It’s always by the home owners request.the worst part of if you say no, they just keep looking until someone will do it. This looks like a DIY job though imo. The black singles were either free or on sale
Recently in tx a lot of insurance companies weren’t approving full roof replacements after the severe hail storms. So you actually see this a lot. Not by the home owners request but simply the insurance refused to cover the full cost of a new roof.
@ I wouldn’t cover that roof if I were the insurance company either. That roof has been shot for 10 years. It’s the home owners responsibility to replace it
“Nooo way that’s a contractor!!” That’s what I used to say before I started dabbling in some roofing! Holy shit, I thought it was bad as a carpenter, (where the work is right in front of everyone).The shit these guys do and get away with because it’s up where a lot of people don’t see it and won’t care as long as doesn’t leak is beyond me! So I say 50/50😂
Nobody is going on a roof for 25 bucks. That's like 80 to 150 minimum for a job like that. I know it looks crap, but even if you did it right or wrong its just based on the time it take to do it and overhead.
Im about to close on my 1st home. I dont want to be taken advantage of by shady roofers. Its the trade I know absolutely nothing about. What's the difference between starter shingles and I guess top shingles? I didn't even know there's two kinds. Those ones at the top look like they're in real rough shape too. I know exposed nails are bad bad...I can also see there's some kind of tar or something on those starters?? Talk to me like purple is the tastiest crayon fellas. Thanks so much
The starter shingle goes down at the very bottom edge before you start your shingles. each shingle row covers the crack of the shingle row above it. The very first row of shingles doesn’t have a shingle under it. That’s why the starter goes down.
I'd do a repair on that for a customer that needed another year to save money roofs are not cheap although I have enough left over shingles I wouldn't use starter
yes it should be replaced but if there broke a cheap repair is all some people can get lmao can't tell you how many times iv been told to just make it stop leaking thay dint care what it looks like 😂 been there done that and if it works it ain't stupid
Its a temp repair.......roof needs replacement.....and stop acting so self richeous..u know what the case is otherwise u wouldn't be standing on the roof. I'm starting to believe you've made all the hack repairs then u video them and act like some hack did it
You can think what you want to think but you’re far from it. The house was being sold. It was recently bought, the new buyers home inspector said it’s got issues, have it checked out. Thanks for engaging with the channel.
Not always the case. Sometimes homeowners somehow have a little material they got from their relative or friend and insist you use it for the repair. You can talk them into buying a few more bottles of tar caulk, but that's it.
Usually when you see some serious funny business like this, it’s because of the homeowners request.

This is the truth!!!!

I hope that at the very least, they did this repair for free.
why if the owner doesn't want to replace then 300 all day buddy
i do some lite roof repairs and will use miss colored shingles if the home owner is okay with it.
Handyman😂

It was probably a handyman they paid $25 to make the roof stop leaking

the roof in the video is shot. the repair may have helped. they prolly cant afford a new roof right now.
Diffently the only material in her truck ! Not sure why they didn't put the starters TAR down?😅

Owner watched a you tube video, and now he's a roofer
This roof is brought to you by natty light

The house beside this looks like the one you did the ice dam video on.
Yes, it was. It’s the same property and this is of the garage.
It’s invisible from the air.
Lol the can’t see it from my house mentality
What in the actual F is up with that? That roof is pretty bad.
What State Farm pays for 😂
lol that’s a good one and very true!

Nailed it

With the amount of garbage human beings out there I can definitely see a contractor doing shitty work like this.
