- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2024
- This video demonstrates a lot of the common mistakes that roofers don't realize they're making. these roofers all have very little time behind a gun so cut them some slack. Boycub just recently learned a month ago, you can find that video on my channel as well if you want to see his first time ever shingling and how far he's come. thanks every body for watching

Hahaha... Brad holding the camera facing him.. Omg that was fking funny! Great video! Great knowledge!
This channel makes me lol.
Legend.
Has me rolllllling🤣🤣🤣
they get paid by the bundle?
Haha 😂
I bought this nail gun as we were planning to renew all the fencing in our back garden. As this involved 19 double slatted fence panels, 10 of which needed to be cut down in size, we knew there would be a need for a great th-cam.com/users/postUgkxHQsUrwNr5GQrnx9V4xDdUr56qxwuiBHt deal of re-stapling the wooden slats to the wooden framework. Each alteration required the re-stapling of 62 wooden slats with double staples. Prior to starting the work we ordered sufficient additional staples as per the instructions with the gun.The gun performed fantastically throughout the entire project with no jams of misfires. The adjustable power was excellent allowing the staples to be fired into the 8mm slats to the correct depth. For the price paid this was a bargain and it proved itself to be so reliable and versatile making an arduous task much quicker and professional. I cannot recommend this product highly enough and it will be used on many other projects in the future.
Kind of odd seeing a whole roofing crew speaking English dont see that much anymore
Doesn't count for much if the crew leaves at 1 like in the previous video
It won't matter, the construction field has become an unregulated anti inclusive and anti diversity mafia these days.
bet the ones that speak spanish will finish this alot faster
They’re a bunch a numbnuts that’s why lol boycub couldn’t even cut a shingle and he was “killing” it 😅
Well this is the midwest
We all had to be taught. Nobody starts out knowing how too roof
Buddy got me into his crew starting next week. Watching so many videos makes me confident but I know I will look stupid whence I actually try the first time. Hope the guys take it easy on me. Just need guidance.
I was born a shingler baby
I try to embrace this. I wish the people who taught me did the same.
Idk about that it sounds like this douche knows it all and he’ll tell you so
@@lemonesqueze8300 how’s this goin for ya?
The patience to teach needs to be commended. Good job lol
I appreciate it bud.
I totally agree... about to get on my first roof Monday
@@NWIVeteranConstruction that's why you chaulk lines!So new guys can get the feel of laying shingles.Also some people I found just can't do shit right!No matter how many times they do it they just suck at all they do.
@@Willis476 my buddy Rick grace on TH-cam's does it and i considered it. Planned to do it. But the sloppy shingler is gone now so no need lmao
Don't "teach" anyone on MY roof. I guarantee you there are messed up nails on that roof. I don't pay for anything professionals do unless it is f ing perfect for the money the charge, or I might as well do it my self! I am slos but it will be perfect. A hell of a lot better then guys trying to speed nail and f ing it up. F that! Sorry but I'm no privileged white guy with money. I don't have a government high paying do nothing job either.
Stayin positive and helpfull even when they make some mistakes while learning makes you a teacher and not some random prick arrogant boss, respect!
In my experience whenever your boss shows up is usually when mistakes get done, especially when your green to something new
absolutely...lmao
nah, the mistakes where always there, you only get pointed to them when the boss shows up, for the rest you didn't notice them.
You're fired.
@@DataStorm1 not true
@@jayrico6226
I agree with you....
I will kill the game but when the boss shows up and you can feel yourself being watched 🤣
I get uncomfortably anxious whenever he gets close to the edge, especially so when he moves the camera over the edge.
That is one thing you REALLY have to watch roofing, especially when you are working with your back to the edge on the first courses where you work uphill. More people are hurt and killed roofing than are hurt and killed as cops. And as a DIY roofer that's done a few, I wouldn't even think about doing a very high pitched roof, myself.
When I started roofing man my boss didn’t have patience or anything your a great boss keep it up
For real. It's tough out here.
Asshole I worked for didn't even have time to install Jacks so we could walk.
😂Ong
@@ariojalilzadeh3821 I feel it
You should always start in the valley. Why cut 2 sides of the roof.
Great teacher. You have patience and value your team. That's all you need.
The second you let that youngster lay that shingle with the blown through holes.. you failed as a teacher. You just taught him that that’s okay to do, and it’s not. I’m not knocking this down, but don’t teach someone bad habits, or how to slough when no one’s looking. I was taught to do everything correctly the first time, so that there never had to be a second time. After slinging shingles for 28 years.. I still made the occasional mistake, but when I stepped off the ladder, it was done correctly. A good suggestion for those starting out, or teaching someone how to roof.. start them out with pounding nails by hand. When they’re comfortable with those movements, and they become ingrained, you’ll be surprised with the fluidity, and productivity of an air gun in anyone’s hand. The students are only as good as the teacher..
No need to hand nail!Some people just can't hand nail!!I think he should chaulk lines so the new guys get the feel of laying shingles.
@@Willis476 have not seen them snap a single chalk line in any vids n ive seen some other questionable things i would never do
Yeah and who cuts shingles on the finished roof? That's when you see another company repairing a roof like this because it failed due to cuts and gashes made in the finished roof by cutting shingles on it. Not even a roofer myself in just an ameture so I have nothing to gain from giving a neg review but I think there's some bad habits being taught here. I read and was told by buddies who roof that you don't do this particular habit. Pre cut them on the ground then bring them up. The stair step doesn't change weather it's on the ground or 14 feet up. You can already tell that underlayment is being compromised by razor blades.
@@MadMetalShop honestly a good roofer cuts on the roof just enough to snap the rest without hitting the underlayment. It's common practice
Been riding 16 years now. I started out handnailing. Did a 700 square roof in Idaho and learned to love hand nails.
Appreciate seeing you teach and preach to be quality. Keep up the good work.
I really appreciate all the tips.

2:38 - You never want to hear your boss say "water runs down hill" or you know you're being an idiot, lol
He was talking to the idiot audience 😂
It’s good to see a young guy who wants to work instead of sitting on a couch playing video games
@@davecapuano2437 my mom used to tell me that when I was a kid, but the funny thing to me was that so I could fuck off so she could sit and watch her tv lol. Videogames, TV - everyone got their own way of killing time
Brad film me.
Ok.
Takes the camera and films himself instead watching you.
Brad just doesn't want us to know the secrets of the master.😂
::
7:21 Hahahaha
Brad
It's good to see that there is other roofers out there that have pride in what they do. Keep up the good work.
Why dont you cut your end pieces it takes 2 seconds to measure or flip mark...leaving 3/4 of a single hanging off gable is a lil rookie/homeowner work..take pride instead of just over hang and cut later..that's just lazy
Just realised I’m In the uk watching how to do roofing in a country I don’t live in using a roofing material my country doesn’t use
I would be Superman on this crew lol no hate tho everybody's learning
Training 3 guys at once I’m sure ain’t easy. You got a lot of patience. Everyone should respect that. Also has anyone told you that you look like baker mayfield ? Lmao
Brad is so funny don't talk back do it the brad way and film yourself instead...
I just got a roofing job and I’m 13 and my boss told me I have to do the capping tmr so I’m trying to figure out how to do it to impress him 🚫🧢😂😂
Don't impress with bs and speed. Just do a perfect job. I don't care how long it takes you. I'll pay you per perfectly done shingle.
It's great seeing an old school pro teach these young guys how to do it right. I wish there was more of that in our industry.
I don't want someone smoke on the job, period.
U are a true inspiration. U served our country and u can see u treat ur crew like family.the best thing I've seen from u that u lead by example.keep doing u man.would love to work ur crew.
Very informative and highly hilarious! I would love to work for this guy!
Good footage as always.CLOWN patrol. Great patience with the guys. Brad was doin his own thing.
I hope my man shingles better then he films😂 my man buttercup is stirring the gravy kid!!!!!!
Lol you know this by now man
instantly i said to myself, you're not crazy you need to pay attention to nailing patterns always. these aint three tabs anymore! cant be a cowboy behind the gun. slow down. slow way down and don't try to keep up to the bang bang bang of the bosses/ foremans gun. also, my little trick on 36" runs and a 6" stagger, cut a 12 off of a full shingle save the 24 left over and put aside when you need to get closer to a valley throw down the twelve, watch your pattern, put your full into valley keeping nails away from where your 24 on the next course will go, install 24 on next course, full next to that and back to a full shingle on the third course watching nailing patterns as they reverse away from the valley and bingo. you'll learn it quik. i rock a straight knife on my blade and i honestly just make a mark on my shingle flip it and cut it straight before installing on the rake. why go back? hooks are a waste. nice pair of snips for the valleys, works cold weather and all. Do not give your workers a camera either lmfao.
I simply don't understand the hate on here. I've watched every video Zack has made, and it is clearly obvious the man takes pride in his work. Zack - I'd be honored to have you and your guys up on my roof anytime. I know its not possible, but if you came to southern OH, I'd 100% have you do my roof (which needs done). You are very patient with your guys, and the most important thing is that everyone has a great attitude. You are giving these guys knowledge - the timeless handing down of knowledge from professionals to novices. They're listening, and boy cub is gaining confidence. Ignore the hate bud. I love your channel, your work ethic, and your pride. If I'm ever up in Northern Indiana, I'll look you up just to shake your hand. Keep em' coming bud.
You would think if you have a older guy roofing he would have alil more sense about himself you see the look on his face when you had him move so u could show him how to roof an he sat there with the camera on him looking dumb an pissed u had to show him what is the proper way to roof u would expect that for the young kid not the guy who got 15 to 20 yr on the kid ...... Why do u call that kid boycub by the way
Yo zack of all trades. Think thats great you teaching the younger generation how we do. But from one boss to another, why not cut those those shingles up the edge as you go? Then you able to keep it alot straighter.

ROTFLMAO.. (9:11) Brad is flashing his seductive eyes at the Forman and the camera catches it all.
When you trying teach Don’t do it when he standing at the bottom.
You’ll distract him and he’ll fall off? 😜
Being roofing forman for 20+ years this content is great! YES!!! all the little but BIG things.. Love it!
Glad it’s not my roof.
Just cut your rakes as you go man if your starter is on straight you butt your factory up to it and cut the opposite end it will always stay straight and your rake will be perfect
or u can jus mark it take it cut it then nail it which is much easier than having to cut it already nailed down
Why would you not snap a few control lines for these guys to go off of ? Way easier to teach them , to stay straight , check themselves as they go .
Where are you? I'm a roofer in North Carolina and maybe it's because of hurricanes but we do it different.
NC roofer myself. I agree with you
Definitely start from my valleys and end at the rake. Finish the valley and straight runs from there. They are running too the valley like they are laying 3's
Thanks for teaching these guys and passing the knowledge down.
No problem! Thanks for the comment
Though water does indeed run down hill, as long as there is no wind, a hole through many layers of shingles will leak, no matter how many layers are underneath. You should always cover over a nail hole with something, even if there is another layer of shingle going over it. Sometimes the edge doesn't always seal and sometimes a new roofer might not notice a removed nail and he might allow a joint to be there.
Thank you sir for your time and effort you took into producing this video. Very humorous so you keep our attention while learning. Not only that but a great example of leadership and how to run a job.
Make more of teaching apprentice how to shingle videos!
2 things Brad is not:
1. A Roofer
2. A Cameraman
LMAO
I'm on vacation watching others work. Thanks!
"Damnit! Brad's holding the camera backwards again!" 🤣🤣🤣
7:26 yeah no prob i can film this real quick ....i mean myself lol
lmao that was ridiculous lol what I did there would've really helped people understand and important thing too!
he would drive me crazy if I was roofing with him.
they're all a little easier than it seems to deal with. we're a good team, usually very happy n positive
@@NWIVeteranConstructionI think he was talking about you..
@@popcats96 you right fuck him lol
@@popcats96 haha. Good one. I third that.
Yeah it's a pain I the ass working with someone that micromanages like that. I'll bet his crew turns over a lot.
Hey buddy, a few things that you have to change the ladder 2 ft up
Use chalk line for the edges
The valley have to be cut don’t use a single ‘cause the water have TuneIn no stop.
God bless you guys, we can learn together 👍🏻
Water runs down hill until the wind blows
GO TO 7:30 BEST PART OF THE VIDEO.
Lololol
this looka like something i want to get into and will love doing it foreal
The shingle is 3 feet long but you start every 5th row with a 6 inch piece. How can this be good practice? Surely the aim should be to eliminate the use of such small pieces.
That’s so you don’t have seems lining up cuz then the shingle do nothing to keep it water tight
@@geraldweeks5571 I understand how shingles work. It does not explain why its a good ide to us small pieces on the edge of the roof.
I started Roofing when I was 16 years old and I did it all the way up until I was 31 years old and I must say to train a greenhorn that knows nothing about Roofing is very very stressful so I feel your pain brother but good work on training in
So do you pay per hour or by the square
You should never re use a shingle you ripped off
Feel like if I hired this company I’d only want the owner of the company doing any work
His guys a still better than most roofers.
That’s why he’s 50-100$ an hour, and the helpers are 15-30.
BreadLoaf Toast I doubt when he prices jobs he asks the homeowner hey would you like shitty work for x amount or quality for 3x more
brad film me so he fims himself 😂😂 that was great
hilarious LOL
@@NWIVeteranConstruction p.s picked up a new bostitch for 164$ free shipping on Amazon i like the Hitachi too but for about 100$ cheaper cant go wrong
Nice move! I'll keep that in mind
Dude I like how you respect your guys and teach them a trade for a life time I was always wanted someone like you to take me under their wings I didn't have that opportunity but one day when you retired your name will still be mentioned by them or their kids how you guys used to go for catfish and beers after a long day of work and you've gotten along and respect them. Just keep doing what you've doing. Just remember God first people second money last.
I appreciate that bud thanks
Dude, yall are hilarious. I love working with a good group of guys like you guys. Yall keep it up. Your a great teacher too bro.
That had me laughing when you caught boycub about to put the shingle on upside down!!!!!
Lol his voice sounds like he's 50 with a beer belly but looking at him 👍👍👍👍 thanks for teaching me how to do it#diymom
and tight pant shorts nice. hahaha
water runs down hill... 99.99 percent of the time
I worked for siding company and it was just me and him and I just started as a greenie I knew nothing and he would be so passive aggressive with me he wouldn't even call me by my name it would dude and man and he would rush threw teaching stuff so I would be hassy on it I eventually quit because I couldn't work for him anymore so every time you say the new guys name in a louder tone I would start to get anxious then I see take time and actually show him I just wished I worked for you instead keep up the great work
Ps he was horrible boss buy he does great work.
that valley looks sexy!! thx for showing us, that is now my new way..
TOOT IT!! 💪🙌🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Nice that u take the time to teach them man
Hahahaha. I don't want Brad to do my roof LMFAO
Its funny but I have only watched a few videos of yours and already knew what you showed Brad 😄
I am locking for a job I graduate this year I am OSHA certified and I have a good work ethic
Just noticed I'm on my wife's FB. Lol
looks like you found that one guy in a barn on some farm...
"Hey kid il pay you more then your dad come with me"..... 💯💯 Roofings a drug.. and if you dont agree, my neighber needs some drywall done cupcake.. send em pink bizzy cards folks...
Are all the roofs you do low slope? cuz the roofs i do up here in ny are anywhere from 11/12 to 15/12.
I definitely try to stay on the gravy lol
Pro tip instead of overhanging the shingle and cutting it with a hook blade .
Try this turn the shingle to the back side and place it to the edge of the dripedge and cut the shingle on the roof but from the backside using a straight blade, pick it back up and fold it to finish the cut.
Now when you put it back in place the cut will be towards the edge and you wont have to cut leaning over the edge.
I say straight blade because it makes straight cuts easier quicker and saves blades.
I do hope you try this atleast 1 time coming from one veteran roofer to another much respect 👍👍
I actually have tried that! and It was a good opportunity to do the research on whats more efficient also coz I was racing a guy I beat all the time but I didn't have a hook blade, so I had to cut my starter rake with a straight blade (shingle backwards) and do the end rake like you said, he beat me by a minute n a half n I fully blame not having the hook blade. up to you though, if that's your preference have at it man!!
You obviously are not cutting shingles’s in cold weather
This was way to fucking cridgy.....I understand what your doing tho... pressure makes demands....ital be a while till that's happening.....
Q: How did the nosy roofer end up doing such a bad job on-site?
A: He couldn’t stop eavesdropping.
😂 h😭😂😭
Check us out some time we make awesome construction videos!!
Dude 1st off thank you for your service. I just have to say as diy guy and a skilled plumber and hvac technician thank you for your easy to understand explanation on the roofing tips. I tried roofing as a career when I was 13 and only lasted about 1.5 years. I then at 17 had to roof a 36sq roof after hurricane Katrina by myself and now here 16 years later after hurricane ida i find myself doing it once more and again by myself. I am by no means a roofer and thank you for helping me out on all the things I should already know....thanks bro
Happy to help! My newest roofing video will definitely be a good watch for you if you liked this one
I'm getting geared up to shingle my 30 square hip roof. I'm learning from all your video's, thanks for making them! Only thing that intimidates me is flashing around my stone chimney. Were should I buy a bostitch nailer? Online have best deals?
Lowes is the place to go for nailers my man.
The group of gentlemen he is teaching have zero idea of how much these lessons will impact their families livelihoods. Hopefully they pay attention.
Nice one on the teaching aspects. Teaching makes everyone's job easie, safer and maintains high quality.
💪
Quality always! Thank you
Im going to apply to be a roofing helper on Feb 4th. I wanted to get an idea of what i could possibly expect, so i appreciate your videos immensely. Itll be my first job in construction so i doubt ill even get accepted, but i figure it wouldnt hurt to go in with some knowledge. Got a sub from me!!
Hello I am from Vietnam and I luv your roofing tudering. Howerver, my friend from St, Louis, Missouri saids that Chicago Cubs TH-camr are Not allowed to post videos on TH-cam. I dont why he said that.
you guys are great to watch. …
can you tell me what color and style if owens corning shingles you used that day?
thanks.
Man I wish I could work for you. Shit here where I'm at just not going good at all.
What are the roofing saying.
I won't see it from my House.
It's just one nail.
perfect doesn't exist
I been tough the right way.
And the list goes on.
This is more general contractor claiming to be able to do roofing.
:)
says the kid writing from his mammas basement. Waiting for your videos..
Oh I see you're going left-handed to come out of the valley so you don't have to cut the shingles.... but depending on the pitch the pattern doesn't always work out to 5 5/8 and It looks like your pattern is maybe 4 inch and water will track over from the key way and find a nail ive seen it too many times on repairs.
Micro management at its finest. If you have to walk around and correct mistakes or put in your 2 cents all day theres something wrong here. If I had to work with you I'd be gone after about 10 minutes. Apparently these guys really need their jobs so kudos to them for sticking it out. Is there a dislike button?
Water actually gets in between the shingles most the way, don't believe me next time you RIP a laminate shingle off you will see the water stain, you guys do alot of crotch nailing that's when you nail less then half an inch from the start of the shingle and then skip 3 too four inches so water does line up on the seam, if we did that in Canada we would be repairing for days after wind storms, for example look at 3 tabs, you probly havent used that type of shingle before but you nail 4 nails and have 3 tabs covering the nail with key lines on both sides between the shingle with no paper underneath they never leaked, put alot of 3 tab in my day
What're you talking about this time dude? Stay off my shit with your constant negativity lol i ain't with all that. this whole video is consumed with me installing proper nailing disciplines in these guys. N I know exactly what three tabs are n have laid plenty. I'm not gonna respond to your constant thrashing anymore
Leigh ,that's too funny. Basically this is the way he talks to all the workers all day and expects them to be saying "yes master " I'd like to see him be an example. This would be an appropriate situation for him. 😂
How much other stuff did your student mess up , that the great master teacher missed ?? Feel bad for the homeowner & the students this guy teaches !! Sloppy again !! It's not the students fault ! Take the time to teach them right & not screw the homeowner over doing it ...again ..sloppy !
Man. You are a great boss. I'd love to work for you. And you teach people instead of getting mad they don't know how to do something. Glad I found your. Channel thanks for all the tips and help with roofing you are an A+ guy n boss. Keep up the good work n thanks for serving our country
Glad you see it that way! Some people think I'm the exact opposite lol guess they don't have fun at work
Man, I hope 1 day I can be 1/4 the awesome boss you are.
Would love a teacher like this , instead of having a boss that acts up and be a dick all the time you fuck up like if you knew everything,
After spend 8 hours spinning wrenches i can't believe i watched you work for another half hour.
Three rookies on one little roof... where is your journey man... boy cub is kinda cute, he wont last long.
My roof is getting done and a guy fell offf the roof and broke his legs. What the fuck
You're a great person bro i want that Job
