I’m a carpenter by trade but have reshingled 20 or so roofs over the years. No leaks so far. Now I don’t touch them, i leave that to professionals like you. I watch your videos so if i have to fix or repair mine, then i’ll do it properly. Thanks for the videos.
Great video from a pro who knows what he is doing. Some other videos I have watched would have used s 20X20 tarp with 2x4 by 8 limber and made a mess of and entire roof for a 5 inch hole. Glade to see someone with brains. And no the rain will not get by the cap nail. Its almost like self sealing because of the plastic cap. Nice work.
Brian, you still better answer back even when you get big!! Haha Please consider mentioning the roof pitch and air temperature at the beginning of all of your repair videos. Keep up the great work and keep having fun.
Great video and explanation ! I am wondering about the cap nails driven through the shingles whether they will cause a leak with water seeping around them during a rain event.??
Like your cool, informative roofing content. Does this piece of synthetic film protect against leakage thru a damaged roof under extreme long wintery weather: plenty of snow/ice and freezing conditions? If not what material should be used instead particularly when there's a say 5" hole in the underlying roof deck? Thank you for these helpful videos
I would like to see a video on cutting drip edges properly. Dont know how elaborate it can be. I am always bothered by the outside cuts that have an exposed opening when the drip edge folds. In my experience i believe thats how most of the repairs in soffit and fascia occur due to water damage. Is there a way to remedy that other that caulking the opening? Dont know if i am explaining the issue correctly.
I've always been told that drip edge shouldnt be folded around the fascia on gable ends. Cause it traps water there. Instead you just cut it flush with the fascia. I haven't seen any damage in that spot myself on roofs. But I have worked with some people that do it. You just simply cut a V notch out of the top part that lays against the roof and bend it inwards, might have to make a small slit in the bottom bend to allow it to fold properly.
amazing how many "storm" roofers will come out and absolutely destroy a roof by tarping the whole roof.. they should know better but then its more profit to "tarp" an entire roof than just the small area affected by the real damage
@@GrandRoofingInc just had this discussion on a local thread.. told a guy about not tarping the entire roof and he was like well it has to go over the ridge....or well what am I supposed to do? weave it in under the shingles?? uh yeah.. minimize the damage
it was over a 30 minute drive to the nearest place to get any kind of shingle. I had synthetic paper in the back of my truck. I did not charge this guy anyting.

@@techdave05 you can use the hatchet part if you want. It has a knife on it and you can set a gauge with it as well. I just use it for nails and cap nails though.
Using a roofing hatchet helps with getting step flashing out of walls too, because it's flat you're able to get underneath the flashing and pop the nail out. Personally would love to see the mag hatchet but no one's sells it in stores, don't really want to wait for one to be shipped so I always end up getting the estwing roofing hatchet.
@@GrandRoofingInc 40 minutes that will take all day. Might have to stop and fill up twice. You are just putting more holes in the roof to let water in.

love the tips. I own two properties currently, and this sort of content helps me keep things nice and in-budget. keep it coming, boss!
Excellent follow up video to the tarp repair video. Thank you

I am not a roofer also, but I do like learning tips and tricks.
Awesome Im not a roofer but love to watch your channel!
Thanks!
Best video on the subject by far... thank you!
Great video you should do one about your tool belt and what you carry in it also the ladders you use 🙏🏽
Quick cheap fix dawg . Excellent explanation

Another good video 👍Can you do some videos on flat roofing with torch on felt?

That’s a lot of cap nails lol but I get it…the mag hatch is fun to use 🤙
Do you think some water will get inside those nail caps? Great video, thanks!
Synthetic underpayment felt actually heals itself, so once you put the nail caps with a bit of time it’ll seal unlike regular paper felt
Underlayment
I wondered the same
How is a cap nail different than other types of nails and does it do less damage to the shingles?

What products is that, that you i.e he is using ?
How long until those cap nails start to leak and why not just use sealant
My roof is steep, 6/12. 12/12 pitch in some places.. I'd hire someone.......
amazing how many "storm" roofers will come out and absolutely destroy a roof by tarping the whole roof.. they should know better but then its more profit to "tarp" an entire roof than just the small area affected by the real damage
Then when the insurance company denies a full replacement and slopes it out, they are nowhere to be found.

I nice tip is to take a piece of lumber 2x2 and nail that down through the paper.
Hell I was going to say something but seem like everybody else did. This was a great video thanks look to see more
judging by the number of nails put on this patch, this is a permanent fix. Plastic can take anywhere from 20 to 500 years to decompose.
Seems easier to pop 5 shingles back even if it was a temp tarp and better protection any color

How do you mount the go pro to your hat?
I have a head Mount, it's like a headband with an adapter that holds the GoPro at the front.
@@GrandRoofingInc post a link :) I need that!
I just added the link in the description
Damn bro, you been in a coma??
Those go pro head mounts been out for damn near decade or more!!🤦🤦🤪
Why a hatchet instead of a hammer?
Because it's got an embedded neodymium magnet to hold the nails, so I can use my left hand to hold the shingles back.
@@GrandRoofingInc
So the hatchet part is not used?
@@techdave05 you can use the hatchet part if you want. It has a knife on it and you can set a gauge with it as well. I just use it for nails and cap nails though.

BE HONEST DUDE YOU JUST WANTED TO USE YOUR NEW HAMMER
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
If your homeowner use a garbage bag🤷🏻♀️
Why wouldn't you just buy a bundle of shingles and change them out when you're up there? what you are doing is a waste of time.
Because the nearest place to buy a bundle was 40 minutes away.
@@GrandRoofingInc 40 minutes that will take all day. Might have to stop and fill up twice. You are just putting more holes in the roof to let water in.
Maybe the dude didn't wanna pay for the full repair,-..
So think beforehand John Alexander. .
Jus saying yo!!!!
@@jasonthomas2714 it's 30 dollars for a bundle of shingles. Cheaper than the shit he was doing. He just caused more to be replaced.
3 tab roofing is the problem. That stuff is just for capping. Home owners will never save money by buying cheep products. Year after year wind damage.
Where you able to have insurance cover this job?
Never heard back from the guy.
Hope you got paid for the repair minimum of two hundred fifty dollars all day long in the south could do fifty of those a day around here
