What boggles my mind is that we have come all of this way and we still rely primarily on asphalt shingled roofs that require replacement at least every 20 years for your average residential home. Don't even get me started on commercial style torch on membrane roofs.
Facts
This chump uses a curved claw hammer. Use a shinglers hatchet with an affixed gauge Skippy ! Duhhhh !
Number one problem with stalling asphalt shingles is not taking care to remove what is under them !
Not to mention they can gator back
He don't look like he's ever hauled any shingles up a ladder and you can shingle around sky lights if you have common sense. Once you do it the right way production is like clockwork
My thought exactly. You know so why don't you share.
Why not clearly demonstrate these mistakes?
These are common mistakes? Thanks for this vid to show us the real fact.
Thirty years of installing and i think you should revamp at least number 4. With proper starter installed shingles can cantilever to an inch past the drop edge because it's the same as D or A style. The application is the same to prevent capillary action. Manufactures generally say 3/8" minimum. Also your drop edge demonstration though making a point you show improper application even though you just showed drop edge. Just as 3/8 to 1 inch is variable you should express there are a few ways to apply. There are different Pipeflashing also. Over all thanks improper application has ruined our industry and made me pretty well off!!
Just wasted 5mim 37 seconds of my life
1/2" Overhang huh? Even 3/4" is retarded! You wear speaking about rotted Fascia Boards? Oh, and where's the Wall Flashing on the Dormer?
Plus you need 6 nails minimum on architectural shingles, dumb ass
You have no wall flashing in front of your gable. You can see almost a half inch gap there for water to get in, plus you can see the nails on the shingles in front of the gable and they have no silicone on them. If you live in canada where I live, and it snows and piles up there which it always does, you are gonna have a major leak. Does anyone take pride in their work anymore?
Wouldn't want you as my roofing contractor
could you please tell me which camera you use ?
Great Video Awesome – https://www.contractoros.net/
This is a good video showing some basic mistakes. I like it!
1st mistake is to use shingles that is made in US. because those are made fiberglass reinforced asphalt instead rubberized asphalt that remains flexible much more longer, doesn't tear so easily etc.
9 swings of the hammer to drive that nail ~ You're fired.
