. Paint will just bead up on silicon.
Awesome video! I have a love hate relationship with cedar shakes. They are very expensive and a pain in the ass to install but... they look good!
Good job!
I like your videos and I think you do great work. This is not a good shingle job. Controling the flow of water is the most important thing in preserving the exterior of a home. The water needs to escape. Silicone traps the flow. I'm actually shocked you did this. It will work but it is not the proper way to do it. Now people that watch this will copy you and not understand and think this is a great way to do it.
I hope you are using the sped up audio from the Fein saw to make a sick beat. Clearly I absorbed the entire worth of this video.
Nice job.
Nice looking Hack Job, he should have gotten a least one row of shingles underneath the existing shingles, and wrong nails, those won't hold with the expansion of rain water and humidity..
i remember when i first purchased my multi tool , the guy at the store was trying to convince me to buy a recipro saw saying that nobody uses mulit tools , i cant live without my multi tool now and every one i work with has one now :)
great tool, I installed an antique door in an existing door jam. the hole in the jam for the striker in the jam was in the wrong place. I cut around it with the multi tool. made a patch, filled the hole with the same wood and cut a new hole for the latch. if you look close you see the grain doesn't match.
The first time I ever used one was when it was a specialty tool from Europe. I think it was maybe Fein?
Either way I was sold on it immediately. We were replacing doors and casing and it made it easy to cut back the existing baseboard since the new casing was a bit wider.
every carpenter and handyman I know uses a multi-tool.
What type of tip was the guy across the street using on his jackhammer? I sounded like he was using a wide tip and breaking up a concrete sidewalk. I would think he would have been using a narrower tip on that thing.
Now let me make a relevant comment...
Nice work! I don't do that type of thing very often, but if it comes up I'll remember this tip. I hope you can keep up this series. I am enjoying it.

+The Whistler's Wood Shop "I hope you can keep up this series" I second that. And third and fourth, if I could.
you're a boss!
Butted up top shingle will end up cupping, previous owner of my house did this all over and I’m slowly replacing them all. Cut the nails above and split the shingle, they’ll fall out.
I'm a wee bit disappointed that you of all people didn't tuck the new replacement shingles under the old.I guess you are human after all..... ;^)It is possible, and yes it is a complete PITA.A thin mini flat bar Frankensteined in the shape of a slate hook is most effective.I still Love You Man!
He's also using staples instead of ring shank nails. Staples tend to get loose over time as the shingles expand and contract with changes in the weather. Ring shanks are far superior. Once they're in they never come out.
Yeah, we've been hand bangin' stainless ring shanks into 4 sq. of repairs.Of course they were on the first course tight to the roof and tight to the ground.Eventually resorted to pulling 3 courses up. It was actually faster that way.We couldn't get the slate/shingle hook up under for just the first course.
Hey Samurai, did you weave your corners when you replaced those shingles?Keep up the videos...
Does two shingles make a double? Nice work.
Hey Samurai silicone is great for sealing but not so good for paint or stain be careful not to get any on the finish surface. keep up the good work!
Thx for the tips. As a painter I have to say don’t use silicone as it is not paintable. At least don’t use it anywhere that will need painting. Maybe you used it as a generic term for caulk but if someone makes that mistake can cause someone big headaches. Rock on
Thanks for the tip.......it was also nice to see that your hair was "done".....hehe
a longer version of the flatbar in your vest works well to slip up under the shingles and few taps to the staples the shingles slide on out,many ways to skin a cat.
What length staple are you using?
I may be wrong should the lower part be free for water to escape no Silicone
You will get water behind the shingles if you do this, especially if they are unpainted. If you silicone the bottom edge it just prevents water from wicking out. The shingles will bow and eventually crack because the front is drying and the back isn't. You need to pull out the old shingles, use a ripping bar to pull the nails and slip a new shingle up behind the old one. It's not that hard once you get the hang of it.
Are those ball joint connections on your nail gun part of the gun or the hose ?
Its an option air fitting attachment they sell in the fitting bins at big box stores.
Vycor is your friend.
silicone. ... really. .... eesh .... I would have used sika11fc... it comes in brown and you can wipe excess with turps
I don't care how many freedoms you try to sell me, that would NOT suffice across the pond. Inspector would have eaten my head clean off, fudge yeah! Still a good tip for Murica. Did I mention I love Murica?
+acousticguitarpeter ...canadia...
red tuck tape does not stick to tar paper actually. better off either slipping small pieces of tar paper up under any tears or cuts or use vycor to cover them
Watch it again... notice the jackhammer only makes a sound when the samurai speaks... lol.
Woodglut has a very large project base.
This honestly is a hack job.
Silicon is for bathtubs. And not lapping the shingles is hack. Samurai fail
+Chris young Can you explain why it's a fail? From what I understand, silicone is to keep water out, and as long as it can adhere to the surfaces, then it's all good. Why is it only for bathtubs? Will it only work for ceramics and fibreglass? But it obviously sticks to wood, and it doesn't run and is flexible, so why couldn't it be used for shingles? I'm really curious.
+truebluekit first off the fail is not under lapping the shingles. That's a terrible idea to begin with. The caulk will break down no matter what type. If caulk is your only way out polyurethane is the only to go. I prefer OSI quad. Silicon can not be painted. And it is intended for smooth surfaces such as glass and porcelain
Chris young
Sir, EVERYTHING *will* break down. It's just a matter of time. Even Mount Everest is being eroded as we speak.
Anyway, once upon a time I would accept such an explanation as yours. However, I have seen first hand how vids like these make some people jealous as hell, and start shouting stuff like "FAIL" and "I can't believe he did that, what a doofus!" Don't believe me? Just read the comments of some metalshop or autobody vids.
Now, I'm not saying that you are jealous. I'm just saying that I've seen this kind of behaviour before, that talk is cheap, and everyone is allowed their opinions.
Thank you and have a good day.
+truebluekit here's the thing. I appreciate your passion about this subject. The truth is silicon is not paintable period. And thus not acceptable for an exterior siding repair. Google it Plus I'm so glad its mentioned in the next video and I'm not being hater. I love cedar siding I do it every day. Polyurethane caulk is the only way to go. Google it. Hahah
I like most of his videos but honestly this is really hack and Just not the way to do it at all, its not that hard to put shingles out and replace them the right way , silicone ? Really ? Your better than this , this is bad !
Love you videos and the time you put into them but this is not your best work........ Take the time and pull the old shingles out, and NEVER use more than 2 staples/nails per shingle......ever
lol
Lol you are always sick...
This is not right... You'd remove the full shingles above and put full size new ones. UGH
