![HOW TO ROOF A HOUSE! [DIY]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/PioKr-pyR7k/mqdefault.jpg)
Helping my buddy tear a roof off soon and I’ve never done it before. Thank you. Super helpful video.
Hopefully it went well!
In the mid 80’s...I did about 60 roofs.
Hard azzzz work!
Knowing what I do now.... I’d have NEVER worked that hard for soooo little.
It's a young man's job for sure.
Can you become rich by doing roofingb
My roof is being torn off as I'm watching your video. The roofers are removing two roofs just like the one in the video, also.
My 1 year dog is barking at the unfamiliar noise. She's adjusting to the noise.
It's nice to watch your video rather than trying to visualize what is being done.
Thanks for posting this video. It was very helpful.
The first time I see a boss who cares about his people and the first time I see a crew with a safety harness.
That's cool but only on roofs where you have to not 4 12 pitches.
Thank u, doing this for my grandma tomorrow and I wanted to make sure I knew how to
That was the most legit explanation of a day in roofing
I’m about to attempt doing my own roof due to costs. Do you have a video with a checklist of all required tools as well as tips?
These videos are great! Youve got a great attitude and its wonderfull to see good clean work.
Thanks man! My passion for roofing is what you see!
I like it bro - short and sweet!
Quack Quack!! 🦆
Dang ... For a second there, I thought there was a duck on that roof!!😂😂🎉
Hope that duck can fly cuz he ain't tied off!!!😂
Me and my crew do roofing almost 3-4 days out the week because it’s some serious hard work especially in the heat you best believe you need neck gaiters long sleeves pants boots and plenty of water against the sun doing this job.
Amen to that. 🙏
Excellent video and information thank you 👍🏻👍🏻
Good info. Thanks for making this!
So everyone is wearing proper PPE and fall protection and you are just jumping around without any PPE. Great instruction!!!
Thanks!
Very informative! Thank you...
Safety first boss man
🥶 what about the Red Ripper shingle remover, is it a baddass tool
Good team work homie
I like to start from the bottom and pull up. You can get 10 to 12 shingles at one time
YES! you can do they to man. Good work.
Hoping to save some time.
Thanks
Where Can I get the Duck Foot TOOL
Any roofing supply store should have them. SRS is where we go.
Informative, thanks
You take off all the 15# or no?
Yes. Always take off the underlayment to inspect the plywood.
What do you do when you run across a roof with ice & water shield between the shingles and the plywood. (With no felt/paper or synthetic underlayment beyween the I&W and the shingles. Those shingles will be grown to the I&W and the I&W will be grown to the plywood. I've got some shingles I need to remove and replace on our roof and there is no getting them up.
Unfortunately, you need to replace the plywood.
@@MrLegit We did that 15-18 years ago when this roof was put down(98 sheets) because the builder used 3/8 ply in 1967 when the house was built. I shudder to think how much more that's going to cost in this inflation age. Could we put a metal roof over top of this architectural shingle roof? Do you have to put stringers/purlens all over the roof? Thanks.
Is it more difficult to remove stapled shingles? Do u have a video showing that process in action? Thx again
Stapled shingles are easy to remove actually. The difficult part is moving the shingles and throwing those big chunks into the bin.
On our worksites nobody around sites sits around professionals
Why are you using a harness setup on a 4 or 5 12 pitch
Because the government is nuts and they tell us we need it. It's actually above 4 ft required.
Curious as to how they laid architectural over 3 tab if they had to do anything special to do the overlay?
Nesting, if you but the top shingle to the bottom of the 3 tab. You can put down ubderlayment and just roof it normal, but it causes waves. Honestly, removal is the way to go.
@@MrLegit I was fairly certain you would say that. I didn't think it would work out all that well but thought I'd ask. Thanks.
@@MrLegit if you do a dutch butt it will lay flat
@@randyjenkins8743 is that what you call it?
Can one person do this
Short answer, yes.
What’s typical protocol for restrooms for your crew…. Honest options.
Over two days, we get a potty.
Do you need a license or anyting to tear off roofs for people
Up here you do.
I was expecting him to fly with all that arm waving.
You obviously didn't wait until the end, where I demonstrate that as well.
What about three tab over wooden shakes on slats?
Use a cleasby bar and rip in between the trusses.
Where do I find a duck foot?
Local hardware store or farm supply.
You might be able to rent one.
When tearing off existing shingles prior to re shingling can you be careful at the ice and water shield in order to reuse it or should you try and tear it off and replace? Original roofing job was done 17 years ago.
Tear off what you can and apply a new layer.
Do you pull the nails or leave them in the roof.
Pull so next set of nails won't hit them unless you need to
Wow I wish mine came off in full pieces. Little bits and pieces from two layers and more nails than Home depot ! Nail heads were rusted off not a fun job.
Was it sold m cold?
How much do you pay your workers
My roof is getting torn off… As we speak… Literally. There’s a lot of noise up there and I was just wondering what the hell they are doing. Praying they don’t fall off the roof or through the roof into the room where I am right now. And I keep looking towards the ceiling as if I can see them. 🥺😳😰
It's loud. Make sure to take down any valuables that might break. Check the walls and cabinets. Good luck!
How mutch do people charge for tear off ? Pls anyone?
Huh?... "If you're right-handed, start from the left, so we're starting from the right. You don't start from the left side." Very confusing!
@MostlySunny2010 just roof it, man. It's not confusing.
How do you make sure to get all the nails after the job is done? There must be a lot of them that roll off and fall to the ground.
Great question. We use sweeper magnets to pick up loose nails. They have ones on wheels or hand held ones. We use both, depending in the size of the job.
My brother does it by himself he’s an animal
I have something for you that I think will work a lot better than a duck foot. I live in Portland, btw. Can I come by to show you?
Sure!
@@MrLegit where can I find you?
All these roofing videos seem to be filmed on houses with 4/12 roofs…. I’m having to deal with a 12/12…
It's because filming on a 12:12 roof is no joke. We'd basically be standing in 1 spot.
💯
Always 100 percent Jasmine!
Those vertical rope lifelines will cause you to fall when you accidentally step on them.
Tell me about it. They're a mess.
@@MrLegitwhere do you tie the rope to, any roof vent
Why don’t they take them out one by one ?
☑️
Guys are just like give me my god damn tear off tool back lol. Also why are they harnessed on this pitch anyone have idea maybe just a company rule or something
what about when you come across wood that needs replaced?
Cut it out along the rafters, measure and cut the replacement and nail it down
Ponte la pilas
Easy fucking money...!!!
My man!!
👍
Tear off the first layer one by one the second layer with that duck shit you use an fill them Up on a 6ft tart 2 guys carry
2 guys carry a tart one guy fills them up
Thats a low pitch roof, why yall all tied up lol
Probably just for the video
Mexicans 🎉
I'm his son
I swar
Pepas
Thanks for the video but I’ll just call Interstate Roofing.
I used to work there. Excellent guys!
Who him lol
Sorry, I started laughing when I watched the video. You're walking around and the guys are tied off. This roof looks to be about a 4 pitch and if the camera wasn't rolling I guarantee no roofer in the world would be tied off. Most I know won't touch a harness on anything 8 or less.
Call a roofer
