As an old roofer who installed many roofs of all sorts in the Lake Tahoe basin back in the 1990s, you can't beat the standing seam, snap roofing. They are rated to withstand much higher wind speeds than other metal roof panels and their fasteners are hidden which means no "walk-outs" over time. Standard metal roofing panels with regular roofing screws (with the rubber washer) have a tendency to "walk" (back) out over time, especially in environments with temperature extremes and where roofs have snow loads in the winter. We were always squeezing in metal roof "tune-ups" between our installs which consisted of resealing all the flashings and re-driving in all the "back-out" screws. Tune-ups weren't cheap back then, and I imagine aren't cheap now. Standing seam roof panels are a bit more expensive (or they used to be years ago), but worth every penny.
Thank you for posting this. My wife and I are planning our home on our own land, and I knew I wanted metal, but was literally in the middle of researching the different types. I’m in northern New England, so we have snow/ice loads to worry about. How does standing seam integrate with rooftop solar?
@@k1sfd1974 Solar came after my time in roofing (lol), but I cannot imagine installing panels on standing seam would be any different than other steel roofing panels, as the solar panels have short legs that hold them above the ridges of the panels.. Of course it always pay to inquire with the solar panel manufacturer, asking them if there are any installation issues with standing seam panels.
@@k1sfd1974 The key to weather tight standing seam is no penetrations on the weather side. Kind of defeats the purpose to come back and mount solar panels on it.
My wife and I built our own house. We used weather watch (Ice and Water layer) on the whole roof, not combination of weather watch and underlay. We did not worry about rain. I say this for people watching that might be planning their own build, if you delay roofing use weather watch on the whole roof.
A tip for somebody else in the same situation is to just chalk line and bulk cut all the panels at the end. Small improvements in efficiency add up on such a big job
All my buddies who are builders always heave a sigh a relief when they get " dried in". I had a strong building and I had the delivery crane set the whole roofing bundle on the roof. Saved me some work, and the metal never got bent.
That's a great time saver, as long as you have load bearing walls in the spot where you drop the bundle of metal (or a bunk of plywood) if not you could very well have that bundle of metal crashing through not only the roof, but the floor below as well. Seen it happen.
I absolutely adore Courtney and Riley’s relationship, the little teasing jokes about the “cracks on the roof” had me smiling so hard. I hope to overcome this mental illness of suicidal ideation so I find love again and be a Courtney to my Riley. 😊
My mother explained to me the only people you will hurt are the ones that love you, I am 72 and still thank my mother for that long night we had together , and listen to Billy Graham , thankyou
Your team did a remarkable job on the roof to beat the weather and it looks fabulous you all deserve a round of applause. Congratulations from Yorkshire in the UK.
Perfect choice on the standing seam metal roof, especially with your single slope roof design. It really does elevate the building to another level aesthetically.
I'm a complete construction klutz. I hurt myself if I use a hammer or a screwdriver. Thankfully it doesn't seem to get into the way in the pursuit of my 60 year career as a musician. I must say that I rarely find a video online more inspirational than yours and this one is at the very top of my list. Thank you for your drive and determination, a well crafted video and your obvious great love for one another. Your ambition is pure inspiration.
Love how real you guy’s always are! Courtney watching utube videos on roofing is the best! I believe you are going to reach a million subs very soon🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s
With the length of metal glad Chris arrived. I hear your complains with the back pain. I have always been a DIY person. Replaced the metal Roof on my duplex in July here in NC. Crazy move at 92 degrees. Seems it’s always hot or cold when these project materializes. Y’all are still young, trust me at 67 everything is a more difficult with projects physically. However it keeps us ole folks more active. Enjoy your youth and getter done. BRW, we did see a crack on the roof. lol. Love you guys.
Oh - - - - my - - - - Gracious ! You people are absolutely amazing! I am lost for words at how you take on projects for which are brand new to you. And may I say that I am completely dumbfounded by the fact that one of the steps for completing the roof was STEPPING on the sheet to put it in place! I feel honored to be a long time supporter. It makes me feel a little bit like I was on the roof with you. I love you guys.
The hardest part is knowing how to win the race against time. Then comes learning new skills and getting the hang of them. Finally comes determination and resistance to fatigue. All qualities that the Ambition Strikes team possesses in abundance!👏
You two are the best. Working in tandem to get things done, we know that many more things are happening behind the camera, but the two of you make it a lot easier than it seems. My wife and I are always waiting for the next upload. HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOUR FAMILIES!❤ Peace.
Great job! We love our standing seam metal roof. We’ve never been sorry. In fact someone called me a couple of weeks ago and wanted a recommendation because they were considering one. Shout to B&H.
Putting on gutters in a cold climate is fine. However, you should also install "avalanche protection". This is metal that goes at 90 degrees to the standing seam a bit back of the low edge of the roof and prevents the snow from sliding down and destroying your gutters. All that will get in the gutters is the snow melt, not a huge heavy amount of snow. I live in Colorado where we get snow and that method has worked well for us. The alternative is to have NO gutters and to skip avalanche protection. But, then you get a huge amount of snow sliding off the roof and piling up around the perimeter of the house. The official name for these is "snow guards".
I don't know why to use snow breakers or avalanche protection or snow guards when roofs are made in snowy areas to get rid of that snow to stay out of your roof... It is better to replace those cheap gutters than blowing all of your house..
Back in the 80's myself and family put on 4 roofs on a 40' x 108' barn I was building. We used a standing seam roof from a company in Salem, OR called Dana Brothers. The worst part of the roof was getting it off the semi as I had no fork truck or lift available. we ended up damaging a few pieces but a friend of mine was into auto body repair and fixed the bends that were put in the metal from unloading. It took myself and family all summer long to tar paper and lay the metal roofing. There was a 50 year warranty on the metal and 30 year on the paint. I had to build my own break for the metal which was made out of 1" bar stock and rebar for a handle. I learned from that journey that it is better to hire a professional, not that the roof was installed incorrectly, but the time it takes to install. Since then I have had a standing seam roof put on my current home and love it! Stay safe you guys!
We miss the mighty Andrew!!! Saxon of a son!!you guys are pretty cool too!oliver will be helping you soon enough. Place looks fabulous guys,hang in there, getting close.god bless you all!!
You guys are amazing! Never hesitate to learn something new and then dive right in. Your ability to work together as a husband and wife team without any drama is really inspiring to watch. Congratulations on this build thus far. Can't wait to see the finished product. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. 🦃🦃
What was that rule? Measure once, cut twice? But you‘re right, better too long than too short. Unless you mess up again and hit the other jackpot: Cut twice and still too short! I learned all that 60 years ago when I worked in construction in my summer break in high school!
I was thinking the same thing and wondering what the heck would they do if they were a foot short? Can you actually order more material and just add 1 foot sections? That would be horrible.
@@postersm7141 They would have to add on another room so they can use the roofing materials. If you have a extra sink faucet, you build another bathroom for it. What else? 😂
you picked the best possible type of roof! I got to spend a summer during college learning sheet metal construction and I think y'all nailed it! I have a great appreciation for Atlas rubberized gloves working with sheet metal, lots of grip and prevents a lot of cuts!
We live in central Washington and routinely get snow and below 0 temps in winter. I have composition roof and gutters. The front of the house faces north and rear faces south. (Obvviously😀) During long cold spells of below freezing weather the north gutters fill with snow melt and freeze the water in the gutters solid. The following summer I installed heat wire in the gutters on the north side only. I leave the wire energized during the coldest part of the winter have had no new freezing episodes since. Wonderful video series of the house build. Thanks.
We're building a pole barn house. The builder used the typical ply-vinyl roofing underlayment on the roof, which leaked like a sieve during all of the last round of rainstorms. When I spoke to the builder about it, he said it would be fine once the metal was on the roof. Sure, what could go wrong with 50,000 screws through your roof. We opted to go buck wild and tore off the underlayment and put Epilay Epistik peel and stick on the entire roof. I hope the cost is worth it. Good on you for trying this install yourself. It looks great.
Riley, I know it doesn't look as good, but I put my rivets down through the downspout flange, with the rivets up the leaves start to build up and block water flow, then it gets cold and the leaves freeze blocking snowmelt,
Good job, guys. No broken bones and only one hammer drop on someone for the entire roof. It is hard work and now the rest of the story for us to enjoy in the coming episode, you rock.
Strongly recommend putting leaf guards over tops of all your gutters to avoid having first heavy snow melt with sliding snow coming down roof from dragging gutters off.
I had this type of roof installed about 10 years Ago . My insurance company gave me a10% discount because of fire resistance. You might check with your insurance company. Looks good. God bless
This is the best build series I've seen in quite a while. It gives me some confidence I could easily pull off a smaller cabin even in my older years. 😀
RR Buildings YT channel are pros and explain metal roofing and siding extremely well. Might be worth watching. ❤ The house is looking great 👍 P.S. OOPS I should have watched your entire video b4 commenting. Of well my heart was in the right place, trying to help.
Great job guys! I'm a big fan of standing seam roofing. Did my whole roof myself and was difficult as we have 4 valleys but after was very satisfying. Ill never need to go back up to reroof in my lifetime. Worth the investment.
After 50 years in the mountains and snow and construction, I recommend rain chain no downspouts no end caps on the gutters give the ice a place to go Also full ice and water membrane on the whole roof
Great job! You ought to protect the gutters from sliding ice and snow with a TRA snow fence out of Pleasant Grove, Ut. They look great and also keep the snow from coming off too fast. Although that may be something you want to happen.
Yes to gutters. Keeps the water from building up a nice slick ice slide underneath. But you do have to have the right slope and system to prevent ice dams.
Courtney - beside of the tops you mentioned about that material: Other methods need a lot of work too. So - getting the sturdy material is absolutely worth the (little) more effort.
Thanks for sharing all of this. I had seen them from a distance, another channel I watch had it installed o their roof(They didn't tackle it themselves) But, now I better understand the mechanics of it a lot better! I like learning something new!
We have a 27 gauge metal roof. Found out by accident a good snow hack. They were supposed to put gutter guards on some of our gutters. We have a steep roof. They told us we needed a strip of metal along the roof to slow down the water so it would not shoot over the gutter. They then forgot to put the guards on but we have the strips down. The snow, what little we get in TN, builds up and slides off the roof and rips the gutters off. Except where those strips are that holds the snow from sliding on metal roofs. Or you have to lower the gutters below the arch of the snow that curls off. Or replace the gutters a lot.
Great job on the roof choice. I learned a lot watching you two. The best part about this roof is that by the time it’s due for the next roof your sweet grand kids will get to do it for you. Now that’s an amazing thought. 😉
About gutters... My husband and I have lived in a suburb of north Minneapolis for about 20 years. We are in an "association" of 16 stand-alone homes, and nobody has gutters. We like it that way! No ice jams in the winter...no leaves clogging the gutters. The rain falls off the roof and waters the shrubs and flower beds below! It works well for us! (Love you guys! Thanks for sharing your life with me!)
Opinion on gutters in cold weather, from a long-time East Idaho subscriber. (1) absolutely necessary; we went without gutters for a couple of years, and it was miserable; (2) always hired it out, but I'm only about a quarter as ambitious and talented as you. I'm a believer in continuous gutters manufactured on site; (3) get leaf guards.
I HATE Gutters. I LOVE 24” overhangs that shield my one story home from most rain, moisture and summer sun while allowing winter sun in. With proper grading and rocks around the wall base there is no splashing on siding and water runs away from the house on all sides. No need for gutters unless you are trying to capture water.
Used to do seamless gutters in Michigan. Depends on length and downs. 1 down spout long run start high and just off level to down end. 2 downs centers high just off level down to end caps
We just installed the same roof on my buddy's new house. Same... Steep learning curve and he had peaks and valleys... But we did get it. and just like you slow and frustrating in the beginning but "WOW" when we got it done. He went with black in a white house.
Solid sponsor today. Just ordered a set of those ratchet straps. They addressed all my frustrations with that product! Also, thanks for the pro tip on the harbor freight metal shears. You guys rock.
The one thing to be aware of when using a "peel-and-stick" membrane underlayment, is that there are different types that have different temperature ratings. The ones to use under metal roofing materials have a much higher temp rating than those used under composite materials. We used Grace "Ultra"™, for ours. It's a high temperature rated ( 300 deg. F ), self-adhering butyl roofing underlayment. The temperature of metal roofing in direct sunlight can cause under rated membranes to degrade, harden, shrink and crack over time.
I hate Monday morning QBs. But here I go: use a 12-18-24” bit extension when screwing down the roof. Also, glad y’all used plywood on the was horses to brace the roof panels. Y’all have such a loving energy!
Pro tip; don't buy consumable goods at the Big Box. Things that have sharp edges or points are usually best sourced elsewhere. It's easy to see why Kyle likes that particular "standing seam" roof. It has the look, if an installer has paid attention to dimensional control, it's a dream. And it's weather tight. And now you know why they put all that tape on those fancy schmancy green boards! You picked a good roof to learn on- one plane, relatively low fall- a great place for Ambitious folks to hang out!

That roof isn’t sloped too bad, you wouldn’t need them.
You can also just use a smaller gutter dropped down a bit with a taller fascia so the heavy snow sheds just go right by it
Love watching you guys build & grow together - so much work . My back hurts just watching! You’ve come so far since the pole barn!!!

They told us we needed a strip of metal along the roof to slow down the water so it would not shoot over the gutter. They then forgot to put the guards on but we have the strips down. The snow, what little we get in TN, builds up and slides off the roof and rips the gutters off. Except where those strips are that holds the snow from sliding on metal roofs. Or you have to lower the gutters below the arch of the snow that curls off. Or replace the gutters a lot.
Great job on the roof choice. I learned a lot watching you two. The best part about this roof is that by the time it’s due for the next roof your sweet grand kids will get to do it for you. Now that’s an amazing thought. 😉
About gutters... My husband and I have lived in a suburb of north Minneapolis for about 20 years. We are in an "association" of 16 stand-alone homes, and nobody has gutters. We like it that way! No ice jams in the winter...no leaves clogging the gutters. The rain falls off the roof and waters the shrubs and flower beds below! It works well for us! (Love you guys! Thanks for sharing your life with me!)
Great Job with the rebuild. Still lots of work to go.
You can use cheap pull through scissor sharpeners to sharpen tin shears like Accusharp or a sharpening stone.
You pulled it off and it looks amazing
Opinion on gutters in cold weather, from a long-time East Idaho subscriber. (1) absolutely necessary; we went without gutters for a couple of years, and it was miserable; (2) always hired it out, but I'm only about a quarter as ambitious and talented as you. I'm a believer in continuous gutters manufactured on site; (3) get leaf guards.
I HATE Gutters.
I LOVE 24” overhangs that shield my one story home from most rain, moisture and summer sun while allowing winter sun in.
With proper grading and rocks around the wall base there is no splashing on siding and water runs away from the house on all sides.
No need for gutters unless you are trying to capture water.
Metal roofing. Technically challenging. Physically easy. Love getting hired to install this stuff.
I actually watched the racket strap commercial. Great idea
Used to do seamless gutters in Michigan. Depends on length and downs. 1 down spout long run start high and just off level to down end.
2 downs centers high just off level down to end caps
"Do you want to test it? Jump off the Edge!" Then Courtney gives him the evil look. I just about spit out my coffee trying not to laugh so hard. ha ha
We just installed the same roof on my buddy's new house. Same... Steep learning curve and he had peaks and valleys... But we did get it. and just like you slow and frustrating in the beginning but "WOW" when we got it done. He went with black in a white house.
Love when you drop videos but hate it's 2AM here 😂
Solid sponsor today. Just ordered a set of those ratchet straps. They addressed all my frustrations with that product! Also, thanks for the pro tip on the harbor freight metal shears. You guys rock.
Damn, lots of work. At this point in my life (I turn 72 today) I'd hire it done. 😃
Happy birthday 🎉🎉🎉
@@patriciacullenbach8472 Thanks
The one thing to be aware of when using a "peel-and-stick" membrane underlayment, is that there are different types that have different temperature ratings. The ones to use under metal roofing materials have a much higher temp rating than those used under composite materials. We used Grace "Ultra"™, for ours. It's a high temperature rated ( 300 deg. F ), self-adhering butyl roofing underlayment. The temperature of metal roofing in direct sunlight can cause under rated membranes to degrade, harden, shrink and crack over time.
24:40 it looked like that safety harness was attached to that blue bucket. 😊
The roof looks really good. God bless.
I hate Monday morning QBs. But here I go: use a 12-18-24” bit extension when screwing down the roof. Also, glad y’all used plywood on the was horses to brace the roof panels. Y’all have such a loving energy!
Courtney, you have a great attitude about things. I hope your roof goes on great.
Sharp! Good Job... We just had a shingle roof put on our house and came SO close to doing a standing seem metal; now I wish I had.
Beautifully done. Congratulations!
Dewalt and Milwaukee both sell cordless rivet guns that are great. But then again the hand one won’t break down or lose battery
Ambition Roofing Inc. highley recommended they do quality work , and a very friendly staff. ❤❤❤
Great job you two. Glad to see such phenomenal progress.
Pro tip; don't buy consumable goods at the Big Box. Things that have sharp edges or points are usually best sourced elsewhere. It's easy to see why Kyle likes that particular "standing seam" roof. It has the look, if an installer has paid attention to dimensional control, it's a dream. And it's weather tight. And now you know why they put all that tape on those fancy schmancy green boards! You picked a good roof to learn on- one plane, relatively low fall- a great place for Ambitious folks to hang out!
That roof is looking good. Much respect too. I know this is not easy work.
I have been watching since the home build camper truck. I always look forward to new content and enjoy every episode. Please keep at it as you are my favorite content provider.
