HOW TO INSTALL A METAL ROOF BOOT 

Glad I saw this. I live in Costa Rica and the majority of homes here have no vent pipes. Creates a problem with clogs in the closed system. I could only imagine that they didn’t know how to flash the pipe on corrugated metal roof. The houses that do have a pipe through the roof they use some type of roofing cement that cracks soon after application when the roof heats and expands. Thanks for the awesome video

My contractor should have seen this video, before he tared and feathered the one on my house. Good job.

Wow.. clean as it can be. Great job Mr. HOMES!

Nice clean job - I have to do this in the next few days, so this has been really helpful, thanks :)

Nicely done! Talent. Gretch

Right on chief best video out there on this very topic. U the man !! Peace out roofer

Screwing down the boot is so simple and easy but at the same time it will block the metal panels from expansion and contraction causing warping when the weather is hot.

Excellent.

nice clean job..

lovely job

Thank you.

You know he is a real man and a pro when he doesn't use gloves.

Thanks! Very helpful.

You can also caulk the boot to the pipe and then use a stainless strap to squeeze the boot to the pipe.

That was good information. As an electrician, I was helping someone and their service was getting a mast pipe that had to go through the soffit overhang portion but was not sure how we could seal up correctly. I all my years, this was the first service with the mast going through a metal roof so I was not sure. Thank you.

Very wise, putting the routine install screws on top of the ridges instead in the valleys, makes it 1,000x less likely to leak since only a direct hit from a raindrop could even have a chance of leaking at a screw head (who would put a screw in the bottom of a valley when its actually better to put it on top as said ALSO the screws on top where the panels overlap hold the "seams" together much much better so wind can't grab the metal as easily; just use 3/4" longer screws than the norm they try to foist on you. Nice video, thanks. ! Q> is there any adhesive that can simple glue down the lower lip of the vent "boot" ; i like less screws in the roof to minimize future leakage.

Another amazing video, but how is a bathroom vent installed. I can only find square vents and no good installation videos out there.

Thank You

Could you tell me the best way to fit regular corrugated metal roofing panel around a power pole? I know how to measure the hole, but not sure how to get the hole around the pole. The only two things I can come up with is cut the hole for the pole and then cut a horizontal line over to the hole where I could offset the metal enough to slide it over to the pole, or cut the metal panel in half and cut a half circle in each and fit the lower one under the upper one before putting the boot on. Thanks for your help!

Is that rubber boot work with gas furnish exhauust pipe. Thanks

6:15 I thought he was going to slide down the slope.

hey bud they make long bill offset snips. save you from getting hands cut

Question: I need to replace my boot. Will I be okay to unscrew it and use the existing sheet of metal roof? I'm concerned if I remove the existing boot and replace it that it will leak due to existing holes from the previous boot.

Your carrying an impact drill at all times Just buy a 1/4 in shank step bit drill a 3/4 in whole in the metal and use your metal shears instead of the chisel

Many thanks, what sort of caulking did you use?

Asi no se imstala una paipa se cortar el panel y se pone la paipa y se pone otro panel ensima de la paipa

What was the brand of boot?

I used dish soap keeps you finger clean

Woodglut is nice for that.

Pretty sure you’re not supposed to put a boot over a seam.

thank you very helpful!
