Roofing in the winter is the worst Just being on a roof in the winter is terrible and uncomfortable I know you’re right it is not worth spending money and end up with a big headache. I hope people see your videos and heed your warnings.
Chicago land here they were putting shingles on last night with flash lights at 7:15 they couldn’t finish had to come back over two hours in the dark and cold morrons hurting the trade and ruining everything
Hey, I'm laughing now because I remember not long ago for a long time.Somebody I look at on youtube doged tamco out To the highest. As a matter of fact, it's the only shingle I ever heard you talk about it in a good state.I am cracking up
Asphalt on the ground, or on the roof, you're going to get better quality installation anywhere but winter. IMO. But if your roof looks like that one last Short, YOU DON'T HAVE A ROOF. GET ONE.
---------------- while experimenting , does singles get warmer/hotter on low slope or on steeper pitch .....thx....or no difference....below freezing could employ propane 'weed burner' to seal the deal....
Like the 3 dabs of adhesive you're supposed to use, no installer will spend the time to heat up the shingles so they stick. I imagine you could get a giant electric blanket to heat the whole roof up, or large patches, but who knows what that would cost, or if anybody has ever made such a thing for roofing in the winter. Roofers bang out jobs. Unless you're doing this yourself, it's a non-starter.
@@methanial73 Well good luck. I hope you're just patching. I can't imagine how much extra time you'd have to spend heating up each shingle. You could just try out some test shingles like he did here to see if it works.

Thanks for the science. I enjoy your vids. Cheers from a fellow roofer from atlantic canada
I believe, roofing for 40 years on the beach in Oregon I've had to hand tab many repairs and whole roofs in winter
Thanks for great advice! Very much appreciated! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
I believe you Mr. Butcher!!! Nice run on BTC since we last talked :)
It's nice to have a little BTC run when it's cold outside! I can sit and watch it!

I’m in Florida. We do Roofing year-round. No such thing as winter down here.

Gaf shingles 17 years installing in Pennsylvania never had a blow off yet
What about a torch? Get it hot enough to adhere? Just a thought.

That's not a bad idea to try. I'd be kind of curious if the thermal shock would affect the granule adhesion.
With that said, I don't know that anyone would ever take the time to heat them though. I'm just curious if it would negatively affect the shingles.
