Roll Roofing A Small Flat Roof with Greg Zanis 

his pants were falling down.

As a homeowner I'd love to hear what he did wrong. Educate us, don't just snipe. I just had a shingle roof done by a "professional" roofer that leaked bad within two months.

Amen brother lol!! I just thought I'd seen everything!

@@amathonn First of all "peel n stick" roofs require a smooth surface to adhere to. That's why they make a "base" sheet underlayment that installs first. Then the peel n stick membrane adheres to that. Second you NEVER put a nail in it! Especially in the overlap seam! Third it requires a edge metal that goes around the perimeter edge for it to adhere to correctly to prevent wind from getting under and blowing it off! I honestly don't know how people get by doing shotty work like this!! I promise you it didn't stick and you could pull it up with ease! People PLEASE check your contractors credentials and get references before hiring them!

@@drunkbriankelley its not even a cap sheet

How long did it last

This is not underlayment. It's a Rolled roofing material.

@@mrreams711 As noted above, product instructions clearly indicate that the WeatherWatch material has a limited time after installation before the final roofing is installed over it. If exposed for too long, UV damage may occur, the product lifetime will be shortened and the warranty will expire. Others have used WeatherWatch as the final roofing treatment as well, but this is not in compliance with the manufacturer's instructions. It obviously works, but the durability and performance over time will suffer.

@@misterlyle. like the original commenter, you are confusing the underlayment with the cap sheet.

Looks like he covered a rubber roof 😮

Watch some of his more popular videos. He is a very special kind of contractor.

Noooo

If it made it through Katrina, it was good stuff, we just took a direct Florence hit.

Simple truth. Hard to deny it if it can make it through a hurricane

If you install it over live moss and crud, it sticks even better!

This was rolled roofing, not under lament.

@@seeya205 ..it was weather shield and he didn't even know you can lay it down and pull the plastic from underneath...haha

Where are your roofing videos? try to be a little nicer, it may take your better places in life. If you feel you have a better suggestion for a method, post the link...

mr.Ben betor, your roofing company and your buddies drywall company!

lol haha g1 take care bud :)

Same here. If I had time to make videos, I would - I'm literally bust from dusk 'til dawn.

@@hybridamerica You ahve time for what you make time for

How would you finish the Last Row against the house windows, would you use Henry Tar to Caulk over the window edge and the Roll.

@@matt7iron well considering he didnt use rolled roofing or remove the old roof duct tape would work as well as anything else lmfao

lol !! Bravo review

Fucking funny man

yeah, the branches through the ladder steps, he prolly killed his self crawling down

Nailed it 😂

Ya man funny as shit. I'm doing one tomorrow. Its has been 20 years or so since I got out of rolled and shingle roofs. I did polyureya roofing for 12 years after that. What fun but messy.

Mortals who don't know the difference between actual roofing material and just Ice & Water underlayment. That roof will be in tatters in just one season. This guy should be in jail for fraud.

@allen D please PM me for a quote to fix your leaks after you've installed as shown here 🤣

@@superblanch15 lmao

Please don't

no no no!!! read the SDS this is NEVER an exterior product or a roof. it's like peel-and-stick felt for you to put under shingles or metal.

@@detumaki do not see or hear the granules?

Hardworking guy, honest, and fun... really enjoyed..

RU-vid (trained) roofers are the entire reason why consultants get paid so much. When you have entire companies who's combined experience is "well I saw the video but I couldn't quite understand the code books or manufactures label" and lawyers just see "huh, he has a license", you spend years in arbitration, just to have guys like this pay for complete reroof, framing, drywall, and other consequential damages. Except they dont. Because 9/10 times their "company" is dissolved before the first rainstorm and the phone number is a disconnected burner.

I know people will get on it and don't know what the hell they're doing just to get on RU-vid he's going over a roof with ice and shield

Most scammers are a hoot to have a beer with...

Hardworking guy, honest, and fun... really enjoyed..

I had the same thoughts. I put on my first roof (well, helped pa) at about 13-14 and I knew way more when I started then he does

If he is that scared on a flat roof, he better look for another side job...

You would think wearing a harness MIGHT have swayed his fears a bit.

Next video he falls off roof

can't believe someone payed for that

get that effin roof on, Gomer!

Your a bigger idiot then this guy

Serious or sarcastic

It's the old roofing, you can tell when he is talking about the gutter straps @ 9:00

Lol

No you don't!

it'll work, until it rains.

roof like that last over 20yrs on my shed, about the same slope.(Florida)

Hack job. That roof leaked. He does not know what he's doin.

Couple years? Stuff isn't made to last 60 days the way he put it on.

You got more heart than l do ! I was waiting for him to fall, that's why I watched it to the end

Jason Branson that's messed up

heWAS HALF DrunK.

I agree....hes a nice guy

😂

But NOT in this application. This was painful to watch.

Not laughing because it's not funny... This asshole just ripped off this person .. And showing someone how not to do it.

LMAO

I thought he was gonna slash his hand and yell heehaw

Started to laugh but then got more and more angry. This is not a parody. Maddeningly idiotic.

my first job coming home from Vietnam was hot tar roofing, this clown wouldn't make a pimple on me arse or a roofers arse.

I'll drink to that! Here here

Lol

This isn't even roll roofing. He used GAF WeatherWatch leak barrier.

Hack job. He Is not a roofer . That roof leaked ... After the next hard rain....

this comment saddens me

Made for shingles?

Not one person picked up on the fact he finished the roof with ice and water sheld . It under lament. WOW I HAVE TO MAKE A VIDEO ON HOW TO PROPERLY COOK A HAND GRANADE ON A STOVE

How so?

@@johndeleonardo9133 Because it's not shingles. It's underlayment. Shingles go over the top of this stuff or it will be in pieces by the next season. He defrauded the little old lady homeowner.

@@jckay5087 oh yeah you put shingles on a flat roof

Why don't you make a video and show us how it's done big guy

@@randyjenkins8743 I'm to busy fixing all these messed up roofs. Ain't got no time to prove nothing to you. My name speaks for itself where I'm at. True story.

Oh my gosh!!! That's why it cut so easily!!!!! I am using my phone to watch and I just didn't notice! I thaught he was using asphalt rolled roofing!!!!!!

He should have swept all that crap off, that blower did nothing

That and sue him for damages to the inside as well as cost of new roof.

you're wrong, it's not an underlayment. Absolutely meant to be used as an exposed layer and comes with a lifetime warranty from the big boxes. Just because you don't know about it, it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.

​@@infraprods ​ Now let's pretend that 1510.3 doesn't exist and this was put on to code, and instead of consulting any legal body or AHJ, let us actually consult the manufacturer, since you don't believe. Let's see the manufacturer's videos where they identify it as an UNDERflashing not to be installed on top ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rUpE0aPZn-E.html Or where they call it an ice dam/leak barrier for underlayment... No no no. Just because the manufacturer posted a video saying it doesn't mean it is true. I mean they have multiple videos maybe they didn't identify all it's potential uses. What about the next video, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-39j3xXq62KY.html Crap. They call it underlayment. Oh wait, let us quote the manufacturer's video at 2:11 "make certain that all of the weatherwatch or storm guard is covered by the drip edge as these products are not designed to be permanently exposed to sunlight." This is the EXACT product he used. Ok so the manufacturer's reps aren't the brightest. how about reading the side of the box or instructions? gafmc.com.ua/documents/WeatherWatch/WeatherWatch%20ApplicationInstructions.pdf Now we will ignore the MULTIPLE installation instructions he also ignored like overlapping, metal details, etc., and skip directly to .... oh wait. literally the first line of the instructions. "Weather Watch® Leak Barrier Application Instructions Weather Watch® Leak Barrier may be applied directly to plywood, OSB (oriented strand board), wood planks (non-chamfered edges), concrete or masonry or Loadmaster surfaces. Weather Watch® Leak Barrier should be covered with roofing as soon as possible and within 60 days after its installation. Backnail every 18” (45.72cm) in the selvage edge" should be covered with roofing as soon as possible and within 60 days after its installation.... Covered with roofing as soon as possible and within 60 days... Covered with roofing... within 60 days.... WAIT WAIT WAIT the instructions are different if reroofing!!!! My apologies "Reroofing: After removing shingles or existing metal roof, roofing felts, nails, and fasteners from area to be covered with Weather Watch® Leak Barrier, replace water-damaged sheathing and sweep roof deck thoroughly. Priming is not required for attachment to wood surfaces. Concrete and masonry surfaces must be primed with ASTM D-41 primer prior to the application of the leak barrier." And then you have to cover it in ACTUAL ROOFING IN 60 DAYS Ok so we have determined that every youtuber and roofer here is not as smart as you and does not know how to install this. And now we have determined the manufacturer lies in it's videos. And the manufacturer apparently can neither read it's own instructions or write them. Oh but wait! What about the International Code Council Evaluation Service Report aka ESR-1322. icc-es.org/report-listing/esr-1322/ It is listed as underlayment or ice dam membrane only, with direct to deck applications... nothing about installing it as a top surface... except where it specifically says it must be covered by a roof covering. and also states it cannot PER CODE be installed on any roof under 2:12 slope. Ok so the International Code Council is only literally the governing body of code and has been since the late 90s, they are far to new and inexperienced. Clearly we need someone with closer to your experience and clearly infallible knowledge. Ok so it is classified as ASTM D1970, aka American Society for Testing and Materials aka "D1970: Standard Specification for Self-Adhering Polymer Modified Bituminous Sheet Materials Used as Steep Roofing Underlayment for Ice Dam Protection". But they have only been one of the leaders in testing since the late 1800's, what do they know. Sorry for the sarcasm, this was written for another person who has been fighting this tooth and nail for a year. I am, admittedly, copy and pasting this answer because it took me 5 whole minutes to type and research something that is literally as easy as googling the product name.

Yes they are adding weight to sections and roof will sag in areas. Also this product is to be used under neath shingles.

And in addition should NEVER be applied over an old roof but is meant ONLY for direct-to-deck application.

Credential checking shouldn't be via video. But agreed, more videos should be posted

Every video does not help. This is tantamount to the gypsies that go around ripping off people with their buckets of silver roof paint.

Not very helpful. Do not do this plus this isn't the correct product to be using

@@yesyea1012 nothing wrong with it if you're ok missing the other 2 sheets of the sandwich, plus the mandatory overly, but the boy got paaaaaaid!

looks like what was being used previously though

@@ehrenleleski8204 - The original roofing appears to be an improper installation, or a hot mop that has completely lost its weathering surface.

I think you’re racist

Clearly he’s not one for preparation! 🤣🤣

@@aaronbudzinski3886 he’s a racist white supremacist, he thinks that you have to do things up to code which was made by rich white men who are also straight

Rolled roofing is great this crap sucks though

Fuck yeah that’s how we do it in Florida buyer beware law

Lol I did catch that one! It was a late night and I haven't had my coffee yet today! I'm about to go wrap some widows in aluminum. If only I had this guys help!

a match made in heaven.

😂

where's your PPE?

Never copy this Man 🙂

LOL

He's scared because he has no insurance LOL! Later on, he bends over to tie his shoe and loses his balance with the cords in his way, I'm dying laughing!

He's not a roofer, because that is not roofing material. It's an underlayment for shingles in high risk leak areas.

jonas Ramirez nope definitely not proper product - it’s shingle underlayment that goes on UNDER shingles. Not professional roofer,safety, or workmanship 👎 Just another cash cow on the grab and go.

Definitely not a roofer for sure. I mean that's a terrible job well not too bad but I mean obviously it's going to leak. But is not a roofer learned it the hard way because hired someone to do my roof they did a bad job they say it won't leak but I know it will this will leak a roofer does not do it by himself

talk to a local roofer or your local lumber yard that sells roofing materials, know the pitch of your roof. I suggest using EPDM Roofing materials.
