“Tar is not a problem solver” I love it! I HATE that everyone smears tar on roof leaks!! It makes everything harder when you go to take it up and repair it properly. This is a perfect little repair for a simple problem, I woulda done it a little different but this works the same way
Yeah I like to see that step by step method trying to after the roofs already on how you would repair that whole side there's three sides it's boxed in but I need to fix
Love the channel man, as a roofing company owner I hate to see this stuff, but it also makes me want to better on every job, we have all made mistakes, but fixing them and being upfront is the most important thing. Integrity is lacking which is why I started my company, love your videos, keep it up, I'm gonna start some soon!
All right congrats to you man? I've been roofing 17 years. The last 3 I've been on my own. No better feeling than building your own business. Let me know when you get some videos out.
Integrity sure is, I am on my 3rd leak where the roof is not properly flashed, it is 6 years old and supposed to have a 50 year warranty behind it. First leak appeared after 2 weeks and they took absolutely no ownership of the issue, charged me an additional 3500 to put a cap on my chimney, which they insisted was the cause. I fought the to reflash the chimney in the process and they did a cut and whack job so badly a 6th grader might have done better. What a joke
Dang - Just came across where you mentioned trying to get to 5k subscribers - Your content and narration is good, bordering on great. I am amazed that you have not reached that yet. As for the other video of how to do flashing - I am hoping you made it and will search for it. (Did you do a magnetic hammer giveaway? I have seen your other repair vids and makes me want to get one but cannot justify it as I do not nail enough.)
I would like to know how to flash against a brick wall for metal roofing. I have learned about the leglet (?) way but not enough videos showing how to do this. Thx for your help and time.
If you could make a video of how to flash a chimney and where can anyone buy the metal flashing. Also which roof sealant do you recommend. Good details and very helpful video thank you!
I’d like to see a video on how to put the flashing/rubber boot around a vent pipe and an electrical mast., the a-z version. For the electrical mast, could you also show how to do it if it’s a reroof and the lines are connected? Not even sure if it’s possible. Good video.
There should be an older one from a couple years ago I did. I'm not sure how much was shown throughout though. I plan on making a sample board with various different things to show how to videos. it's getting pretty cold here in Central Indiana so we're starting to slow down on new roof and stalls. I'll have more time to do the how to videos. Thanks!
Our house may have this beat. Our house was built with wood tri-members supporting the brick, brick was installed before any through wall flashing was done to extend over the wood members back to the sheathing. Roofer came out to do the roof and just threw up some counter flashing at that area with a ton of caulk. Worked for a few months. Now we have leaks all over and our builder is going to have to pull all the brick to add the through wall flashing.
You did a great job man, I was wondering about the back side of that extension you put in (the left side) and you hit it with the caulk at the end and answered my question. I've got a channel of my own on here I'm growing and I like seeing other folks shooting interesting content and growing their own channels, keep up the good work and stay steady at it, you'll be HUGE on youtube before you know it. You've got just the right mixture of knowledge, without coming across as a know it all.
Keys on the shingles are not offset in waterways, yeah I agree step flash side walls, I used to use a good metal business to customize metals for back and side walls..
Had to look you up to see your business rating - 5/5 stars!!! Already expected that you would get good reviews - and well earned. Can I assume you or your estimator is BM? Do you do flat roofs or trouble shoot those?
Owens Corning Duration, decent shingles. I find the Oakridge actually seals better against the stone face rather than the Surenail strip of smooth fabric. Surenail holds the nails better sure, but much easier to break the seal. Owens Corning is the only brand I install in Southern-Ontario. I've patched more IKO and BP roofs than I'll ever be able to remember.
@@GrandRoofingInc The only available asphalt shingle products in my area are OC, GAF, BP, & IKO. I was in Austin, Texas earlier this year to help some friends re-roof their house and we used OC Oakridge and I immediately noticed that they are thinner than the Oakridge in Canada. Which makes sense due to the snow and ice glacier effect we get here that slowly grinds the stone face off. We don't have any hail rated asphalt products in this part of Canada because we don't get the type of hail to warrant that save for once or twice in a decade.
I have a thing I do and don't know if there even is another way .it's a corrugated metal roofing system .see I did standing seam for commercial company for years and everything has a wrap well coragated metal .doing a dormer when dormer in middle of roof .valley don't reach bottom..what I do is snap line where 6 inch or what ever reveal and that becomes point of measure. Right at bottom of valley line made . I then cut steel sheet to that line at angle .some going underneath and some starting angle cut for valley. Just wounding if there a different way
I would love to send you a picture of what was just done with mine & I had him bring his men back and fix it , but it looks the same and ridiculous -I’m not going to have them come back and be here when they think that looks right. Everybody I’ve shown photo said that wasn’t installed properly. I have old lapboard siding. Between the windows above my front porch is where it looks ridiculous 😢😢😢
I'm old fashioned from old school and still like woven valley and if colder will use the cut but there this way other contractors use by running shingle up valley and then butting the shingles to that .how do you prefer your valley
I prefer Texas valley I believe it's called. The lower ridge section gets roofed first across the valley. Then the other section you crack a line up the valley lay a shingle on the line and but your shingles to the corner of that shingle you laid in the valley. It looks good lays and seals good, causing a channel for the water to run down. I'm not a fan of closed cut valley. They can be done but don't forget to cut the top corners. By the way we usually always lace the bottom row of any valley. We also take into consideration slightly if there are different sized sections with different pitches causing more runoff on one then another.
It would be nice a video on flashing. My roof is less than a year old and during windy days I've seen a few flashings pieces falling from the roof. I'm trying to learn how is done correctly so I can take care of it myself.
Did you ever make those videos on flashing? I am putting 2 sheds already built but built to mate together. I need to know the best way to flash the mating wall. So Arch. Shingle to Wood T-11 siding is my mate?
@@GrandRoofingInc For the first, Shingle is not used anymore for anything other than "Not so important if it will blow of or leak". What we have is SBS 5500 or PVC 1.5mm (Except from strip-folded sheet metal or concrete tiles) and for that we are required to DO AT LEAST 30cm under a wall or a "obsticle" so that rain or snow will not push trough and this will be welded with fire or hot welder. Your kind of wall flashing with the sheep metal under the shingle has been banned in SBS 5500 since the 1990's. I may be a bit wrong but i have done flatroofs for 15 years now. I will se if i can get a hold of a "flatroof warrenty book" in english and send to you to look at. But if we do a tile roof we have almost the same rules, 30 cm under a wall or obsticle and after that a new sheep metal under fasad or cut into a tile wall. Flashing on a old sheep metal is a big NONO because of condensation. I like your videos but for the most part i think "Why not do it with a hotwelded material like SBS 5500 or PVC".
Let's see some pictures and most good shingle brands have 120mph wind warranty and if you know anything about tile youd know there extremely fragile and not good for environments that have extreme heat and cold in summer and winter they crack shingles stand and seam glue down flat roofing are the best roofing systems out there and PVC welded roofs are trash but I also do those kinds to so I can talk with knowledge behind it never talk down to your fellow roofers we need to help each other perfect are craft I work on multi million dollar projects all year round and I guarantee my roofs would pass with flying colors have pics to back it up to
@@aurorasplawn5024 Just saying that Sweden and US have a huge difference in rules and kind of materials on roofs. It was not ment to be "Ahh we make everything so much better". Concrete tiles in sweden have a 30 years warrenty "Frost cracking and paint" and 30 years for the underlaying membrane. For flatroofs done with PVC or SBS we are forced to order a "Wind load calculation" that will make sure the roof will not fly off in storms that occure in sweden. Also in sweden you can leave a 15 years Waterproofing guarantee that will cover "ALL" damages if the roof leaks within 15 years (This is a insurance and will never pay anything) but it looks good on paper. That said i like Grand Roofing's videos and my comment was just to point out the difference between different countries.
@@aurorasplawn5024 Here is the link to one of the "rule" books we need to follow to be able to hand out the "15 years best warrenty" on sbs tatskiktsgarantier.se/upload/pdfs/tg-riktlinjer-2021-web-exponerade.pdf It is in swedish but maby would be fun to check out anyway
I just had may roof done and they cut my siding to place the flashing. Tons of caulking, I think it looks horrible but he keeps telling me that this is standard. My house is 31 years old and still has the original masonite siding. I would like to see what flashing should look like next to masonite siding. I live in MN if that makes a difference. Thank you!!
Boy, I wish you could come take a look at my roof (I'm in St Louis, MO, a bit out of your range, unfortunately). I have a leak in my roof in this exact situation. After watching this video, I got up on my roof today and checked out the flashing as best I could. Honestly, I think the guys who did my roof installed the flashing correctly. I'm stumped as to why it still leaks, and so are they.
do you have videos on installing metal roofs and what should be priceing so you know your not getting riped off in wayne county michigan ps: i need to do my garage and house we just bought thankyou
One of the biggest causes of water damage is people going overboard on the caulk to try to keep water out and not allowing the water a chance to drain out when it inevitably gets behind the caulk. I'd much rather have a roof, window, siding, etc that allows the water to drain out when it does get in than risking water still getting in but being left with nowhere to escape. Wood can last a long time when its able to dry out after getting wet but when its not able to dry out it will rot in no time
This installer knows what he's doing / and I can tell he's been installing for years / the biggest bummer with ( most ) roofing companies is that the person that comes out for the bid is normally the owner / or someone that has a lot of knowledge with roofing / and here is where (most) of the problems come into play / the installers that come out have the least knowledge / and if there NOT supervised your not going to get the job you were sold / and let me be clear / that is NOT the same with every roofing company / (some) have great installers / and you can tell right away on how good they are as to how booked up they are / my advice is to find a roofing company that is real booked up and just get in line / always do your homework with some referrals / if they need a Licence in your state / look it up on line, it's not that hard / and in California where I am / the Law is to ONLY give a Contractor 10% down on ANY project. I'm a Gutter Contractor / and I know the California Laws.
I do agree with everything you stated but I will caution on the side of finding someone extremely backlogged. I personally am not trying to backlog that far anymore due to the constant increase in material cost. I don't find it fair to Schedule the install that far out and either I take a hit on inflated costs or the homeowner gets a surprise. As long as the homeowner and contractor are clear on that, it can be a good indicator.
Hi Brian... as a homeowner I've learned so much from your videos. I was wondering what your expert opinion might be on FLASHING on 2nd story sidewall. OK to re-use good existing or replace? Getting quotes that say replace, other quotes say existing is good for re-use. Big differences in cost. 25yr old house... Going from original 3-tab shingles to OC Duration. Original vinyl siding is sidewall material. House is in New England. Google was just as divided. Would love your thoughts on this? Don't know if this is a corner trying to be cut or if it's really not necessary on first re-roof of this house's life. Thanks for educating us!
I use a grinder and cut out the mortar joints and break the counter flashing into the mortar joint, not a fan of the one piece counter flashing like they have on this home.
Im not far from the kokomo area ive been installing for about 5 yrs would love an opportunity to learn from you if u ever needed any part time help i have pictures of some of the roofs ive done if youd like to see maybee atleast give your opinion on my work
Haha I had seen that video! Once when i went out of town to visit friends, they had a leaky window so I made a flashing kick out out of their old license plate. Josh bigger always has banquets though!!
Most think hammer means tradesman. Although they don’t really know how much we’re doing that is engineering the right way for them to have best done in our knowledge and skills..
Sealants are for aesthetics, not for keeping out water, they start to degrade as soon as they're exposed to the atmosphere and uv radiation. There should be a licensing process to buy tar, every moron with a truck and ladder use it as a fix all in place of actual knowledge. I like the accordion corner flashing and use it as often as I can, but always leave a dog leg on my flashing. Thanks 🙈🙉🙊
I was taking care of the leak before we got rain for the guy. Did not charge him a penny, wasn't redoing his whole roof. Yes whoever did the roof originally was missing flashing and some of what they did was wrong.
@@GrandRoofingInc Wasn't knocking you at all. I was just pointing something else the previous roofer disregarded. I appreciate your videos. Sorry if you took it the wrong way. Thanks 🙈🙉🙊
No you're fine I didn't take it bad. Just wasn't sure if you heard in the video that I wasn't charging and was just taking care of the issue at hand. I didn't mean for it to sound bad back to you. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I would like to see u use ice and water like u should, I know we all think we know it all , but to me unless in a high wind area all shingles should only have 4 nails, all shingles should be stepped, unless it’s a special shingle that fits together like a lego piece lol. Anyway you content is good, but I believe that all penetrations throw a roof should have ice and water on the sides and top, what do u 🤔. I do flat roofing too, and I watch a lot of Zack from Veteran
Get that step by step nothing I'm doing a brick chimney the roofs probably 22 years old and I think I screwed it up I didn't do it that way when I flashed it
Why have they not invented roofing material and parts that just works seamless. All these roofing techniques seem kinda Mickey Mouse. You would think in 2021 we would have better products for roofing that just got into place without having to patch this and that.
I would love to see videos on flashing walls/chimneys, especially on vinyl siding.
Likewise
Same.....would love to see a video like this showing it done properly.
Ditto

I personally am not trying to backlog that far anymore due to the constant increase in material cost. I don't find it fair to Schedule the install that far out and either I take a hit on inflated costs or the homeowner gets a surprise. As long as the homeowner and contractor are clear on that, it can be a good indicator.
How to - definitely !
"Tar is not a roof flashing product"
do those vids
Random question. U have probably used all kinds of different tin snips what brand have u found to be the best?
Midwest
I'd love to have a good video on wall/corner flashing to show the new guys, I'm many things but a great teacher I am not haha
Hi Brian... as a homeowner I've learned so much from your videos. I was wondering what your expert opinion might be on FLASHING on 2nd story sidewall. OK to re-use good existing or replace? Getting quotes that say replace, other quotes say existing is good for re-use. Big differences in cost. 25yr old house... Going from original 3-tab shingles to OC Duration. Original vinyl siding is sidewall material. House is in New England. Google was just as divided. Would love your thoughts on this?
Don't know if this is a corner trying to be cut or if it's really not necessary on first re-roof of this house's life.
Thanks for educating us!
Myself / I would always use NEW metal / I'm a Licenced Contractor out of California and I just like to do it right the first time.
Purple goecell 3500 or flexseal is what we use good shit
Do it I want to learn more
I use a grinder and cut out the mortar joints and break the counter flashing into the mortar joint, not a fan of the one piece counter flashing like they have on this home.
Thank you Scottish John
Putting Edge flange on the edge of a flat roof

I don’t want to remove siding !!

Im not far from the kokomo area ive been installing for about 5 yrs would love an opportunity to learn from you if u ever needed any part time help i have pictures of some of the roofs ive done if youd like to see maybee atleast give your opinion on my work
Where do you live?
@@GrandRoofingInc i live in laketon indiana its a small town near north manchester and wabash
I know right where that's at, I've driven through there on the way to a friend's up north.
Do have an email or facebook i could send some pictures of my work etc
Do the videos
I'm glad you're s fan of tar, since you get to work with it so often 🤣
BDR makes his step flashing with Banquets. First he drinks it.
Haha I had seen that video! Once when i went out of town to visit friends, they had a leaky window so I made a flashing kick out out of their old license plate. Josh bigger always has banquets though!!
Our face plate like that we dont 2 piece it we bring it down around the cornerwith step and counter.
Most think hammer means tradesman. Although they don’t really know how much we’re doing that is engineering the right way for them to have best done in our knowledge and skills..
Tar is a roof flashing product for the right system😉
I want it bring it
Sealants are for aesthetics, not for keeping out water, they start to degrade as soon as they're exposed to the atmosphere and uv radiation.
There should be a licensing process to buy tar, every moron with a truck and ladder use it as a fix all in place of actual knowledge.
I like the accordion corner flashing and use it as often as I can, but always leave a dog leg on my flashing.
Thanks 🙈🙉🙊
dude, Every roof cant be the worst roof ever...
Although that front part is small, there should still be a piece of pan flashing, and you didn't do that🤔🧐
Thanks 🙈🙉🙊
I was taking care of the leak before we got rain for the guy. Did not charge him a penny, wasn't redoing his whole roof. Yes whoever did the roof originally was missing flashing and some of what they did was wrong.
@@GrandRoofingInc Wasn't knocking you at all. I was just pointing something else the previous roofer disregarded.
I appreciate your videos.
Sorry if you took it the wrong way.
Thanks 🙈🙉🙊
No you're fine I didn't take it bad. Just wasn't sure if you heard in the video that I wasn't charging and was just taking care of the issue at hand. I didn't mean for it to sound bad back to you. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I would like to see u use ice and water like u should, I know we all think we know it all , but to me unless in a high wind area all shingles should only have 4 nails, all shingles should be stepped, unless it’s a special shingle that fits together like a lego piece lol. Anyway you content is good, but I believe that all penetrations throw a roof should have ice and water on the sides and top, what do u 🤔. I do flat roofing too, and I watch a lot of Zack from Veteran
Show us
Coated high tensile steel flashings are far superior to aluminum all day long!
👍 flash a chimney
you dont charge him because you dont want to be responsible lol ...
Shame u don't use lead it's far better and can be dressed round corners easier
Lead Boots can be good but you need to be cautious in certain areas! Around here the squirrels chew them to pieces.
Get that step by step nothing I'm doing a brick chimney the roofs probably 22 years old and I think I screwed it up I didn't do it that way when I flashed it
9:44 would this tool help you for that purpose? I just saw it on another channel: ua-cam.com/video/v_tFw9kevJ0/v-deo.html
most out there would charge 200 bucks
Dont have a seem there that's a problem,that needs a whole new roof.that flat tin was not a proper patch
Why have they not invented roofing material and parts that just works seamless. All these roofing techniques seem kinda Mickey Mouse. You would think in 2021 we would have better products for roofing that just got into place without having to patch this and that.
bro, some gloves!
Too many commercials
