Ok everybody is paying way too much attention to the shit that ain't your business lol Nobodys bank account was harmed in the making of this video. The osb?That was an addition. The rest of the house was not very good my fault for not showing more of that. I was not the determining factor on this resheet. Here's what happened. The house was being sold. The inspector said the roof needs redone and there's an issue with potential mold on the underside of the decking in numerous spots. The call I got was to replace all decking and shingles. All I got was an email with a picture of the moldy undersides and was told they already have a bid for a whole resheet and to bid on that. They already had it worked out. Between the buyer and seller they had a deal with payment and how much negotiation room there was. I was not part of any of this. I questioned it at first but the roof was spongy everywhere I walked so I gave them my quote and they chose to go with me. This video Is simply to show you guys an efficient way to perform this task. This video is not for the justice warriors, its for the performers. Thank you for watching! If you learned something feel free to hit the like button and subscribe. We're going to have a crazy year in 2020!
Thanks for the awesome tips. My crew left me in bind and I got to do it myself. These tips will save me great time and effort! Thanks for helping an old retired fireman!
I have done this method of sheeting removal when I was in roofing industry...I heard you yell about the gutters getting hit and what we would do is turn a sheet over shingle side down and hammer over nails then over hang it a little past gutters to protect them...worked really well
First few minutes of the video where you explain the integrity of shingles decreasing due to improper ventilation is something I would love to see more of. Things to take note of about the construction of the roofs and things that can affect your job laying shingles in ways like the venting aging it quicker.
I got a feeling this roofer walked on that roof and started springing because of the 24-inch centers and thought the plywood was shot that plywood looked fine to me
@@NWIVeteranConstruction you know as I was writing that I'm saying what do I really know from so far away and threw a camera I really couldn't tell how bad that wood was but I'm glad to see that you are an honest man and sorry for jumping to conclusions
@@NWIVeteranConstruction a lot of time when an attic is suffering from lack of ventilation it dry rots the plywood and you can't tell by just looking at it
Hey @Worlds Fastest Shingler. There's alot of haters in these comments but I'm a guy that has actually been roofing with my Dad who owns his own roofing company for years and you and those boys do good. They aren't the fastest or best but they aren't all professional roofers either. BUT you keep em whipped into shape. Keep up the good work.
I'm not a full time roofer, but I learned last year a good time to do ventilation is with a deck tear off. Add new bird blocks and correct any baffling with roof vents. More air in more air out. :)
I watch you a lot and i like the work you do... with that being said, i roofed for 22+ years and that was a very unnecessary amount of time wasted cutting holes in your ice shield for those pipes. Lay it over them, cut an inside X, slide it down and cut off the excess. 30 seconds vs the 5 minutes of hammering it. Thats all i have for critiquing this video. Keep up the good work!
I just watch too. And I like him. And he makes me laugh. And he is interesting. And handsome. I'm choosing him for my daughter. Too young for me. Haters aren't very nice on here. I just need to fix some problems with my roof. I truly enjoy learning what I can so i don't get a bad roof again and how to prevent my roof from over heating. My roof looks a lot like this one. I too thought it was fine! It wasn't. It Isn't. And it's aprox. Same age as this one as well. Keep up the good work!
Thanks! This technique is exactly what I was looking for . I was going to just run a circular or sawsall down the rafters to cut it out in sections. We are converting the roof of our shed to translucent corrugated roof for light. Was trying to figure out how to get the old shingled roof off without killing myself. Thanks
The way you cut ice shield around the pipes turns out good but you can save alot of time laying it on like you did than cut around the inside diameter and pull it down. Even stretches it a bit and seals great
I’ve been using the ice and water trick for vent pipes & things for years. If you want and easy way to get the sticker stain of use 4D-40. love doing tear offs like that I see you have not broken the newborns in on from doing pivots off the toe or ball of their feet tearing up new shingles. Love the channel keep up the awesome quality.
Might suggest to you screwing a temporary small sheet to stand on when you work your way down tearing off plywood. Had a a guy go through a drywall ceiling. Wish I had taken the extra few minutes.
At the end of the day your name is the one on the contract, you'll be the one they call if they get a leak.. . Its the rare employee that cares as much about your business as you do.... Your business is only as good as your worst employee. I'm glad that you take the time to teach your guys how to roof... now if you could only get them to follow your work ethic.
On your pipes another great fast trick lay it on top like you did but cut a small circle out then x cut the edges and slide it down. Then you have a small collar you press against the pipe and the boot covers it. Your tore that roof off like a boss. Great technique. You’re a fantastic roofer and very cool boss. Great videos.
Bro let a pro give you a lesson in professionalism and customer satisfaction.....lesson 1. If you make it all about the money you'll fail in the end. Lesson 2. I learned this from three old school brothers...when I do a roof I start a the ridge and remove the caps and shingles one at a time....pull the nails and neatly stack the old shingles....not a nail or shingle hit the ground....nails go in a bucket, shingles get sent down the laddervator and neatly stacked in my dump trailer.....after tearing off 10 or 12 rows, sometimes more sometimes less, fix plywood if needed and felt, I shingle what's been tore up and cap it....usually 3 or 4 rows at a time.....rarely do I have to walk on the new shingles , because you know that when they're not they scuff easily.....I never have any scuffed shingles....doing it this way I don't need a ground guy cleaning up shingles nor do I ever scuff the gutter or side of the house tossing shingles off of the roof or have any nails in the homeowners yard.....even with tarps there still seems to be a mess in the yard..... I measure the shingles reveal and calculate where to chalk my lines to start from the top down....I never worry about rain either.....all I have to do is roll out a row or maybe 2 and I'm dried in.....never had a problem....in the end it may take a little extra time but let me tell you this, people love that there's no mess at all and appreciate it beyond belief that I care enough not to scuff up their hot shingles by walking all over them....I have homeowners who wait 3 months or longer at times for me to get to their roof....I have a list at all times of 20 jobs to do....and I've never had anyone call another contractor because they didn't want to wait on me and my crew....or has anyone hired a cheaper contractor....I charge top dollar and give top dollar results.... that's a formula that people don't mind paying a little extra to get.....
You're a good guy with heart and drive. You can teach just about anything to your help, except that. Now with all that said, you actually put OSB back down again???
I'm not one to knock on other contractors work... I just show up and start working/fixing. BUT theres times when you gotta sit back and admire their lack of craftsmanship.
That's a great way to tear shearing off...but your not reinventing the wheel...of all the trades..the roofers are the braggingest of all..most roofers are insecure..lots of druggies and alcoholics who lost their drivers license and live in their mothers basement...but roofing is tough work..and not everyone can or want to do it...not all roofers are bad ......are you that world's fastest roofer???
Yea n also a few of them would rather try to take credit and say that's how they would've done it if I wasn't around. Rolls eyes heavily. I'm working on it tho. For some reason the 2 that are older than me just can't give it up that I really really know my job well
Worlds Fastest Shingler I am a general contractor out in California, I am 36 but look like I am 25 :) haha I have always had problems with guys that are older than me, they really have a hard time grasping the idea that I am younger but been in the trades since I was 15. I try to understand there point of view, but if you are going to try and battle me every step of the way, and you know so much more than me. Then go start your own company. To be honest, from my personal experience. Employees are the hardest but most interesting side of any business. Best of luck out there!
zorroon milkavitch yup with a water proof coating applied to it. And it doesn’t work as designed unless you follow the manufacturers guidelines. Tape every seen liquid flash every nail hole.
I did not see a single Plywood sheet that needed to be pulled. And they all looked factory fresh seeing the bottom as they were pulled. Mayhap they need better nailing, but it didn’t seem they needed to be removed/replaced.
I’m so glad you noticed this! I watched his first video and instantly knew he was a self promoting douchebag. He treats his guys like shit while thinking he’s some kind of GOD. He’s a half ass roofer at best and a douche to work for. I never had to say these guys worked for me I always let them know even though I own the business that we work together for other people.
Your the reason your business in growing both on youtube and real life bro. You can never leave the job and trust anyone. Can’t wait to see what’s next👍 fire someone off the roof!! 😂
Everyone in mass Cape cod northeast style remodeling framing roofing construction knows that trick using the 2by to pop those sheets sometimes it's way to steep to just stand there like that though good for shallow pitches for sure good job 👍👍👍👍definitely
You should just screw a piece of 2x 8 foot piece plywood over the edge of the roof to protect the gutter. Gives the guys a little edge to get their foot against when throwing over as well.
@@handymaninside I can see dings in the gutter from you guys already. Putting in 6 screws would take too much time? Far less time then what they guys are taking to avoid damaging it now and to repair it. Don't be silly!
Dave Brittain if you know so much 🤓, go out there and make it happen, and find out in person that your backseat driving is a joke... Or prove us all wrong and add the boards to your estimates and spend the time cutting them down with a saw that most subordinates aren’t trained to use proficiently... I’m sure your client will appreciate the extra costs, when all you had to do is tell the crew to be careful asf prior to going up and doing the work. 🤓 we might work by the sweat of our brow, but at least one person has to know shit to make things happen. I know all the shit in building homes, and all the codes... which is more than one could even expect from these trade specific contractors.
@@handymaninside I have been a contractor doing renovations and new builds for almost 30 years. I know the codes too. If buying and cutting a sheet of ply into a piece 2'x8' of ply is going to break the bank then maybe you are in the wrong business. I wonder how stupid are the people you hire? All my guys can use any saws that I have. What cost is a piece of ply instead of replacing a length of trough? I know MY client would never have a dinged up trough when I was done the job. If it was your house would you be happy seeing a damaged trough when they were done your roof?
Beat ya to it....been doing this for a while also a good Technique for other types of tear off if you have old Delta rib metal like I just had on this pole barn on Perlins you can take a 4 x 4 long ways preferably a 4 x 4 as long as the roof is and you can go right down it and pop all the nails if it’s been nailed down with ring shank washers nails just got to start with a pry bar for the first edge then go to down I was popping off 28 foot 36in panels with a 8 foot 2x4 at about 1 min a panel and the old panel could be reused as it caused no damage to the panels ( people love that rustic metal look lol)
Lol the haters, hating on what was already said as "the new guys", new guys always wanna be "on the site", standing around bullshiting with the boys, that's the stereotype that these new kats always wanna portray. It gets old, the novelty is dead. The video was about the method, not the speed or integrity of the workers, I'm loving the method. forever, roofers have been missing the common sense, which was displayed here by the method... dope video, I'm going to remember it.
No sir coz once you get one sheet on its smooth sailing from there and I stood on the rafter when I tore off but my guys were standing in the attic on the plywood across the ceiling joyce
Next time you’re flashing a pipe with ice and water leave the plastic on the back cut it fit it after it’s cut pull your plastic off and put it in place a whole lot easier than trying to cut it and fit it while it’s trying to stick to everything
Great idea but I’d be a whole lot faster to put the ice on top of the pipe and cut it with a knife but cut around the inside diameter of the pipe and a slide over the top perfectly just like you did but faster and you’re not hammering a pipe that might be loose and he could possibly damage the inside plumbing
The people complaining about safety are the same people who hire the people who sit outside home Depot... if you want safety hire union guys and pay triple
Right!?!? Can’t stand reading all the comments from these f**cking wimps like “omg they aren’t wearing boots or gloves or jeans or hard hats or bubble wrap suits...” blah blah blah. Drives me nuts
Bull crap, I'm neither. I worked in high winds, ice and high pitched roofs as a farmer. I didn't wear hard hard hats but turning your back 1 foot or so to the edge of the roof is stupid. Some things I was fine with others I wasn't. Not everyone has to agree to his opinion of work, or mine. SMH just insult others SMH
17:02 The fascia board is offset to lay the plywood on and flush to the fascia. They do so by setting the fascia on the same slope with the hypotenuse of a a speed square or if you’ve been doing it for years the bottom of the nail rail on your framing nail gun as a straight edge to transfer that slope and east the fascia
gloves, a 30 inch reach hook, a shingle/vinyl knife, stand offs for the ladder, safety lines, lay down temporarily 1 row of sheeting, to stabilize the rafters and to stand on
Now who will get in the attic to finish installing baffles, since you didn’t while the roof was off... good way to guarantee yourself a re sheath next year i guess
@@renegadezen7841 Walls and roofs are covered in 4x8, (4 feet by 8 feet) sheets of 3/8 inch thick plywood, each sheet is tightly nailed into wall studs and ceiling truss, each sheet shares a stud or truss with about 3/4 of an inch of room to nail so it's a tight nailing pattern. Anyways, when you miss you'll see daylight and most guys will call "shinner" A trained ear can really hear the nail missing the stud, if you're an apprentice and they have you nailing walls and roofs which is young guy work you almost have to depend on the framers to really do well building the walls, same with the truss setters, they have to depend on the framers, sometimes you'll only have a 1/4 inch to nail in. If you're just learning I wouldnt get into any trades unless you really love doing it, carpentry is fun but it;s different levels, rough housing isnt fun either is concrete forms, you really got to learn the formulas and tricks early on and most guys in construction are assholes with addictions, they got to drink every night and smoke several times per/day and they dont like you not knowing anything because youre not making their day any easier.
@@delljr2769 thanks for the explanation! When I say learning i mean learning about roofing in general because i am about to be buying a whole new roof for a rental property i just bought where the roof is trash. Now i am going down the roofing youtube rabbit hole.
@@renegadezen7841 A shiner is when a roofing nail shows after you set the next shingle above it. It's a guaranteed roof leak. They're bright galvanized nails, and the nail head shines in sunlight. I've NEVER heard of a missed nail in decking or sheathing called a shiner, and definitely never heard of it causing a problem. There are different thicnkesses and types of decking too - it's not all 3/8 ply - matter of fact, I doubt there are any 3/8 ply roofing applications anymore - wider roof framing spacing = thicker ply. Thinnest you really see anymore is 7/16. The talk about most construction guys being assholes with addictions ... yeah, there's a lot of that. A WHOLE lot of that.Then there are immigrant crews - and while they don't work for 10c / hour like some guys would have you believe - they work VERY hard in brutal conditions. I 100% agree with the part about construction being full of huge gigantic assholes with addictions and inflated egos that'll never let you get ahead because somehow they feel like you're going to take "their work" as if theres not enough to go around. Those guys are a big part of why I don't work in construction anymore.
@@notsure7874 exactly what I was thinking,LOL he even spelled it shinner so I was wondering how missing a couple nails on the sheathing would cause it to leak.
I have nothing but mad respect for you the work you guy's do is without a doubt the best I have seen . I don't want to make you mad but taking the Lord's name in vain is blasphemous the Lord loves you and died for you. The reason I tell you this is because I love you my brother God bless you...
No wonder there was mould, every second rafter space was blocked with insulation, blocking air flow from the soffits. It was a good opportunity to fix it. But just sheet over it again.
You only need 1 sq ft of venting per 350 sq ft of attic space. Wich is to be divided between intake and outake. Not ever soffit bay needs to be vented. Besides that it would be the insulators job to fix that if they wish, not the roofers
Insulators Job? No one is there but them. If you see shit thats wrong fix it. Tell the owner first. Get paid for the work but make it right. You will stand out more in the owners mind. You will get a better recommendation word of mouth can build a killer business or destroy one thats been established for 30 years.
Yeah insulators job because if you didnt notice they dont have sheetrock on some of their cieling. Lol. It's an obvious insurance job. So yes once the roof is re roofed and inside fixed. The insulator can fix the proper vents more properly than the roofer can from above
I'm re-roofing 40 sq due to tornado 🌪 damage. Everyone in my town is price gouging because its "insurance money". The cheapest bid I received was $450 a square. So im doing it myself. This includes replacing ALL the wood. The tips you showed me are invaluable! I'm starting this Friday (06/30/2023) as soon as the dumpster shows up!
@NWIVeteranConstruction I'm just north of Toledo, OH. If you want to shoot a video and help 🤷♂️🤣 Smoked brisket, ribeyes, and professional fireworks on Monday (I have a Type 54 license for fireworks).
Joe Phillips Hear it all the time around here to excuse bad customer service in local stores. It's just the person being lazy and not wanting to do any work.
Heard that from lots of guys I have hired.. you don't get callbacks because you dont work at the same place for 12 years... Also reminds me of my dad to the game wardon one year, "but we've been hunting here for years.." 🙄😳
great idea! I guess I just expected them to be careful rather than trying to think of something. that's a great suggestion. I will take that one with me!
As a 23 year old that started roofing/framing at 14 with family friends. It’s because of men like this, I am where I am at today. An independent contractor who grew up being taught how to work smarter not harder with no lack of busting ass. The best leaders are the quiet ones who aren’t so damn insecure that they have to let the whole neighborhood know who’s boss. I don’t care how you lead. All I seen was about 16 square of roof go from shitty shingles to new sheeting in about 3.5 hours. Home owners were probably very surprised at the amount of time this job was done. With small companies like this, the homeowners are the boss. The business owners are there to help and provide value to the customers. One bad job can squash all potential leads in the area. I’m very blessed to have a dad like this guy
Yeah this is all a bit confusing to me; Namely, isn't it the "responsibility" of the owner/site lead to ensure that staff working on a job site are complying with safety regulations (aka being tied off / wearing appropriate footwear) ? I mean, if anyone issued a complaint, all they would need to do is link to his youtube channel.
makes no sense at all. im a roofer and if we did this in oregon we would be fined w in 10 min by osha minimum 5-100k per guy who was in violation. we all are a bunch of funny guys but these boys really need to follow some safety rules of the trade. no homeowner should allow this no county should allow this. some good methods obviously some experience with the lead but thats it.
Omg lol shut up! Sorry you live where you live! I drive past workers everyday this week 2 stories up on an 8/12 no harnesses. One day theres was frost up there lol chill
More baffles on the eves sir. Beyond that you are working for yourself good for you. I’ve been the foreman and I see what your dealing with. Good luck.
I believe that around the Heater pipe there is supposed to be at least 1 inch clearance to material that can catch flame such as plywood and Ice and water shield. So putting it tight to the pipe puts you in danger of fire.hazzard.
I'm not a roofer so pardon my ignorance on this. If you left a gap around the pipe wouldn't it allow water to get in? Or is that what you would use a metal boot on?
@@johnnysouza5601 The gap is to keep the wood from catching fire from a fire within the flu. The flashing around the pipe is laced in with the shingles and has a collar that needs to be caulked in order for rainwater to not run down the pipe and wet somewhere in the house. The flashing is cone shaped and comes up from the roof face to tight around the pipe. But usualy there is even a gap there a little bit. The rain collar is attached usually 1/2 to 1" inch above the bottom flashing to make the final rain seal.. This allows the pipe to expand up and down as it changes length from hot to cold temperature and still not have a leak. The collar or pipe skirt moves up and down with the pipe While the roof flashing stays on the roof keeping water from the roof from entering the gap around the pipe. Some places require 2" gap to combustibles from any flu pipe that could have a fire in it.
@all the negative comments. If you bid a job the right way, your guys can work like gentlemen without having to support a 20lb tool belt all day. They did a nice job and while you might not agree with the tactics (everyone knows a better tip or trick right....) it is erroneous. Power to you man, great job and love the vids. The haters can fuck off and try and troll/ruin someone elses day. I see this guy making money so hes doing something right!!!!!
@@NWIVeteranConstruction have you tried xtratufs? That's what I wear for roofing. I've stepped on nails, screws, even razor blades and nothing has gotten all the way through yet. Plus they have amazing grip.
Yes hello I’m an OSHA inspector and I would like to come visit your current site. Please contact me at your earliest convenience for a free safety inspection. 🤣
sorry but that not the most fastest or efficient way of doing that, you would have been better if everyone strip the roof shingles and then one at a time rip up and replace the sheets, not good to remove all the sheeting like that, trusses can move plus not as safe with more risk for you
How is tearing off shingles and then tearing sheets faster? These guys are moving like turtles or not even at all and that side is ready to be resheated in 10 minutes. Unsafe? Boo hoo. Trusses shouldn't move that much, should be nailed together with rat runs. Open the roof up and get everything out of the way and start laying sheets. Why the hell would you pull a sheet at a time?
@@bolerdweller first off you never take all the sheets at once, that's how rafter movement happens and look how long it takes for them to rip one sheet up, 100% our crew is way faster then these guys especially at shingling the roof.
@@marcfavell well if the "rafters"(obviously trusses in the video) move nail them back on centers not fucken hard. So that side is ready for sheating in 10 minutes, moving slow, and you say you guys will basically do it twice faster than that? Why? Pull it all off in one go and get rid of it. If your so worried about it throw a temp nailer on top and watch the marks on the osb. Guess its asking a lot to ask a roofer to carry a tape let alone use it?
I like your style of supervising your crew. I know your a softy deep down. Lol, Many people will think your a cruel hack. But me I have worked with many many supers over my 40yrs+...I would would work for you but my tanning days are over.. Thanks for putting yourself out there, you are teach me some nice tricks dude.
Hey Zach! I’m new to your channel and I want you to know I appreciate all your videos. Good stuff! I’m in Colorado and trying to branch out on my own so I appreciate a lot of what you are doing and showing. Thanks again!
old school way of making home made gaskets for your car too.when you had no money or no gaskets were available. rtv on both sides of felt paper back in the day did the trick.
Ran in to one worse one time. Show up to a log cabin package being delivered and installed by the factory builders. OBS on the roof. No H clips. 1 or 2 nails in each sheet only. 2 to 3 inch gaps. In the sheathing everywhere. The assembly was part of the factory pricing. We had to rip it all off and start over. Screwed everything up. Put us way behind schedule. We end up shoveling a foot of snow off the roof and we werent even dried in yet. Homeowners took them to court and got all their loss back and then some. It was supposed to be a reputable company been around more than 20 years at the time.. Havent taken on a job like that since. But then again I changed careers over a decade ago.
Hi What thickness plywood sheathing is ideal? I am located in southern Ontario (Toronto) and we do get fair amount of snow. 3/4 inch plywood be overkill? Thanks
Any rafter system spaced more than 16” on center (apart) requires H-clips trust me that’s the code been did it for seven years, was lead carpenter (boss) for 3.5 yrs
Even on 16" centers I still use H clips, typically. They're cheap and you literally just place 2 every 8', it's not a time waster. Been in construction for 5 years and while yes there is certainly a difference between ply and OSB...no one has ever asked me for a sheet of OSB on a job, its just called plywood by nomenclature. Dont watch a 30 minute video from someone more experienced and call him out for a common use of a single word 😂😂
