If they have shingles blowing off, I’ll put money on it that they were nailed wrong to begin with. I have done numerous winter installs and have never lost a shingle. I live in the Pocono mountains in Pennsylvania, where it gets extremely windy. Pay the contractor just hold back 5%, and be thorough when you read your contract
I use torpedo heater stack the bundles in a way that the heat gets to them with a tarp and a piece of plywood and looks like they were done in the summertime

Brother, you said Certainteed is a great shingle with a great sealant? Ask any roofer working hurricane Milton in and around the Tampa area. 50-90% off blow offs we inspect each week are Certainteed!
Contractors. If they don't seal in the summer; Good luck with the manufacturer paying for it. Hardly worth the time of dealing with them. Call the manufacturer, have leverage, (like a lot of sales and a good relationship with a rep), go handseal it, send a bill and wait... forever. Just be prepared, they don't actually care about you.
@@RoofingInsights3.0 yup, GAF , OC , etc ...none of them honor warranties. Whenever filing a claim they ask the customer to remove a shingle off the roof and mail it in... Add a customer has to pay for that to get done a customer has to endure what is roof being open until they make a decision and then when they deny it he's stuck with a roof open
Pay the roofer and just hold back 5% is fair shingles will not seal in cold I don’t install under 40 and always tell the homeowner the shingles will seal when weather is warmer and sunny
Hi Dimitri, I’m a big fan, I own a family owned small to medium roofing company in Southwest Florida and I would love to just have a conversation with you regarding some of the issues were seeing and what your thoughts are regarding advertising budget , how to get more appointments and reasonable salesman responsibilities

Sounds complicated but also very smart, do you have video of it?

Most shingles require sealant to be added during install if below a certain temperature. It’s right on the package. This is a bad install
In central Ohio I never install past November 13
Don’t go by temperature? What if it’s get cold before November 13?
Rent or buy a heat blower For a couple hundred dollars or less to seal shingles. That’s what my cousin does in Chicago when needed.

They should be doing a cold weather installation method.
We won’t install until we get a few days above 50 degrees
In Nova Scotia, 5 degrees Celsius would be the coldest unless we see warm temperatures coming
Of the asphalt 6 brands commonly seen in Florida, the only one I’ve never seen a blow off from, is Atlas.
Can you talk about the roofing crew shortage due to the ice deportations
😂😂 its time to do stuff legally. No more under paying. Time to get the american workforce back on top.
The people from here in this days
The are super lazy
@@yxng.sib00they are too lazy my friend
@@yxng.sib00 75% of the country is built from Mexicans lol, good luck finding American citizens willing to hang steel

That is the harsh reality

@@Jamesrosario2348 that’s incorrect.
No question, you should not pay the remaining balance. The roof is 1 month old and a shingle flew off? Wow
Typical in winter installs, they don’t seal fast.
@@RoofingInsights3.0or they are buying factory seconds . Those always fault glue
Not true. All shingles struggle to seal in cold temps, they all have those excisions in warranty palerwork
