In this video I installed copping metal over a parapet wall , after installing the build up roof system , the copping was installed after stucco was done. hope you like it , please subscribe and share. Eric.
For commercial, we always have welded corners. No top fasteners. Usually front cleat and rear neophrene screws. Preferred would be front and rear cleat. This job looks like a residential install, way down south in warm climates with no wind or uplift.
You should do a 1" rib turn up at your outside/inside corners and overlaps. Flat seams leak!! Then cap ribs with a little cap and rivet it on! I repair coping cap that's done like this all the time that leaking!!
Hey Eric thanks so much for your time and effort, nice job pretty well explain he look you can go Pro get one of those Go Pro cámaras and put on your head and you can use for run or bike and deduct on taxes .
Our roofing company has 3 metal roofing crews, 3 shingle crews and 3 membrane crews. I myself am a metal man. And yes....i do a lot of coping. You guys out there have never heard of a 3/8 hem at your joints, with driver? Standing seem on joints is extinct.
What’s so hacky about it? it’s functional. I doubt they would risk their license by doing a hacky job, as long as it passes inspection, that’s all that matters.
As someone who makes coping/flashing, it really bugs me how lazily they handle the metal. Dragging that on a roof that is textured is like nails on a chalkboard.
I can instal the correct way with a continuous cleat like it should be done. I work in LA County. You need metal roofing I can also do the complete installation
I always peel tge plastic where ever I lap metal to secure lol then when I am done i peel the rest so the metal doesn't get scratched haha. I just run a straight blade lightly and tear off the plastics.
Does anyone have any suggestions for terminating rolled roofing against a stone parapet with no regular horizontal joints? Over the top is not an option...
If i install coping like this here in canada i was fired instantly! Here we do the male and female and wrapping. We never use screw on top of the cap and we never install cap without a starter...
Yup same shit in bc. Standing seam with a clip wind clip on the face and If the parapet is above 6inches neoprene screw through the back or a clip in the middle. This is horrible work.
Anything and everything you learn can be applied to other applications, Reputation is everything for tradesmen, As long as you do a good job at a fair price you will get calls
I'm not making a video for sale , that's the reason , the other way is if I start adding fancy stuff to my videos...I will take the original scent of it , when I film like that...you are looking thru my eyes... my videos are make to give everyone an idea of what is the basic of the roofing system. I could make a lot better videos but ...they will look to fancy like a studio made videos and people like to see something else. In that case go to the manufacturer's website and watch their professional videos on how to. greetings . Eric.
If you ever install coping like this on my job...I'll fire you on the spot..looks terrible, wheres the cleat? What's stopping the face and back from flapping
@JAIME SANTA CRUZ it's a roof. Everywhere is fuxking windy at some point or other man. It's attitudes like yours that make a shit name for the trade. EVERY PEICE SHOULD HAVE MININUM A 40" CLIP IN THE MIDDLE
Sam Campos ...any sheet metal company can fabricate it for you, before you order it, measure it, make sure you give at least 1" inch wider ,sometimes the wall are crooked so count that also.
@@user-do2ie5kf2w you know some people just do this job mon to fri 40+ hours a week. He doesn't have a standing seam corner which is an industry standard. You Never top screw through coping as water will sit their sometimes.
Yeah.. screws through the top , doesn't safety hem his shit. Also he cut off the 1/2" kick on the first peice which you can use to hook onto the other back leg to hold it in place he's a roofer doing sheet metal
