Great video, I’m a project manager for a roofing company and we explain this to all of our potential customers so they understand how a roof is supposed to be properly installed
I wish I had watched this before Hurricane Michael hit us in the Florida Panhandle! We finally got rid of a scam roofer, and decided to not even deal with the roof. But now, after watching this video, I'm prepared to talk to another contractor finally! Thank you!!
Find someone that works with your insurance company like evolve construction. They helped my sister with her roof after the hurricane and all she had to pay was her deductible. They made sure the insurance company approved everything the home actually needed too.
I’m a hands-on learner, brother you explained this very very well. Thank you for the help! You don’t have to do this, but you do, thank you for your service!
I’m helping my buddy start his construction business. I’ve done sales and marketing for a good insurance company in central Illinois. My parents were always savvy but I wouldn’t mind learning from you. Lmk if you have time for some questions, I’m 5 days in the game for their business (our business, gotta own it, I even wear the company shirt all time while DoorDashing too) and have 15 leads, 1 inspection done, 2 set up for Monday and have follow up calls. I just to learn more about roofs and how to rebuttal to a client that a new roof after inspecting it, that a new roof is an investment to their home that will bring value if they plan to sell it or pass it down to anyone plus it prevent anything else from happening like leaks, rotting, etc. . I have the confidence but I need the knowledge to rebuttal a client “on the spot”, since I know everyone is trying to sell them (the customer) on anything and everything.
Thank you so so much! About to start a new position at work where I'll be ordering all materials for our roof deals. This is extremely helpful and educational!
Great video for just the basics. Just what I needed! Very empowering for the homeowner to have the information needed to understand roofing terms and be confident hiring a contractor. Thank you!
Thanks for helping me remember most of the terms/names. It has been quit a while since I have used most of them. Along the line of years. Keep it up 👍.
Education! Sold! So informative, if I owned a home or know anyone who is in need of roofing This is a great video, we all know someone who may not know the right questions to ask, my 75 yr old mother in law, this helps!
Very useful. I don't want to act like I know a lot about roofing when seeking proposals, but having the basics is great. Lets me know what the key questions and expectations should be. Thanks for the education!
Really great information as I just started to sell roofs and am eager to be fluent in roofing language. Tell your boss to give you a raise and tell me I SAID SO, LOL!!!
Forgot counter step flashing,Backpan, water diverters,counter flashing and base very important 80% don't do chimney and skylights properly. Nice to see another good roofer
Wish I would've watched this 5 years ago when I worked roofing. I worked for a small town boy and roofing was some of the most gratifying work I've ever done as long as the pitch wasn't too steep, busting out and using toe boards were a pain in the ass. Tear off was satisfying, using a shingle cutter to get a perfect end cut was amazing. The worst part was being 140 pounds and hauling up an 80 pound bundle. Roofers should be paid more than plumbers and electricians imo just for the danger factor
Thanks for posting this. It's great to be able to understand when the roofer is speaking. How much does the siding type effect the roof job. I have three year old Alside Ascend Composite Cladding Siding (installs like vinyl with a J channel on the bottom). How hard is it to replace the step flashing (I think you skipped that term). I'd guess the J channel is screwed through the old step flashing. Seems like Hardie could be a pain too. For the ridge venting... I like the idea, but I have a whole house fan requiring 9 sq feet of venting. I don't think a ridge vent alone is enough... And, I've also had squirrel problems. Need metal covers over everything. Sigh.
THAAANK YOU!!! Regretably you do not work in-around Toronto area. Tha way you do business gives one the feeling of working with ethics, integrity....transparency..... Thanks!
This video it was so cool and I so much love it a lot,can you be my mentor, am from Nigeria and i have been on house roofing 2 years so i think that i need someone that is much far beyond my experience in house roofing to teach me more
Hey Great video! Great presentation! Not too much information and clearly explained everything necessary.. PROBLEM.... Malarkey brand was purchased by Mr Roof, and are garbage. They sell their roofs in-part by stating they make their own shingles because they now own Malarkey. Other than that, if you provided a better product and were in my house, I’m sold! I actually outline these terms in a pamphlet using the exact same picture I provide so they can look it over and can follow along when I come out to talk about what I can do for them.
Thanks for checking out the video. I haven’t heard anything about Malarkey being purchased by anyone. I’ve installed them for 12+ years and only experienced the quality of them getting better over the years.
@@jaychatfield9937 do you have a news story or press release to prove that? Like I said I’ve used them for many years and have only seen the quality go up.
Roof contractor charges meaning , Labor Minimums ,Heat vents & air cond labor and Electrical Labor? Didn’t know if the heat vents and air-conditioning labor was to cover the air conditioning and the heat vents on house ? Thanks
It is somewhat dependant on the region. It is required in some areas down south along the coasts. It it not required here in South Dakota and I personally don't feel it's necessary but it won't hurt anything to use them on the gables as well.
Yes, certain parts should be replaced such as the flashings, pipe boots etc. Soffits are on the underside of the roof and do not need to be replaced during the roof replacement unless there's a ventilation issue.
@@YetiRoofing No, I just want to replace the drip edge on one side of the house. This is my mom's house. She is eighty. A few years ago, she had a new roof installed, but they left the old metal drip edge original to the house (early 1970s). It is all rusty and looks hideous.

@@luisteodoro5327 thank you very much, I was thinking that also but was sure if there other methods that more easy, but I can see that your method is a lot more durable. I was thinking of adding Boards to the hole and adding 2x4 under from the inside so I don’t have to do any cutting, what do you think of that methods? Or some code doesn’t allow that?
Technically no but if you ever plan on doing your roof again yourself or want to be nice to the next guy, then yes. The shingles and the ice and water shield overtime almost become one and they are very difficult to remove the shingles when they are stuck to the ice and water shield. With that said, 99% of contractors do not put felt paper over the ice and water because it’s just an additional expense.
They’re all very similar. The only difference would be is if you are installing a certain brand of shingles to use the same brand underlayment for possible extended warranty.
Very clear, uncomplicated, and important information. Don’t discount your salesmanship. Your honesty and integrity are key sales tools.
Thank you for the kind words!

It's always good to have a refresher. I use that diagram for training anyone I hire on the basics of roofing.
Great video!
Very good. Thanks. Would you be willing to do a follow-up on this video and include a few more roofing terms?
Do you have any in particular you're wondering about?

Could you explain what Trusses & Eves are? All the other terms
Trusses are the structural framing of your roof. Eaves are the portion at the bottom of the trusses. Your gutters hang from the eaves, if that helps.
Very educational indeed.
Can you talk about soffit vent vs gable vent. Thanks
I will in another video. Thanks for watching.
Should starter shingles be placed along the gable edges as well?
It is somewhat dependant on the region. It is required in some areas down south along the coasts. It it not required here in South Dakota and I personally don't feel it's necessary but it won't hurt anything to use them on the gables as well.

Is it normal to ask for certain parts to be replaced before an entire roof replacement, such as soffits (#17?)?
Yes, certain parts should be replaced such as the flashings, pipe boots etc. Soffits are on the underside of the roof and do not need to be replaced during the roof replacement unless there's a ventilation issue.
Can you tell me what a hip roof is? I assume that means not cut up. Just two different sides that come together at the ridge.
Do you have any tips for removing drip edge on an existing roof when the drip edge is under ice and water shield? I just can't get it unstuck.

Where did you get the image from?
Question: if I have the ice and water barrier on the eaves do place the starter shingles on top of the ice and water barrier?
Yes, the starter shingles go on top of the ice & water shield so the field shingles can stick directly to the starter shingles. Great question!
