      How the flying fuck can you install a felt roof then apply a different product to a detail to dry in. I felt roofs there all felt
      I epdm there all epdm
      I single ply upvc they all single ply
      I liquid whole system is liquid
      When you start mixing one with the other your clearly not doing it right

      Thank you so much. For 20 years I was helping people fixing their roofs where as other contractors wanted to replace it. I never made the money that other roofing contractors was making due to the type of service I was providing. But, little did I know that my knowledge would came in handy in my later years. For the last 4 years we have been posting videos regularly and have helped many.
      Your comment is very heartwarming and encouraging. I wish more people would take the time to say something.
      Again thank you very much
      From Naas and Adelaida

      I have been helping people all my life. That is how I was brought up. This is just an extension of my life to help. What I show is what I have learned and practiced over the years. But the last 5 years is when I started putting out videos. I thank God for my 3 sons who, not knowingly, got me into a "GoPro" camera and other techniques and materials of roofing. I am an old-school guy. I had a $6000 video camera to drag around, which was a nuisance. I only did "Torch Down" flat roofs and never ventured into other materials. My one son started his own roofing business, and he investigated other materials and told me about it. So, I am trying to say that God Orchestrated everything so that at 66 years old, I could still help others.
      I really appreciate everyone's comments and support. Without you guys, this will be for nothing.

    Hi, I would be tempted to nail the dripping edge directly on the plywood, then the base, then the cap sheet, so that in case of a leak the water goes on top of the drip-edge, not under (towards the edge of the plywood), No? Also, it would be nice to put a piece of cardboard, a tarp or whatever to avoid tar stains on the white roof, doesn't take much time and so much nicer.
    I have an other question, if you have a chance, I have a torched roof on my work shop, it's porous and leaks in places, could I use the cap-sheet directly on top of the old roof? Thank you.

    You make everything look easy! I need a little advice on something a little different from the video, I bought a place that has a shed with metal roof panels. upon inspection the roof panels are either overlapped 1 hump or not at all and I can see daylight where the edges didnt overlap veryy well. I wouldnt mind trying to save the panels, what would be a good way to remediate the overlapping issue?

    I have a flat roof that needs to be recovered. What is the best method of going over the cap sheet with the Liberty system. My thoughts, would be to add another base and then the cap sheet. This is in Florida and I can go two layers before I have to rip it all up.

      Metal flashing is of the past. There is still a place for it, but I have been using liquid flashing for the past 10 years with great success. Metal flashing has to be embedded into a cement wall, or covered with siding. Not so with liquid flashing. They have been using termination bars for EPDM roof on brick walls that was not to successful in many cases.

    That is so wrong. Another torch of flashing up the wall and down on the cap and your seams torched properly then not counter flashing like you said. Counter is for side walls. Wall flashing after the cap flashing but leave enough space for siding the wall also. Man oh man in winter and heavy snow and rain storms your method would last maybe 3 years

      It appears you are talking about "torch Down" This is not torch down. This video is not for you, iy is to help home owners and DIY people. The liquid flashing I used will last 20 years. I don't know what the problem is.
