Thank you for not bashing Allstate! I have seen repairability tests completed clearly showing repairable for like 24 damaged shingles and just ripped because we have guidelines! And like you said there’s either damage or there’s not and so often the contractors make us look like trash for doing our job and holding to the policy. Granted there adjusters that aren’t great either, but most often they just don’t want the work if it’s not automatically replaced. We HAVE to follow our policy guidelines! Thank you again!

You should never see the bottom of that flange end of story wind driven rain moisture condensation wrong way to do it

Roofing by dial a hack

Water is the enemy of our structures.

Great but... how am I supposed to find the roofer that will do this without standing over them- and then me also knowing what the right way is.... Also, there's plenty of comments on here on how **this** is not the whole/complete/right way to do it... F-it, i'll live in a wigwam!

He's partly right. Another row of shingles should be on top of the boot, however what would really help is a piece of ice and water overlapping the boot flange and adhered to the sheathing above. You don't want to rely on shingles to flash roof penetrations. It's interesting how these 'professional roofers' almost know what's going on but still don't grasp basic roofing concepts.

Also use a roof snake or nail offset when you do the nail this is amateur hour.

Why would you put a 3 tab on a faux archy.. like kind.. this test is not possable just because like kind won't fit being as archys have diffrent Dimensions. You better have got this guys whole roof replaced and upgraded to architectural.

Easy answer.. the shingle that was damaged lost adhesion. Heat/cold cycles will do this. Or debris.. iv seen roofs that were cooked and adhered so strongly they seemed glued have wind creases. And when I did a repair test chunks of matting transfered. That long strip is suspect but uplifts have been known to cause groupings of shingles to un-seat and word of the wise. If the previous company watches this you could be putting yourself on the line for slander..

Very helpful thank you

Additionally that flashing is junk.

I heard of this stuff called ice and water shield...

Should the stack pipe boot be sealed with Geo cell as an added precaution to prevent future leaks, since the boot can shrink or expand from weather conditions through the years?

Shouldn't weave dimensional shingles. Some manufacturers will not warranty them if they are weaved.

2 under, 2 over, that's normally how it works out, but not always. You need the top of the last shingle under the pipe boot to come up high enough to where any water that runs behind the shingles over the pipe boot, will run off onto the top of the last shingle you put under the pipe boot. Pretty much the same with roof louvers (750s) , 2 under, 2 over.. if you don't get that last shingle under the pipe boot high enough, water could get between the last shingle you put over the boot, and go right in the top of your last under shingle and could cause a leak.

New builds often involve unskilled migrant labor, working without proper oversight or supervision. Structural problems on newly built homes may take a few years to manifest- well after the expiration of a home warranty. Best to hire a qualified inspector to check the progress on a new build, but some homebuilders have a contract provision that prohibits independent inspection.

thnx for the info. BUT one question. Why so many roofers do things like this to their customers? Whats a good question should a home owner as a "roofer" before giving them the job, to kind of hold them down to good workmanship? I find that roofers are generally not HONEST people. thru the years of dealing with some many. And each one ALWAYS DOG the other before them, but STILL DO THE SAME crappy work. Why so many DISHONEST PEOPLE BECOME ROOFERS? or Why roofings attracts dishonest people so? It is disgusting. Sorry for ranting on ur platform, but i was ripped off in NYC, may times, and now I am in Orlando Florida,, and again i am got rip twice already. Just spend 11thou, for a new roof, 5yrs ago, and getting the run around from the "ROOFER", to return to fix the leak. Its leaking in the valley that leads to an abutment area, and i am sure he does know the right way to fix the type on problem. My apologies agian for the rant, because you seem and sound like an exception.

It's caulk. Caulking is an action.

Great video Brotha thank u

Eh, I'm sticking with lead

I will have roof replaced soon. And I want to add new vent from bathroom fan. Should I wait for the new roof is done or do it while they putting a new roof, meaning I get all material for vent ready and drill hole for vent while they are replacing new roof. Thanks in advance

Thanks for the info mate!

My 14 yr old custom house had water coming through in master bathroom roof. I have a pass through fireplace in master bedrm/master bath. Last January. I had roofing company come and see - they said I needed ‘debris’ cleaned and some flashings replaced. And some tiles near both chimneys were cut. Cost was $3,200. They cleaned all the debris from the valleys and cut some of the tiles back away from chimneys.This was Jan 2023. Here is what they wrote on my invoice: “ An inspection of the roof was undergone to determine what maintenance was required.
We found the tiles behind the two chimneys to be too close to the chimneys allowing debris to build-up which caused the water to overflow. This was repaired by cutting the tiles by 6" to allow the water to properly flow.
Secondly, we found the valley metal ends were on top of the tile and this causes the water to spill over the valley and run allow the underlayment, which can cause the underlayment to prematurely deteriorate. This issue was repaired by cutting back the valley metal ends and installing a lead extension on the five valleys.
Lastly, we found the valleys and cricket to have debris. We underwent a clean-up, which will allow the water to properly flow…” We had a lot of rain in Feb and March and even some in August. All seemed, but to my shock, last week, I noticed a stain on ceiling of a bedroom not anywhere near where the January leak was. But this bedroom backs up to living room in area where there is another fireplace/chimney. I don't know when this happened. I seldom go in that bedroom and I seldom look at my ceilings. But water must have gotten in somehow. . I called the roofing company and left a message. Waiting for them so call me back. I got a ladder and went up to feel the stain and there is no wetness or puffiness on the ceiling. November is a month we often get rain. Of course if we get rain before the roofer calls me back I will be sure at watch the ceiling where that stain is. Is it possible that there was an unnoticed issue in this room but no problem NOW since the roofer worked on BOTH chimneys?

what about installing ice and water shield ? thanks

Exactly.

i see this stuff alot its usually on new construction, the plumber comes in after and cuts them in. but there are hack roofers that would do this aswell

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks . I am doing a valley on a 6x10 section of a roof over the basement door. I have to weave the new shingles with the existing shingles. I will be putting a metal for my valley and not ice and water drip edge (membrane). Also, i would like to ask that if the existing roof has 3 layers of shingles how do I build up the new roof to the height? I am doing this DIY. I want to thank you again,

Great video. As a homeowner and not a roofer, seems like everyone is a roofer but most are not good roofers.

Good info What is your opinion on the recycled semi tire roofing?

tHanks for the video. Have a great weekend
