Great video!! Thank you so much for uploading. A few questions…. 1. How did you know the length and width of the two needed panels to begin with? I see at 6:32 you layed them over the old rotted wood panels, but you didn’t explain how you know what sizes to get cut at Home Depot. Did you just measure from nail to nail? (is that the 48” to get the lip on each side?) 2. What tool did you use to make that cut in the old wood after you used the magic marker to outline your panels? 3. And with that tool, how did you ensure it only cut so far deep without destroying other parts of wood underneath? 4. Is the tool blade set for a certain depth, such as, ¼”? 5. What did you set yours at for this job? 6. You used 30 mil base felt paper: What kind of nails did you use to nail that down to your new panels? The head of the nail looks like it is the size of a quarter. Are those special nails or normal nails with nail caps to widen the spread to hold down the felt? (pause at 12:43, those aluminum looking caps). GREAT VIDEO!! You inspire me to tackle my roof that is experiencing the same damage. Thank you. Please respond so I know what to do.
What a GREAT video.
I wish you were located in Phoenix AZ.
Around how much should i be expecting to pay for a job like this?
Thanks for your informative video. Unfortunately my roof is leaking by the valley ☹️
Thank you – Time to tackle the next task.
Thanks for the video unfortunately I saw it after I did my repeat but looks like I did it right 👍
Tank you!!!!!
Thank you for your tips, excellent tutorial. I know I'll be back to your site.
24:42 there a loose tile possibly leak as well
OK, Duster Dan, two questions:
1. At 16:30, instead of or in addition to a dollop of sealant over the nail head, what about cutting an fitting a copper sheet that locks on the upper edge of the tile, fits the curve of the tile, and extends below the lower edge of the upper tile? I've had some sealant shrink a bit and worry about that.
2. At about 17:00, what about drilling the hole out? I've had good luck doing that.
You did it wrong do it again just kidding well presented your a great craftsman
What do you think of polybond G for underlayment? It's being recommended by potential roofer. The quote is not much more than one for 2 layers of 40 lb felt and they don't require any money til job is finished either. 30 yr warranty. Only roofing co. so far that doesnt require money up front. Is each tile supposed to be nailed? Because currently mine are not all nailed down.
You didnt show any steps on "how to install". All you did was skip all the helpful parts. You did before, and after, nothing in between.
Great tip on how to walk across tiles. Didn't know that. Thank YOU!
thanks for the most informative video. I have the same tile roof. what do i do in the areas that meet a wall where the underlayment has already worn out but if I can get flashing above the tiles , i can prevent the water from slipping between the tile and the wall? How do i accomplish that?
You’re a great teacher 💪🏽
Great video Dan. Thanks much! Where are you located?
What if you have to move that tile again. Shouldn’t you use a clip. Won’t separate sealant wout breaking tile. Idk
Thank you for taking the time to show some tips and tricks to help Guys like me to fix small repairs to my roof. Greatly appreciated.
Whats the estimated time a job like this takes? I have a small leak, want to do the repair myself. It gets dark around 5 to 6. So I want to make sure I have enough time
Thank You for the video! Excellent video and tips! Awesome
What would something like this cost to hire a roof contractor to do repair and what state was this job done in ?
what type of rafter system and sheeting might typically be found under an original 1906 clay tile roof on a house in Ohio?
Hi Dan, thank you for posting this video. Very helpful. I am also in the Riverside Ca. area. I'm in the unfortunate situation where large sections of the felt paper on my roof have deteriorated. Luckily only a small leak before we caught it. The home was built in 1988. Bids from the contractors are torn between a whole new roof or just a lift and re-felt. What are your opinions? Does concrete tile wear out? Thanks!
Hi Dan, do you have website or contact number. I have had experience with bad roofers in the past. I had to call 3 roofers to fix the same leaking.
Unfortunately in this day and age if you want a job done properly you have to do it yourself
In my case I have a house with old fashioned fired clay U-shaped "barrel" tiles, with no nail holes. Would you recommend using premium underlayment in that case or should the U-tiles be glued down or something? Just curious how to do it right in this case. I prefer the antique barrel tiles for aesthetic reasons, as this is the traditional roofing for historic buildings in my area.
Many thanks for the video. It's really useful and handy
Hi Dan, great video. I was hoping to see how you took out the first tile. Your video makes it look easy, but I am having a hard time getting it started, having a hard time getting the first tile off.
hey dan what about the tile that is about 5 or six away from ur left foot at the end of ur video that looks like that its sliding down did u fix that too
Duster Dan, for the win. Man, you are the well spoken, patient roofing teacher that we all wish we had. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this info with us.
I have 4 x tiles that have a cracked that runs length wise and are not missing any pieces or are loose. Would it be okay to just run a bead of construction adhesive the length of the crack instead of replacing the tile?

Fantastic video!
Build/fix as fast as possible with the cheapest materials by incompetent workers. That is how most businesses work nowadays.
If you lived in my city, I would always call you to fix my roofing problems. Glad to see someone take pride in their work.
Outstanding demo.
what a fantastic work you do, I wish contractor were conscious like you
How long did this entire repair/process take you?
Thank you for the video! I’m assuming that when you put the tiles back in place after repairing the water leak, you started with the bottom row and worked up to the last roll that you needed to glued, correct?
How can someone dislike this video? I've been a carpenter for 37 years and an independent contractor for 28 years, this man know exactly what he's doing, and he explained himself in a very professional way. Good job, sir.
Thank you so much for this video and other info Dan. This roof system and leak location look identical to my own and this video gives me confidence that I can make these repairs myself. Much appreciated! George.
Thank you. Very useful.
One thing caught my eye. Is that a slipped tile at 24.42?
Shouldnt those tiles be layed on battens
Well done tutorial!
Really wish you had shown how you first deconstructed that area of the barrel roof tile. In other words, how you removed them without breaking or cracking them. Cement tile roofs typically used in Florida seem to crack if you just look at them wrong. 🙂 Seem like if you jammed your crowbar up underneath another tile to try to pull up a nail, you would have two broken tiles. So I'm sure there is a trick. Also, the tiles you replace do not appear to be brand new (maybe they are spares?), so it appears you are putting back the originals.
Wow, this was awesome info…Awesome explanation & tips! FYI; the owners need to trim off those trees; that's a bridge for bugs.
a appreciate this video. Thanks.
Excellent tutorial. Thank you.
Great video thanks!
