LOVED IT!!! YOUR A BADASS ROOFER!!!
i realize Im quite randomly asking but does anybody know a good place to watch newly released tv shows online?
Cop
after being a framer/roofer for 15 years, there's nothing I find more relaxing than coming home after a long day, cracking open a beer and watching someone else do it. no idea why that is. keep these coming.
Kallum Taylor i do the same thing. If you haven’t already, check out my framing buddy in California @MattBangsWood. He’s got some killer content!
Matt bangs wood is a hack.... hell he doesn't even know how long a 8 foot stud is
when you work hard as hell, this is universal among all trades
LoL same here.
@@51-FS lmao
25 year veteran of roofing here. Love the chipmunk voices. So true. All roofers do is talk all day. Probably talking about what happened at the bar last night. Love it!
As someone that just got done with their first day of roofing I can tell you that it is rough especially when it's well over 100 degrees ferrenheit on the roof. This job is no joke. Watch your every step with those nails. If your doing this in a cooler part of the world you should consider yourself lucky. Be safe
That’s 100% true!
I have a question can you bring your own safety equipment like they have nothing stopping them from falling of there’s stuff you can screw into the roof and clip to your back so you don’t fall to your death
@@justinrodriguez5439 They do but the equipment they were using only made you feel safe and was just a lose rope you had to drag around
@@StormRaid417 lol its for L&I not feelin safe, but if youre ever uncomfortable tell someone and rope up! Better safe than sorry
I mean it's nice I'm canadian and I've worked in 40 deg c which is like 100 deg f and it sucks but the problem up here is your compressor lines freeze in the winter plus with all the ice and snow it's a death trap so you don't make as much as you do in the summer and you stop around November or so resume in March if your lucky
I like how he made that climb up the latter look easy with that huge slab of wood like it was a Baseball bat and no gloves major props respect to these men who roof not a easy job bet its fun sitting on top of the world looking at the hotties walk by
Facts😂
Fr tho😂
Dude, that was great to watch. I just had my roof re-shingled here in Florida. I stayed out of the way of the crew, but I really wanted to watch the process. This gives me a good idea of what you guys go through. You work HARD!
Bradleybox1988 thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed!
Good thing u didn't watch a BDR video...
Honestly 14 bundles off and on isn't much to brag about.
@@stevechamberlain570 who’s bragging?
These guys are brave men. Roofing is stranious and dangerous. You have to have nerves of steel to do this job. These fellows have my 🙌 respect and admiration👍💪🦾🖐🖐🤴. Please stay safe!!!
Ig you think this is scary look up iron workers litterally they see god
I'm a general contractor and if my trailer ever look like that !!! I'd lose it!!! Great video bud!!
🙌🏻same hate that shit
I have an interview for a roofing job and searched up what to expect. Thanks for the upload. Looks chill man.
Same here how it going
@@Icemanysg4life i quit after a day and a half go work at a warehouse that uses productivity standard and offers bonuses
@@bigpostiedid you not like it ?
@@300ree2 shiet that was a while ago. Hell no it was commercial with tweakers. Quit after 2 days. You start at $20 to breathe fiber glass particles and wear them. You take the particles home and it fucks every surface of your living space up.
15:51 "oh" that moment when you realize you barely nailed off the felt with roofing nails as you're walking it lmaooo you're a beast bro!
I’ve been roofing for 25 years and only have one comment….. I always put synthetic underlayment over my ice and water barrier. Nothing pisses me off as bad as trying to get shingles torn off that were applied directly on top of ice/water barrier. Give it a consideration. Love the video.🤙🏻
That’s the next roofers problem lol
I have 40 years of roofing experience in Lake Tahoe and there has never been a roof I didn’t tear off. That was an applied right over the ice and water part of the job. No one said tearoff was easy. .
I can't belive i am actually watching this...
Why
It's interesting
same
Damn..for how old that roof looks, the deck sure looks really fucking new
John Pierce without underlayment!! #Canadian
The tangled air hose had me dying 😂😂😂
That’s real life 😂
Loved it especially the squirrel talk when y'all talk is hilarious
So I’m a fairly new home inspector and I love watching these videos because the one area I never got a whole lot of experience in was roofing, I used to do rough framing and finish carpentry primarily, so roof are an area I want to understand more around and this video had really helped to understand the process, and flow of roofers so I can understand why and how certain things happen when I find them, so this video helps a lot
Nothing like having to deal with BDR’s loud ass in the morning
sealtite87 Everyday!!
I miss working with my guys back in North Carolina, we would usually get coffee in the morning before we meet up lol
Definitely always a great to start the morning!
My dad did roofing and I’d go with him sometimes as a kid. Now I’m 22 doing roofing in this Texas heat. Can’t complain though
Could see what destroyed the old roof instantly. No underlayment. The wood soaks the oil from the shingles and they become brittle.
honestly I'm not a roofer I work for a restoration company,. basically all we do is tarp roofs temp. but I've seen all your vids and BDR',s BIG TIME! but I appreciate how informational it is. I notice when I see a bad roof and I'm happy to have some knowledge to tell the homeowner. 👊🏻
That's a young man's job for sure !!!!
Yeah did roofing for a few years. One year in winter on a cedar roof. I slipped and fell off the roof. But the snow of thick and high enough from shoveling the snow off the roof. It felt like I fell on to a soft bed. We never wore harnesses because they got in the way.
I'm fucking wasted and there is no way in hell I can watch this whole video right now but hey felt pretty fucking good seeing the upload and be able to hit the first thumbs up because I already know it's going to be badass! P.O.V. roofing is the shit.
I will be watching this in full before tomorrow is even half over.
Usually don't thumbs-up anyting or thumbs-down anything without watching but here's a thumbs up. Better now then later.
Wm. D. Nelson thanks buddy appreciate it!
Drunk or not, gotta finish the vid. Can't shut the shit off if I wanted.
Be safe man. I'm going to quit typing so I can start watching again.
Thanks for the appreciation but it's all mine.
Thanks for this video, it and the comments are very educational!
Our pleasure!
Love the video makes me miss roofing with the boys even more
Don't let Dmitry see that starter!! Haha badass video big dog. Subscribed!
Mr. Legit Roofing Expert I’ll argue with Dmitry 😂
@@Average_Roofer LMAO, same here bro.
It sounds like Alvin and the chipmunks cussing the whole time but I love it
Homeboy jumped off that truck and said “awwwwwh” like some dark souls character
Starting my roofing job in a few days. It’ll be my first “real” job and I’m pretty nervous but excited.
His Is it
How is it? Is it easy?
I did my first day today 3/25/21 ...id done it over a decade ago when I was like 20, 21...first hour was a mind fuck...got it under control...worked 3 hours made 200 dollars been home drinking beer since noon...so there's that
@@kevinvetme seems legit
Had a feeling it was Canada as soon as I saw the IKO shingles haha
Dawson Lapointe IKO had a terrible reputation for many years here, but now with this new dynasty line they are now one of the top shingles here next to OCs
Soon he mentioned Tim Hortons lol
When he said eh?
The good old days ! Nice work
Nice to see someone take a couple seconds longer and put the nails in the nail strip instead of machine gunning a rainbow on the shingle lol
Looks walkable I'm sure they threw them in a dump trailer or whatever they were using that day.!
Great job that's always the hardest to get going the first five we call it!!!
Definitely the slowest part on most roofs.
Nice job dilly!! Keep up the good work..
I been shingling for just about 2 years now and I’m so glad. I love my job. It’s not often you get to enjoy work so much but I can definitely say I haven’t gotten sick of it yet. I’ve been shingling for about 2 years but roofing for nearly 5. Got a long time to go but I’m excited for it
Wow! This is next level skill.
Damn dude that's a great little way to secure the hose up there. Thanks man
The number one mistake is not putting a vent over The old vent hole. The number one way to break your leg on the roof.
The number to way to break your leg step in the
vent hole Fall off the roof and break your leg
1970 called they want their gas pump back
Oldest gas station in town! 😂
I start next week super excited
Ayyy you work with BIG TIME!! Nice video
Nice job.. my work is demolition houses..and some time old house has up 4 to 5 layers of roof. Great team..nice job
I was a Roofer for also 15 years. Mostly good, but I've found management was terrible so I changed career paths.
I start my new job tomorrow just tryna refresh some stuff I haven’t roofed in years😂
The only part that makes me nervous with being on a roof is right at the edge. I could stand and do work on the roof no problem but if I’m right at the edge I get nervous
lmao says the white guy 😂
Notice the edge metal applied to bare sheating the metal will condensate and start dry rot always put all edge metal on top of paper so shingles can seal to metal that way you stop all your roofs from blowing off in 70 plus mile an hour winds 45 years exp
I got my working interview on Monday for roofing wish me luck that I can hang looks and seems fun and interesting
Like how you do the roof step by step we are having the roof replaced by roofers now and they just started today and finish tomorrow at my house
Awesome roofer Wow Im glad you use a safety line !!!!!
Interesting that you guys use nails to hold the paper on. We use staples
I've always struggled to wonder..... How the fuck do you guys get up there with those huge balls LMAO
Love those videos about how they work in the construction I work as a painter and sometimes we get to work on roof and believe me or not it’s something scary hahaha 😂 but had once installed those and the box 📦 haha it’s pretty heavy haha
Yea I don’t like shingle starters either. I like a reversed three tab. You guys prefer the non adjustable roof jacks?
Love your videos my guy!
I'm 33 this year and I start roofing for the first time in my life next week..wish me luck
How was it?
Well….. the world is waiting
Been 3 years, still waiting.
Am a roofer from Ireland 🇮🇪 cant get my head around the shingles work at all with the cover
Just another day for me bro
Thats quite the peek on that one!
I KNEW I HEARD BDR IN THERE!!!! BIG TIME!!!!!!!!
How many videos of him have you watch? Me: yes
😂😂🤙🏼
The clean up is the worst part 🤣 the rest is fun as hell
One of the most common and significant challenges that roofers deal with on a daily basis is weather and environmental factors. Here's why:
**Weather and Environmental Challenges:**
1. **Unpredictable Weather Conditions:** Roofing work is highly weather-dependent. Rain, snow, wind, and extreme temperatures can disrupt roofing projects, making it challenging to maintain consistent work schedules and deadlines.
2. **Safety Concerns:** Adverse weather conditions increase the risk of accidents and injuries for roofers working at elevated heights. Slippery surfaces and strong winds can compromise safety, necessitating extra precautions and sometimes leading to project delays.
3. **Material Durability:** Weather conditions can affect the durability of roofing materials over time. Intense sunlight, moisture, and temperature fluctuations can lead to premature deterioration, causing the need for repairs or replacements sooner than expected.
4. **Installation Challenges:** Extreme heat or cold can affect the installation of roofing materials, impacting their quality and longevity. Cold weather can make materials more brittle, while high temperatures can lead to adhesive issues.
5. **Inefficient Workdays:** Weather interruptions can lead to inefficiencies. Roofers might have to halt work midway, leading to loss of time and effort in setting up and packing tools and materials.
6. **Client Expectations:** Homeowners and businesses expect roofing projects to be completed within a reasonable timeframe. Weather-related delays can strain client relations and lead to customer dissatisfaction.
7. **Project Delays:** Prolonged weather-related disruptions can cascade into project delays, which can have financial and scheduling implications for both the roofing company and its clients.
8. **Emergency Repairs:** Severe weather events can lead to emergency repair requests from clients dealing with leaks or other damage. Roofers must respond promptly, even in challenging weather conditions.
To address these challenges, roofing contractors need to carefully plan their schedules, monitor weather forecasts, take safety precautions, and communicate effectively with clients to manage expectations. Embracing technology, utilizing weather tracking tools, and having contingency plans in place can help mitigate the impact of weather-related challenges.
Good work guys but I have a question
Why Is it necessary to put a million nails In the underlayment? The shingle nails will hold It down. It just seems like that is just extra holes In the decking.
SMAAALLL TIMMMME!!
J4YBONE Average Timeeeee!
What shoes do you wear to keep grip? 🤕
Does your body get use to all the labor and intensive work? Or are you sore and feel beat up everyday? I just got done replacing the roof on my lean-to and I am beat haha Your how-to videos helped me a lot. thank you
Inch and a quarter nails to lay your synthetic underlayment? Pretty sure that's a warranty issue for IKO here.
They need to use the smaller nails with the cap things on the top no?
@@laloochoa3309 yes plastic caps
Tell BDR we got Banquets in Michigan>>>
That’s how we start breakfast in Oregon 🍻
Awesome video . Great job
Keep it up! Let’s go ! Great work bro!
It takes 10 more minutes to pile the shingles, and throw them on the ground. Saves the gutter and the customers siding
The house is straight gravyyyyy
Summer time is like vacation for a roofer
I felt in the exact same way here in California!
what? no safety meeting before getting to work? doobie....
597158madroofer I don’t smoke weed, Josh had his.
I smoke weed just after work lol
Nice choice of tear off tool
Damn in Florida we have so much more that we need to do to pass inspection.
Good work tho man was interesting
We don’t even get inspections here in Ontario :o
No ropes or harness. Big osha ticket. No dump trailer lmao
Whatever you get paid to do this, I'm sure it isn't enough. Good work
This is great! Good luck in the future
come too England and try roofing in the snow
It snows here to 🙄
Never replace the drip edge never nail down felt with a nail gun it blows through the felt !
a lot of felt manufacturers recommend you nail it down, thats what all the bullseye marks are for. should adjust the gun for it tho
Chickmunck conversation 😂
Were the gutters getting replaced?
Great work
Great bud learned a lot
The roofers before you guys had to do a good job being that there was no underlayment
Wow! That is a raggedy roof. Definitely needed to be replaced lol
So do you replace the eaves you destroy?
Great video. Perfectly captures the average day. I assume you boys had to do a ground drop? I always hate hauling garbage twice.
Damm, That is waaay more different than roofing in germany
I wish I could wake up after the sun has been up for a while. I'm on the roof as the sun is cresting over the horizon
Awesome job though, you have your profession down to an art form
Ive roofed for about 5-6yrs and id never nail the underlayment down with your nail gun personality....i feel orange caps are the best specially for standing...could you explain why you nailed the underlayment down with coil nails, and not orange caps?
They weren’t walking on the paper and were putting shingles on that day, no reason to go all out with caps if you’re just going to lay on top of it. It’s like putting it on with staples, it works, it’s not the best like cap nails but it works
Jaydon25 25 We use the stingray cap nailer if rain expected in the forecast or we are to leave the roof open over night. If we are covering the roof the same day, that’s when we will use regular roofing nails. I know the manufacturer recommends cap nails.
Shingles looked absolutely horrible.. decking looks like it was installed yesterday 😂
carson Goodman isn’t that insane. Never even leaked they said... 🤷🏻♂️
Your Average Roofer they definitely got their money’s worth out of them
u guys are lucky, we prep the whole roof before we shingle, takes a lot longer
I approve this average video>>>
your a solid roofer dilly wacker.
chace thank you. I appreciate it
Hey bud appreciate all your contact but I'm going to use what you just said and the nicest way possible just fuck off LOL that is freaking awesome I'm going to use that thing too thank you
Roofing jacks on a higher than 10/12 pitch?
