That is the cheapest plastic boot I have ever seen. Some of the newer plastic flanges are a lot more rigid. I admit that one you had was flimsy but not all of them are made like that
I disagree with painting them , i have never seen spray paint last even 10 yrs with the uv/wind/rain/ice abuse that roofs take. So no one is going to want to get up on their roof 5-10 times if they are getting a 50/yr roof just to repaint them , also if you get paint on the neoprene collar it can prematurely dry it out causing it to crack and leak. With your extencive work resume you must have come across the metal boots with the kynar baked finish that come in brow,black,green,tan that will be maintenance free for its lifetime. Sorry im going to have to be the thumb down i hope my point of view is helpfull
Shawn, thanks for the comment and the insight. We totally agree with what you're saying and buying boots that are already a color (we prefer black) is certainly the best option. What we were really referring to was the PVC plumbing vent pipe itself sticking out of the roof. To us, nothing is uglier than a brand new beautiful roof that has been installed and having those white PVC sticking out of it. What we typically do is hit them with sandpaper real quick then paint the plumbing vents with some heavy duty spray paint as we remove the old boots. You wouldn't believe the amount of homeowners who have complimented us for doing that in the past because it's such a minor detail, but makes a big difference. Hopefully we can turn that Thumbs Down to a Thumbs Up!
my roofinng contractor had delivered roofing and then saw those plastic boots and was totally turned off by them cheap garbage to me . I have 6 vents on my roof and now have to on a sunday go get metal boots and hope they have them since they are starting the roof tomorrow 1/29.2024 and it is sunday geeze am I pissed off show on order he paid 2.99 for them each and I need 6 of them .

Would this work on a metal roof
if you spray paint them the ice and water or the caulking wont work as well or last as long

@@DigitalRoofingInnovations hehehehe great stuff.
Great pro tips.
@@jfacio841 thanks! What kind of boots do you normally use?
@@DigitalRoofingInnovations metal for sure. Always.
I wouldn't use either. Bullet boots are the only thing we'll use.
