Thank you on my way to do a torch down roof rn
Ilike the wire brush idea I always use my knife to scrape granules
whatever works for you its fine , the result is what really matters
You’re famous
This weekend I will be applying a 4-in dryer duct flashing that is 18 in square and 12 in tall. From what I've read and understand on this tar and gravel roof the gravel must be pushed aside and in this case it's not much just about a quarter of an inch granite pea gravel. The tar must be primed, tar or rubber underlayment should be laid and melted in with a torch, a substrate over the top, more underlayment torched in, the flashing wire brushed and rubber primed, screwed or nailed down, top coat torched over the top. Finally sleeve the 4 in dryer duct through. I'm not sure what products are best, you have henry, gaff, Lano, never done this one before, trial by fire.
LOL, I wish I could give you 10 thumbs up! This helped me.
Awesome way to explain the yes and not of the repair/patch! Even better was the way you kept it simple and also showed more than one kind of repair/patch in one video!!
Most of the videos I have seen don't even answer the question for me let alone give me extra knowledge..
Keep up the great work and teaching others like me.
Salud and here's to hoping you find that fame soon!
Don't say bad things about roofers. they are more close to heaven than any other worker.
Why do you have to put tar under and ontop of metal on torch down flat roof but not a shingle roof??
i don't put tar under , only if i don't use a skirt of smooth torch around , then I use tar, and use tar when I join one piece of metal to another one .
@@Garciasroofing so In this vid did you degranulate under the metal? Or just around it? And you just used spray primer ontop but would you ever use tar or spray and tar
El famoso!!! Thanks for posting this.
Our pleasure!
Thanks for the video. We had a big rain storm in our new (to us) house and got a small leak in the bathroom. I go up on the roof and the bathroom vent looked just like that, a plain metal flashing on existing roof with some screws and the tiniest amount of sealant (which had cracked) around the edges. We have a low slope roof and it's no wonder it leaked...
I work around a few hacks and they laugh at me when i do it your way which equals the right way. I try to tell them not to nail high on the shingles, don't put nails in the seams, don't over sink nails, and a bunch of other simple things they can't understand. Please keep making these videos because you are one of the ones who cares and knows what he is doing.
MrBigtime1986 couldn't have said it better myself man!
Keep making videos man! Very helpful
Thanks, will do!
Is that paint or a paste
Was it a short video ?
Hey can I repipe through the flat roof running pex down through 2" ABS ?
Round the corners of the metal. Remove. Dirt. Around the the pipe to be sealed. Seal base of the pipe with rubberized plastic cement. If using a torch inbed all granuals around the patch leave about an inch from the edge of the patch. Prime both sides of the metal base. Heat up the roof where the you are putting the roof Jack stick the metal roof jack in the sticky area. Nail it screw it in. Cut a piece of torch on base leaving 2 inch from the inner circle and a minimum 4 inches passed the metal base all around. Torch it on. Repeat with cap torch on but leaving 1 inch from the inner circle. And extending out 6-8inch from the metal base. Torch it on get a nice bleed out 1/4 inch all around and inner circle. Ms detail or use rubber cement the inner circle lap inbed lose granuals in the ms detail or rubberized plastic cement. If you in a clod area insulate the inner roof jack to prevent. Condensation. If the roof jack has a rubber seal. Caulk it with approved sealant. To prevent rubber seal from leaking. A patch done probably should last 25years.
nice !
Eric just found your channel and find it interesting. Don't listen to the haters and just keep doing what you do. Thanks for taking the time to post the vids.
Your irritation is informative -- good to know what stupid things people do, and great to see how much you care about these things being done right. Thanks for the video!
how do you install a skylight on an existing torchdown flat roof
how ? with torch down , use the same materials and go up the curb with the new membrane and 8 inches on the existing roof .
another great video Eric..... Thanks a million.....
We always round our corners on 160 and 180 and the same with epdm or tpo
Neil Reynolds ...never seen round corners on commercial applications on hot mop, torch down or cold applications.
I do single ply systems but i dont round corners, on my T joints we heat weld a round piece of T joint patch make by the same manufacturer .
but if your system works for you, good system!
greetings.
Eric
I don't round my corners on single ply either and or hot build up but on our mod bit we always round our corners
I never met any profession that does NOT knock some one else’s work.
The guy that built that sentence should have connected the "some" to the "one". That's the way I would have done it.
I have a corner in my flat roof where the roofers installed torch down but they made a little lip with the new flashing , now I get a puddle that’s holding almost 1/2” of water about 6’ around . How can I fix?
apply leveling concrete then paint it with roof coating
“I’m a scientist!”🤣
good LOL
Hi there! I love your work. Would you be able to make a video about roofing around an a/c unit with comp shingles
Vero B ...i haven't come accross a AC unit for a long time, but as soon as i have the chance to record one i will, thanks.
Eric
Hello Eric Garcia I would like to repair a flat leaking roof on my own. I want to know if you could lead me in the right direction as to what I should know before going about doing that. Maybe you could share a link I'm all ears to anyone here in the comments as well. Thank you
Hey Eric how do u fix a big area on a flat roof that has peel and stick I had to replace termite damage shiplap 1x8 and had to cut the flat roof two feet from edge the area is 2ft x16ft
Benny Brito ...use the same product but make sure you overlap to match the old seam, use asphalt primer and final, overlap at least 1 foot on the sides of the old roof. Good luck.
yep your right they are definitely not roofers
Neste vídeo eu quero enviar uma saudação para todos os telespectadores brasileiros que seguem meus vídeos, obrigado por assistir, eu realmente aprecio isso! Espero que todos nós podemos fazer melhores sistemas de telhado, mais uma vez, obrigado. Eric. G
How can I get a hold of u so u can do the work. I want it done right
What type of peel and seal did you use?
This guy isn't a commercial roofer, that jack belongs on a shingle roof not a built up. You need a lead boot turned down into the top of the pipe.
How long does that white cement last.? Water based?
I have been in the roofing industry for over thirty five years, this video is totally incorrect. Residential flashing on vent pipes where a pitch pocket should be installed. The modified "patch" is totally wrong. Please look at how to install a pitch pocket. learn to float the granules when doing any repair. This "repair" will not last and I hope it is fixed properly. take this video down
5 yrs later , it hasn't leak , how much longer to leak?
Hey Eric, do you have to put base flashing around the metal units? Or can it be primer and then torch? Thanks a lot like your videos
Ain't you supposed to put smooth down first then the white cap 1 ply no good
Neil Reynolds ...Lol
“If they’re roofers, I’m an astronaut”
lol
i have been installing commercial roofing systems for 30 plus years. tpo, epdm, 4 ply, and modified bitumen systems. i have installed these systems mechanically fastened, fully adhered and ballasted most of which are designed and inspected by architects. If one of my roofers was to torch in a curb and fold the corners over as you did they would be kicking their lunch can down the road. Just being water tight doesn't cut it for me, it has to look professional after completed. it's easy to fool someone who has no idea how to properly install a modified roofing system but you should realize that your going to have professionals watching your video as well. Just a tip, next time degranulate the proper way with a trowel and torch not a wire brush and there will be no need to prime the cap sheet.
Well roofer , you should know that hot mop system are not compatible with heat weld systems or self adhere as well.
they only system that works with hot mop , is hot mop , cold apps and emulsion , all those are the only systems that work with hot mop.
About degranulating the ...HOT MOP ??? the only time I heard degranulating was when I was taking my torch down class , when I was a union worker.
I did thousands ...1,000.'S of squares of hot mop and we never degranulated , but I respect your knowledge .
we did , hot mop, cold app, foam applications, single ply ( TPO, PVC), hot mop with rock system, etc.... you name it .ALL GOVERNMENT JOBS, not residential , stricty commercial jobs.
they only time when you degranulate is when adhering a piece of torch to another piece of torch , you apply heat and then with your trowel , degranulate.
Or maybe in your state they degranulate , but it doesn't make any difference if you do it or not ,it's a hot mop system and it's just required to be completely clean and a layer of asphalt primer will do the work.
I'm thinking ...you want things your way ...that's not team work fellow roofer.
greetings.
Eric.
P.S.. Architects are the ones that design structures , but they are not roofers , don't listen to them.
Engineers : are the ones that take the drawing from the architects and do the calculations on the weights for the structures and approve the design.
I have many friends that are designers, architects and engineers , they all have to listen to the roofer ...not the roofer has to listen to them ...learn your trade roofer , show your experience when you have to !
have a nice day.
Roofing Solutions By Eric Garcia you call yourself a pro really? You dont know how to strip a curb omg everthing on that curb is wrong have a nice day mr pro lol am sure a real pro will laugh when they watch your video. I have been doing comercial roofing for 7 years i can tell you that your are not close to be a pro lol
higgy one Hmmm,I too have been a journeyman roofer/Waterproofers for over 30 years ,I've gotten 12 Tremco projects with perfect 10's and won a jacket ,I've installed prolly a million squares of hot mopped or cold sprayed built up roofs ,I've installed EPDM roofs way back when you washed the seams with gasoline and Goodyear made the " PE rail " roofs & Firestone used wood Nailers at the wall , you can go to " Royal Roofing Orion Michigan " and see my multi thousand square " inspected " projects by clicking on Built up Roofs ,Green Roofs and Single Ply , I've done every premium cap sheet system there is like Siplast with Chrome Veral flashing ,I installed the only residential building in N America with a 3 ply Siplast modified base sheet with a total Chrome Veral roofing system on an 8/12 pitch & had Siplast give me an award ,I've attended all the " Master " installer programs from Firestone ,GAF ,Garland ,Tremco ,Koppers ,Trocal ,etc etc etc so I've been where you say you've been ,which means you & I both know that none of these roofers methods will leak ,you talk about " Degranulating " instead of priming but you don't mention every manufacturer prefers priming over burning the granules and degrading the skim sheets in the material ,every inspector prefers a primed lap over a scorched and Degranulating substrate ,your just being pissy because they didn't make the little corner football patches and chose to fold & wrap corners ,which was industry standard for decades ,let's see some pics of your work so we can compare ,I've posted where pics of my work can be seen so let's see yours ,there's nothing being done here that isn't 100% textbook .
@Roofing Solutions By Eric Garcia Do you do any work in the San Fernando Valley ? I own several rental properties that are gonna need re roofing . If interested in work please respond with your business information . Thanks Eric for posting these videos you really are an honest professional .

thanks for watching.

Eric is self adhered compatible with hot tar?
macyike ...yeah but ,try using asphal primer under the membrne to make sure it will stay there for a long time, try to clean the area as much as possible also.
greetings ,thanks for watching.
Eric.
Control your ego be humble if you want to teach you just like everybody else very kaki because they think they know it all but if they do is not the end of the world everybody is replaceable no body is the last apples in the desert.
True , i'm just trying to save you some bucks on your next roof repair.
HACK city!! Your install practices need a lot of upgrading!!
Working on it!
👌
+Higgy one you lied about having 30 years experience ,I just checked your homepage here and saw you subscribed to Taylor Swift and Keisha ,I've never seen a 50 year old man getting down to Keisha disco music for kids .
You guys forget about what you post in other threads and don't think anybody will check ,at best your still in apprentiship school just now learning about torch down roofs and that's why your here posting nonsense about " Degranulating " which is a pratice less than 10 yrs old you just learned in school ,stop bashing skilled tradesmen who are doing good work so you can be relevant .
Michael Ledford ...Lol
You don't hope to be famous you should know that you are
Hello Eric, I would love to get a quote from you on my roof! Can you please give me your contact information?
i hope people really dont use these improper lessons that you show here eric, total BS!
Greg Maness ...i would love to see the way you do it, uplaod a video and share your knowledge then ,"master roofer".
you are smart enough to upload videos, then learn to repair mod bit roof systems correctly! not with elastomeric paint or peel and stick!
Greg Maness ...I think you're missing the point of this video sir, I uploaded this video to show the viewers that, a build up roofing system can be repaired with self adhere membranes also, do you really think i don't know what I'm doing? it's a build up roofing system sir,( base sheet, 2 layers of ply and cap sheet) all hot mopped.
Now according to the books, a buid up roofing system can be repaired with : hot mop, torch down, self adhere membranes, asphalt emulsion along with polyester, roof coating, cold applications membranes can be applied also.
i spent 7 years busting my ass,under the heat installing 150 squares of 2 ply hot mopped and 200 squares of cap sheet , all done in 1 single day sir.
it's sad to come accross roofers like yourself that think they know,it all, i respect your knowledge and you should respect mine, I'm a Union roofer also i roofed Flat roofs with hot mop, single ply, gravel, cold apps, torch down, foam applications, etc...you name it.I have a school.
have a nice day roofer.
Eric Garcia.
i wish you the best of luck, you are obviously not in my region, nobody knows it all and certainly not me!
