Videos like this make me realize how much I still have to learn! Great tip🤙🏼🤙🏼
I’ve worked on quite a few standing seam roofs and never thought of that for a valley piece install. Very nice work.
I use flexible plastic cutting mats. This is the best way to not scratch the metal. I use three plastic cutting mats at a time so once I finish with one panel I just move one of the three plastic mats up or down depending on if I’m working up or down. I tuck the plastic mat under and it hold the plastic mats down. Then you have more room to work with and not scratch the metal. I also link them together with duck tape and also at the ends of the plastic so they don’t slid around. 💰
Good cheat, thanks. As a remodeler who has to know many trades (somewhat), these tips from the specialists are a godsend!
Thanks for recommending this video after I fell off a metal roof RUclips.
That is some high quality work that will last for 50+ years no problem.
Yep, though we would use a piece of vinyl to prevent the sliding metal from scratching inside the groove
This guy is a true professional
Excellent TIP 👌
Dude ,that's some damn good work.
Good advice, but your way up there!!! That's high
Do not forget you need to keep that valley and the bottom of that scrap metal clean of dust and debris otherwise you are going to scratch the valley anyway when you pull it off.
That’s the correct way to install a roof
Use liquid butyle on the juggle and a little up the seam
Ok so the piece of scrap “metal” you’re using seems like it would scratch it up as well I mean not all the time but I would grab a plastic piece that does the same thing so there’s no possibility of scratching it
Ideally it's hemmed or taped on the edges to not scratch, but he's probably a lot more worried about scratches on the exposed parts of the valley than what's going to be hidden under the panel.
I like to see newbies find out things that help them. 👍
Works!
How much does one of these jobs cost for metal roofing?
Thanks man
I always do that 👍
This guy knows his shit
What is the name of that material and where I can buy it. Looks fantastic 🤙🏼
Mr. Fancy Pants. 👍
Que nombre tiene esas laminas que yeba clip en los canales de unión
*insert graze the roof*
Upgrade idea…. HDPE or nylon or PTFE as a shim material that more reliably won’t scratch on the way in or out.
Neat
Why are all of the other pieces on the roof behind you so damn scratched?
That's the plastic coating that still needs to be peeled...
That’s snap lock, not true standing seam.
That’s clean
Pan was cut too long lol ain’t that the way, especially when recording. Helpful trick but kind of a waste of time.
🙄use aluminum
Fake standing seam roof roofing 101
A piece of vinal siding works better. In my experience
Probably too thick
@@RRBuildings works wonderfully. It doesn't scratch the valley nor sheet. Aluminum might be the compromise
@@naffetstterrag tape under "sacrificial piece"..
Заебись, чётко
I have a better trick. Go galvalume
The little things that separate pros from the diyer lol I would have definitely scratched something and the piece your using seems to stay put while you work on it
The trim still scratched it, these guys botch it all
@@mrcoiganable2988 : use a sheet of plastic for this .. ? Right
Most "pros" these days are just diyers with a few months more experience.. most real pros don't make RUclips vids..... because their time is better spent actually working..... not talking
They are both humans.
@@a-a-ron6822thankfully, guys like Matt Risinger and his Build Show Network is out there educating pros and DIYers alike
A rare contractor who cares about the finish of their work
Duct tape also on the backside of the scrap to prevent any scratches, great tip👍
Good one. Plus isn’t anyone going to say anything about that protective film left on? If I spent a fortune on a new metal roof, I sure as heck wouldn’t want any traffic on it! Furthermore, on a hot day, the sun and heat will make a real fun time peeling that film off. I’d love to photograph that roof from a high man lift when done! I guarantee, there will be more dings, dimples, and whatever all over that roof, when the person tries taking off that film!
@noonespecial1200 it comes off super easy especially since it's already pulled of around the seems where each piece is connected. Plus there is orange lift basket right there.. would not even have to get on the roof.
I just want someone like that the next time I need a roof.
Professionals make it look easy
Nice job. Wish more contractors took pride in their work.
now you just have to not scratch the valley with the scrap piece
And it looks like he hasn't. Did you not catch the part where is indicates that the hem will more easily cause a scratch. The sacrificial piece isn't hemmed
the sacrificial piece is straight edge so it won't scratch against a smooth surface, but a hemmed edge is angled away from zero so it automatically would scratch the surface of the underlayment in the valley
That’s a great tip! I’ll definitely be using it next time.
He’s a true pro that cares about results 👍
These are the kind of tips I love that you share Kyle. Thanks bro!
Perfect
I agree bro
I am installing my own standing seam metal roof and I have a valley that ends in the middle of my roof. Do you have any advice on how to finish it so it looks nice?
Okay, but how do you keep the sacrificial scrap from scratching up the metal it’s protecting?
Well you'll want to use a sacrificial piece that does not have any screws sticking through it, or cut edges that bend downwards, or mending plates glues to the bottom. Hope this helps.
Easy. The sacrificial scrap just needs a sacrificial scrap to tuck under it.
Now before you ask… yes, that 2nd sacrificial scrap just needs a sacrificial scrap to tuck under it too.
@@sapp6401 wouldnt the sacrificial piece of the other sacrificial piece need a sacrificial piece of its own?
@@mexinica8455 you got it. It really is that simple
I mean. Use a thinner plastic cutting board. Works great
This is an awesome video, its better not to learn by experience in this situation and learn from his short video.
See this is why I love RUclips. A little but genius idea.!!
As a painter I would.probably use a piece of polyethelene not the roll stuff,a strip the thickness of a loose leaf binder or credit card. No metal, no scratch.
Good video, ty.
The sacrificial piece scrapped it numpty
It is a responsibility and do the job right! You can be my roof to go to..many roofer contractors (including my concrete roof tile contractors did a half ass job by NOT even a nail to secure the roof tile). Thanks for your video and hope those roofers can learn from your video.
There isn't 1 commercial roof in Dallas Austin or San Antonio that would pass a dry in inspection from Florida. Not 1
People buy Texas and they have 0 realization that the codes just ain't there. I seen a 2 story house framed on 24 inch center studs.
WOW THAT METAL ROOFING WILL OUTLAST THE HOUSE! 🤣
WITH A PAINTJOB EVERY 20 YEARS
These are such good tidbits to know in the trades. It's the small things ya know making it more enjoyable when doing them seeing the end result!
This is why I watch RUclips videos like this. Idk how many things I've learned from RUclips that I have actually been able to use in the field.!!
What about peeling off all that protective film? Good luck. I sure a heck don’t want feet trampling all over my newly installed and might I mention, VERY COSTLY, standing seam, metal roof. I’ve never in 30 plus years saw the protective film left on the panels like you did here. Sorry, but that’s simply not the way to do it. I’ve seen people thrown off the job, until there was a meeting on this kind of stuff. Not trying to be mean but, man.
Thanks man! I really appreciate all these little tips that you share you really made a big difference in my metal work. I sure appreciate you
Curious how well metal roofing stands up to hail. We receive a lot of hail in Colorado.
24 guage metal with striations holds up really well.
I installed 5300 lineal ft on my building many hips and valleys I found it easier to once I folded the hem for the valley I ran a strip of duct tape to cover all the rough edges and it made it slide in very easy
I'm about to be moving into small lake house that my great grandfather built as a kit in the early 60s, having alot of updating done, among them is a metal roof. What would be the going rate for an 800 sq ft house? And what would you prefer, 5v crimp, insulated panels? Trying to do as much research as i can. Thanks
Didn’t hear “Check it out boys” so immediately kept scrolling😂
1...cut that little corner off underneath that extends past the side of the panel...2...panels aren't suppose to be tight on the cleat, need a small gap for thermal movement...3...obviously not a watertight warranty job or else gunnable butyl sealant would be required between the top of the cleat and the bottom of the panel...4...your valley reveal is a little small...5...shouldn't be using granulated vapor barrier underneath metal...other than that solid work...
Little things......... difference between diy youtuber wannabe and a pro
Hint don't remove the protective plastic till your finished lol.USA roofer save us.
Awesome, thanks!
How do I find companies like yours to work for? My boss does quality work but it seems like the quality your company does is on a different planet.
I jave a buisness. But I could never teach my guys anything past shingles and normal steel. They would massacre that
Great tip
Wow, that looks so clean. Nice work!!
Kyle, brilliant!!
Sorry he is right and very wrong as well .. That scrap metal will scar that valley too .. You use hard well soft plastic yes than you protect the Valley.. Or something soft on bottom ... Watch how he pulled that scrap out it was not gental lol
This guy!....for real, Is he just starting to learn this job?????
I may seem like a silly question. I have never installed any kind of roof like this, so I was just wondering if the valley pieces are pre-cut or does the contractor have to cut them and bend the ends to lock in to the cleats that holds them?
Finally a quality roof in usa.. 😀 not that shingle shit...
No shingle roof in Australia 😉
I worked for a company that put massive roofs on for schools and we did mostly standing seam. How TF did we not think of this lol great tip. For real
Aww...hes got a scissorlift behind him...must be nice...lol.
At the very start of clip...he just slides it up to the next position.... does it not scratch if you slide it up instead of taking out and placing into next position....?
Not using black for the panels helps tremendously
You should make a hard rubber modle of that scrap piece and make it a tool. You could make a bunch of money if you wanted
When you get the metal cut, do they add this extra or you have to know beforehand and measure it this way? Thanks
How do you connect valleys at the top? I am just curious. What I do works but wanna see a pro do it
Except that other piece of flashing can also scratch the valleys so just use felt
I lay a strip of masking tape, then remove after. Cool trick tho👍🏻
....but you're still sliding a piece of metal on top of the painted part.
Yea but won’t it scratch the valley anyway coz ur moving it along the tin
Now all the dirt will eventually fill that really nice channel up. I'm thinking it should be on top with a clean water channel.
Can’t leave the plastic film on in Florida, but we make our own panels too so we are head of the game
Great tip for DIYrs, and Craigslist "contractors"
If your real slick you use plastic instead of scrap metal
Lmao when i first saw this I thought all the other pieces were scratched to hell, turns out it’s a protective film
How are your corrugated metal roofs holding out? Any major issues? I really like standing seam..but, the cost...ouch
You need to replace the washers on those screws after a certain amount of years.
Exelente idea muy limpio travajo
Use underlay 😂 and those notches😂 not to mention your clip going to leak great tip but alot not done well
In the long run, I learned not to give a darn how the roof looked. It looked great new. It's still watertight.
Wat really suckz, is when it getz hot and u still have those stickerz on the metal
Yes we do same thing. Seen guys run blue tape also that works some
Hey bro i need this roofing materials india can u give suggestions
Quality mate put that touch up pot on the shelf in the van I’m still the best about though so calm down pal 😂
Well its common carpenter skill there but homeowners hire cheepest not the best then exoect pro work for peanuts
I’m trying to figure out how water would get in through this system always compare to shingles or ceramic I’m starting to come to realize that this type of roofing is above all standards compared to other roofing materials like shingles and ceramic tile. I’m planning on replacing all my roofs with that now I live in Arizona and have a couple properties. Would you recommend when the time came to take this route? Instead of doing shingles again? Or ceramic?
If you got money yeah sheet metal is pretty water tight compared to shingles when done right and lasts longer but depending on your age I'd go with shingles they still work it's just prefernece
