Very well explained video. To the point!
Thanks for your videos. Very helpful.
At first I didn’t know what to think about you but after watching your work I gotta say YOU MADE A BELIEVER OUTTA ME! My hat goes off to you and your wife I enjoy watching all of your videos
thanks and keep up the good work
So great to see you and your son working together your son is my son's age and he is a perfectionist also I am very proud of my son he is such a better version of me ,I wish you and your family the very best and thank you for your videos
First instinct is always accurate
Awesome I’m so proud of you guys love team you are champions
Love the relationship you guys all have. Awesome to see.
Thanks
Ditto
@@FlatRoofDoctor What is your charge? Where are you located? And where can I send you some pics of my flat roof that needs repair
This was a great video. Very informative
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice meeting you today! She dose a great torching.
Thanks! You too!
You are the best nice work
You guys are amazing. We have a flat rubber membrane roof now which is square pieces tarred down which almost look like rubber mats and it's been liquid coated over a few times and flaking so it does NOT look like what you have here. Can we just torch that rolled roofing shingle over it like you did ? Thanks.
Awesome video ..What kind of roof cover would I used for bathroom exhaust fan?
We use Stanley hook blades for torch on , couldn't use a straight blade
So this is over another torchdown roof but what if your existing roof was epdm rubber could you torch straight over it or would you need the fiberglass base sheet
fantastic instruction. thx
Glad it was helpful!
Hey at 14 minutes and 47 seconds you started to heat the torch line. What was that for?
Is this not bitumen torch down felt? Since when do we melt rubber? Rubber is usually glued down in the uk
Very good job looks very good
Thank you very much!
Hello, can we torch down the rubber roof on the existing garage metal roof? Thank you.
Coming out good
thanks
This guy can torch to EPDM amazing just amazing I’ll tell you a thing or 2 🔥🔥🤣🤣
No primer onto new torchdown?? (Referring to patches and pipe detail)
Karnak is surprising. . I used spray primer.
It always seemed a better seal.
i could do better details with a military grade flame thrower.
I have the old tar and gravel roof, is there any new ways to replace the tar and gravel roofs, or should i just do spot tar repairs when the Leak comes.
I gave a link under this video how you can install over a Hot tar and gravel roof
I use your videos for training purposes
Why do you round the corners?
Speaking of not removing roofs
I’m gunna tie in a flat roof to a 10/12 pitch roof should I torch straight to shingles or remove shingles and roll it under the shingles??
Never, but never torch over shingle. Always remove at least 2 lines, bring the membrane up, then install new shingles over the membrane. I sometimes am able to pop the nails and slide the membrane under the shingles, but it is risky, shingles could break, and you might not have enough overlap
Wow she got the perfect bleed at the end!
It might not pass code in some states here these days but I know this was the way roofing was done many years ago. My grandfather took part in roofing jobs like these in the 80’s & many of the houses he did some 30 odd years ago still have those same torched down roofs. I had even learned from one of my uncles some years ago when I was much younger. Now a days though it’s not as easy to still do this without someone reporting you :/
Most areas allow Torch down...some places like New York City use hot mop.
Karens thinking they helping out society by reporting you
I have been doing T/D since 1984. Never has it been done this way. It's a ugly as it gets.
Hoy en día se USA asphalt primer de asfalto sobre el metal
What if the old torch down roof has silver seal on it. Will the new torch down still adhere to it?
you can burn the silve coat off with the torch
Why is the corner cutting a better than straight corners. And after how many layers can you use a previous roof ?
The sharp corners dont adhere/bond to the substrate as well as a rounded off one. People that drag their feet have a tendency to kick the sharp corners up with their boots.
I hope me and my son can work like this one day. Of the computer world doesn't take him from me.
Which is ok. If it does. I supporting 100%,
As long as he is not stealing or hurting people
I have 3 sons, I am blessed they are hard working, although I think to know how to use programs on a computer is very helpful. I spend many days editing, photoshop, billing, and quickbooks on a computer.
Dude you are getting hot spots.
Wow very good job sweetheart 😘❤️
Love you sweetheart. Anyone reading this, Allie is my sweetheart, the one making the videos for most of the time, I am the editor. She was in Texas when I had put this together. Thats why such a comment from her.
Leak city lmaoo
Keep going ull learn how to be a torch MAN one day lol
What would a roll of this felt cost to buy and how long would they be in metres?!
In uk a decent sbs roll 8m is £50
Around $70 for 32 meters. This APP and not SBS
@@FlatRoofDoctor oh that’s a very good price. Always interesting to see how different roofers in different parts of the world do things.
I enjoy watching your videos 👍
can you install the torch down rubber roof over an EPDM roof?
People will say know. But what I have done many times is install a Self adhering base straight over the EPDM and then Torch over it. This is one of those roofs I did around 5 years ago ua-cam.com/video/t1jALMrWVdY/v-deo.html
Awesome. Family business. Everyone is working and no complaining. Good Mexican wife 😀
The Mexican part is the best
you seem like such a nice guy, i would love to meet you.
The Bob Ross of roofers. ....
Why do the granules always seem to come off the roof within 5 yrs. At the 5 yr mark, we always have to silver coat b/c too much of the tar is exposed to UV
correct
brands make different qualities.
I notice that you did not clean the substrate before you did the torch down. Why?
How would you clean it. Give him an example of how you clean it
@@douglei4413 I thought you would wash it first? Power wash or hose down the whole roof with soap?
can rubber roof be installed on shingle roof?
Probably not.
Wouldn’t pass an inspection in FL
you are right. My way will not pass any inspection. As long as it last longer than other roofs.
😂 it wouldn’t pass inspection anywhere
And it won’t last longer than most roofs
What if the existing roof has a lot of ponding water
If the roof is layed correctly ponding water isn’t a problem they are designed for water to lay on
make sure you prime the old roof first
Secondly in a recover installation every major roofing manufacturer will require you remove all base flashings, edge metals prior to the recover in order to get a manufacturers warrant. Any roofer who offers you his personal warranty in lieu of a manufactures warranty is a hack.
Why that colour felt it hideous
u need to solvent prime that old membrane first
You primer flashing and then torch over flashing. I have made 20 year roofer made look like rookies.
i would like to know if you've ever accidently caught a family member on fire? that would be terrifying
Bitumen will not stick to rubber

First of all the doctor says don’t ever remove the old asphalt roof! Never leave wet roofing components in place when you reroof a bldg. Wet insulation left in place will rot wood and steel deck.
This guy is a hack.
One more scenario what if the existing roof did not meet. Wind uplift criteria as specified by local BOCA code.
This guy does not take into account any agency requirements including OSHA safety requirements.
The old roof is probably 40 years old and it stood up to all the weather elements with in those 40 years. If it was not up to code then it would had been blown off the roof a decade ago.
Also, anyone can feel if the portion of the roof which is rotting. You can feel it with your feet. Just replace that section. No need to replace the entire roof.
This guy is a total butcher!!
First of all a roofer with a flat blade is not a roofers.
Yes. They are "master" roofers. Hook blades are for newbs.
Depends what kind of roof your putting down smh
You would not last a full day as a roofer in any dutch roofing company , this for shure is not on a profesional level in the usa.
Ya ya ya, before every fall is pride. Good example was Pres Trump. We all have to fall a few times to be humbled.I am certainly not your standard. You arw everyones superior. I hope you all the best.
No the USA is not good compared to roofing in London England.
It’s just to messy this, torch marks everywhere.
Although you do seem like a likeable knowledgeable man
I agree.....this guy has been ruining roofs for over 30 years.....terrible.
One week with me.....he would be 1000× better!
Think he has inhaled to much Karnak!
You would never make it in Canada and let me say using an old roof is bad because it's is shrunk and will keep shrinking your detail work on your stripping is crap I would not hire you
Roof doctor loves the latina spice!!!
Hot hot hot
lol
Your pipe flashing is wrong!
"that's detailing" is that what you are calling it. What an absolute state. Those pipe details will be leaking within a year.
Your opinion. ha ha ha
@@FlatRoofDoctor my opinion, based on 20 years experience.
Biggest shoemaker I've ever seen. If you worked for any company I've ever worked for in Canada and I've worked for the biggest company in North America Flynn Canada. You would only be allowed to torch once and you wouldn't even be allowed to finish you first roll. You would be lucky if they allowed you to cut cap sheet. I know you said in a previous video that there is a right way to do this but you would show us the way you do it and that tha manufacturer wants it done a certain way but you won't do it that way. I guess there are no standards in the US. Everything you do is over burned you never use gussets you make rabbit ears both ways on your flashing which is wrong. Rabbit ear only go on you first peace the second peace should be cut flush with the wall box parapet and patch on cap sheet is not a 6" by 6" peace you put over a hole it has to look natural the length of the cap sheet 39.50" wide and you cut off the 3" lap and 3' both ways of the hole making it 6 feet long. Putting down a diamond shaped piece over a roof pipe is when you add a roof pipe to an existing roof after the fact with a cone over the pipe. Any existing pipes already on the roof are supposed to look natural you pass the cone 6" cut the roll there and start another piece of roll touching the pipe with the 6" over lap. You have never done or been to the manufacturer torching course.
Right this guys a joke they show his videos to us in RCABC apprenticeship training, of what not to do.
@@foreign700 RCABC ftw. They should have him come do some demo's to show the difference between specced work and his hack work
Who thumbs down this??? Jelly??
May look rough, but it not gonna leak
you are my man, thanks. That is the point. I seldom had any roof leak in 35 years
You’re doing it all wrong. Haha
your doing a retro fit but not using base ? you do realize that the base it whats the actual waterproofing membrane and cap is just to prevent it from UV rays from the sun. certainly not how we do it in Canada
You clearly don't understand what a base membrane is and what a Cap membrane is. I regard roofers from Canada very highly, but your analysis of Torch Down is completely off.
I think Canadian roofers have a higher standard and that is why they like to criticize me all the time. I have developed different techniques by myself as I started roofing. There was no school at the time.
@@FlatRoofDoctor Never to late to go to school and learn how it is really done , even on your age.
I saw u hurt urself with a burn, I had to re watch 3 times to see how.
Fingers put in hot.spot!!!.
I've done it before.
You delt with that like a man.
Ahahhsshishhh.
Rub off fast, but slow
Hmm, thanks for watching and commenting
Just the people don't nothing about roofing said good job but thing is evrething u doing is wrong sorry Dr come to Florida to do ur job Next day u Fire 👎👎👎👎
Thanks Juan. I have never been Fired, but there is always the 1 st time.
@@FlatRoofDoctor it would be pretty depressing if you fired yourself.
Sorry guys but that's a mess you doing there.
i like it but you guys are messy not a very clean looking roof..
So many things wrong in the application of the product in this video. Hey doctor if you are going to do a video at least do it right. No priming of the granular surface before torching a target. Really.
One more thing in a recover of a compatible asphalt roof, asphalt primer should be applied in order to achieve a clean surface to attach too. So many things wrong in this video. Plus where is your warning flags doc?
HACK
did you go look at the videos I told you to look at, of a real.roof ? not that burnt up shit you install ?
I looked, Could hardly see any detail. But I will admit, whoever do those roofs, are very detailed and it is very well done. I never saw you on the videos, so don't claim something you are not.
I am in the videos brother. I'm the foreman of the company, I'm not in all the videos because we do all types of work. but I only do flat roofs!
I'm gonna be completely honest; you have the right idea on how to instal and actually roof. but your just not doing it right... even when you torch you leave the roof burnt to shit , don't you atleast care to leave it nice and unmarked? I do sound like a hater after reading all my comments but still you habe to understand that what you do wouldn't fly over here !
@@fgreezy it certainly wouldn't fly in Britain either. My labourer has been with me a year and can torch better than this. I've personally never seen a roof done this bad in Britain, not even the DIY jobs.
@@smudger304 I'm surprised this goof hasn't burned down a few building's. or maybe he has 😂
))) bad job, lol
