Is there ever any reason to not install a ridge vent? I live in a cold climate and just got a roof. When I'm in the attic, it sure looks to me like the plywood from both sides of the roof just abut each other.

THANK YOU Lots of contractors are exempt from OSHA fall protection requirements, and don't provide workers any assistance with fall protection; so it's nice to at least have something to anchor to.

That fifty year roof should have a nail line by manufacturer. Three or five nail patterns.

Overlaying a roof is always a dumb idea, it adds excess weight and you miss leak damaged sheathing, and is there proper underlayment under the existing roof.

I bet you the messycans did it

Imbicile.

What a waste of time omg this is terrible

2" PV Flashingsnot installed properly.

Why you didn't show the people how to use a shared to cut the damn thing

A better indication of a bad install was all the cuts in the middle of the field, only a dipshit needs to cut in the middle where it should all be full pieces, cuts go at the ends only.

Are those metal vents rustproof?

Great!! Really appreciate this

If its actually a 0/12, you need to add iso board to give it a slight pitch to direct the water.

Running the plywood horizontally and staggering seams makes for a more stable roof. It has absolutely nothing to do with the grain. The multiple layers of plywood are laid out in a cross grained manner, creating strength in any layout.

Didn’t know the horizontal vertical thing. Thanks for teaching me something !

Damn pancho built this on a Friday before the Chelas or Lunes after the Chelas.

Looks like the roofing is about 20 -25 years old not 10

Lol. I eyeball that shit everyday

No budget for a cricket?

You can use whatever, your tool to measure 5 5/8”. Why not use a tape measure tool

Can You speak more clearly?

Im contractor me and my twin bro r the owners and the installers as well we have 2 somtimes 4 guys and we r up there making sure we r doing it right dnt trust ne body not even ur guys

Not correct on your book spacing according to the application manual. And it's not a "book" it's "Starts and Finishes ".

Nothing wrong with staples. Roof is at least 30 years old. If the owners have the money now then replace it. Otherwise tell them to start saving.

The staples worked fine so far, so not a reason to replace. The moss could be carefully removed. Those shingles are not curling. So just the missing granules as the reason to replace?

That’s not a nail it’s a staple never use roofing staples.

The price difference for the tear down is insignificant compared to the price of the roof, i never roof over.

Those shinglesvlook short. How long are they?

Why don't you try reading the bundle it tells you how to cut your shingle sets, that's not the proper way according to the manufacturer

So how do you fix it?

Why can’t they just make it a more durable material instead of just these granules that fall off so easily? I hate it :(

When dimensional shingles first came out we did 5 5/8 once we got use to the shingles we just eyeballed a 6

what kinds of shingles do that? how long till they delaminate?

This was a complex job. Thanks for seeing it through!

7-8” works too. Don’t use a tape just eyeball it. You’ll get 5 pieces plus a full shingle. Simpler, no measuring, more room for error. No downside, faster, less trying. Gives more play around the pipes and when you get to the end. The 1/4 1/2 3/4 full is easier but is a bit lazy and doesn’t give the greatest spacing

Great work fellas! Keeping that lost art of metal alive !! Proud to be a metal man ⛏️

Excellent craftsmanship guys!! Subscribed 😎

I've been cutting my books at 6 inches for ever

would a double layer roof give a bit more protection when large hail stones hits the new outer layer, as the old layer under it can kind of allow for a more softened blow? Great video!!! Viewing from Arkansas....

I can roof. Lol! Good job. 🥸

Very good thank you, brother 🤔👍😎

I'm doing a layover myself. I've roofed about 25 years ago so learned how to do enough to be dangerous. I couldn't do a complete replacement. I can't afford it, nor afford to hire someone to do it for me. My main worse challenge is two roof jacks in close proximity for an AC unit. I removed the AC unit since it didn't work to get it out of the way but the electrical connection is just a little piece of pipe that is loose. The other is a gas line, it has two flashing covers that overlap, I reused those, since I couldn't find replacements available at Home Depot. I should have calked around the shingles laying them down. They are going to leak, I need to get after those and rework them. I know for 25 year asphalt shingles, being a layover makes them only good for about 10 years. I had to do something because the last major rain storm we had here in Fresno, Ca the shingles were getting blown off the roof. I know how to shingle around the roof jacks when they are stand alone but those two close together has been a real problem for me. I did replace one sheet of plywood. I think all the plywood needs to be replaced but that is a huge job for me at my age to do by myself. Luckily I don't expect anymore rain this year but it's hot. I've been peeling what shingles I expect to lay that day and getting off the roof by 10 or 11 am, because by then those shingles get to be a little to hot to handle and they stick together too much that it's hard to pull them apart without ripping. It's important I get the one side done because I'm getting solar panels installed on that side.

Good job 👍 that's the best way to do it 👍

Looks very good 💯

You can hire a great company but you are at the mercy of the subcontractors they use. My boss recommended a company she used which worked great for her: done in 2 days, no leaks. My installation was slowed by a death in their family leaving them short. Closer to 5 days and I'm waiting for a good rain to see if they rushed it being shorthanded.

Thank you

What brand of shears do you use?

Waste of time.
