I like how they show the demo on a three tab roof with gently hand nailed nails. Much harder on an architectural shingle roof (can't lift the individual tabs like a 3 tab roof) with nails driven in with a roofing nailer and the nails buried halfway through the nail flange.
@@stevenevangelist5221 i had to buy 150' of rope and some climbing gear to fix a couple of my shingles that blew off my steep roof during a storm. I was gonna pay someone but all the places wanted $700 to come out. FOR 2 Shingles. I saved a LOT of money that day and got some nice new gear!
I am in need of replacing my own flange and just started browsing RUclips videos. This was my first video I watched. I was impressed until I read some of the comments. I'm not criticizing whatsoever, but let me tell you what I did when searching videos on radiator replacement on my Dodge Dakota pickup truck last year; I compared videos and made notes and combined the best of the videos and found the best way to do it and it worked great. I will do the same with the flange replacement, just pick and choose what I think is best, AND, I have a friend who does this sort of work (he lives in another state) and I'll ask his professional opinions. In closing, THANK YOU Dustin for posting the video, it was very helpful. My only concern is how to get on the roof SAFELY. Any comments on this subject?
hey james..thanks for your input...so true..i do whats best for me....heres what i like to do and if you use it great, if not...thats ok too..lol comments are hilarious and actually the best part of the job....after years and years ,still wary about stepping foot on the roof..knowing i could fall at anytime helps keep me aware...thanks so much for commenting!
@@homemend I liked your video and the time you put into it. RUclips videos have saved me THOUSANDS of dollars in 2019 alone. Btw, I spoke with my contractor friend in Michigan and he concurs, putting 2 nails in the bottom of the boot is necessary and professional. Thanks again for your video, I have subscribed!
That’s a great question, Jose. I would say if it’s going to do major shingle damage to replace it I would go over top of it with the boot. I hope this helps.
Only difference is the shingles will be sealed and you have to be super careful to not damage the shingles. Adding a small piece of ice and water shield around the pipe and caulking around the sides will help prolong life. After you install plumbing flashing its also good to put caulking around the seam of the flange so it doesn't shrink dry or crack around the top of pipe.
I like Tom Silva's method which is on RUclips. He puts a new rubber collar over the old one with tar sealant in between. Its a lot less work and just as effective.
That's what I did. I realize it is a temporary fix until my house needs a few roof. Th e problem with these cheap Oatey boits is the only last 10-15 years which is less than most shingles. Using them is roofing malpractice.
placing nails at the bottom corners of the new vent cover will be the place of a leak, water will wick under the flashing and rust out the nail and then the roof material; fixed a lot of these things in my 50 + years and every time someone nails those corners there is a leak; also adding sealant under the flashing and shingles makes a better repair, just saying!
I don't think I'd have nailed the bottom of that collar tab. I would nail it up under the shingle, then put some black silicone underneath the collar tab on the bottom so it won't lift in high wind. Nailing the collar tab on the bottom like that just creates an exposed channel directly through your roofing to the interior.
I should send a pic of mine. It is on a shingled roof that is over 30 years old. I am re-shingling it now. I don't know if this was a way they did it over 30 years ago (I doubt it!) or the roofing contractors just did a crappy get-r-done short cut (most likely)? But, I'll try to briefly explain it. The flashing at the roof surface looks normal. The problem is above that it does not have the "cone-shaped" aluminum with the rubber boot, there is just a metal box. Oh! I forgot this is around my 8" furnace chimney/exhaust. The box is not a solid box (if it where, it likely would not leak).... it is bolted together. Then the seems are just caulked. Now.... I am having a hard time getting the metal box off. It is attached to the chimney pipe. Of course, I want to put the correct 8" pipe collar on it. But, if I cannot get that box off, I will have no choice but to goop it up again with lots of caulk! I was surprised that the way they did it before lasted 30+ years.
Hmmm...on another video I saw the Home Improvement guy said it was best to never put Nails on the outside of the collar at the bottom...that there is no need and it's better held with the others under the Shingles that way there is no way for the water to get in and you don't have to worry about the Nails at the bottom being a way for the water to get in to the house...he said to many people make that commons mistake...
thanks for sharing da sam! yes some people think that...this is the way i like to do it, as long as you seal them, you're good to go...i hope the video helped!
My vent pipe has a ‘J’ hook termination with a screened cap that is for keeping birds or squirrels from going in, the cap is a slightly larger diameter than the pipe which is going to distort the boot if I try to slip it over, any suggestions? Thanks.
Hey Robert great question. More than likely the J hook is just a trap or wall bend, typically they stick them on there but don’t glue them, if they are glued you can cut it off and then put it back on when you’re done replacing the pipe collars. I hope this helps
Yes you do, that's the problem I'm having right now, thought we had a plumbing leak but it was the roof vent because the collar rode up in the front. Awesome video!
During hard rain I got water in the basement from that pipe not the piece u replaced. Would it be ok to put an elbow on it to prevent water from coming in
Robbie Vogel hey Robbie! I know man this is somewhat puzzling but the vent is actually tied In to your drain system for your plumbing. Technically all the water coming in the pipe goes down the drain. Yes I’ve seen them with elbows on them. Trial and error man. Give it a shot. I’d love to know the outcome.
Hey DMV. It depends if it’s one story or two story and how steep it is. A minimum call would be around $200 and they may throw another pipe color in for an additional hundred. I hope this helps
You might be able to get to pipe collars for $300, it also has a lot to do with where you are, I’m sure California is more expensive than many other places for example
hey snake dog! been roofing a long time. if you use the correct material, the nail heads won't leak. hope you learned something! and thanks for watching!
I do roofing as well as alot of other carpentry. Always looking for tips tho. It's true you don't need flashing compound however I do use it. My question to you is this. Whenever I use the cheaper black plastic vents ( because thats what the homeowner wants), I usually run in to trouble with nailing the bottom. I was taught to use 3nails in the bottom. I find that when the weather heats up they tend to pucker where nailed. I stopped nailing the bottom and started just using roofing compound with no problems. Just want your opinion on this. Nails or no nails or is it just the quality of the vent?
i add a urethane sealant on the underside of the ones (pipe boots) i install and avoid nails...they "work" too much. gasketed sheet metal screws would be my choice .
Is there a similar collar for my electrical conduit running into swamp cooler from the roof? I wouldn't be able to put it over the top as you did the pipe, without unhooking the thing from the swamp cooler. There's a metal plate of sorts around it now that is coming up and pounding the uplifted nail doesn't keep it in place. I'm thinking to put something like this around it.
Sloppy job. The cut wasn't neat around the flange. When installing a pipe boot, the manufacturers ALWAYS insist that a flashing compound be used under the shingles to prevent water from penetrating up under and causing possible damage. If I were you, I would remake the video showing the right way to install the flange. I'm going to check your other videos and will comment if I see needed. I'm a retired building inspector just trying to help you and make life easier.
S. Michele flush collars.. hate em he should have driven nails halfway down, filled around nail, driven down fully then, cover nail head. but it's fine what he did
Nobody commented on the fact that he left a nail head exposed to the elements? You only nail where the shingle will lap and cover. I see'em like that all the time now, it's ridiculous. No exposed nail heads, ever, period, end of story. Everybody does it so badly now. Don't even get me started on the terrible excuses that pass for chimney flashing nowadays, it's disgraceful.
@@homemend I elected the rubber roof pipe collar because it was more flexible, I placed a lot of silicone under and on top of the new roof pipe collar.

Regardless, Home Mender Inc. strikes me as quite trustworthy, and would quote a fair price.
Awesome job! I need to replace mine. Where can I get one just like the one you have pictured in the video? I checked my local hardware store, but they only have the collar and I prefer to have the rubber surround at the base as well
Don't understand why just the boot can't be replaced. I examined the boot and flange at Home Depot and it seemed the boot could be removed . Even if you bought the whole assembly just for the boot it would seem the way to go?
hey old...they do have a "add on" boot. pretty sure that the rubber can't be removed from the pipe collar itself....We usually just change the whole thing.. i hope this helps
Joel Keen hey Joel! Lol not always so man. Sprinkler system? Water fountain mishap? Rubberband on the sink sprayer? Anything can happen! Thanks for commenting!
check out the "bullet boot" concept makes sense to me.... its a COMPLETELY NEW ROOF (over the pipe) none of this sealing to exterior of pipe... it fixes it where normal flashings fail....
Don't use those plastic ones. Squirrels and rats go through them. Use a properly sized metal collar for the pipe. One size does not fit all. There should only be 1/4" gap between the pipe and the metal.
I would go out for a beverage with Dustin, but wouldn't let him near my roof. Regardless what you do, do it professionally. Especially if you are going to present it on RUclips.
Now try that on a 10-15 year old roof. No way are the tabs just going to float up like that. I get trying to show people how to do things, but come on. How many collars have you seen fail before the tabs are stuck down?
Home Mender So, are you going to ignore the fact that you posted a video teaching people an IMPROPER installation method? Poor quality work all around.
I bet that new collar dont even have a life time for UV rays. All plastic is suppose to have information on that. or use to. I beat it cracks in 5 years
hey sling.. thanks for the comment! I've found typically its the rubber boot that tends to go and they appear to be made the same on the plastic and metal..this was one we had laying around. as long as it helps people I'm happy. thanks for watching!
Yes, when replacing a roof always strip the old shingles off before adding new ones. I've replaced shingles on houses before that had 4 layers of previous layered shingles. This will create major problems on an existing roof. Never reshingle a roof over top of existing shingles. Always strip the old ones off before putting new ones on. That way you can inspect the integrity of the roof itself, like the plywood etc.

I skimmed video and saw you nailed the bottom edge of the flange. read the manufacturer's instructions. Don't nail there. I watch no more.
way to go henry! successful skimming. Thanks for taking the time to address it..Thanks for watching!
Home Mender So, are you going to ignore the fact that you posted a video teaching people an IMPROPER installation method? Poor quality work all around.
I bet that new collar dont even have a life time for UV rays. All plastic is suppose to have information on that. or use to. I beat it cracks in 5 years
hey sling.. thanks for the comment! I've found typically its the rubber boot that tends to go and they appear to be made the same on the plastic and metal..this was one we had laying around. as long as it helps people I'm happy. thanks for watching!
Home Mender So why not pay extra and use neoprene, eliminating this issue?
Old flashing had nails through the base at the bottom of the slope. Don't do it like that.
thanks so much for commenting!
I have two layers of shingles so this isn't so easy. Any other options?
hi freedom.. not really, you can still replace the shingles however you will need to replace both layers so they dont lay funny. i hope this helps!
Yes, when replacing a roof always strip the old shingles off before adding new ones. I've replaced shingles on houses before that had 4 layers of previous layered shingles. This will create major problems on an existing roof. Never reshingle a roof over top of existing shingles. Always strip the old ones off before putting new ones on. That way you can inspect the integrity of the roof itself, like the plywood etc.
