I’m a sales rep at a metal roofing manufacturer in Tennessee. Always like finding new ways to advise customers, or just expand my knowledge from the standard methods we outline in our install guides. Love the content!
I’ve been in construction for wu years, and you just taught me a trick! Thanks, I’ll be trying the awl punch on my next steel project…makes sense and will be far faster and better!
Here you go Kyle some justice for you about using the Scratch awl to punch the metal. I used to drill! About two of three years ago I saw a video where you suggested using an awl to punch through the metal and as some of your other tips came in handy I figured "what the hell" and have never gone back to drilling. Due to damage from a stroke I no longer do as much roofing as before, but when I do I still remember many of the tricks you share in these videos. You do awesome work, never mind the know-it-alls who say this is better. Do what is right for you, and know that you helped someone improve his skills in many neat ways.
you're right, Kyle! punching the hole makes a clean hole while a drill bit leaves burs, and, like you said, it can walk a little. If you have a nice sharp hard punch, it definitely leaves a clean hole. I think it's nice to look up on something like that under a porch and see nice straight rows of screws also!
It's always your attention to detail that makes you guys some of the best craftsman! I can hardly wait for Paul (Mr. PostFrame) Marshall to start my build, 60x120x16 shop/man cave!
I like your work a lot - precise and well thought out ahead of time. The designers should have raised the roof of the porch another 6 inches to be one plain with the house roof - now snow and water can get in against the house.
The way you operate by spending the time to ensure your framing is square, level and plumb from the start, pays dividends for every step that comes later. Especially trim work.
Since you guys have plenty of time to chat about the materials being installed, it would be great to hear a little more about their long-term characteristics. For example, how well does this metal roof do in hailstorms? How does it compare in total cost versus a shingle roof, which is common in residential builds in your Illinois area?
I have those thin recessed lights in my bedroom, hall and Bath when I rebuilt my mobile home. I like the make up boxes! They allow you to plug the light in after you make up the wires in the box. Ideally also, you can replace the light without tearing into the make up box again. The ones I bought have 1,500 lumen all the way up to 5,000 lumen, so I can pick the color of my lighting. I think I ended up setting mine on 3,000, and you don't have to worry about where they fall when it comes to sheetrock ceilings because the lights I bought are thin enough to allow me to mount right on a ceiling joist and still still sit flush, and they have two strong spring clips that hold them up! I think I got the Halo brand from Home Depot, and they have 3" and 6"; I used a couple of 3" over my bathroom vanity to get an even lighting over the sink and counter top area. Really nice lighting option; also, the Halo brand has threads on the pigtail from the box and the pigtail on the light has a nut to secure them after you plug them in. It insures they get a good connection and you don't get arching and a fire down the road because of a loose connection! Great lighting option, I think.
"We just punch, it works good" is probably the most unintentionally funny phrase AND the best life philosophy rolled into one. RR spit'n life lessons hahaha
Have enjoyed all your videos. Need some help. I am in the market for a new laser. I need one that works inside, outside, and with a slope. I have been searching but I have one that gets me excited. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks a mil...
Hey Kyle or anyone else watching. On that first piece you cut then bent for a 2/12 pitch against the house. Right before you installed the facia cover metal, on the opposite side, you cut a little square notch. What was that notch for? Thanks
It's very good to watch your recordings, if I may say something, it would be nice if in the episodes there were a few minutes of your working time, for example, from a break or casual conversations. Knowledge and skills are interesting, especially if you combine them with light entertainment, and after all, a break is also an important element of every job. It's my suggestion but the videos are great I love watching and best regards, keep it up.
the fact of the matter is that it goes faster and is more accurate to punch it than drill the steel. ppl can say what they want, punching is faster and more accurate
@@joemisner1539 NICE!!! I just slowed the video down at 7:10 and saw the part number. Guess I will be picking up a few of these the next time I go to Menards.. Thanks!!!!
While I’m not a fan of white roofs it doesn’t absorb heat like darker colors. That combined with a well insulated and air tight envelope you may be able to heat that home with a hairdryer, and cool it with an ice cube! 😂
@rrbuildings , what work boots are you rockin? Mine are dead but they hurt my knees.. in the vid the other day I noticed yours had kurfs in the sole and looked like they could be a comfortable boot on concrete and dirt sites all day. Thoughts?
Hey Kyle...the steel application you used for the ceiling on the porch, can that be done over top of an existing wooden ceiling or would I need to remove the existing ceiling first?
@@srchubz looks better than the usual moisture barrier used under metal roofing, for sure! I could see a little black on the bottom of it where it wrapped over the face of the sub facia. Really looked thicker than felt paper. I liked it!
you mentioned that your porch roofing didn't exactly match the building roofing, the ribs. But it looks like it does at the start but gradually falls out of line. Why?
Greg should get a nice bonus for coming up with that 90° bend to go into the j channel. Hell of an idea. I guess some homeschooled kids actually do learn a thing or two. 😂 Also, what pencil is that you're using? Looks far superior to traditional contractor pencils
So 1 problem I see with your porch ceiling to wall detail: When the homeowner takes the water hose or pressure washer to clean up dirt and spider webs (every porch gets this way) and applies water to this detail, water can make it's way behind the exterior wall covering. I understand why you do it the way you do, for ease of install, but when this issue is considered I think it would be worth to explore another method. I'm still trying to come up with a better solution....
Just a few observation.. That house is sealed up so tight, it's not a house anymore. It's a submarine. Also, with that short gap between the main roof to porch, I'm left wondering about birds and wasp.
I watched you put this roof on. It was my first video from your channel. You said the concrete was not flat. You measured everything with a laser off the highest (or lowest point) for everything else. That confused me. I like your channel, and I will continue to watch. I also watch Mr. Post frame. But when you built the mezzanine in the big place, you measured from the bottom not the top. I am not criticizing, just confused. Glen
All those openings at the end of the ribs and that end cap are perfect places for bees, moths and small birds. I don’t understand what none of them are sealed.
@@RRBuildings Understood. It did seem you were just a tiny bit off but glad to hear you are getting better. I was concerned because I think of you and Greg as Supermen. Stay away from that Kryptonite! Looking forward to more videos.
@@not2intoutube Ok, let's see the end result. I install roofing in a different technology, together with wind insulation, roof battens, where the roofing membrane is recessed into the gutter, where excess condensation from the metal roofing is drained. The ventilation of the roof covering is also preserved
Any homeowner should feel blessed to have you two on their job site.
I was thinking the same thing.
I worked in home building for fifty years. You guys are really slick.Also liked your good language. Thanks
I would love to spend a month as an apprentice with y’all. Your work is amazing thanks for sharing your experience with us

Best metal builder great Job Kyle and Greg
Love your videos! I appreciate your attention to detail and your goal to do the job correctly! Keep the videos coming!!
It's always your attention to detail that makes you guys some of the best craftsman! I can hardly wait for Paul (Mr. PostFrame) Marshall to start my build, 60x120x16 shop/man cave!
Looks great Kyle & Greg. Well done buddies! 👍😁
A slightly more caffeinated Kyle, today. Always fun!
Kyle your attention to detail and accuracy exudes quality. You can side my house anytime bro.
Just a small tip, you should is a piece of scrap 2x4 to straighten your sheets that way you don’t risk bending the edges.
Great video, great content, great explanation of of you guys do things for the ones that don’t do this for a living like myself
I had a pole barn built by the Amish. They modified a framing nailer, to punch the holes in the metal siding.
So educational. You guys do an awesome job. Thanks for sharing.
A very interesting video thoroughly enjoyed it.
Great job professional
Very professional work. Thank you
I like your work a lot - precise and well thought out ahead of time.
The designers should have raised the roof of the porch another 6 inches to be one plain with the house roof - now snow and water can get in against the house.
Awesome job wish you were here in Piedmont SC I need a nice porch put on my house
I've put a light fixture through the center of a rib and it looks pretty good
The way you operate by spending the time to ensure your framing is square, level and plumb from the start, pays dividends for every step that comes later. Especially trim work.
Wonderful and Interesting Video. It is always what to learn. 👌👍💪

Punching seems super smart to me. Keeps the shavings from getting in between the sheets and scratching up the paint.
Great planning
nice benders, never seen them before.
Every once in awhile you should throw in a "as my grandpappy once said"
Be careful Ben, Arctic White is one of GMs hardest colors to match. Be sure and check the alternates. Great video.
at about 16:00 'I'm not sure that I like this drill too much'
Kyle how many drills do you own?
we need a count.
I am afraid to count...might mean I have to admit something
@@RRBuildings the people demand a count!
or make Greg do it!
Do you leave a gap on your drip edge for the gutter to slide under ? How do the gutter fasteners avoid hitting the drip ? Thank you !
top notch work
Slick job!!
How many nails have your stepped on that went through your feet?
"We just punch, it works good" is probably the most unintentionally funny phrase AND the best life philosophy rolled into one. RR spit'n life lessons hahaha
Удачи вам и творчества.
That is why I prefer finish carpentry, cut to fit. Still might need a board stretcher though):
I definitely prefer the bird boxes on the eaves. Not a fan of the straight angle to the outside of the facia
You ought to tape the gutter apron to the roof sheathing. Do you guys seal the underside of the end of your roof metal?
Why no enclosure strips under the roof on the porch?
What was that white bottle thing being used to fill nail holes at 17:53?
White paint to touch up the nail heads
@@joemisner1539 Is it a specific product or brand? Or just some paint they put in a bottle
Not exactly sure what brand they use but lp sells touch up kits
@@joemisner1539 Oh I didn’t know that, it does look like it is that that they’re using, thanks man!
Have enjoyed all your videos. Need some help. I am in the market for a new laser. I need one that works inside, outside, and with a slope. I have been searching but I have one that gets me excited. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks a mil...
25:16 So what's preventing that screw from leaking?
EPDM
You can run butyl tape under the trim for extra insurance.
Each screw comes with its own rubber washer which acts as a gasket.
"Dead Nuts" . . . could have saved me thousands of dollars.
Hey Kyle or anyone else watching. On that first piece you cut then bent for a 2/12 pitch against the house. Right before you installed the facia cover metal, on the opposite side, you cut a little square notch. What was that notch for? Thanks
Everyone needs a Greg
Do we need to have a permit to built the porch like this?
If Chris Pratt was a builder!

Agree, and no worries with metal shavings.
Good gosh my brain hurts. You are so intelligent. Great job
Who is running the camera?
Mark Martinez 😂😂😂
Whats the name of that metal roller bender tool?
looks like a Malco ER3?
Now we know the ribs don’t line up you need to change the title of the series to “Worst House” 😂
Ocd triggered: Kyle re-roofs the whole house
contemplating
Do u install metal porch public and much cost to for 10×12
What punch are you using? Last roof I pre-drilled the holes and it walked like crazy on me.. never doing that again...
he used a scratch awl (not sure on manufacturer)
He buys several at a time from menards. (in his older videos he did anyway)
@@joemisner1539 NICE!!! I just slowed the video down at 7:10 and saw the part number. Guess I will be picking up a few of these the next time I go to Menards.. Thanks!!!!
Kyle, what hammer are you using?
While I’m not a fan of white roofs it doesn’t absorb heat like darker colors. That combined with a well insulated and air tight envelope you may be able to heat that home with a hairdryer, and cool it with an ice cube! 😂
@rrbuildings , what work boots are you rockin? Mine are dead but they hurt my knees.. in the vid the other day I noticed yours had kurfs in the sole and looked like they could be a comfortable boot on concrete and dirt sites all day. Thoughts?
Do you need to seal the ribs/channels on the house side of the porch ceiling or is that a non-issue? I was thinking like bees or other things.
Hey Kyle. I have a really cool detail for hip cap at the eave if you would be interested? I think you would really like it.
Hey Kyle...the steel application you used for the ceiling on the porch, can that be done over top of an existing wooden ceiling or would I need to remove the existing ceiling first?
Do u install steel porch for the people
did he say dead nuts lol love it
lol yes
whatever you're laying under the metal roof, I haven't ever seen that before. What is that product, Kyle?
just looks like underlayment... maybe a synthetic?
@@srchubz looks better than the usual moisture barrier used under metal roofing, for sure! I could see a little black on the bottom of it where it wrapped over the face of the sub facia. Really looked thicker than felt paper. I liked it!
Is that the bottom or did you order white metal?
So who do you have filming now?
Why isnt drip edge under the roof underlayment?
This eas really awesome.
Kyle, are you a bit cold?
Your voice was a bit hoarse
Cheers from Sweden
sickness
you mentioned that your porch roofing didn't exactly match the building roofing, the ribs. But it looks like it does at the start but gradually falls out of line. Why?
In the UK houses are built with literally minimal or no over-hang. It's so ridiculous considering that the weather year round is s # # t!
Greg should get a nice bonus for coming up with that 90° bend to go into the j channel. Hell of an idea. I guess some homeschooled kids actually do learn a thing or two. 😂 Also, what pencil is that you're using? Looks far superior to traditional contractor pencils
Pica-dry pencil. They are awesome.
I just bought 3 of those pico pencils and I will never go back to a peasants pencil lol..
Dude, I've never worked with ribbed sheet metal in my life. Why don't you drill your pilot holes?
I cut my fingers three times watching this video.

All those openings at the end of the ribs and that end cap are perfect places for bees, moths and small birds. I don’t understand what none of them are sealed.
This is the first build I’ve seen where they did not use the closure strips under the ribs. No idea why…
Nice work 👏 love how you still do it to a T even if no one will ever see it ! My kinda work too 😊
#JESUSisALIVE
The word he said I can't.................wtf............. send this guy . back to home..................
Kyle, maybe it’s just me, but you seemed to be a bit out of breath in this video. Did you notice it yourself? All okay?
this is during a four week sickness I fought and am just getting over

Greg's awesome but I think that he was in a bad mood .
An ugly ending trims It looks unfinished, and No gutters installed why?
His gutter guy can't install the gutters until they're done with the roof snd facia. There's a process when it comes to building...
@@not2intoutube So we'll see if they do. I install the gutters before laying the sheet metal, but not always.
He addresses the gutters in the video. Trims are left long intentionally to cap them. He subcontracts his gutters so they aren’t done yet.
