I had a new roof put on in 2020 after tornado damage. I have noticed my house feeling hotter in the summer. I see other ridge vents that look higher. I noticed mine looks like there is a small space where the "ridge vent" is. I see now that the contractor put a mesh one like the one shown here. It is not sunk in like this one. It seems like the mesh would not work as well, but maybe I'm wrong. Should I install a plastic ridge vent? Thank you. I really do appreciate the video, and you do seem like a nice helpful person. It is so hard to find!

Good repair job! Looked like a lot of work and you made it look easy.

Thanks for Sharing I needed to Know this, replacing a Metal one that has Detorated & leaking..Kay

Why not pick up the nails at the start and keep them somewhere safe in a bucket or something as you pull them out. It is only a small number compared to doing the entire shingle job where you would have a tarp below to catch everything. This helps protect the roof from damage when you are walking on them and prevents them from getting on the driveway or garden where someone or a pet walks on them and keeps them out of someones tires, as well as you from kneeling on them. JUST SAYING ! Sorry but this is not good and that roof needs major work, not a bandaid job.. its soft and lots of rotten wood. It is quite evident from the bouncing shingles as you are nailing that these old shingles are not stuck down and there is lots of rot in that roof.

WTF!? Painfull to watch.

Isn't the gap on the peak is too wide. You sound like a good person. We need people like you.

Is that peel and stick on slope roof? I didn’t see him peeling

why leave the nails where you can step on them and drive them into the roof lol

needs a BIG SIGN..."don't walk on ridge vent"

Your a messy roofer

Oh no! You're putting your nails on the wrong side of the tar line.

Excellent video, thanks bro!

Amen

Do you recommend the mesh or plastic ridge vent

I have a quick question I had the same thing happened to me where I had the mesh ridge vent and it got wet so I replaced it with the plastic one why don’t people just put the plastic one on initially it’s like the same price

why not put a 3/4 x 4x36"plywood board at the ends so if a man steps where the air space was will now be solid footing and won't cave in?

Awesome. I learn a lot about roof. Thank you so much.

What type of sealer did you use to keep water from blowing between the ridge vent and the shingles? My last roof failed due to no tar sealer under the ridge vent.

Why did you nail on the exposed side of the tar line? This exposes the caps to leaking.

like most everyone stated in the comments, really appreciate the detailed explanations.

Hate to say it, but I don't believe it's going to work, that particular way. I would have made some double sticky resisto tape, and stuck it to the bottom of the plastic ridge cap your using, and then pressed it into the shingles, and then screwed it.. My gap was 3 inches across the ridge line and was built with green lumber, so didn't really have room for carpentry, but yours looks like 6, and could use some 1 x 2"s. Mine leaked and I had to dump it for 3 tab. .

That Was A EXCELLENT VIDEO, I REALLY LEARNED A Lot, & GOD BLESS YOU & WE'RE GLAD YOU SAY THAT 🙏 WISH YOU HAD A SAFETY ROPE.

nail one side at a time then you do the otherside...those are Cobras instructions.

Is there any way to fill in that gap with wood somehow? They ought to make a wood strip just for this. It could be grooved so it fits under the OSB or plywood a few inches, then goes over the trusses and fills in a few inches or even to the peak if they left a gap where they shouldn't. Some good kind of treated wood maybe. What would a piece like that look like? I have seen where they cut the plywood back and then add a wide plywood strip. Gotta love toung and groove though.

Thanks!

nice job

Fantastic video, thank you!

Fantastic video. A little long, but i have the attention span of a....Squirrel! Very surprised that I guess if done right, I would only need to seal four nail heads. But seriously, I couldn't have asked for a more detailed how to video. thank you. God bless.

Nice sharing my dear HAVE a GREAT day STAY connectLUÔN ĐỒNG HÀNH CÙNG NHAU NHA

This should have been an easy sale for a full replacement… That roof is shot with multiple repairs and bad skylights. I would have walked away if they only wanted a repair.

Great time-lapse video! What roofing material would normally be used with a roof pitch like this?

There is definitely a lot to learn from this man I would definitely work for free for a whole month just to learn everything I can from him honest man nice quality job clean work I can even learn math from him …. ……

theoretically this is good

So why don't you put all nails on ridge vent before Shingles cause too many nais.

One of the most informative videos I've ever seen! thank you

Excellent video…

You're doing great! Keep up the good work.

Honestly since the roof Is almost done they should have just repaced It all at one time done right.

Whoever did that original vent should never work again.

You're breathing kind of heavy my guy and they need to clean there gutters out, but good video thumbs 👍

I have that style vent they let leaves in my attic.they are trash

You got a shit load of cars down there and your drop and nails everywhere I would’ve picked up them nails first before you started kicking them all over the place other than that good video

Awesome video, really helped me get the confidence to repair my roof. Had a 4ft piece blow off due to a storm and it seemed like a good reason to learn something new

I appreciate you taking the time to film and explain this process and because of you I have a better understanding of what I'm up against. Sure wish you was in Charlotte NC area - I would hire you in a minute.

Only watched a few minutes but question if plastic vent could be any obstacle for rodents who like rooftops. I am shocked at the potential for leakage from roof vents such as these and am glad this man is helping the homeowner. Has to be a better option than a roof vent that runs the length of the ridgeline. What about those vents that look like a rotating rounds about 18 inches in diameter? Would rather have a small penetration in the roof than a huge one for a ridge vent.

Hi show much did you charge the customer for this ridge vent replacement job? I have exactly the same problem with my roof

If I install a attic fan, can I eliminate the roof vent and go over with the 3 tab shingle?

Thanks for sharing! Too bad a work which you love doesn't pay for you to survive. Keep well and be safe and hope you find a nice job soon.

This is what I needed! I have a 15 year old plastic cobra roof ridge vent and water was dripping from the top of the roof in several places near the ridge. I could not figure it out as I am new. Asked online, was told to seal the roof ridge vent nails with Blackjack Roofing Asphalt Cement, did that and put a cement fabric on top and more cement on each nail. Some of the dripping stopped, but in other places continued. Realized I should have taken out a few nails that were loose and could be pulled out by hand, but I just cemented over them. Then I realized that because smooth nails were used instead of ones with rings on them which help them stay in the wood, the wind which is high here as the house is on a hill, the wind pulled up the roof ridge vent and pulled the nails out. That is why ring shank nails not just glalvanized nails are used on the roof ridge vent to help hold it against being pulled up. So I nailed the roof ridge vent with a new nail on every shingle which pushed it tight against the house and put Blackjack asphalt cement over each head to prevent from rusting if water gets under. Currently waiting to see if it solved the leak before sealing the shingles with Geocell 2300. Not sure if I shouldn't use Geocell 2300 as it may not bond to the asphalt cement on the shingles as well, but I figure since asphalt cement fails in three years or so, then the perhaps the Geocell 2300 will fail at a different time point.
