sam weaver I’ve been in the working industry my whole life. I went from an installer to customer service and now I’m in sales. Yes Roofing is my life. Sales is very easy. Never gonna get rich but you can make a decent living.
Good for you guys 👍🏽 Looks like you actually take your time to train etc and put less stress on your guys. I have an all Mexican crew and yes, they’re fast but I’d love these extra toys to help them out. No hate all props.
Ive roofed for 13 to 14 yrs and the one thing it taught me was to learn how to something else like windows or siding. Let them young guys learn them lessons. See ya n a few years on the wall.
looks like this machine is nobody used to is brand new. and inspected the harness before they put it on. on the unloading shingles not wearing any harness and when they lay down the synthetic felt not hook up to any anchor on the roof. THEY DOING A GREAT JOB. NO QUESTION ASK.
How come on all roofing videos when they show a rip off it's always just a one layer rip? Where are the 3 to for layer or the 6 to 7 layer on the flat roofs. Show that , and you get my respect. The 1 layer rips are a walk in the park, compared too.
@@1stknigh I think I saw some of the last of those get torn off nearly 10 years ago. They're few and far between now, but you do see some 2 layers here and there.
You're talking about the shingle tear off machine? The Equipter buggy is really nice. Friend of mines got a few of them. The tear off thing he had one and nobody liked it.
This is luxury roofing. We had to tote 80 pound bundles of shingles one at a time Up the ladder and place it on the roof, then go down and get another bundle and repeat until The job was finished. Plus to tear off the old shingles we used a pitch fork and had no machine whatsoever that could just pop everything up nails and all. That is pretty cool tho. And we threw the old roofing and debris off the roof on a tarp and had to lift it or throw it by hand into a dumpster so that sucked too. I wish it would have been like this when I used to roof.lol would have saved a lot of back pain.
@@davidbudy6256 as a roofer in Florida tearing off double layer 6 nail architectural shingles it absolutely will. Does a fantastic job even on roofs with dimensional lumber for decking you just gotta run it crooked down the roof so you don’t hit each board. Outside of double layer it’s fast but to much wear an tear on the user, double layers though that machine is where it’s at. *edit only if bottom layer is gonna crumble anyways, if top layer peels and bottom ain’t to bad it’s a tossup
Sorcery I say! Magical Tear Off machine flipping Shingles. Giant Robot positioning to catch Tear Off, Material slides to feed the Robot. Are these Roofer's from Outer Space, or Warlocks of some sort? They must be, those guy's had a WATER COOLER AND PROPER TOOLS! SORCERY I SAY !!!!!!! :)
Yall so extra. When I work with my father We use pitchforks to tear off the shingles. We do it in a way where it makes no mess and the shingles are easily rolled up and are able to be thrown out.
True that. California or weave if it's same pitch. I can shingle without a hook blade! Some people just would have a hissy fit if they didn't be have one just to do a crappy job that will be seen in 30+ years. Or before.
Have you tried a hook blade on an ocsilating tool? its slick. We try pretty hard not to do weaved valleys here in Maine. With the snow load and temp fluctuations they are always the first point of a roof to fail. The cut valleys last alot longer in our neck of the woods.
Good point Eric. You'll notice that we put underlayment at the peak so we could stage the shingles. Of course the rest of the underlayment was then brought up under that to properly shed water.
I was on roofs in TN, thats as brutal as I can take it. Here in South Florida? I'm not getting on a roof! And they make y'all do all kind of craziness too - you're not doing a tear off / reroof in a day.
@@notsure7874 it is brutal down here. Especially when you pair up summer time with torched roofs. We only do commercial roofs so theres no such thing as anything in one day. A person needs several summers on the roof to be able to withstand the conditions, let alone be productive within them. Not for everyone.
@@southpaw602 I was on mostly residential, some commercial roofs, but not a ton of them. They're a different animal for sure. Here I was feeling bad for Florida shinglers - forgot all about the guys torching stuff down or doing hot mop (do they even do that here?) Up "north" you see more hot mop than torch down, but no hurricane codes. I'd say that I'd rather do TPO down here, but all that white and the bright sun could make y ou go snowblind too. Screwed either way! I try to explain to friends up north that temperature and humidity isn't everything. Being closer to the equator, the sun is more intense. More rays per square inch and whatnot. 85 here feels closer to 92 there. They don't get it! I've actually been wonderiing - I see a lot of torch down here where I'd see self adhering up there (on residential, more BUR on commercial). Is SA not allowed even on residential (idk if you know res codes ...)? All I know about it is no more 3 tabs, double nail decking, 6 nail shingles, drip edge on all edges, no overhang, and cement the shingles down to the drip edge. - Oh and metal tabs for underlayment instead of plastic. I've got to do my roof probably next year (be my first roof in 5 years) and I've got a small flat I'm not sure how I can do it here. I'm not torching down anything myself. I have a hand torch for the garden, but I'm not putting fire on my roof! Torch down has always terrified me.
OK, so just how weatherproof is Deck Armor? (Of course you guys are in and out before you'd notice.) Also, what kind of shears are you cutting them with?
60FpsGoodness it depends where you live. In high heat and windy areas clay roofs are best. Not so good for the weight of snow. Shingles also install faster, lighter, they don't break and if they tear there is a something under to protect your roof because of the way shingles overlay.
he asked why houses are made of wood. and we used to use wood shingles as well, shakes. then we moved to more modern types of roofing materials. wood is plentiful here. places that use brick/slate and other types of material probably do so because they don't have a large logging industry.
@@hollywoodspirit5176 never m8nd the fines. Do it for safety. That's one of the biggest problems with osha and getting fined. People are doing it to not get fined or cause osha says to do it. You gotta have the attitude that I'm setting harness up so nobody gets hurt and we all go home at the end of the day
That brings back a lot of memories I worked for a roofer when I was younger it was one off the hardest jobs I ever did but I loved it
Roofing is a cruel way to make a living!

I’m surprised they didn’t have a snack machine and a mini fridge on the roof as well with a tent and maybe a tv to watch some football
🤣
Look at them they couldn’t handle the workout before noon everyday they would be in a hospital of heat exhaustion lol
That's funny
Roofers are diffrent breed of worker! Blood and sweat baby roof life... Groover Roofing best of the best.

The Gucci's of roofing
Damn then the crew i work on is the gods wearing LV of roofing
that plumbing flashing at 4:35 is hack shit. don't shingle over the flashing.
I was looking for this comment... must have been a new guy.
Exactly, nasty to look at lol
Seems like a very good job, you guys are making the difference, congratulations
Those roofing buggys come in handy they make the job so much easier.
I like your work....am working in florida making mulch...i'm from GUATEMALA...

Dont forget some shingles have wood and playwood had to be installed
Yeah we just did 3 layers of shingles on cedar shake tear off. Shit was brutal
Lmao!! Those are found only in a few places since most counties banned that practiced
How about wood shingle under two or three layers? That's when it gets tough.
@@1stknigh I think I saw some of the last of those get torn off nearly 10 years ago. They're few and far between now, but you do see some 2 layers here and there.
i apreciate roofing i do masonry chimmneys ect. but rppfers in sun all day never any shade hard work..
Missy Label theres shade might only be a 2ft. by 2ft square by the chim but if you squat down it should cover half your body.
Sweet harness bro. Take it off any sweet jumps?
Comment of the year lol
Best shingle in the world, keep at it brother. Minnesota roofer here
Hurts my head watching you guys rip like that 🤣
😸
Looks great 👍.
The machine take to long time
You're talking about the shingle tear off machine? The Equipter buggy is really nice. Friend of mines got a few of them. The tear off thing he had one and nobody liked it.
Ill smoke 2 people with thier machines long as we start from the truck.

By time you get that big ass thing at 3:27 on roof and hooked up me and my crew would have that whole side tore off lol grab a tear off tool man
Waste of money for sure. Big heavy piece of garbage.
Double layers, that thing pays for itself quick
Double layer that thing will not do

Just means the roof (6 nail arch shingle) was not apply correct.ive study the machine up close fiddled with it it wont
Respect!!! I done it a lot I like your way , is the better way to do it
Nice! I see you’ve got a few Equipters too.
Wow that slow motion stuff makes roofing look so cool
That not actually what roofing looks like. - Owner of successful roofing company

i bet they are expensive as fuck. But totally worth it for that quality
Royce Anderson lmao
All that stuff may actually lower the cost. Assuming it is a lot faster, that allows them to get more jobs done.
AND A PAIR OF SHEERS TO CUT THE VALLEY 😲😲😲😲.
Agreed...from the future
Good work boys u got a good teem 👍
Yall so extra. When I work with my father We use pitchforks to tear off the shingles. We do it in a way where it makes no mess and the shingles are easily rolled up and are able to be thrown out.
Must been only one cap then
4:32 safety first lol. guess he missed the safety meeting.
Nice ,I bet u don't use that tear off machine anymore, that looked awkward I would use it to till my garden
How long this roof has been used? Why do you need change it?
Also cutting the valley with snips .use knife or do California cut
True that. California or weave if it's same pitch. I can shingle without a hook blade! Some people just would have a hissy fit if they didn't be have one just to do a crappy job that will be seen in 30+ years. Or before.

Yea.. I thought that was weird. If he's using snips wouldn't it be less strain on the hand to chalk it off and use a hook blade ?
Underlayment incorrectly installed at 4:08. Should be installed from bottom, overlapping as you go to the peak. Why?
Good point Eric. You'll notice that we put underlayment at the peak so we could stage the shingles. Of course the rest of the underlayment was then brought up under that to properly shed water.
dos tipos para poner una escalera? no maaaaams
Come to South Florida guys! The weather is nice down here right now! I promise😂😂😂

Stapling drip edge, rubber boots, you’re not from Florida it’ll leak here
What's the metal that you guys put on the edge call, where can u get it
guicho drip edge ?
Its a piece of sheet metal they probably made at their shop
where can I get the angle flashing on the edge of the roof to keep shingles from falling of the roof
qmax1969 just make it
0ffic3r Crypt0 aluminum
Use your roof Jack's and put a 2x8 on it.you should use it like that because if someone slips they have a chance to stop thereself
OK, so just how weatherproof is Deck Armor? (Of course you guys are in and out before you'd notice.)
Also, what kind of shears are you cutting them with?
You dont use shears to cut underlay or shingles
I do like that dumpster at 3:06 tho
$30,00o bucks
The area code points to Central south Pennsylvania for those asking
good job
Tear off machine is a waste of time and money

Nice to someone using the Equiptor
Bc equiptor sued them into buying it...
$30,000 dump cart . I'll pass
Me and my dad never seen a dump cart we used wheel barrels and tarps
Those gutter funnels are amazing.
So.. Why are most of the houses in america made of wood? and shingles? Why not use bricks and roof tiles? Where I live its all bricks..
60FpsGoodness it depends where you live. In high heat and windy areas clay roofs are best. Not so good for the weight of snow. Shingles also install faster, lighter, they don't break and if they tear there is a something under to protect your roof because of the way shingles overlay.
because the logging industry is huge and wood is plentiful.
breathe and squeeze that has nothing to do with shingles.

I did this type of work for 35 years
Brian Kearney How was it?
Not nailed for high winds?
Good Job look this dach pro International
That's a lot of warranties
Those buggys are awesome we got them on are roofing company
Whats state its there?
That machine is a waste of time just use forks lmao
And why you prepped peak for shingles then loaded on old on that dormer is weird
They put them there so the delivery truck could leave
I love the harnesses on a one story
Lets see u roll off that one story
Y’all are scary asf I work three four stories doing gutters never were shit
Shit I'm 58 still jump off that high for practice
All sorts of wtfs in this video.
Yeah Tech Nine
Roofing its not too bad
Wondering if you are hiring labourers
are these guys amish?
Isaac Beckel no not amish
Y'all hiring?
Theirs no need for harnesses they just get in the way.
John Runaway because then your going to deal with huge fines if your caught without them..
Don't you think they are safer with them?
Until you fall.
@@hollywoodspirit5176 never m8nd the fines. Do it for safety. That's one of the biggest problems with osha and getting fined. People are doing it to not get fined or cause osha says to do it.

Osha you need harness for safety requirements or you'll get fined
Ok two but still not that high or steep
We don't get that sort of roofing in UK.
Almost all of our houses are tiled with concrete, slate or clay tiles.
You did the stink pipe wrong you don't wrap it all the way around
You don't cut it all the way around a stink pipe
Where's the water going to go when the water's coming down the roof under. Shingle
Are purely novated work on that company
Do nice work would like a job
Estos si son chafa acavo de ver unos que son inalambricos
It's amazing that you have harnesses but your guys wear tennis shoes
Bruh these dudes tear off game is weak af. Their doing it all stupid af taking 3 hours on a 25 square tear off bwhahahhahaha
Can I come work for you
My video
U guys suck
I like these guys look on things. Harness is great...nothing wro g with extra safety
Who the fuck uses d rings and lanyards on a one story residential??
Roofing isn’t a trade
2:49 that's the gayest fucking truck I've ever seen
It is a very useful truck tho

Faster isn't better, besides they're not coming back if you have a problem. I'm not racist either.
