    I install shingles, fascia, soffits, siding, plus more. Your videos are extremely helpful man. Especially for the fact that you're not only teaching viewers, but you're also showing us how to do it ourselves. I commend you for that bro. One of us on the job at some point or another has had to wait on help so they could get things to line up or whatever the case is. No more waiting

    Got an estimate to do siding and was close to the $20000 range . Pretty handy guy and always looking to try something new , and as you said in video “ save a few bucks “! My only worries was the soffit work which I learned would have to do 1st . Your video blew my mind how easy you made it look and more importantly the confidence to take it on myself . You literally answered every question I had trying to figure out how it’s done .Will hold off on siding till weather warms up but will def jump on the soffit work Thanks for the awesome video , keep them coming . Will give update !

    I never ever watch an entire video to learn most things because most of the time the person making the video doesn’t explain things very well. This video was great. I love how you explained why things are done a certain way. Also I love how you say you don’t have a helper because you like to save money and that is the exact reason we are watching your videos to save money. Materials cost me a little under $100 to put in soffit that a company wanted to charge me close to $5k for.

    Great video. Thank you. I’m installing new soffits and fascia soon.
    My only suggestion is install the fascia before roofing. Then if you have ice guard you can wrap the ice guard over the top of the fascia. When gutters are installed they will seal against the ice guard.
    This does a great job sealing the area between the roof and the gutter that is otherwise not protected.

    Good video for beginners. Who ever put the roof on was lost on the drip edge it’s lapped wrong direction. If you will make a 45 degree cut when you made the angle notch let it over lap the straight cut at the corner it will look like it’s cut on 45 degree angle. Makes it look much more professional.

    The problem with installing the bath vent in the soffit, is the moisture is going to go right back thru your vented soffit into your attic space which is a no, no. If you do put the bath vent in the soffit, you need to run unvented soffit for a distance of 6' in both directions before you start back with vented soffit.

    Thank you very much for sharing this video. I have a project at our church to replace the facial on the building. I wasn’t sure how to do the bird nest. Your video explains very nicely.

    I love your videos.
    But coming from Australia where all our houses are brick and mortar with either metal or concrete tile roofing.
    It really looks like you guys just plastic wrap chipboard boxes.
    Awesome tips though! Great tradie, keep em coming

    • @TheExcellentLaborer
      @TheExcellentLaborer  3 года назад +2

      Sounds like you do it very well in Australia too. Nothing stronger than brick and mortar. Yes the plastic does have its purposes. I will be sure to keep the videos coming your way. Thanks for watching!

    I watch a lot of his videos. He is a type of person Im wpould love do on jobs for him for free if he taught. You really do a great job and teaching. I believe one thing that needs to be taught is when you see a house how to you find the angle degrees for you to cut the boards how do you find out the degree to cut you teach us the speed square very very helpful we need to learn the degree to cut them

    This is a EXACTLY what I'll need in about wk or so... This rehab house has many missing soffit & fascia cover or whatever --- and most of the gutters are either missing or detached... So this will be a project that'll get added for when I get ready to work on my roof. 🤦🏻‍♀️
    (I'm a single mom of 2 with very very limited $ so it was either DIY rehab home or live out of my tiny subaru 😂😂)
    This was SUPER helpful. #ThankYou ❤
    You've certainly earned my sub.. 💯

    Wow... I'm so glad I found you by accident... Great info for a DIY like me... Bought a fixer and literally every onion layer I have peeled back has been done wrong/ failed... I'm constantly having new projects yearly... I do have to do all these repairs soon... 🐝, Bird, wind and you name it showing me how messed up the outside was done also...
    We are in a different time now...
    Now is the time for the DIY person...
    People are lazy, half a**, no morals ect... But they think they have a right to charge what a million $ corporate that warrants their work and are real craftsmanship... Yet they not only have poor quality but ruin your house... It's a mess out here in Knoxville...
    I get a kick out of my neighbors happy to see a ole lady out here doing it herself...❤️
    Thank you..
    Thank you for the great videos...

      If my ground cutters +/- a 1/4, I buy.

      If a cuts spot on... the homeowner buys.
