This guy is a genius, I have seen 3 of his presentations. At win the storm the crowd was all of the way back to the wall. This guy will make you money, all you have to do is listen to him.
SF approves a replacement for damage slope only with CertainTeed metric size 5 5/8 exposures. Current shingle on roof is Certain Teed standard size 5 exposure, which is discontinued. They won't approve full replacement at this point. What are the potential issues if we replace only one slope with shingles with different exposures ? How to fight? Thanks John.
Volume (scope) though dictates the degree (cumulative offset) of nail zone, common bond and aesthetics where a small repair of 1-5 shingles dispersed over the roof’s slopes dictates whether or not metric shingles can be mixed!
Hey John, the new thing insurance is doing is to say that we can reuse the current shingles while replacing valley metals. Would you consider making a video showing why new shingles are needed when replacing certain accessories? Thanks! Great video
I will schedule that for this fall. However there are only three surfaces that can be detached and reset: slate, clay, and tile. Look at IRC code R908.5. By this logic you could take the approach that shingles cannot be reused.
We are recording a set of accessories in about 30 days. Summer was very busy but we have a great set of jobs that we can record on this fall. Looking to get videos of removing and replacing accessories.
And we all wonder why our insurance rates go up. Certainteed, GAF, etc should be to blame for this mess and they dont even have the guts to publish their opinion on repairs because they're scared. Why on earth am I as a homeowner required to pay for full roof replacements of my neighbors due to a single shingle blow off? That is nuts and a huge waste of resources.
Ah Steve - I see you found my channel. Good for you and interesting take on this. Okay so it's the manufacturers fault? Let's play that out a little further. Who is one of the larger groups that lobbies for more restrictive building codes, more stringent testing, and better materials? Isn't that the insurance companies? So new guidelines get passed and the product makers have to react to make products that pass the test, hit required ratings, and meet the building codes. Then once the manufacturer makes the change blame them as if they sit in a board room thinking "how can we screw the consumer"? Do you see the problem with the one sided view? Not all changes in products are code or ASTM or testing forced. Some changes are to try and have a competitive edge or fancier selling offering. So maybe point fingers at ALL of the underlying factors that lead to change. Some only get mad at insurance for how they act. Some only get mad at manufacturers for how they act. I know that you are a believer in more sustainable building products with accurate expectations performance and life expectancy. I agree with you in that aspect but look at the whole picture man. If insurance lobbies for betterment they can accept that has an affect on how a claim is handled or they can re-write the policies to exclude that (which they already are in some cases). So instead of getting upset at ONLY ONE SIDE look at the whole picture and go get the policy that excludes additional coverages due to obsolescence. I've messaged you multiple times on FB and you still haven't responded but continue with your commenting on my post and videos. Step up and reach back out to me sir. I look forward to the talk one day.
@@johntheroofpro Thanks for responding. I'm totally for self-responsibility and find this to be an interesting problem as my neighbor is going through this. I hate to say it, but it seems like he's using insurance as a maintenance plan. It just seems ticky tack to go from one damaged shingle to a 20k roof replacement that the rest of us have to pay for. From everything I've seen, shingles were upsized to metric because they were cheaper to produce and quicker to install. ASTM didn't force this. If you feel like have to opt for an ASTM compliant repair (I dont know of anywhere that even requires a permit for shingle repairs, and hand sealing is probably just as good as a weathered shingle) the manufacturers should have made English size stock available for future repairs. Instead they cut off production and didn't give any guidance on repairs.
Great video, John. We’ll be sending this very clear demonstration to Allstate so they can make the right decision on their customer’s roof.

Thank you for the kind words
This video should be sent to every State Farm desk adjuster
It’s been sent plenty ha
Where can I get documentation from certainteed saying you can’t mix the shingles?
Good video, glad I only do retail. Still relevant either way.
Awesome bud, going to war with Allstate on one as we speak

So what do you advise to homeowners when it's not an insurance claim?
Imagine if John got royalties on every dollar this video is responsible for getting in roof approvals. Guy would be a billionaire
