The guy with the white short is excellent, he Beautifully uses his tools.
…You wonder how in the world this rot happened with all of those layers and layers of roofing paper and shingles there to dig thru……….
What is typically used for the plywood sheathing under the roof, is it 1/2 or 5/8?
Also, wouldn't it be better to take off the entire shingles instead of cutting them in a straight line with a razor knife?
Is there a reason you used a double nail pattern on the new shingles?
Thanks for this video! Man, you are a roof God. I thought when I saw that the video was over an hour long, there was no way I was gonna watch the whole thing, but I’m glad I did. I don’t mean to be mean or anything, but you made that guy on the roof with you, obsolete. He must be the homeowner or someone in training. I am definitely inspired to do my own roof work but, laying the shingles and knowing exactly what piece the cut, is confusing.
I went into the attic and had somebody spray water. I immediately found the leak.
Good job, thanks brother for the tips.
i I just did my roof and because i am not satisfizo how they did it I say let me learn how to do a roof myself. light expose in some part of my roof because they broke some woods and i had a lean around the skylight. I don't know what to do. I asked then to fin it, they came and they only fixed the leak around the skylight.I am worry of that part where i can see the light coming through the roof. what should I do in this situation?
Nicely done, guys!
Great work guys. I need to fix a secion of my roof and this is video was great for my confidence.
Have you tried the 20v DeWalt circular saw on your repairs?
Nice video guys.
This is great! Perfect for what I need to do on my roof. (I like how you're dressed to play golf, but are up on a roof!)
what if it's just a small hole?
can it be patched instead of cutting entire section ?
Thanks for posting this video. I have got to do just the same thing on a mobile home roof.
Great stuff, I’m about to tackle a similar job. This video is just what I was looking for.
Is the other side of the roof newer than the one you are repairing?
Everything not too bad, but why not caulk the the old nail holes, while you're going along? Wouldn't it still leak rather than add another nail? Just adding another nail without caulking seems a little weird to me? Plus it wouldn't stay with weather conditions, especially with how damaged the plywood was!
Nice job. Not a fan of the ridge vent you used
Cant we look at the damaged areas by inspecting from the attic first?
I thought you weren't supposed to nail through the sealing strip
and this is what I have to do, doesn't look too bad IF I can get my wife to help me…….
Why didn't you seal the wood seams with tar? Should you? Would it be a good idea?
This is the best roof repair video I’ve seen, and I’ve been watching a lot of videos on the subject. This guy does such a good job. We need more hard working skilled people like this.
Are you training the other guy you are with ? At 1:06:09 the nail still protruding
This has inspired me to do stuff. Just bought a property that has a severe roof leak. Mister, May I ask something? It will sound stupid but as far as the Nails, what is the length of the nails used (plywood to base-frame) and then from the shingles to the roof felt material. Thank you
How did you know the depth of where the rafters were so that the saw did not accidental cut them?
Question, did you use 2 inch screws in the plywood?
