When the pro films and the apprentice ANXIOUSLY does the work 🙂 Love how you told the apprentice to wait to start and showed him verbally each step. Note that the roofers show the viewers to nail on the tar line of the shingles.
I really like that your video show people to recaulk the tab down which is very important. One thing I would change is to bead each hole then bead down the shingle do not put it in a line because the water get in from behind it have no way to escape. Usually 3 beads work for me.
Will you do me a favor and hit the thumbs up button so you too will be more likely to share it with somebody else that could use the same video. You’re the best
When I was a little kid my brother and I would get on the roof and rip sections of the roof off and throw them like frisbies. Not the whole shingle, but parts of the tabs. I regret doing that now. thankfully it didn't rain very often in San Diego.
@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair Somehow we never got caught. It was a naval housing rental house. We did get our asses kicked for dropping sweet gum tree spikey seed balls down the sewer vent pipes in the roof after we finally put enough down there to clog it. I was a little shit, but I've reformed! lol
Not sure I understand. Please help. When you put down the shingle tar, you only put the tar on the side at the bottom, but not arould all there sides (bottom plus the left and right edges)?
thanks....but... crap... I only got roofing nails with the washer thing on them, but you guys only used that for holding down felt... can I use them on the shingles too even if its overkill, or will it make them sit to high?
I had no idea you can mix tar paper and synthetic. I plan to have solar install and I want to partially reroof where the panels are going without reroofing the entire roof.
We canceled it they did give us a new roof though or I was going to take them to court I had so many videos I’ll see if I can find one and share it with you That was one video I have many more th-cam.com/video/a-tDntNhhJo/w-d-xo.html
If you actually knew Billy you would understand where it came from. No longer works for me. I had to teach him the same thing every single day Billy is a 30 year Roofer you would never know it. I taught him how to do the same thing 40 times in a week th-cam.com/users/ScrappingwithGrandpa
I saw one video the guy replaced the whole three tab shingle why would you cut into other shingles to replace a shingle whey not replace the whole three tab ? I am not a roofer dont know shit but it makes sense to not cut anything and just replace the whole three tab
I’ll be completely honest with you that is exactly what we should have done. I do not know why we did that that way I cannot remember at this point. But yes on three tab shingles we should always replace the entire shingle not just a piece or two. It just makes for a better job. Thank you for bringing that to my attention I never thought about it again after I did the video. But you are correct if you’re going to replace one tab or two tabs you might as well replace the whole shingle. It would be just as easy. So my video kind of showed it wrong and if you look at that video was probably five years old. I would never do that again. Lesson learned thank you for the comment I always appreciate feedback
@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair I got a new roof in 2018 done and two shingles blew off I can do basic carpentry but roofing that is a whole new ball game . I have blown it off long enough I have to get up there this week and fix it . I am intimidated by it and dont know why? I guess the not knowing. I can tear into a boat or a muscle car and engines but this one is way out of my wheel house. I am glad I have lots of left overs Thanks for the reply
Fortunately if you have the three tab shingle they are the easiest ones to replace. The architectural shingles on the other hand are a bear to replace so fortunately if you have the three tab it’s easy get a Stanley flat bar they are the best pull the nails just like I showed in the video. If you’re removing one shingle you have to take the nails out for two singles above it’s pretty easy once you get started I think you’ll have no problem at all thank you for stopping by and I appreciate your comments my friend like I said I really appreciate the comment where I didn’t replace the whole shingle and should have because you are 100% correct and don’t forget to use a couple dabs of caulking on the new shingles and the older shingles that are touching the new shingles because they won’t stick back properly. Do not use silicone. Buy a tube of LEXELL
@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair Fortunate for me we have always done carpentry , My Mom was a Union Carpenter out on Valmy Power plant years ago here in Nev . I got table saw skill saws bags nails and two of those Stanley bars like four old school levels a couple of wooden ones boxes of roofing nails . Snap on cordless Impacts and cordless drill. My self I am with the Half Assed Carpenter Union Local 35 1/2 the 1/2 is because we only do shit halfed ass because we dont know what the hell we are doing. I am in good standing with local Half Assed Union Rep. I gotta pull my head out and get my ass up there and get er done. I just get lazy and put it off because I dont know what i am doing. No excuses here . Getting old and a lard ass doesnt help either . I call my shop the Grunt n Fart Repair Shop Thanks for your replies and help . If you need any advice or auto tech shit or boats hit me up be glad to help if I can have a good one bud

Thank you my friend. I want everyone to be able to follow the instructions

Good observation I agree with that
I did what you said. It was a great idea. Thanks for the tip
I agree it could’ve been done better
Thanks 4 d vid. Hurricane damaged a few 130 mph architectural shingles near the ridge.
It’s not too bad to repair. I have a bunch of shingle repair videos. Check out my playlist
Excellent video on shingling. Thanks!
Thanks for watching the video friend
Good video. Good instructions. Thank you.
Your welcome
Thank you!!! Awesome video!!
Thank you for stopping by Mr. Smith
Thanks for the video. Great explanation.
Thank you for watching

love the videos, I would not run a bead across, just put a few dobs down, the bead of cement will act as a damn should water get behind it
That is something I learned the hard way. Great comments. I agree. Like I said. I learned the hard way.

Lol
This is what our parents were talking about when they said: “I hope your kids are just like you.” Payback! ✌️🍷🎩
Lol. That is hilarious LOL too funny
Not sure I understand. Please help. When you put down the shingle tar, you only put the tar on the side at the bottom, but not arould all there sides (bottom plus the left and right edges)?
If your not careful with tar it will crest a water dam. So I just like putting a dab on it a apposed to across the bottom. I hope it helps
Never put it at the sides. Just at the existing tar line only
thanks....but... crap... I only got roofing nails with the washer thing on them, but you guys only used that for holding down felt... can I use them on the shingles too even if its overkill, or will it make them sit to high?
Do not use button caps for shingles or caps. Use galvanized 1 1/4 min
Good job. Does Billy still work w you? He did a good job.
Billy went to work for himself he is now a plumber
It's roofing nails to be used but what is the size of the nail to use?
inch and a quarter roofing nails
inch and a quarter roofing nails
I had no idea you can mix tar paper and synthetic. I plan to have solar install and I want to partially reroof where the panels are going without reroofing the entire roof.
I had solar installed on my roof. It was a nightmare. They ended up taking it off my roof and installing a new roof on my house
@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair - That sucks. Did you have the solar reinstalled or cancelled it?
We canceled it they did give us a new roof though or I was going to take them to court I had so many videos I’ll see if I can find one and share it with you
That was one video I have many more

Nice instruction. Try using a shotgun mike to eliminate background noise. You might need a lapel mike to capture the camera man's (your? ) voice.
Thank you my friend that was an old video so I do have better ones now
Thanx
You’re very welcome

Thanks for stopping by Roger I look forward to seeing you on another video keep up the good work my friend. There’s not many union jobs around here
Why you don't put sealer like straight beam across instead of spots
That’s a good question and the answer for me is because if I go straight across it tends to hold water
@@Drewsroofingandhomerepairdont some manufactures tar strip go right across?
No there broken lines of tar
Don't try this method with an old and dried roof, you will end up breaking each and every single shingle.
When replacing shingles you have to be careful you will break them all
My architectural are not so pliable
That can happen
You're suppose to nail above the seal....
Oooops
Dude, talking to the poor guy like he is stupid geeesh!!
He was. Sorry. Fired him
By the video, it looks like he was never given a chance. Honestly, I'd say screw you if you talked down to me like that!!!
smoking roofers
Every day
Man billy don’t know how to follow directions
Lol. True fact. I baby sit him every day
@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair lol
Yeah we might have to get rid of billy he is out there.
