We are primarily focused on residential masonry restoration and re-roofing. However, we also do new stone and brick retaining walls, concrete, light carpentry, painting, and gutter repair, cleaning, and replacements.
so this can be applied to shiplap tongue and groove type decking on an older house. the base will stick to that with no problem or should i nail felt first and then apply the base sheet.
Fantastic and Perfect instructions! I just bought Tri-Built SA Plybase and SA Cap and yall described to a Tee exactly how to apply it so that it will Last Long term! Thank you buddy! I would also like to give a shout out to Mike at Beacon roofing in Lexington Kentucky They were So Helpful!!
Definitely not something I could do for a living. Something about the sound of trowels scraping mud onto bricks makes all the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
I'm doing research myself getting ready to try and do this. From what I see they make their cuts first so its light enough to carry up. I want to know how they get the damn 100 lb roller up there if your on your own??
In Texas we see the certainteed class 4 products for free. I had 11 defect claims I turned in in 2023. 10 were certainteed class 4. All others we installed is 1 defect for 2023. Never have I had such a high number of defects. Now they only make excuses why theroofis fine. The ridge pieces have about 50% ofthembreakwhen bending over ridge just terrible. A year ago I had zero problems.
I have a roof in CT that looks flat to the eye and is a black 10 ft seams wide material covered with a layer of pea sized rocks. It is completely drained after a rain in about 2 hours, and completely dry after 4-6 hours. What peel and stick product will work on this? Most contractors that have looked at the roof have no clue. I want to strip it down, replace any bad plywood than use a peel and stick application only, (no fumes allowed). Any advice from anyone is much appreciated. Thanks
A lot of rules and bs with this product stop making it look so good because in real life is complete garbage! You definitely need a heat gun even if you are above 50-60 Fahrenheit. I work with this crap and is a disaster doing it by the manufacturer instructions. People get a heat gun and get Tpo a lot better than this nonsense! Easy money for who does it everyday but my advice for everyone is to stay away it’s complete garbage!
Thanks for the video. You took the time to encourage DIY guys like me with no previous experience decide that "I CAN DO THAT" . All the details and explanation. Excellent.
It might be good to return and take a picture, or a quick video update, several days later, and add it to this video, so that when the mortar is completely dried we can see what the actual finished product looks like. Brick can be a real PITA with efflorescence and with how colored mortar often cures darker than it's expected to. That mortar looks brown while the rest of the joints look white. Maybe it's just an issue with the camera and lighting...
You should always cut your first row of base sheet halfway in its width so you dont end up with a seam on seam when you start your cap sheet. I noticed in your other videos aswell you fail to do so. Very important step to not skip.
I have a main floor room bump out like that, where the roof area like what you were perched on is maybe 2 ft deep from gutter to wall (it's on a gable end, so there's no guttered roof above like in your example.) We have a room leak we think is coming from the 2nd floor window directly above the bump out, but haven't been able to confirm. Might be coming in from a rotted window sill. Anyway, the flashing setup on mine looks just like what you did there, except it's shingled and they silicone gooped the outside edge where the horizontal flashing goes over the shingle. I was told by someone (not a roofer) that's wrong, and that shingles must always go over flashing.
So I know this is an older video post and I found some GAF liberty top layer, but not sure what to use for the underlayment. Could you possibly tell me exactly what I'm looking for.
I would trowel on some roofing cement to secure to the gravel. In St. Louis, where I live, we use clay coping tiles over the roofing material on the parapets.
hi pls i need your advice i have an old tar and gravel low slope 2 1/2 roof i had lot of leaks this year what if i go with the GAF liberty product without ripping off the tar only clean up the gravel do you think it would work? and if it does how many ply should i go with base and cap sheet or only cap?
