Or on a house where all the shingles are nailed properly in the nail line, he isn't pulling any of the nails out, and probably won't even beat them down before re-roofing it, sad...really sad
Every hoise is diferent you need to use diferent skills.. if is old whit 1x10 by x6 x4 If is 2layers Yf is plywood.. The way you think is fster try never think the way you do is faster then other ones ..for me everyone needs to doo the way they feel is faster 👌💪💪💪😎
Dan Borrello I've heard people tell stories about that happening and how cops show up cuz the homeowners got scared and I always laugh 😂😂😂 it's bad but still funny 😂😂😂
This is why they put the contractor sign in the front yard. I guess you could always move the sign if you knew which day the crew was going to show up. My neighbor had a sign in his yard for 2+ months before the roof was actually done. It was all done in a single day.
No ice and water on the bottom of roof deck, I'll bet those were nailed high for how easy they come off, and quite possibly could be hail damaged. Or poor installation.
I do roofing tear off and i have to say this is great work , will def try this on the next tear off , ive only been doing it for 1 month but hope to learn and improve
He'd NEVER do that on a Florida roof....tin caps and nailed every 6" on seams and 8" in the field....that roof must have been put on with elmers glue😒😒😒
I tried this today on a one layer with staples. Have to say I was completely impressed because it prepped itself. I had to pull four staples out of a 5 square roof
this worked because the pitch was steep enough for the shingles to slide, and there were no gutters. but the job is still far from done. nails now need pulled or pounded and the ground still needs cleaned.
breathe and squeeze man every comment I see about nails lol the shingles are coming up so easy cause they are stapled not nailed that roof never had one nail in a shingle
I did rolfing for a little while, the way we teared off was from left to right or right to left instead of up to down. If you do it the other way you can get a roll going to where you can just throw it in the dumpster instead of throwing it all down and picking it all up afterwards
good for steeper pitches however on an 8-12 and below it's often times easiest to separate the tar line on every sixth row and then lift six or seven shingles rather than take four or five Strokes with each shovel only to tear everything into smaller pieces which makes it difficult for the ground guys
Roof looked like it was in decent shape, zero evidence of water damage under any of the tear off. I guess this is a roofing job for people for whom money is no object I guess. "Honey how old is the roof?" "I think it's about 10 years old..." "Ah shieet...better replace it before it leaks on us..."
Or they are just doing one part of that side and instead of havin half of them looking brand new on that one side do the whole side we don't know what the job was so we can't make fun unless we knew if they were just being rich fucks replacing it for no reason
Serious question. Should they of just shingled over that if there was no water damage? Or just not replaced it all together? I have 2 houses that the roofs are 10 years old plus. They look fine and are dry.
I never worked at the south but its it's amazing you guys doesn't have to deal whit the ice and water, well well every crews that I know tear off like that
Seems to be working good for this particular house but yeah he's getting it off for sure! But this also looks like a guy getting paid by the square that's motivated to get something done not an hourly guy that calls himself a roofer.
When shingles are stapeld down, they come off like sheets. Roofers like using stapels to fasten so they don't have to load the gun as much, time is money. The problem is, the shingled roof does not hold up through the test of time and elements of weather. Watch out for crappy work, or mass subdivisions. Somewhere a contractor is cutting corners.
i was going to say the same thing. he'd be better starting at the bottom and just pulling it up in sheets no pitch fork required. putch forks are the least efficient tool to use.
I too was wondering if there was something we were not seeing.. that there sheathing looks damn good to me. On top of the factor roof really doesn't look that old but who's to say although, again like I said that sheathing looks immaculate!
Try working like that in New Zealand OSH would shut the job down and give you a big fine. No safety gear on, no fall protection gear. We have to jump through heaps of hoops just to work onsite.
Looks new, I don't know why it's being torn off, But some people claim Hail Damage to get the insurance to pay for it even though there isn't any, but just to get a new roof. Not good.
No sir!! Cant pull that stunt here in south florida😂!!! You will quickly arrive at a stopping point every 3 and a half seconds😂😂😂😂! #30 is tin capped with 1 1/4 ring shank nails 6" on center at the laps and 9-12" on center double lines through the middle. And shingles get 6 nails. Ring shank.
That's really cool....until you have to go back through and tear every nail out....you know what I've found d in my years of roofing? A gold colored nailed blends in with plywood or obs cdx... then you have what we in the business call stingers that pop a hole in your waterproof barrier aka your felt or synthetic. Nobody shows that part....probably cause it would take the wind out of their proverbial sail or because then their customers would know.....
dude was using pitch forks instead of a roofing shovel. that plywood is gonna be nail heaven. it's take him half the day to get all the balls he's missing.
You can tear off dummy shingles by hand. Show a roof with 2 layers of shake and 2 layers of 3 tabs and 1 layer of asphalt. And do it quick. Now that woulf amaze anyone.
Easy for a one layer peel. Try that on 2 to 3 layers. I see guys that get paid by the square tear off the roof and still have to prep. I tear it down one time nails and all, because I don't like to do double work. If your hrly maybe. But piece rate doesn't pay twice on tear-off
I would do this infront of my coworkers and they would laugh at me and say I was tearing off wrong little did they know I was tearing off the 30 along with the shingle. Work hard and smart is what I go by
looks like the shingles werent even nailed, more like stapled than nailed. Maybe that's why they have to tear everything off. And yeah, the roof looks brand new to mee too.
Been roofing 22 years an this is how you mess up the gutters and make a big mess on the ground .it's the hack way.dont do this the shingles shouldn't go to ground ,strate to dump truck or dumpster cuts time in half
Gonna take forever to clean the mess up. I wouldn't recommend doing that. And why the pitch forks? Why not use an actually ripper ? Might be doing it quick but doing it the hardest way possible
Would like to see you try this crap on a 1x6 roof deck! With staples,You would’nt even last a few minutes Every tear off on plywood is a piece of cake!
