This is the best roof repair video I've seen. Nothing is worst that seeing rain water drip into your new house or business because the roofer botched the roof install. This guy knows how to fix the mistakes permenantly! Keep up the good work!

Thank you for helping me fix my incorrectly installed metal roof on my mobile home. It's been leaking ever since I bought it and cannot afford 20,000.00 to replace it. After watching your easy videos I have fixed most of them myself with a fraction of the cost. I really appreciate your knowledge.

Great video identifying the leaks by looking for traces of rust or dirt stains. Turbo polyseal spreads well and goes quite a bit, no need to lugging around a gallon tin ;)

you right, but I used a lot of Turbo that day on the rest of the roof. The video only shows a small part

@patrickobrien8851 Год назад

What about using integrated - "long life" - screws, where the head of the screw is one piece with the "washer" that acts as an umbrella to cover the neoprene washer underneath: is there an advantage to these integrated screws? The disadvantage is the cost, as they appear to cost more than the standard roofing screw. I'd be interested to hear your recommendation. Great video content, as usual.

Bigger than the one you pulled out generally if you pull out a 1/4 screw put a 5/16 back because it will bite

Do you think a standing seam metal roof is worth the cost? Also if I'm 1.2 miles from the ocean, do I need to use aluminum material if I install metal?

@proskimconstruction4720 Месяц назад

I would've replaced the roofsheet at once and use 26mm bond washers on the hex screws, I also never use pap en lap membrane. I would have used uni-flash to seal all of those areas if not replaced the roofsheet.

@kokopelli314 7 месяцев назад

Some of those sheets are on backwards. You can tell by the way they're not sealing up along the edges. Also they put a lot of screws in the wrong places. The Turbo polyseal and fleece is new to me.

@paulf2529 2 года назад

I wish you would make a tidier job of painting the turbo seal, straight lines not untidy splodges. You may well be fixing the leaks but the fixes look untidy. For your screw head repairs a template of cardboard would enable all your repairs to be neat and regularly sized.

1. You NEVER cover a hex headed screw with fabric, this creates bridging (an air pocket and/or fish mouths) around the fastener...You must cut the cloth at the fastener for proper waterproofing! 2. You always remove old caulking and tar...NEVER cover AND ALWAYS clean the surface area! 3. Is Turbo Poly Seal a Rust Inhibitor? 4. Always a bigger diameter screw, BINGO CORRECT! 5. FOLKS, always clean the surface area a minimum of 6" beyond the repairing area. 6. The aluminum coating will crack with in 3-5 years!

When making instructional videos best to assume audience knows very little. Explain to them like they are 5 years old. You start by saying don’t coat your roof. Coat with what? Presumably tar but you don’t say that. How about you come and fix my roof and I’ll teach you how to communicate properly
