I'm a mechanic now, but I used to roof back in the day, its great seeing these videos now as a refresher because I can't afford 15,000 for a new roof. Keep up the great work Dylan.
I'm 52 and been roofing since I was 16 or 17. I still hate steep roofs. Hated them then, hate them now. We used to roof with no harnesses back in the day, did everything off of roof jacks. Love your videos.
Honestly I just like watching these pov videos while I go to sleep 😂😂 something about watching someone do hard labor is really soothing and makes super tired 😂😂
I have done many roofs over the last 40 yrs,took alot of pride in my work because it was hard work,but after watching others do this type of work,I have finally realized it's a crappy hard way to make a living and I should have charged more money for doing it.
2x4 nailed on second row and a 2x10 nailed to that. Creates an L bracket..stops anything from falling. Move your tralier around to throw each side in. No tarps needed. Just cover up flower beds with plywood for the odd piece that falls. 2 guys spaced apart correctly to get your bottom 4's on ladders.. each runner gets 9 foot ice..4 starters and 8 shingles, 2 jacks and a plank.. bottom 4 on in less then 30 minutes. After that 1 guy runs underlay while the 2nd guy gets the course ready..
Got anxiety watching this. I think the highest I want to be off the ground is my shed roof, and that kinda frightens me too. But it needs shingles and I’m cheap and don’t want to pay someone to do it. However, when the house needs new shingles I’ll gladly let someone else do it 😅
All kinds of respect out to you roofers ! I couldnt take the heat or that one fall off the roof. On those hots days it should be mandatory to have a good stiff breeze.
@@Average_Roofer i know. Ive watched a couple. Roofing videos just started to come on my timeline. I liked the first video i seen so i subscribed to you. Just letting you know how I felt about the video ending without seeing the finished product ect. Maybe if it gets too hot in the future and you want to not wear the gopro, you can maybe take pictures or a quick video at the end so that we can see the finished product. Maybe you could look into other attachment options or stands where you could set the gopro up in a spot an it film from aside
took me a sec to realize it was BDR there to... hahh but we were not watching one of his videos.. funny seeing him in another video, someone elses.. and actually working hahah jk..good stuff
i roof have been for awhile.. i dunno if i could trust those kinda jacks, haa i like the other kind not the ones with the slant in them like u had.. i forgot what the others were called, and what i hate is everyones always about go go go speeeeed get her done, and its like wow slow down i mess up more if i try going to fast.. and hey aint u getting paid by the hr in most jobs anyways lol
Mike Erb dome it this way for year. I use less nails than most guys but I’m light and always wear a rope. Plus nobody goes on my side but me. I usually work alone. For most, you are absolutely correct though!
So I'm wondering about my roof I have a smaller colonial house that has aluminum siding. It has two roofs, the side roof meets the upper level of the house. There is an aluminum edge that hangs over the top of the shingles where it meets the upper level of the house. How do I go about doing that? Is there like a strip I need to put down like when you start the shingles or does the paper just go there and you place shingles under it some how?
Pixel2 Xl if you are tying into a wall carefully remove the existing shingles. Under the L flashing you see on the roof there are small flashings called step flashings. As you shingle up you always tuck under the step flashing. I did a step flashing video a while ago. I’ll tag the link here
You guys don’t like leading edge starters? I know there kinda small. Only problem with flipping a shingle rock side down is they wear out between the shingle joints. I see it all the time when we tear-off jobs done that way. Wouldn’t rock side up be better unless your concerned about the tar line not sealing.
@@Average_Roofer Question for you Dylan do you guys not get rooftop delivery? you'd save money, at least where I am you would, its 35$ rooftop delivery, so pay the 35$ have them unloaded onto the roof in 10 minutes, rather then have 4 guys lug them for an hour or 2 and have to pay their wages.
Tarps before the ladder dildo come on buddy make life easier not harder! Keep on rocking dude, been roofing for 6 years and wouldn't trade it for anything, other then a new back and some knees haha
Pretty sure there are starter shingles that are supposed to be used per manufacturer installation instructions. Can't believe whole full sized laminate shingles were used for starter.
That height and pitch is exactly why I don't do roofing. Got dizzy just watching this lol
As a roofer, i HATE doing steep roof's, it's stressful work and it takes a lot out of you. Currently doing a house with a roof pitch of "8.

Happy to be a flat roofer. Working on slopped roofs is so difficult. Kudos to you bud.

Its called asmr. And it is relaxing.

This is so cute

Low key, you can carry any ladder straight right off the ladder rack. Much love brother, props to propping that ladder up the way you did tho.
Good job. Keep it up!!
if i wasnt deathly afraid of heights, this be kinda cool job to do
good old crumbly rips
Great Video 👍
Heh I’ll stick to my flat roofs

On a 12 x 12 right now. Gotta love roofing 🤙🏾
POV roofing is badass!
Wm. D. Nelson shooting a better video tomorrow!
Was a little disappointed the video ended without seeing the finished product.
But i enjoyed the video!
Robert Harper there is another video, of a different roof on my channel (from start to finish)

Where's the underlayment paper over top the ice and water shield ?

Mike Henry he’s still a piece of shit 😂

Safety first! 👌🏼
There are currently people on my roof

Bad ass video 📸
Good ol cornflake rip
Dilly dilly I love ya!
Step 1: Fully extend an aluminum extension ladder right next to power lines 🤣
That’s a telephone cable. Learn before you try to trash talk someone 😂
@@Average_Roofer Whatever, Dildo. That's how I do it.
If I were 5i would be using 10 Penny's for those brackets bud lol
Mike Erb dome it this way for year. I use less nails than most guys but I’m light and always wear a rope. Plus nobody goes on my side but me. I usually work alone. For most, you are absolutely correct though!
@@Average_Roofer yea man I usually only put 2 10 Penny's I've had to many close calls but still doing it 12 years later lol

@@Average_Roofer wow thank you so much man this is great, about to watch all your videos for more! You guys are the best damn roofers haha! 👍
Pixel2 Xl better video are in the making. More tutorial and hands on learning style videos. Stay tuned. Thanks for watching!
I hear joshua!!!! BDR!!! Miss that guys dirty shorts. 😂
If you follow the stagger opposite of the way it was put on you would be a beast.
Ladder standoff be helpful

12:16 =) part of the roofing experience.
I live for the steep ones man anybody can roof the gravy
No way your not Amish
I recommend that you use Sponge when you work at home not flat.
Dude, why the fuck doesn't Josh have ladder racks?! They are NECESSARY.
I use carpet on the evetroth
How many trucks do you have ?
Just one
Nice video Dildo. Keep up the good work!
SNOWMAN66 thanks buddy!
Tarps before the ladder dildo come on buddy make life easier not harder! Keep on rocking dude, been roofing for 6 years and wouldn't trade it for anything, other then a new back and some knees haha
Is that gun better or the same as metabo?
You guys need a gutter guy lol
derek mcdougal no labourers. Full clean up at the end of the day.
Fuxk that I'd rather have scaffolding
You never did the pitch hopper video dillywhacker
12:15… almost died
5:59 bnn
If you ain't hanging from your rope to stay on the roof then that is not steep... 8 /12 I'm guessing anything passed 10/12 is steep dillywacker!
Nathan Harper it’s about a 9. Had to use cushions when shingling. New shoes is the only reason I could walk it.
Get some 16's instead of ridge vent nails.
Who the fuck uses a truck strap for ladders
No underlayment?
Kirk Brown none that was existing no
Kirk Brown oh yeah we put full underlayment on all our roofs. Got too hot to wear the GoPro on the head. This video was incomplete

Why’d you quit making videos ?
