    So many including " professional roofers" don't know how to install a flashing. In fact I only watched to see if you knew and you do, good job

    I’m a property mgr that likes to get his hands dirty. This is Exactly what I needed to see/learn. Finishing up the roof of an exterior bathroom RE roof and needed this for the 2inch vent. Thanks man!🤙

    Thank you, super detailed and diligent work, thanks for explaining everything, question: so the flashing is not caulked and you only attach it with 4 nails onto the roof deck, 2 on the bottom and 2 in the mid section, no nails on top ?

    Great explanation. Only critical is not removing the pitch and sharp edge off pipe. Chance to damage boot amd not seal. Good final product overall. I understand he picked cheap plastic boot again to last only 10 years.

    One video at a time Justin you will make me a roofer yet and don't forget to figure a dumpster in to haul off your trash. I heard there a good company in your area called Greenhead, you should give them a call to setup a dumpster.

    When I had my roof replaced several years back I supplied my roofers with lead boots to put over my pvc plumbing vents. Never rot tear or split, just a spray of black paint and your good to go until the next roof goes on!

      Lead and copper boots are the best but pretty uncommon now days

    • @picklerix6162
      @picklerix6162 Рік тому +2

      Copper is probably best. Squirrels can develop a taste for lead and will chew holes in the roof jacks.

    Now I know how to correctly remove the shingles. Thanks... However, it would be better if the two rows of singles (instead of just one row) are kept underneath the rubber boot.

    That gust of wind just about took your tool apron off the roof . It would be brutal if you had to work on the other side you can hide over the ridge on that repair side .

    How would this job would change if you DID have to go into the ridge? I just followed your video and got halfway and am stumped... The distance from the ridge side of the pipe to the ridge itself is shorter than that same part of the flange/boot! Can I cut the boot or am I just out of my league? Thanks!

      You will need to take some ridge shingles off and replace them

    • @lionintu
      @lionintu Рік тому

      He didn't answer your question. Same scenario here, remove ridge shingles then bend the flap of an aluminum boot over the top and onto the other side of the Ridge. If it's rubber like in this video, you've got no choice but to cut it.

    7.5 square
    I’m about to do that and I’m just curious how I would compare to a professional roofer?

    i hate those cheap vent pipe flashings they make the rubber seal falls apart in 5 to 10 years i have expensive copper ones, but it still has same crap rubber so i just replaced the rubber seal and started adding a second seal, so it protects the first one from the sun.

      Yup! The pipe jack was shingled / or laced into the wrong course of shingles for sure. Almost as bad, is the size and quality of the pipe jack! A proper pipe jack for comp shingles should have a 5 to 6 inch side flange!! Stop buying roof supplies at the 99 cent store!!!!!

      A typical boot repair like this without rotten plywood is at least 200 dollars per boot. It goes up from there based on the roof and how much rotten wood there is
