- This is part 4 of a 6 part video series explaining how I installed a metal roof on my house. In this part I cover proper screw tension, cutting metal for valley, cutting metal for hip roof, and cutting metal for vent pipe.
The metal I'm using is called "crinkle black"
I purchased all my materials at buckeyemetalro...
They are a local company. Google "metal roofing supplier" to find one in your area.
The buble-wrap underlayment I used is Rfoil 2500. It can be found here rfoil.com/insu...
The dektite roof boot can be found here www.ebay.com/i...
The Fabral vented foam closure can be found here www.homedepot....

I've glanced at roofing videos from time to time over the years, and for the most part I always got a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. I've been metal roofing for the past 30 years using the same techniques you are using. Keep up the good work.
So enjoy watching the PRO at work 👍
It was so hard to watch this series of videos. I knew nothing about metal roofs and I learned so much from your videos. Only reason it was hard was that I seen why the roof on my house leaks so much is because it was done so horribly! I feel you have given me the knowledge to be able to replace the metal and do it correctly! Your videos have been saved for reference. Thank you!
Thank you. Appreciate the support! Hate that about your roof.
So, there is a screw called a lap screw (also known as stitch screws). They are used on the ribs where the sheets overlap, and the screws designed for structural support, such as wood grip and self-drivers, are designed to go into the flat of the profile for optimal strength. With that said, I am not hating on you or anybody that fastens their roof in such ways, but in many companies, this will negate the warranty.
yeah right!! you suppose to screw it in the flats< on regular r-panels you screw it in all three flats, then you screw the laps about 24'' to 36'' apart!!
Thank you for the tip :: I did are house . This is my first metal roof .. I was worried about the angel on my valleys .. I took my time and it worked out great . Thank you
That’s awesome Ernie! It’s good to hear from folks who aren’t afraid to dig right in and make it happen despite not having done it before. Nice Buck!
Bravo sir, this will be my first roof install (on my own home) and this was a good insight for me.
Awesome! Thanks and good luck!
Looks great though, I love bronze especially with the texture coat.
Admire the series and how you show how to correct some mistakes, but what prevent the rain from one slope from running past the valley and on to the other slope(and under the metal)
Thank you! That’s what the little A shape is for in the middle of the valley trim. It is to prevent water from crossing over. Works awesome!
You are pretty quick with those snips. I always slice my hands up when I use snips. Great video
Thank you. Yes, there definitely is a technique to using snips. I’ve been cutting metal my whole life, it seems and I still get cut occasionally. Appreciate the support.
buzzsaw301 the trick is to lift the other piece up as you cut , it almost tears as you cut
yea, he goes over those ribs like its nothing.
I always make a wood jig with angle and cut with my evolution metal cutting saw.
Sir it makes understand to learn the quality work
Should use your right and left snips. Makes cutting easier and cleaner if they are used the right way haha
I've been installing g metal for many years and always screw the flat, only time we ever screw the ridge of sheet is withe a zip screw, in case of slight adjustment...
Hi, l very alpreciate you video, why you do not used the butyl tape on each joint, with butyl tape l think the method is different for assembly each panels,
Thank you.
We use tape. Screw in the flat, been working for many yrs
I love my Malco shears
Thank you ! Been wanting to do my roof and needed just this to build my confidence to move forward.... This is one of the best Metal Roof Install instructions on You Tube. What is the gauge of the metal roofing you used on your house ?
He is using a 29 gauge, Residential rib (3/4" high ribs on 9" centers)
Thanks David! Robbie is correct.
so good
Good video tk
I notice you put your screws in through the ribs, as opposed to the lands between, except 1st row. Do you feel that you get a better seal, more durable, through the rib?
The reason I screw on the rib instead of in the flat is to keep the screw out of the water running down the roof. The washers are the weakest link in metal roofing and I like to keep the high and dry. I actually put all my screws on the rib now, including the bottom row. Just have to be very careful with tension.
@@MT_Homes Thanks for the rapid reply. I appreciate the advice. I may have to try that.
Thanks so much!
Haha the warning at the beginning of the video.
Kinda surprised that you aren't using power nippers. I rarely do metal roofs and I have 2 milwaukee power snips.
I’ve never owned one but have worked for guys that have them. They are handy for sure. I feel like I can cut just as fast with a long nosed snips though which I always have in my tool belt without having to chase down power nippers. Also some nippers kinda wrinkle the metal a little. Just a preference thing really. Thanks for watching!
@@MT_Homes I built a garage, using a circular saw with the blade backwards. I use, Used blades, but good ones. To dawl to cut lumber but good enough for metal. I have 26 gauge metal. Thank you for making these videos. I wished I would have attached my roof on the garage with the screws like you did this one.
Will the same technique work on architect shingles?
Yes
Time for some new shoes:)
You’re right. Gotta wear the old ones out first you know. 😂
@M.T. HOMES
great series, you’ve been an asset for my upcoming project. Thank you.
One issue I am facing and looking for you insight...
My end wall is board and batten, any tips on how to deal with that?
I’d sincerely appreciate any insight
Thank you! I’m assuming the board n batten is wood. Let’s say the vertical part of the endwall trim is 5 1/2” inches tall. What I would do is cut the board n batten off 3 1/2” up and loosen it slightly in order to tuck the top 2” of the endwall behind it and screw it in place. You can leave the 3 1/2” exposed or buy a 1x4, pant it to match the board n batten and lay it in horizontally as a trim board. Hope this helps you. Thanks for watching!
That makes sense!
And visually should look good too!
Thanks again
Thanks a liked
why was your mesurement off
Drill snips help tremendously
Might be a good idea to get an external mic, and attach it to the neck of your T shirt, when you are facing away from the camera. It's a little difficult to hear you during some segments of this video.
Yes, I know. I have a better camera now but am also looking into a wireless mic.
@@MT_Homes I also enjoyed your trip in your motorhome. Thought that was real cool. Your wife must be a good driver. I could never trust mine to handle ours.
She was skeptical at first but did very well. Thanks! Working on part 2 now. Should be out next week hopefully.
I cut my metal with a skill saw. Put the saw blade on backwards and away you go. A real time saver and better cuts.
Under no circumstances should you cut metal with a skil saw. Cut looks worse and will rust over the years plus Sparks can burn the paint.
Thanks for sharing
I thought sketchers where the best.. lol. just busting your balls.. good series bro!
Haha. Love my sketchers. Thanks for watching!
11:11 i paused the video to see who was at my door.
Haha. Think that was my drywaller inside the house.
I was always taught the screws go on the flats not on the ribs
That’s a big debate between metal roofers. I actually didn’t realize how many people still screwed in the flat until I made these videos. I used to screw on the flats but would not go back to that. More prone to leaking if you don’t get the tension just right.
He did predrill holes... this helps to not offset the ribs.
@@SGlatinofan More prone to leaking if its on the flats, as it tends to see more water.
Do the screws on the ribs need to go into the wood?
@@zzmorgan4304 that would be a yes
11:50 🤦 you ruined the new foil
Great work, try to wear clean shoes next time. Those shoes tracks will not come out ease
Sheeters chisel
