Are you worried that he was going to put a cigarette out on the rubber? Don’t think so when we smoke a cigarette which we are smokers apparently maybe you’re not I know how non-smokers are when they see smokers we put our cigarette butts in our pockets and I don’t mind if my guys smoke cigarettes long as they don’t throw your cigarettes on the ground.
I think the job we did for the homeowner meant more than anything. We did a great job on the roof and all you want to concentrate on. Is somebody smoking a cigarette the homeowner was up on the roof smoking cigarettes while we were doing the job imagine that, why don’t you concentrate on the good things instead of the things that you consider bad is there anything good you could say besides that if not, maybe you should just stay away from my channel I don’t need negativity. We all smoke including the homeowner, he didn’t seem to mind.
@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair that rubber is thick enough even if you put a cigarette out on it, I doubt it would phase it. People don't realize how durable the rubber roof is, its going to last 20 years at least. Maybe you could take some old scrap rubber and make a video showing how much abuse it could take, put a cigar out on it, then take a torch to it, something just to show how tough it is.
I hope you were still watching my videos as I hope to say they are getting better and better. I also have another channel they could use some help getting my subscriber count up hope I’m not spamming you and aggravating you for sending you this link.

Mobile home repair is a much needed industry thats seriously lacking in the world in my opinion. We're home owners too....and we need repairs! Thank God for men like you and the others there doing this work! I've leaned a great deal of how to from your videos.
Thank you so much. I appreciate when people appreciate my videos. He gives me a good feeling inside to help somebody repair their house.

Do me a favor and hit that like button so Utube will share it with other people that could use it just like you do. Every mobile home. Every shack. Every cabin. If somebody’s home. I love helping people fix their home I don’t care what kind of home it is
@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair hi there..i have a question. Not sure where ur from..but im in Minnesota. Does that work for harsh winters we get here..for -50 temps during the winter time. Im on disability. And we need our roof repairs. And no one will fix and if they do. Its lots of money. Would you be able to fix ours. Please. Not sure how much u would charge but would like an estimate. Like i said im on disability. Please please let me know. Im not sure if its safe to put my number here. Can i call u on the number that is on this video. My name is izzy.
"A mobile home is someone else's home, exactly."--YES! I have a single wide. Raised my kids in it. I always have taken care of it and still live here with my wife. It's about time for a new roof. I've had my house paid for for over 15 years and have been able to save money instead of paying a 30 year mortgage, so it's been worth it. Nice video.
Polite, respectful, and extremely skilled They truly take great care of their customers. I can't say enough positive things about Drew's Roofing and Home Repair, I appreciate you for taking the time to speak with me. Your thoughtfulness has not gone unnoticed. It will stay with me forever Thank you for lending me a hand when I needed it most. Your generosity will not be forgotten. I’m truly grateful. Thank you’ is the least I can say to you to show my appreciation for everything you have done for me. Sincerely Patrica Cucci
Hi Drew & crew! You replaced my roof 5 yrs ago. Everyone knew what they were to do, and the whole process ran smoothly. It was like a choreographed dance. Very friendly & responsible. In just 3 days you cleaned up and were done. THANK YOU! Jane - Chapel Hill
Yes we were. Thank you for the kind words. I’m glad u like it. I’m sure your roof does not leak anymore. We were glad to do your job. You should never have to worry about it again.
I have been needing to do something with my roof. You have explained it so clearly that I believe that I can do this. I am a 54 year old female and my 23 year old daughter will be helping me.
I just wanted to let you know that I’ve been watching these videos closely, you’ve been a great teacher and guide for me. I have a trailer that needs to be redone top to bottom. I wanted to build it myself, and you’ve been showing me how to do that. I appreciate what you do, you’ve been assisting me in making my dreams come true man.
Love the over hang. It's so important, wish people understood how water follows the siding and will find cracks in window frames and siding separations. This is a GREAT idea and makes so much sense. Gotta shed that water away from the house. Very nice job and looks like a GREAT product and proceedure.
This looks really professional. I did the exact same thing to my roof, except I didn't put down any plywood at all. I just glued the rubber sheets directly onto the old roof, and screwed in the Termination Bars around the edges, and it is still leak-proof, and holding up well after almost 10 years. The entire thing cost me about 1000 dollars in materials.
ABC Supply or Best distributing look them up on your Google and see how far they are from you call them ask them what they have what I’m using is .045 EP DM rubber
Did you just bend the rubber over the sharp edge of the sheeting and did you glue it down under the termination bar on the side that the termination bar screws to
I’ve been a roofer for 25+ years in Northern California. This is a great idea that I’ve talked about. Glad to see it in action. Don’t think inspectors code would allow it here. Glad you posted the video. I may use it to prove my point at the permit office. Thanks. Make the trade proud.!
I hope you have good luck with your inspector it makes sense the roof is for a five times stronger after you add this plywood and strapping to the roof. It’s amazing how strong it actually is.
Wow! That was awesome! I’ve never heard of a rubber roof on a mobile home. I need a few small areas repaired,can afford a entire roof job. I’ll look into this. Thinking of selling my home in GA. Great job! Thank you for the lesson.🤓
Well thank you very much Mr. silent I really appreciate that believe me. My crew and I tried to make every customer not only happy but satisfied. Thank you for your comment and I hope it helped you in someway. If there’s anyway you could help me by hitting that like button that makes RUclips share that video more with that thumbs up. Thank you for the comment and check out my playlist for other awesome videos. You’re the best.
My mother hired someone who did a horrible job, but did however return her money. My son and myself are going to attempt to repair the facia board ourselves to her mobile home. We’re not professionals by any means, but your knowledge, expertise and amazing step by step videos are so extremely useful and appreciated more than you’ll ever know! Thank you so much from Ft Payne Alabama ❤️
We just got back from Alabama we were in Hazel Green and I actually did a video of a roof that we did there came out great thanks for watching glad I can help what kind of videos are you looking for?
@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair could you tell me how much something like this costs roughly? I have a 69’ trailer.. about 50 ft long single wide. We’ve had a decent puddle over our bedroom and don’t know how to properly fix it and might have to invest in a roof like you did in this video. If you could please email me! Rebecca.Dixon91@yahoo.com thank you!!
Thank you for the question. If you just have a leak or two the cheapest way might be to use Hydro stop. Hydro stop is easy to apply and it works real well for fixing leaks. Hydro-Stop look it up on RUclips. You can buy it at ABC supply store near you.
@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair it’s not a leak more like an indent/divet on the rooftop which is creating a puddle- so now we have a puddle probably 4 ft in diameter above our room. I was wondering if you could tell me how much a roof like the one you installed cost?
Like this video? Are you kidding me? I love it, Drew! You are the best of the best on these roofs for older single-wide mobile homes. Not only will you go do a job, but you provide the working man who owns an older single-wide the info he needs to do his own project right here on this, and other (so many videos you provide on RUclips!) Videos on RUclips! Thanks, Brotherman! Stay safe, live long, and may you prosper! "Bo" Thomas in Union county, North Carolina......
Thank you. I’m glad to help. I enjoy helping people it makes me feel good about myself sharing is caring. I want everyone to know with some elbow grease and a dedication they to get it done right on there own. Thank you stay blessed
Great workmanship. If I was doing one I wouldn’t put overhang. Those trailers are not designed to support uplift winds. I did one 20 years ago. I will put gutters all around to divert the water.
I lived in one of those for about 5 years! It was my remodel practice! I started off building rafters over a ridge peak, then put T1-11 on the outside, then started cutting away the old roof from inside and started putting colar ties on each rafter set, cutting 4ft away at a time. I have made a few mistakes here and there. But, it came with the land that I had purchased, and I nickel and dime'd it for a couple of years and had a retired contractor help me with the electrical and plumbing. Eventually, I moved away with a half finished home....but the knowledge I learned doing things myself has proven its value.
Very interesting any knowledge is good knowledge I’m sure it was an interesting endeavor. I wish I had seen that project. I like working on mobile homes.
I work on mobile homes for a livin in Central/South Florida 👍 pitsets, it doesn't matter we doem all. Split 80s double wides in half Jackem up throw axles and tires bringem almost anywhere you want. You do good work sir
Your Team are the Roofer Rock Stars. I have feared and dreaded to ever/never get my roof resurfaced for lack of my own roofing knowledge and not sure of the roofers knowledge and care to do a good job. You video empowered me with education to eliminate my re-roofing fear. Now I have to overcome the concern for the roofing wallet cost.
Listen let me give you a telephone number this telephone number is to my local ABC store where I buy my material. If you do not know where there is an ABC store in your area this telephone number can be called and they will give you the closest location to your ZIP Code. The rubber that I buy can be bought 10 feet wide by 50 foot long 10 feet wide by 100 foot long 20 feet wide by 50 foot long and 20 feet wide by 100 foot long. Sometimes in some areas they carry it in 15 foot wide rolls. If you can’t find an ABC in your area call this number they will locate one for you. Thanks for watching and I will also share my playlist of mobile home rubber roofing so you can learn from all of my videos thank you for watching you’re the best make sure you hit the share button and the 👍 910-343-4380 on some of my videos if you look in the description noticed that there is a material list for the size of Mobile Home that I am working on. And by the way 910-294-1761 my name is Drew feel free to call me and talk in person. I love talking to my RUclipsr’s and I love making new friends. ruclips.net/p/PL8xp84iSvTA5MA9B_sGBPGm9RZ5xxlczz
I think we need to appreciate the Trouble ppl go thru to show this kind of videos, very helpful! very useful! and it can save you lots of $$$ and @ the end it can help you fix your home & stay in your home many more years! Good Job Drew & Crew!
Wow! Thank you so much for this video! I am 50 years old starting to flip mobile homes and this really really helped me! This is great! Roofing in mobile homes can be a pain! I am officially your FAN! FOLLOWING!
Glad it was helpful! Please check out my more recent videos on the same thing. I think it will help you out a lot. If you are a mobile home flipper this really makes a huge difference once you figure it out and get it down. It can be done easily in two days two or maybe three guys and there is a lot of money to be made there so how about you hire me to come down there and show you how to do it if you pay for I’ll come
My 1979 solitaire single wide has no leaks and is still in great factory shape but I wanna fresh metal roof installed SOOOOO BADLY!!! Thanks for the longer more detailed in-depth video of a round roof single wide!!! Keep up your great work!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you and to be honest if you have a roof like that I don’t necessarily recommend a metal roof and less you know the contractor has done a lot of them and they do it correctly
Stay tune to my friend make sure you are subscribe and hit that bell notification we are doing another job tomorrow we will make this video also much longer and in more detail
Quit looking you don’t have to look any longer we are starting one tomorrow I have four of these things to do. We are actually going to be going to Louisiana to do four of these jobs
Damn fine job you guys did on this roof! I've never done a rubber roof before back when I was in that business every mobile home owner wanted colored metal put on their roofs and 75% wanted green 15% wanted brown 10% wanted purple with pink dots.
My family has a 1964 Kozy trailer. I have a construction company and I am building a new porch on to it. The trailer roof needs to be addressed. This was very informative. We are located in NY unfortunately. Excellent work sir!
Very cool! This is only one of over 100 videos I have of Mobile Home Rubber Roof and check out some of my other videos. They are very helpful. I’m sure.
Respect for an honest hard working man that wants to share his success with others and so others can see what you do everyday. Cool to see what roofers do. And you guys get the shit end of the stick sometimes with weather and all the hard work up there. Hats off to ya man. Roof looks killer. Keep up the good work. Seem to be doing well for yourself. Would love to work for ya. If I ever move out to NC I'd like to link up with ya. You're a great teacher and I love learning new tricks of the trades. Versatility is key. Cheers. -Liz from Tulsa, Oklahoma
I just bought my 1st home and it's a single wide mobile home- 2 yrs in and just found out I have a leaky roof- wish I knew men like you to help me out- you guys looked like you all work well together- thank you for posting and sharing your knowledge
Whatever you do make sure if you get somebody else to do your roof you don’t have this going on when they start. ruclips.net/video/6eCF4OBSJNA/видео.html
I laid down 2 inch styrofoam with metal on top. Built up the sides to support a gutter system. My heating and cooling savings will pay for it in 4 years. All the work was done by my two young teen age sons and my self so no labor costs other than several orders of pizza. We had a great time and it looks and performs fabulous.
Wow that is awesome dude it sounds like you did a good job I wish I could see it. I am going to be starting a Nother Rubber Roof tomorrow so be sure to be watching I’m downloading another video of a Rubber Roof by Friday please share
Tpagjmpp can deffinately use the added foam insulation in the roofs / ceiling! Walls too! I have always wanted to 2×4 or 2×6 all the way around a mobile home basically restructure the framing! Use a metal roof and either a cementitious or some other siding ! But I feel alot can be done to improve the efficiency of mobile homes!
Great job, quality work. I am pretty sure that I have seen several of your jobs. I live in NC. Every customer always bragged about how you did the work. Showed up when promised did great work cleaned up and left. One comment that small J gutter was to hold the metal roof on not for rain diversion which becomes evident even with a small shower. 😂
Many many videos that will help you out on my channel I promise you that I’m glad you found us if you want to help me hit the thumbs up button after you watch a video if you like it that lets You Tube know that you liked it and helps the algorithm to give me more views thank you so much
If you’re interested we are in shamong New Jersey right now actually doing a another Rubber Roof similar to that if you’re interested check back this evening somewheres around 6 o’clock see see what we have going on here heading to Pennsylvania after we leave Shamong
That is some clean work you do Sir. Excellence in craftsmanship is a matter of integrity, and obviously you're a man of integrity. Cheers to your continued success.
Man in The Wilderness thank you for the very kind words. I treat every job as it were mine. I want the best job we can do every time. No exceptions. Please share and like please
Yes you can put gutters on my job after you install the 2 x 4’s underneath the plywood like I do. That gives you something right there to add gutters to. The only thing you want to do in that situation is you have to leave in about an inch or two of the rubber hanging past the termination bar so it can hang in the gutter. That way water does not go behind the gutters it goes in the gutter. The two by fours you install it there are plenty solid enough to put gutters on
coming out this weekend subscribe to my channel hit the bell notification so you get notified when I download. It will be in great detail and it will be a material list at the bottom
Drew love your videos. You helped me out several years ago adding gutters, I had the insulated White TPO roof and removed the tiny gutters like you said added regular gutters and lots of that expensive glue on rubber behind termination bars that secured top of 5” gutters. Had a bad drainage problem and finally hired an engineer an a acres of city land was draining to the corner of my 3 lots. Fought city as natural flow was south across street. Finally comprised with city, paid for 1600 feet of drainage pipe drop was calculated by engineering company I hired. People south of me have thanked me as some had 2 sump pumps in basements two blocks south that quit running 24/7 after several weeks. Turned out as we installed the drop box on my corner last, a old brick drain was buried just 2” from were we installed drop box going North to a drain that had been cleaned and repaired and was the shortest distance out of town about 1/2 mile to large ditch. Fought that for years. Now my spare lot to North has a 8” new heavy green pipe running in front of it 8’ deep. While it was tons of frustration it increased value of these 3 lots. When it rains hard and rest of town has water in yards and ditches my yard is nice and clear. You sure helped me and I thank you Sir.
I’m glad I was able to help in someway or another I’m glad you got a lot of your drainage problems fixed if you need us you know where to find us thanks for watching my videos
Drew does it hurt to caulk the bottom of vertical sheets of trailer siding at the bottom, to prevent any spiders or bugs from entering. Or was that designed to allow any moisture out?
Wow. I love it. It will last forever I think. I am doing a brand new video on Thursday and I’ll put it up on Saturday this week. Please sub my video and share with at least 1 person
I really really badly need a roof repair my husband was going to do it but he passed away this past February 😭 and you guys are too far away . I'm going to save this video and see if anyone in my area can do it.
Thank you so much !!! Colorado is a financial disaster with tens of thousands of jobs gone since 2007. Lost our home in 2010. Bought 35 very remote acres raw land and 14 x 70 home (1980 model) for $600 and had it moved to the land ($500 to move). Predator generator, cleaned for two days and moved in (8 below 0 that day). The edges of “flat” roof leaked bad so from one end to the other, patched leaks and tore out the exterior walls down to framing 2 x 4s and replaced all floors (replaced many 2 x 6 rim joists -rotted completely at edge) -from main joists which were in good shape, to bottom frame 1 x 4s (some framing 2 x 4s replaced -exterior walls - due to mold and rotting from 1 x 4 up a foot from bottom). New Anderson Windows (required modifying framework each room), new insulation, Tyvek, siding, drywall, new wiring (mice had chewed Romex in walls) - Room by room until done. Interior walls torn out and new walls built changing floor plan completely. Meanwhile, yearly maintenance on roof to prevent damage again. This project was done 100% DEBT FREE, very slowly while living in the house completely off-grid (Antique Ben Franklin stove wood heat). After having our beautifully remodeled 1892 Queen Anne /Victorian home foreclosed I swore I’d never have a mortgage again. We rebuilt this mobile home completely alone (husband and wife) buying a little bit of materials here and there while our grown children called us “crazy” and “trailer trash” and completely rejected us and now have no contact with us. They won’t let our grandkids come to our little farm that we built for the last 10 years. We did this job starting at 50 yrs old and this year I’m 60. We want to do the “rubber roof” this year as shown here. We will probably have to hire a couple of young guys to help us. WHERE DO WE GET THE LARGE RUBBER SHEET MATERIAL?
Great job! I really appreciate you showing your knowledge. Now, I can use this as a blue print on how roofing needs to be done especially since I am a woman and am new to the game. Peace & blessings.
we need to be in earthship homes... hud is doing 203k interest free loan to add on to earthship homes.... wont need ac wont need heat.... no utilities......free from the bondage
Hi Drew! Love your videos and plain-talk explanations along the way. We are getting ready to renovate a 1972 Bendix single wide and have gotten some really great ideas. Thanks so much for posting these (especially the ones on floor repairs!) and showing that with some elbow grease, common sense, and the right tools we can still get many years enjoyment out of our old home.
Thank you very much for watching my videos I appreciate that they were helpful to you. In the beginning I did not originally make them for that I just enjoyed making videos of my work. When I realized that it was helping people and I was getting comments thanking me for the videos it made me want to make better videos so my future videos I hope you find to be better and I hope you are a subscriber and hit that bell notification and with the elbow grease I agree 100% that’s all it takes and takes a little bit of work but anybody can do it if you have an issue you can call me 910-294-1761 I will help you out all I can thanks for watching
Shelley, I just acquired a unique 1972 mobile home: two-storey at one end!! Planning to restore it with some modern upgrades, of course 😃 Would love to see photos of yours! Thanks, Drew & Gang for such helpful videos...and for your honorable perspective of mobile HOMES! 💖💕
Glad you like it! I love working on mobile homes and I love helping people work on. There’s thank you for your comment. ruclips.net/video/AGnQow7qus4/видео.htmlsi=qXSyDshrRGA8mtGb
No B.S., down to business, Getr' Done! The method, sequence, timing and A Great Crew, YOU, are a rare talent. I pray you have the desires of your heart and long life.
Thank you for not ridiculing those of us who live in mobile homes. Most people have a bad attitude about it. But can they say it’s paid for and no mortgage payments? My 16 X 80 is 25 years old and is in great shape for its age. I would like to see a price comparison with a rubber roof versus a metal roof. Great video! Very informative and useful!
Thank you. I have lived in a mobile home before. I loved mine. One of my RUclips viewers seen me doing work on a mobile home I could not believe his comment. The comment was something like this why would you work on a piece of junk like that when you can make much more money someplace else. I was flabbergasted to be honest. I would rather work on somebody’s house that has appreciation as opposed to somebody’s house that thinks they’re better than you to be honest and people with mobile homes seem to really appreciate what I do for them
As far as a metal roof you could not put a metal roof on this house and the reason is there is not enough pitch on the roof for that so Rubber Roof is the best way to go
I am currently remodeling a mobile home and I believe ima have to replace the roof cause of leaks. Replacing walls and floor joists. Found your video very helpful..

Randy thank you for stopping by and leaving your comment and yes that is perfect roof for a mobile home. If you want to learn how to do this project you can easily do it by watching my playlist on Mobile Home roofing I think this might help you out a bunch if you want to do a Mobile home roof the proper way. Some of them are old and we no longer do it that way but the ones with the overhang that is the way we do it now ruclips.net/p/PL182FA4DC1959A2AA
Hi Drew, great words of wisdom. yes, I agree that value is in the eye of the beholder. After having lost my career, my house and wife during the last recession. I became just another homeless veteran, stastically destined to die that way. By the grace of God and a lot of hard work It took me three years to work my way back from the street and into a place I call home. It's a very old single wide mobile home, that has tremendous value to me. It's old and rundown but it's paid for. I am located in the northeast and have the same style roof that is very badly in need of the repair. With the harsh New England winters we experience, I wanted to ask if you know how can we incorporate ridged insulation to help provide some "R" value? At the moment there is none. I look forward to your response. Thank you.
With the method that I’m using you could put Styrofoam insulation in between the one by four strapping I personally believe that if you put the plywood up there it’s gonna make a huge difference all by itself even in the north east
@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair Excellent, Thank you. I've made note of your number. I checked the travel time and I'm well beyond 10Hrs travel not to mention there isn't a vacant room to be had within the entire tristate area...As it is I have just opened a frigging can of worms redoing the bathroom so I'll be lucky if I can get to the roof by the fall and so it goes. Thanks again. ps great job on videos keep up the good work. God bless & be safe. Rod F.
Nice thank you very much I feel like I have a new subscriber or maybe you’re an old subscriber and this is the first time we get to talk thank you for watching my videos I appreciate you I try to make it something that everybody can understand and possibly even get done themselves or do it themselves I appreciate your
I like the guy in the background, my cooler turned over but i never lost no beer out of it. LOL some insulation between the 2x4s would have been nice to add some much needed R value to an insulation.
I live in Delaware. I just pulled this video up to show a neighbor (we live in a Mobile Home Park) . You did a wonderful job! I will def keep you in mind for when we do our roof.
I'm so happy I run across one of your video while I was surfing. I have been having water issues for over a year in my mobile to where the floors are warping several places in my house. I thought it was possibly water line leaks, tore everything apart to find the leaks, no leak from those, but floors were still getting worse. turns out a bad roof was the cause of all the damage, water was coming down inside the walls and ruining floors. So I'm about to tackle that this summer so glad I found you and your how to videos and can rest a little easier knowing I won't have to get back up there next year to do them again😊Thank you!
@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair i wish you were closer, I'd hire you to do it 😂 till next time I'm sure I'll have questions with this project. Thank you once again
Hey buddy I’m going to say you and your crew are highly impressive, I had never seen it done this way and I have been in the roofing business 15 yr ! Great work .. where do you get the mat?
Thank you so much for this video, tomorrow morning I'm going to pick up materials and tools to fix a friend mobile home roof, so this really help me out
Thumbs up, and good work! I learned some stuff from this video, thank you! I see how you could shingle over the roof or even add metal roofing pretty easily.
TheChris AndHollieShow If the roof has no pitch whatsoever like this particular roof by all means DI NOT put shingles on it. Use Rubber, EPDM or TPO EPDM the seams are glued TPO they are heat welded. I don’t think TPO is as good or I also do not think it will last as long as he PDM the good thing about PPO is it is white the bad thing is it is very expensive
TheChris AndHollieShow I have seen people put metal on a mobile home with no pitch on it before but I do not do that. If the roof has an A-frame pitch or at least 12 inches higher in the center it might be able to have metal
Hotrod Hog There is a lip on the top side of the term bar when everything is done and finished we go around that lip with EP DM cock. That is a step that I have not shown yet I guess I should add that to my next videos but. Yes we do Adcock over the screws

Drew's Roofing & Home Repair caulking that is exposed to ultraviolet is just an ongoing maintenance issue. It needs sealant underneath to be a permanent solution.
Enjoyed this video very much,great to see hard workers still exist. A mobil home is no different from a house,you have up keep on both,I've lived in both. A mobil home is a fast way to have a home,when you don't have time to build. They are marvelous homes,there is alot of house's I'd be afraid to pull down the road also
Thank you for your awesome comment Mark. I could not agree with you more doesn’t matter if it’s a mobile home a camper or a tent. If you call it your home it is your home. Installing this awesome Rubber Roof system that we installed on these mobile homes gives them so much life. Please check out some of my more recent videos. As a matter of fact some of the videos I like in my playlist are from our travel videos
I need help. RUclips is not sharing my videos as much. I really need a few likes so they will share my videos that others like yourself that need to see it.
I would love to come there. We have been to West Virginia Virginia and New Jersey Pennsylvania South Carolina the mountains of North Carolina and many other places

Thank you Drew, i have watched alot of your videos and they are great.. i have an older mobile home that was my grandfathers and needs the roof replaced, I'm in UT. Just wanted to say thanks.
The beautiful state of Utah absolutely incredible place incredible place. I think that place is so beautiful. At least the pictures that I see of Utah or amazing. Sorry I can’t come your way but I can tell you I appreciate you watching my videos and if they helped you please hit that thumbs up and by all means make sure that you are subscribed to my channel. We are gonna be starting a mobile home Rubber Roof in about three weeks. I hope to see you there.
I can't say enough about this channel. I buy mobile homes and fix them up to resell and make a profit. With todays market and houses being in short supply, most people are now looking to purchase mobile homes. That makes sense, especially if you can find one on a piece of land and not have to pay lot rent monthly. But you have to be careful when purchasing a used mobile home. There can be issues that you may not be aware of. That's why you have to know what your doing and make sure that there is no major damage. This includes mold and mildew from leaking roofs and plumbing. The list goes on and on. This channel Drew's Roofing & Home Repair is a great place to learn by watching their videos to gather important information.

And I do everything I can to make their homes great again. I wish I had more people like you to share my channel.

I really enjoy reading the comments that my RUclipsrs make on my channel. So do me a favor share the hell out of it make sure you hit that thumbs up And thanks for watching and for your comments
Looking back at my channel and your comment I want to go thank you just thank you I appreciate that comment really makes me feel good about my channel. I try to teach and learn people whatever they need to know. The right way is the only way I’ve done it the wrong way I’ve seen it down the wrong way. Do it right the first time you’re the best thanks for sharing or viewing my video
I have seen someone put a pitch roof and side walls on their lake home trailer.That way the roof is shingled and siding on walls.Am sure they insulated the walls to get a better R value.
@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair This trailer was a summertime weekend home i think.Cheaper then starting from nothing.When they were done you couldn't tell it was once a trailer home.
@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair Did those seal with a mastic type compound, or are they grommet type seals available? Also, that termination trim,, is there an insert that covers the screw heads ?
Every time you go to the side and show a side view. I'm afraid I'm going to watch you fall🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ but love the video..now if I could pull this off myself. 😂
Forget trapping all that wood that is supseptable to rot from condensation. Just foam adhere down some tapered isocianurate insulation and a 60 mill TPO membrane. Brilliant white surface reflecting the sun's heat and additional R-7 from isocianurate insulation. 1/2 the price, additional thermal protection and no fasteners penetrating the original roof.
JACK CARDIN I agree with you on the trapped moisture and non treated lumber they used. The EPDM they used always have the seems fail. I have to say that TPO’s track record sucks. It’s getting better with new formulas but isn’t better than the EPDM. Neither one of these come close to a 24 gauge standing seam metal roof panel system with no exposed fasteners.
just one concern those mobile homes don't have a drip edge for a reason once u add a drip u add up force on the roof from wind if ur in a hurricane or high wind zone ur roof will be the first to get ripped off unless u brace the frame work to handel that kind of load there not designed to have up force placed on them at all
We only add 4 to 6 inches and I am in a Highwind area and we have been doing this for 20 years here and none of them have ever been damaged by hurricane unless a tree hit it
Drew's Roofing & Home Repair I have been playing Russian Roulette for 20 years and have never had a problem yet. So I’m sure it’s safe for everyone to do? Come-on!
Paul Underwood true,but OSB’s main purpose for sheathing is its shear strength. Plywood is far superior for the loads applied in low pitched roof situation like this one where the shear strength means nothing.
I used to own an exact same style of mobile home it was even the same color back in the early 2000s I paid $3,600 cash for it and was allowed to keep it in the trailer park for $185 a month
Well a few things. It would be the 1st roof I ever seen with zero vents. Plumbing or other wise. Also no need to detail how. But a white roof is a lot better then black roofs. I wanna add. If no vents plumbing or other wise we’re not there before. Correct thing to do is inform owner of the issue.
This roof has two vents in it that’s all it had when I got there and I installed two new vents if you notice you’ll see where I cut the hole for one of them
Drew's Roofing & Home Repair I didn’t notice any vents. In the end of video. If you did then thumbs up. (My bad) Maybe I missed it I have been in the field 30yrs plus. And if I got to a customers house and it needs vents or plumbing vents. Etc. And they ask me to just roof it. I’ll refuse the job. Ya there’s some things you can cheat and some you can’t. Those you can’t cheat. I know some don’t have the $ to fix it correctly. But I always push for the job to be done correct. Just curious I don’t know where your at but you done set up a base for swamp coolers?? Maybe it’s not a big thing where your at.
love how that guy at the end is up on this brand new rubber roof smoking a cigarette!!! Brilliant!😮
Are you worried that he was going to put a cigarette out on the rubber? Don’t think so when we smoke a cigarette which we are smokers apparently maybe you’re not I know how non-smokers are when they see smokers we put our cigarette butts in our pockets and I don’t mind if my guys smoke cigarettes long as they don’t throw your cigarettes on the ground.
I think the job we did for the homeowner meant more than anything. We did a great job on the roof and all you want to concentrate on. Is somebody smoking a cigarette the homeowner was up on the roof smoking cigarettes while we were doing the job imagine that, why don’t you concentrate on the good things instead of the things that you consider bad is there anything good you could say besides that if not, maybe you should just stay away from my channel I don’t need negativity. We all smoke including the homeowner, he didn’t seem to mind.
I think I tried calling and got no response.
@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair that rubber is thick enough even if you put a cigarette out on it, I doubt it would phase it. People don't realize how durable the rubber roof is, its going to last 20 years at least. Maybe you could take some old scrap rubber and make a video showing how much abuse it could take, put a cigar out on it, then take a torch to it, something just to show how tough it is.
Good idea
I love it when you said: "A mobile home is somebody else home"....thank you.
I lived in 1 and I called it my home. If you at the moments someone said I was wasting my tome
Oh I love Mobile Home. And yes they are somebody’s home. Check out my latest one. ruclips.net/video/cZmT7vmiCdE/видео.html
@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair All homes are somebody's homes. I hate the term "trailer". That is not the right term for a home in my opinion.
Agreed
I hope you were still watching my videos as I hope to say they are getting better and better. I also have another channel they could use some help getting my subscriber count up hope I’m not spamming you and aggravating you for sending you this link.

Mobile home repair is a much needed industry thats seriously lacking in the world in my opinion.
We're home owners too....and we need repairs!
Thank God for men like you and the others there doing this work!
I've leaned a great deal of how to from your videos.

I need this done to my mobile home
Love when you said a mobile home is someone's home!
That’s because I really believe it it is somebody’s home. I have lived in mobile homes myself single Wides. And I felt like it was my home
"A mobile home is someone else's home, exactly."--YES! I have a single wide. Raised my kids in it. I always have taken care of it and still live here with my wife. It's about time for a new roof. I've had my house paid for for over 15 years and have been able to save money instead of paying a 30 year mortgage, so it's been worth it. Nice video.
Your story is the exact kind of story. I like to hear. Stay blessed thank you for the feedback and the comments. Have a good day.
Polite, respectful, and extremely skilled

We are always glad to help. Thank you for your comments.
How long does that type of roof last? I love you work, clean and crisp.
30 yrs. I love it also
Hi Drew & crew! You replaced my roof 5 yrs ago. Everyone knew what they were to do, and the whole process ran smoothly. It was like a choreographed dance. Very friendly & responsible. In just 3 days you cleaned up and were done.
THANK YOU! Jane - Chapel Hill
Yes we were. Thank you for the kind words. I’m glad u like it. I’m sure your roof does not leak anymore. We were glad to do your job. You should never have to worry about it again.

I hope all my videos will help.
I make them all the time. Maybe this will help also

I just wanted to let you know that I’ve been watching these videos closely, you’ve been a great teacher and guide for me. I have a trailer that needs to be redone top to bottom. I wanted to build it myself, and you’ve been showing me how to do that. I appreciate what you do, you’ve been assisting me in making my dreams come true man.
I am so glad I am helping you. I make the videos so people like you can benefit from them
Where are you located?
@@beaufunkepelub Delaware
Love the over hang. It's so important, wish people understood how water follows the siding and will find cracks in window frames and siding separations. This is a GREAT idea and makes so much sense. Gotta shed that water away from the house. Very nice job and looks like a GREAT product and proceedure.
Thank you. I hope I got the thumbs up
Especially in older models. We deal with this a lot. Hate it!

Straight to the point without all of the unnecessary yapping.
Thank you
This looks really professional. I did the exact same thing to my roof, except I didn't put down any plywood at all. I just glued the rubber sheets directly onto the old roof, and screwed in the Termination Bars around the edges, and it is still leak-proof, and holding up well after almost 10 years. The entire thing cost me about 1000 dollars in materials.
I hope you go back to my older videos and see how we did it
Where do you get the rubber sheets
ABC Supply or Best distributing look them up on your Google and see how far they are from you call them ask them what they have what I’m using is .045 EP DM rubber
Did you just bend the rubber over the sharp edge of the sheeting and did you glue it down under the termination bar on the side that the termination bar screws to
@@jeffschumacher9496 I just bent it over the edge and screwed the termination bar in.
I’ve been a roofer for 25+ years in Northern California. This is a great idea that I’ve talked about. Glad to see it in action. Don’t think inspectors code would allow it here. Glad you posted the video. I may use it to prove my point at the permit office. Thanks. Make the trade proud.!
I hope you have good luck with your inspector it makes sense the roof is for a five times stronger after you add this plywood and strapping to the roof. It’s amazing how strong it actually is.
This is exactly what I needed to know to fix the roof on my son's place so my granddaughter has a safe, dry place to live. THANK YOU!!!
Glad to help
Wow! That was awesome! I’ve never heard of a rubber roof on a mobile home. I need a few small areas repaired,can afford a entire roof job. I’ll look into this. Thinking of selling my home in GA. Great job! Thank you for the lesson.🤓
I really appreciate the way you care about the customer,class act,well done sir.......
That video was four years old check out some of my recent videos. I think you’ll feel the same way.

Thank you so much from Ft Payne Alabama ❤️
We just got back from Alabama we were in Hazel Green and I actually did a video of a roof that we did there came out great thanks for watching glad I can help what kind of videos are you looking for?
I’m glad she got her money back
@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair could you tell me how much something like this costs roughly? I have a 69’ trailer.. about 50 ft long single wide. We’ve had a decent puddle over our bedroom and don’t know how to properly fix it and might have to invest in a roof like you did in this video. If you could please email me! Rebecca.Dixon91@yahoo.com thank you!!
Thank you for the question. If you just have a leak or two the cheapest way might be to use Hydro stop. Hydro stop is easy to apply and it works real well for fixing leaks. Hydro-Stop look it up on RUclips. You can buy it at ABC supply store near you.
@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair it’s not a leak more like an indent/divet on the rooftop which is creating a puddle- so now we have a puddle probably 4 ft in diameter above our room. I was wondering if you could tell me how much a roof like the one you installed cost?
Like this video? Are you kidding me? I love it, Drew! You are the best of the best on these roofs for older single-wide mobile homes. Not only will you go do a job, but you provide the working man who owns an older single-wide the info he needs to do his own project right here on this, and other (so many videos you provide on RUclips!) Videos on RUclips! Thanks, Brotherman! Stay safe, live long, and may you prosper! "Bo" Thomas in Union county, North Carolina......
Thank you. I’m glad to help. I enjoy helping people it makes me feel good about myself sharing is caring. I want everyone to know with some elbow grease and a dedication they to get it done right on there own. Thank you stay blessed
Great workmanship. If I was doing one I wouldn’t put overhang. Those trailers are not designed to support uplift winds. I did one 20 years ago. I will put gutters all around to divert the water.
I lived in one of those for about 5 years! It was my remodel practice! I started off building rafters over a ridge peak, then put T1-11 on the outside, then started cutting away the old roof from inside and started putting colar ties on each rafter set, cutting 4ft away at a time. I have made a few mistakes here and there. But, it came with the land that I had purchased, and I nickel and dime'd it for a couple of years and had a retired contractor help me with the electrical and plumbing. Eventually, I moved away with a half finished home....but the knowledge I learned doing things myself has proven its value.
Very interesting any knowledge is good knowledge I’m sure it was an interesting endeavor. I wish I had seen that project. I like working on mobile homes.
I work on mobile homes for a livin in Central/South Florida 👍 pitsets, it doesn't matter we doem all. Split 80s double wides in half Jackem up throw axles and tires bringem almost anywhere you want. You do good work sir

Your Team are the Roofer Rock Stars. I have feared and dreaded to ever/never get my roof resurfaced for lack of my own roofing knowledge and not sure of the roofers knowledge and care to do a good job. You video empowered me with education to eliminate my re-roofing fear. Now I have to overcome the concern for the roofing wallet cost.
Listen let me give you a telephone number this telephone number is to my local ABC store where I buy my material. If you do not know where there is an ABC store in your area this telephone number can be called and they will give you the closest location to your ZIP Code. The rubber that I buy can be bought 10 feet wide by 50 foot long 10 feet wide by 100 foot long 20 feet wide by 50 foot long and 20 feet wide by 100 foot long. Sometimes in some areas they carry it in 15 foot wide rolls. If you can’t find an ABC in your area call this number they will locate one for you.

@Drewsroofingandhomerepair I called today and left a message. I saw a roof repair on u tube I love .will come to Elizabeth city north Carolina?
My 1979 solitaire single wide has no leaks and is still in great factory shape but I wanna fresh metal roof installed SOOOOO BADLY!!! Thanks for the longer more detailed in-depth video of a round roof single wide!!! Keep up your great work!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you so much I will be uploading more soon
Thank you and to be honest if you have a roof like that I don’t necessarily recommend a metal roof and less you know the contractor has done a lot of them and they do it correctly
Drew's Roofing & Home Repair , I’m scouring the web and RUclips for in-depth instructional videos, so I can do it myself... it’s frustrating... 🤦🏼♂️
Stay tune to my friend make sure you are subscribe and hit that bell notification we are doing another job tomorrow we will make this video also much longer and in more detail
Quit looking you don’t have to look any longer we are starting one tomorrow I have four of these things to do. We are actually going to be going to Louisiana to do four of these jobs
Damn fine job you guys did on this roof! I've never done a rubber roof before back when I was in that business every mobile home owner wanted colored metal put on their roofs and 75% wanted green 15% wanted brown 10% wanted purple with pink dots.
Purple with pink dots LOL that’s funny are you for real.
Very clean looking finished job, and you are right a home is a home no matter what it is.
Yes the home is a home this is a good way to make it the best tell me you can have
My family has a 1964 Kozy trailer. I have a construction company and I am building a new porch on to it. The trailer roof needs to be addressed. This was very informative. We are located in NY unfortunately. Excellent work sir!
Very cool! This is only one of over 100 videos I have of Mobile Home Rubber Roof and check out some of my other videos. They are very helpful. I’m sure.
It was a true joy watching a remodel actually look as it should. So many people are putting up remodel jobs that look terrible.
Thank you so much for watching I hope you are a subscriber you’re the best
Respect for an honest hard working man that wants to share his success with others and so others can see what you do everyday. Cool to see what roofers do. And you guys get the shit end of the stick sometimes with weather and all the hard work up there. Hats off to ya man. Roof looks killer. Keep up the good work. Seem to be doing well for yourself. Would love to work for ya. If I ever move out to NC I'd like to link up with ya. You're a great teacher and I love learning new tricks of the trades. Versatility is key. Cheers.

I laid down 2 inch styrofoam with metal on top. Built up the sides to support a gutter system. My heating and cooling savings will pay for it in 4 years. All the work was done by my two young teen age sons and my self so no labor costs other than several orders of pizza.
We had a great time and it looks and performs fabulous.
Wow that is awesome dude it sounds like you did a good job I wish I could see it. I am going to be starting a Nother Rubber Roof tomorrow so be sure to be watching I’m downloading another video of a Rubber Roof by Friday please share
what no beer, on this hard job ??
Tpagjmpp can deffinately use the added foam insulation in the roofs / ceiling! Walls too! I have always wanted to 2×4 or 2×6 all the way around a mobile home basically restructure the framing! Use a metal roof and either a cementitious or some other siding ! But I feel alot can be done to improve the efficiency of mobile homes!
Lol
For sure
Great job, quality work. I am pretty sure that I have seen several of your jobs. I live in NC. Every customer always bragged about how you did the work. Showed up when promised did great work cleaned up and left. One comment that small J gutter was to hold the metal roof on not for rain diversion which becomes evident even with a small shower. 😂
Thank you for your comment. I appreciate it. Hard work pays off and you’re right. The gutters don’t do anything except for hold the roof on.
I am 26 yes old in texas and I'm doing a full rebuild from scratch so seeing things I can do and how to do it help out a whole lot thank you

I think hes asking if he can put gutters you find on actuall houses on a mobile home. Being there kinda heavy etc.
Yes you can put gutters on my job after you install the 2 x 4’s underneath the plywood like I do. That gives you something right there to add gutters to. The only thing you want to do in that situation is you have to leave in about an inch or two of the rubber hanging past the termination bar so it can hang in the gutter. That way water does not go behind the gutters it goes in the gutter. The two by fours you install it there are plenty solid enough to put gutters on
coming out this weekend subscribe to my channel hit the bell notification so you get notified when I download. It will be in great detail and it will be a material list at the bottom
Please check out my latest video and I hope you subscribe. ruclips.net/video/cZmT7vmiCdE/видео.html
Drew love your videos. You helped me out several years ago adding gutters, I had the insulated White TPO roof and removed the tiny gutters like you said added regular gutters and lots of that expensive glue on rubber behind termination bars that secured top of 5” gutters. Had a bad drainage problem and finally hired an engineer an a acres of city land was draining to the corner of my 3 lots.
Fought city as natural flow was south across street. Finally comprised with city, paid for 1600 feet of drainage pipe drop was calculated by engineering company I hired. People south of me have thanked me as some had 2 sump pumps in basements two blocks south that quit running 24/7 after several weeks. Turned out as we installed the drop box on my corner last, a old brick drain was buried just 2” from were we installed drop box going North to a drain that had been cleaned and repaired and was the shortest distance out of town about 1/2 mile to large ditch. Fought that for years. Now my spare lot to North has a 8” new heavy green pipe running in front of it 8’ deep. While it was tons of frustration it increased value of these 3 lots. When it rains hard and rest of town has water in yards and ditches my yard is nice and clear. You sure helped me and I thank you Sir.
I’m glad I was able to help in someway or another I’m glad you got a lot of your drainage problems fixed if you need us you know where to find us thanks for watching my videos
Drew does it hurt to caulk the bottom of vertical sheets of trailer siding at the bottom, to prevent any spiders or bugs from entering. Or was that designed to allow any moisture out?
Glad I could help

Great job.
I did a the same rubber roof but one piece the whole thing and edge metal vs term bar..
Looks great still their 35yrs later
Wow. I love it. It will last forever I think. I am doing a brand new video on Thursday and I’ll put it up on Saturday this week. Please sub my video and share with at least 1 person
Now, does this require construction permits or is it considered "maintenance" that doesn't require a construction permit? I'm in WI, Jefferson Cty.
Not sure in your area. But no permits needed here
I really really badly need a roof repair my husband was going to do it but he passed away this past February 😭 and you guys are too far away . I'm going to save this video and see if anyone in my area can do it.
Where are you how far out are you you never know I just gave somebody a price 15 hours away
I have a lot of respect for competent roofers. Thank You!
We work hard to make it right thank you so much for your compliment
Where did you get the rubber and how much did it cost
Thank you so much !!! Colorado is a financial disaster with tens of thousands of jobs gone since 2007. Lost our home in 2010. Bought 35 very remote acres raw land and 14 x 70 home (1980 model) for $600 and had it moved to the land ($500 to move). Predator generator, cleaned for two days and moved in (8 below 0 that day). The edges of “flat” roof leaked bad so from one end to the other, patched leaks and tore out the exterior walls down to framing 2 x 4s and replaced all floors (replaced many 2 x 6 rim joists -rotted completely at edge) -from main joists which were in good shape, to bottom frame 1 x 4s (some framing 2 x 4s replaced -exterior walls - due to mold and rotting from 1 x 4 up a foot from bottom). New Anderson Windows (required modifying framework each room), new insulation, Tyvek, siding, drywall, new wiring (mice had chewed Romex in walls) - Room by room until done. Interior walls torn out and new walls built changing floor plan completely. Meanwhile, yearly maintenance on roof to prevent damage again. This project was done 100% DEBT FREE, very slowly while living in the house completely off-grid (Antique Ben Franklin stove wood heat). After having our beautifully remodeled 1892 Queen Anne /Victorian home foreclosed I swore I’d never have a mortgage again. We rebuilt this mobile home completely alone (husband and wife) buying a little bit of materials here and there while our grown children called us “crazy” and “trailer trash” and completely rejected us and now have no contact with us. They won’t let our grandkids come to our little farm that we built for the last 10 years. We did this job starting at 50 yrs old and this year I’m 60. We want to do the “rubber roof” this year as shown here. We will probably have to hire a couple of young guys to help us. WHERE DO WE GET THE LARGE RUBBER SHEET MATERIAL?
ABC supply. Nice talking to you on the phone. To bad about the children. There lose. I love to hear success stories
Great job! I really appreciate you showing your knowledge. Now, I can use this as a blue print on how roofing needs to be done especially since I am a woman and am new to the game. Peace & blessings.
Thank you so much I like helping
Thanks

Hi Drew! Love your videos and plain-talk explanations along the way. We are getting ready to renovate a 1972 Bendix single wide and have gotten some really great ideas. Thanks so much for posting these (especially the ones on floor repairs!) and showing that with some elbow grease, common sense, and the right tools we can still get many years enjoyment out of our old home.
Thank you very much for watching my videos I appreciate that they were helpful to you. In the beginning I did not originally make them for that I just enjoyed making videos of my work. When I realized that it was helping people and I was getting comments thanking me for the videos it made me want to make better videos so my future videos I hope you find to be better and I hope you are a subscriber and hit that bell notification and with the elbow grease I agree 100% that’s all it takes and takes a little bit of work but anybody can do it if you have an issue you can call me 910-294-1761 I will help you out all I can thanks for watching
I think this is my most explained video ever. ruclips.net/video/cZmT7vmiCdE/видео.html

Thank you for not ridiculing those of us who live in mobile homes. Most people have a bad attitude about it. But can they say it’s paid for and no mortgage payments? My 16 X 80 is 25 years old and is in great shape for its age. I would like to see a price comparison with a rubber roof versus a metal roof. Great video! Very informative and useful!
Thank you. I have lived in a mobile home before. I loved mine. One of my RUclips viewers seen me doing work on a mobile home I could not believe his comment. The comment was something like this why would you work on a piece of junk like that when you can make much more money someplace else. I was flabbergasted to be honest. I would rather work on somebody’s house that has appreciation as opposed to somebody’s house that thinks they’re better than you to be honest and people with mobile homes seem to really appreciate what I do for them
As far as a metal roof you could not put a metal roof on this house and the reason is there is not enough pitch on the roof for that so Rubber Roof is the best way to go
I am in the process of buying my mobile home in a trailer park. Can't wait to fix it up and enjoy my new home. Great work guys
Your the best. Enjoy your new home.

Hi Drew, great words of wisdom. yes, I agree that value is in the eye of the beholder. After having lost my career, my house and wife during the last recession. I became just another homeless veteran, stastically destined to die that way. By the grace of God and a lot of hard work It took me three years to work my way back from the street and into a place I call home. It's a very old single wide mobile home, that has tremendous value to me. It's old and rundown but it's paid for. I am located in the northeast and have the same style roof that is very badly in need of the repair. With the harsh New England winters we experience, I wanted to ask if you know how can we incorporate ridged insulation to help provide some "R" value? At the moment there is none. I look forward to your response. Thank you.
With the method that I’m using you could put Styrofoam insulation in between the one by four strapping I personally believe that if you put the plywood up there it’s gonna make a huge difference all by itself even in the north east
I do have a phone number 910-845-2207 call me leave a message I’ll answer back
@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair Excellent, Thank you. I've made note of your number. I checked the travel time and I'm well beyond 10Hrs travel not to mention there isn't a vacant room to be had within the entire tristate area...As it is I have just opened a frigging can of worms redoing the bathroom so I'll be lucky if I can get to the roof by the fall and so it goes. Thanks again. ps great job on videos keep up the good work. God bless & be safe. Rod F.
Nice thank you very much I feel like I have a new subscriber or maybe you’re an old subscriber and this is the first time we get to talk thank you for watching my videos I appreciate you I try to make it something that everybody can understand and possibly even get done themselves or do it themselves I appreciate your
Good job, great work....
Great video. I have a 1970 that needs a roof and restore. Just might give em a call.
I hope you do

A quality repair. It's good to see people doing good work.
Thank you so much
I like the guy in the background, my cooler turned over but i never lost no beer out of it. LOL some insulation between the 2x4s would have been nice to add some much needed R value to an insulation.
True
I am replacing a snowfall roof. Thank you for your videos. They will help.
Thanks for watching
A little stagger would of been good but all in all. Looks good my friend.
mindseeker It’s not structural. That is the only reason why I did not worry about lining them up
mindseeker Also we added the strapping so we figured that was added strength already
Agreed, but other than that and putting a seam in the middle they did a good job
I know. But i just have a thing about staggers. At work and home 😂 but still. Like i said nice job man 👍👍
Thank you so much for the like and share with at least one friend
I live in Delaware. I just pulled this video up to show a neighbor (we live in a Mobile Home Park) . You did a wonderful job! I will def keep you in mind for when we do our roof.

I'm so happy I run across one of your video while I was surfing. I have been having water issues for over a year in my mobile to where the floors are warping several places in my house. I thought it was possibly water line leaks, tore everything apart to find the leaks, no leak from those, but floors were still getting worse. turns out a bad roof was the cause of all the damage, water was coming down inside the walls and ruining floors. So I'm about to tackle that this summer so glad I found you and your how to videos and can rest a little easier knowing I won't have to get back up there next year to do them again😊Thank you!

Thumbs up, and good work! I learned some stuff from this video, thank you! I see how you could shingle over the roof or even add metal roofing pretty easily.
TheChris AndHollieShow If the roof has no pitch whatsoever like this particular roof by all means DI NOT put shingles on it. Use Rubber, EPDM or TPO EPDM the seams are glued TPO they are heat welded. I don’t think TPO is as good or I also do not think it will last as long as he PDM the good thing about PPO is it is white the bad thing is it is very expensive
TheChris AndHollieShow I have seen people put metal on a mobile home with no pitch on it before but I do not do that. If the roof has an A-frame pitch or at least 12 inches higher in the center it might be able to have metal

Drew, I didn't see any sealant go behind the term bar. Ain't that a requirement for no leaks under the screws?
Hotrod Hog There is a lip on the top side of the term bar when everything is done and finished we go around that lip with EP DM cock. That is a step that I have not shown yet I guess I should add that to my next videos but. Yes we do Adcock over the screws

Thank you for your awesome comment Mark. I could not agree with you more doesn’t matter if it’s a mobile home a camper or a tent. If you call it your home it is your home. Installing this awesome Rubber Roof system that we installed on these mobile homes gives them so much life. Please check out some of my more recent videos.

Thank you bad driver I agree no more leaks on this house
I just down loaded another video I hope you check it out
I can't say enough about this channel. I buy mobile homes and fix them up to resell and make a profit. With todays market and houses being in short supply, most people are now looking to purchase mobile homes. That makes sense, especially if you can find one on a piece of land and not have to pay lot rent monthly. But you have to be careful when purchasing a used mobile home. There can be issues that you may not be aware of. That's why you have to know what your doing and make sure that there is no major damage. This includes mold and mildew from leaking roofs and plumbing. The list goes on and on. This channel Drew's Roofing & Home Repair is a great place to learn by watching their videos to gather important information. If you are in need of mobile home repairs and are in South Carolina then I highly recommend you give them a call. If not then just watch their awesome videos and subscribe to their RUclips channel.
Thank you thank you thank you. I’m glad you like my channel. I try to do my best on his mobile homes to help people. These mobile homes are somebody’s house. And I do everything I can to make their homes great again. I wish I had more people like you to share my channel. For some reason my video views are going down and not up. 21,300 subscribers and I’m lucky if I get 1000 views on my videos in a month. It’s weird but anyways thank you for your comments. I really enjoy reading the comments that my RUclipsrs make on my channel. So do me a favor share the hell out of it make sure you hit that thumbs up And thanks for watching and for your comments
Looking back at my channel and your comment I want to go thank you just thank you I appreciate that comment really makes me feel good about my channel.

Do it right the first time you’re the best thanks for sharing or viewing my video
Best comment ever thank you so much
I have seen someone put a pitch roof and side walls on their lake home trailer.That way the roof is shingled and siding on walls.Am sure they insulated the walls to get a better R value.
I’m not a fan of a pitched roof over a mobile home very expensive job
@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair This trailer was a summertime weekend home i think.Cheaper then starting from nothing.When they were done you couldn't tell it was once a trailer home.

Where did all the penetrations go?
chad argon there were only 2 And we put them back on. They are the vent pipes for the sinks and toilets
@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair Did those seal with a mastic type compound, or are they grommet type seals available?
Also, that termination trim,, is there an insert that covers the screw heads ?
Every time you go to the side and show a side view. I'm afraid I'm going to watch you fall🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ but love the video..now if I could pull this off myself. 😂
You can do it
ruclips.net/p/PL8xp84iSvTA5iCdindB2vv6hs5jWv524j
Forget trapping all that wood that is supseptable to rot from condensation. Just foam adhere down some tapered isocianurate insulation and a 60 mill TPO membrane. Brilliant white surface reflecting the sun's heat and additional R-7 from isocianurate insulation. 1/2 the price, additional thermal protection and no fasteners penetrating the original roof.
JACK CARDIN I agree with you on the trapped moisture and non treated lumber they used. The EPDM they used always have the seems fail. I have to say that TPO’s track record sucks. It’s getting better with new formulas but isn’t better than the EPDM. Neither one of these come close to a 24 gauge standing seam metal roof panel system with no exposed fasteners.
You cannot cover up treated wood with Rubber
Drew's Roofing & Home Repair that’s funny 😆, it’s building code in other parts of the country.
There are many different ways this is only an example of one of them
JACK CARDIN My local Building inspector thought it was the greatest thing he’d ever seen
Love it, need this done to my daughter trailer
I wish I could come and do it my self. But I’m. It traveling any more. It is the best roof over for a mobile home.
YOU KNOW I TOTALLY AGREE..IF I HAD A MOBILE HOME I WOULD CARE ABOUT MY ROOF....EVERYBODY SHOULD....
Most important thing to worry about is the root
Why did you not offset the plywood?
probably because it is not structural
Yes sir it’s not structural therefore we did not have to
It’s not structural
Drew's Roofing & Home Repair just because it’s not required, doesn’t mean it isn’t a good idea.
Trevor Payne not structural
just one concern those mobile homes don't have a drip edge for a reason once u add a drip u add up force on the roof from wind if ur in a hurricane or high wind zone ur roof will be the first to get ripped off unless u brace the frame work to handel that kind of load there not designed to have up force placed on them at all
We only add 4 to 6 inches and I am in a Highwind area and we have been doing this for 20 years here and none of them have ever been damaged by hurricane unless a tree hit it
Drew's Roofing & Home Repair I have been playing Russian Roulette for 20 years and have never had a problem yet. So I’m sure it’s safe for everyone to do? Come-on!
your plywood axis is going the wrong way when you lay it down like that. it will sag between the 2x4's.
That is actually why we installed all the blocking
Thank you I agree 100%
Paul Underwood true,but OSB’s main purpose for sheathing is its shear strength. Plywood is far superior for the loads applied in low pitched roof situation like this one where the shear strength means nothing.
Looked like one of those jobs where everything went well and smooth. Love those jobs
Thank you. I have so many videos. Like. Over 1000
Nice job very professional , I have put on at least 100 mobile home rubber roofs this is 5 stars.
Thank you so much we appreciate that
I used to own an exact same style of mobile home it was even the same color back in the early 2000s I paid $3,600 cash for it and was allowed to keep it in the trailer park for $185 a month
Well a few things.
It would be the 1st roof I ever seen with zero vents. Plumbing or other wise.
Also no need to detail how. But a white roof is a lot better then black roofs.
I wanna add. If no vents plumbing or other wise we’re not there before.
Correct thing to do is inform owner of the issue.
This roof has two vents in it that’s all it had when I got there and I installed two new vents if you notice you’ll see where I cut the hole for one of them
Drew's Roofing & Home Repair
I didn’t notice any vents. In the end of video.
If you did then thumbs up. (My bad)
Maybe I missed it
I have been in the field 30yrs plus.
And if I got to a customers house and it needs vents or plumbing vents. Etc.
And they ask me to just roof it. I’ll refuse the job.
Ya there’s some things you can cheat and some you can’t. Those you can’t cheat.
I know some don’t have the $ to fix it correctly. But I always push for the job to be done correct.
Just curious I don’t know where your at but you done set up a base for swamp coolers??
Maybe it’s not a big thing where your at.
I like this however my roof has shingles. (Kansas) just looking at different roofs
This Rubber Roof is the best way better than shingles
Thanks for all you do for us that own mobile homes. Appreciate you so much!!
Glad you like them!
