Why did I have to plow through a pile of shit to get recommended this? Thanks for an outstanding, clearly presented video. YT could've saved me some real time if it recommended this first.
You are a genius! At 3:30 of the video you mentioned that you are using these Slant back vents as intake vents, this is the intake vent solution that I was looking for. The real problem is that my end unit townhouse has 3 gable ends (sides) and no soffits. These slant back roof vents I think are perfect, they are special shaped with 9 inch opening and lots of small louvres that we can mount on the lower part of the gable above the insulation. As well, I can color match and paint them to match the colour of the siding. You mount the vents on the lower roof to help vent the attic but that won't work where I live coz they would be cover up with the amount of snow that we get, so I have to mount them on the side of the lower gable BUT not high like a Gable Vent.
Thank you for your comment. I understand your concerns when it comes to snow. In your case, install the slant back vents just add a 2 ft long diverter about 12inches above the vent tucked under the shingles similar to what is used on the roof above the outside a.c. unit. This will stop the snow from building directly above the top side of the vents. Make sense?
The only thing you digest include was which vent manufacturer you used but I think I found the manufacturers here in this video, thanks you for your help. ua-cam.com/video/viTiWMol0XM/v-deo.html
I just called GAF to see if I could use these as intake vents, they said NO! They have created a product that goes near the bottom of the roof that runs the length, like ridge vent, it’s continuous. I’m concerned a vent designed to exhaust air, make pull moisture in since it’s not designed for that. Your installation video was top notch, I subscribed and liked it so not trying to be disagreeable.
I think it's more of what you prefer to call them, they both serve the same purpose. You can call it a exhaust vent just install it near the bottom. Hence the vent will do whatever mother nature forces it to do. Thank you for your comment.
I could not convince my roofers to cut this circular hole. They cut out the entire square you cut shingles from. My roof leaks but they say it could not possibly be from their cuts and that this video is wrong, they are actually doing it right in their minds, period.
Sorry to hear this. Everyone is a roofer until a real roofer comes around. This video is not wrong. We've installed 100s of thousands of these vents and they don't leak. There are times where we too cut squared holes depending on the circumstances. I feel maybe your shingles or seal wasn't installed correctly. Even if the hole is triangle shaped if the shingles/seal are correctly installed it still shouldn't leak. Feel free to call us for free guidance on identifying your roof leak. Good luck thank you for the comment.
Extremely well articulated video, Bravo!

Nicely done. This is how to do it. Takes extra time to do all the roof cement, but it works and lasts.
Top notch video!!! Thank you for making it.
you are a true professional

I wish when you post a video that you would name the parts used and where to get the part. Maybe you get bonus points from MFG.

Great video! Thanks for sharing. One question: How long should the rubber gasket metal screws be for step #8?
1 1/2" screws work great
thank you

@@AurumRoofing I know u are doing it correctly. You should see the big squares they cut.
Sorry for your troubles.
@@AurumRoofing I know. Its a shame. But I sure appreciate being able to find a great video to explain what is going on!
Sadly, I "did not finish the video, my wife saw what I was watching and said "nope, not on the roof, just no!" Sheesh you have one mild stroke.......
Excellent video 🙌🙌
