This is great. Helps me to do my estimate. On a 12 sq hip roof I'm figuring a 15% field shingle waste just to be safe. So 14 sq. Figure I can return what I don't use. A roofing company wanted to bill for 16 sq. I asked how they came up with that. Never answered.
I appreciate u man im a roofing contractor owner installer and i feel the need to stick up for i cant stand the flack u get. They called u a hack that pissed me off.
man, I do roofing myself, these days with all the roofing software measuring. They have almost perfect software. I'm always within the SQ of each roof without physically measuring anything.
On the front of the house that is very complicated the way you were measuring it. And also when you were measuring the Dormer if you measure from the middle of the valley to The rake on the ends on both the front of the house and on the Dormer you will find the correct measurement.
i should make a video like that for you. there are so many factors that go into something like that. not that i care, but if i made a video like that i have a feeling i would get alot of shit!!! also with tear off are you cutting ridge vent if needed, ice and water, tarpaper, edge?
@@Lifes_Apprentice Justin I have had a couple roofing contractors that get dumpsters asking about if we would do the the tare off and if so how much per square and how much per additional layer. I have a clue on the dump fees butt no clue on the labor part of it. I think it might be a good additional business to add to my mix with the dumpsters , tree care, landscaping,, junk removal and any thing else that can make money on.
@@danahasson2892 the problem lies in what they expect from you. tear off is not too complicated but if the roof needs sheeting and made watertight they would have to work with you. in that case they may be upset with your pace. weather you were too fast, too slow... its a touchy subject. if you tear off and a thunderstorm comes and someones house get ruined who is liable. you also have to think about insurance type things. i have homeowners ask to tear off for me and always say no due to liability reasons. honestly the oney in roofing is the tearoff and prep because shingling is easy, minus the details compared to tearoff and cleanup
absolutely! i will not stop making roofing/siding videos. i will not be making as many as i did last year because i am not on the roof as much personally. what would you like to see?
@@phillipforest4949 i will make more for sure. i started this channel before i owned the dumpster business and did mostly construction type videos. now the dumpster business has taken off and i find myself pulled 10 different ways everyday and it is hard to make a solid video about any one single thing! there will be more! i want to make some videos doing zack from veteran construction new challenge videos just waiting for the right time and place! keep an eye out for those!
You are teaching me to re-roof my ranch house. Thank you. I love your videos.
That is exactly why I made the videos!! Glad to help!

Thanks! That is just the way social media is...
Glad to see some Roofing videos 👍👍 . Love the work boots lol .
i love me some crocks!
Great Video.
Though I see no one wants to include the peek hight.
You take length and divide by 2 then x by peek.
This is really cool and super helpful. Thank you very much
Glad to help!
Thank you this video is very helpful, this method helps understand the software
Glad it helped
thank you so much for sharing this video
Your welcome!
Thnaks for the video. Getting ready to do this at my house soon. How many layers can you do before you have to do tear off and start over?
Thank you!
You're welcome!
man, I do roofing myself, these days with all the roofing software measuring. They have almost perfect software. I'm always within the SQ of each roof without physically measuring anything.
Just trying to teach some old school math
What software do you recommend
What tool is this I need? I've roofed in the past, trying to help seller out since she had to replace lateral of her deceased sons house.

you can do that but that is not the proper way to find square foot of a triangle
He's wearing his crocs on the roof lmao
They are nice to wear on a roof! probably not the safest thing though
Great video Justin. Now how many layers for tare off and where is my " How To Bid TARE Off " video?

Wouldn’t the peak/base of the triangle also be 15 ? Since the edges are
Not always...
That's what I thought
How many feet make a meter?
Do we get to see another roof video?
absolutely! i will not stop making roofing/siding videos. i will not be making as many as i did last year because i am not on the roof as much personally. what would you like to see?
@@Lifes_Apprentice i like seeing your content on the channel. I’m glad we still get to see an occasional roofing video.

man I'd liek get you leads
bravo - Insurance ads 10% waste on this roof
insurance is tricky and i agree but the numbers I show are exact measurements so waste should be accounted for
where do you work?
Wisconsin
@Lifes_Apprentice do you need any roofing crews? Have a crew of 5-6 people looking for work we are in Wisconsin
