I saved this video ages ago just in case. Just in case arrived. I rewatched this video, made a list, went to the building supply store and fixed my roof. I’m female, approaching retirement age, lifelong desk job - and I repaired my own roof for $108. (I already had the shingles.) I am eternally grateful.
I run service for a roofing company. Mostly commercial flat roofs but I get shingle repair regularly. I also can cosign this work. Personally I prefer rp400 to seal the shingles as it's an asphalt product. Also, I strongly recommend the pac tools roof snake instead of a flatbar.
Sorry to say my sister has no income. She is 61 & disabled and lives far away. She is selling off belongings to raise enough $ to buy supplies to repair the massive roof leaks. Your videos will help her a lot, Thank you for your videos!
She needs to sell her house. When you get to the point you can’t afford to do repairs and maintenance it’s all down hill from there and her house is going to fall into disrepair
I wish more of us contractors took as much pride as the ones out their that really do. Cutting corners is not just bad for business it's bad for the trade thank for doing good work bud
It's nice to see that not all 10+ year old roofs automatically need full replacement if there is damage anywhere. I appreciated seeing the full process of taking out the old shingle, replacing boards as needed, putting in ice/water, new shingles, and caulking.
Yeah they don't need to but for companies to make their money and to pay for their licenses you absolutely have to pay for a new roof because their minimum amount that they can work for is 3 to 5 Grand here's another Secret some companies higher independent skilled installers I need my label themselves as construction companies what sound more like insurance companies to me when you talk to them the guys they hire are sub contractors
Nice work…I thought you was just a smooth talking salesman..Ima stay tuned…wish you was in my area. I’m having this same type of problem.. Thanks again for the video.
I really get a lot out of the repair uncut videos. Very good. Thank you for taking the time to educate us. It is like I am on the roof with you. Thanks again.
Wood working tip - At 21:00. First cut should have been downwards, perpendicular to grain of wood. Eliminates the risk of splitting the wood along the grain leading to moments of "That should not have happened" situation. It probably would have come to you if the second cut also split. :)
This guy is good, and appreciate him sharing with others. Here's a tip he doesn't seem to know. Put your Sawzall blades in upside down. It makes it so the blade is much closer to the plain of the outside edge of the tool making plunge cuts much easier.
Love that hammer work. You make us proud to be American. I’ve been in many industries. And nothing can beat High Quality Work. As it’s said. SKILLED LABOR AINT CHEAP. BUT CHEAP LABOR AINT SKILLED. NICE JOB.
Awesome thank you for sharing, As a female this will help me alot to learn about repair work since I can't trust the bids I am getting if I don't understand what they are talking about. You just don't know how much I appreciate your honesty. !!!
Watching from Ohio, I need to repair my roof in a small area. After watching your video I am confident I can do it!! Thanks soooo much. Your videos are fun and educational.
Thank you for your thorough video. I was able to get a good understanding of what it takes to do a complete repair and do it right. I can now ask my roofer some detailed questions about my much needed repair.
What a great video for a novice. I’m no roofer so this video was tremendously helpful. I can’t thank you enough. I was able to do the repair myself and save over $700. Pittsburgh and Latrobe PA thank you very much.
Nice to see the detailed videos! Thanks to you and other roofers here I was able to get through my first roof and not make the stupid mistakes that you see so commonly done. (Not that I didn't make any mistakes, I just fixed what I screwed up and made sure the essentials were done right)
that roof still seems very solid... i don't believe in redoing a roof unless its in bad shape or home owners have money to spare and just want a better roof that can handle the next 150 mph storm....
Thanks for sharing. I like your 1 Takes. I am knowledgeable about construction, windows, the path of water and how it travels, but I am still not sure about the roofing shingles, and the keyway, etc, I know you work your way up from bottom to top and lap backwards to prevent water infiltration. Lots to know. Keep up the good work. What would you charge to do a job like this? Have a great day.
I'll probably never have to do roof repair in my lifetime, but for some reason I want one of those hammers like you have. Thanks for the informative video.
Nice work. Wish you were in my area ,Portsmouth,Ohio, as I need a chimney flashed that my roofer messed up. He is gone and I can’t climb anymore, 79 yrs old.
Great video! I'm an electrical contractor. I also have become a RoofMaxx dealer in the last year. I'm finding that I'm not as agile and comfortable as I once was on a roof. I like your channel for learning how to address small repairs for roofmaxx business. Thanks!
Your first mistake was not taking off the crown / hip cap shingles and working down to roof edge . Also , a bucket to put pulled out nails and trash into . However , you did a great job with the reroof.
I tried my best to tackle my own roof, had a lot of mistakes that made me have to have it redone. I learned a lot from my mistakes, and learning even more by watching these videos. Hiring your company was the best choice I'd made! Could maybe request a how to of the proper ways to start your shingles, 3 tab, and architecture to where you don't run into rain line (key line?) problems as you advance up the roof?
Wish I could shoot you an email with photo attachments of what's going on with the dormers of the house we recently bought... Bought into the previous owners issues ughhh lol
Good job! 👍 My roof is leaking. Will you fix it for me? LOL! Very informative video. Thanks for doing this video. Now I know the process of fixing it. Just got to find someone I can afford. I'm po' you know.
i like the mag hammer you use,but i just ordered a roof snake for helping save time and my skin ripping off my knuckles... back in 2004 i had a nice 16 oz claw hammer with a mag we used for drying in...handle broke,but i need to see if i can find it and put a new handle on... Great video...
Just started watching your videos. Any advice on getting over the fear of heights AND the ladder to roof or roof to ladder transition? Gets me nervous. Also shoes. I need a good pair of shoes because the ones I have (Running Shoes) have no grip so I slide. Thanks
Have a straight wind that swept through and only took off about a dozen half shingles at different locations only over garage. The rest of the roof is fine. This application would be the answer to my roof damage. The wind tore them in halves right upper shingle level. I kept the torn shingles, they are still pliable, may just glue them back on, may be puzzle getting them back in existing location. You think just gluing them would work?
All I wanna do is fix my roof but it to hard I think I have no expersince and idk what a key way is or anything any extra advice u could give to a complete beginner would be amazing nd very appreciated me and my dad do not have the money to get it fixed at all
I always hate doing repairs that close to the cap here in Maine shingles suck to fix in the winter period we aren't getting over 70 this time of yr so work starts around 45 50 degrees everyday some roofs nomater how easy you are the shingles just crumble and right now we have so much thermal movement day to night that it tears various parts of a roof to crap standing seam is what I try to do most
Great video. For a guy who talks trash on tar you sure use alot of geocell. Geocell is great but a nightmare for the next guy. Keep up the good work 💪. Pro tip: dog ear that bottom laminate too!! Roof on brother
@@jddonahue2flashing, when necessary I use a sbs modified cement. It looks and works like tar but stays plyable. I have a tool for the geocell type products and they are often overused imo
I love your videos. I just had my roof replaced by a reputable company I think. I can't believe all the bad roofs that people are paying for. I have questions first shingles have been around for ever shouldn't there be a one time way to install them and second im curious about the 2×4 decking I have never seen that
So quick question im not a roofer but im super interested in the work and you know just in general expanding my knowledge on the profession but, why do you lift up the shingles not where the repair should be? I understand that that the shingles are all layers upon layers but it looks odd.

Wow! Bless your hard-working soul!!
I do roofs all year long & can say this guy knows what he’s doing , judging by experience 👍🏽

Nice job brian, never been a fan of those smaller exhaust vents, always prefer ridgeventing
Even your 2 year videos are good to watch.
I always give you thumbs up.
Big thumbs up for being a good guy.

Dig your work bro, nice simple application and great advice, appreciate the help
Excellent. Good thing in removing that ridiculous turbine vent.

Great Video. I learned so much. THANK YOU !
Can you give an example or two of what a repair like this costs?
You bring back alot of good memories Most dont even know how to use a pro tool,like we do!

Good Work! Maybe the not so good roofers will learn from your videos.
Thanks
Finally a real roofer, right nail bar, right hatchet, i turned off after seeing both cuz you obviously know what your doing
Great video, I like the longer format showing the whole repair!
Watching from Ohio, I need to repair my roof in a small area. After watching your video I am confident I can do it!! Thanks soooo much. Your videos are fun and educational.

Love the hammer...and the attention to detail...and doing things right the first time so you do not get called back.
All my family love the video God bless you good job and good man

I’ve seen your roofer investment series but can you elaborate on how you’ve done a lot with a little? Appreciate that long form content too buddy
Watching a guy work on a roof on my day off. Today I realized that I’m an old man
Thumbs up cos you a good guy man.
Looks nice. I see the shingles above the vents nearly touch the top of the vent, is that common?
Be safe
How do you like those whirly vents vs regular static ? Which would you recommend?? Thx
Great video. What brand of adhesive are you using. Is that strongest one for high winds ?
Great video. For a guy who talks trash on tar you sure use alot of geocell. Geocell is great but a nightmare for the next guy. Keep up the good work 💪. Pro tip: dog ear that bottom laminate too!! Roof on brother
@Bryan what would you recommend beside Geocell?
@@jddonahue2flashing, when necessary I use a sbs modified cement. It looks and works like tar but stays plyable. I have a tool for the geocell type products and they are often overused imo
@@bryangryder3289 something like this: Henry 208r Sbs Rubber Modified Wet Patch Roof Cement 10.1 Oz. and what is the tool you use for Geocell?
I'm curious too
I love your videos. I just had my roof replaced by a reputable company I think. I can't believe all the bad roofs that people are paying for. I have questions first shingles have been around for ever shouldn't there be a one time way to install them and second im curious about the 2×4 decking I have never seen that
What a brilliant repair 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
