They are actually surprisingly heavy!!!!! I just make it look easy. 😂

Yeah, it's a lot easier if you take the nails out! 😂😂

I like that! I'm going to have to try it. My friend says he likes to put his extra steep so the homeowner doesn't follow him up lol.

@@rooferchicks. You friend is wise. I had an 82 yr old client climb up the 2 story ladder one time. She yes SHE popped her head up of over the roof. I about passed out. 😵. Luckily she made it back down safely.

The wind doesn't really impact the vents - I usually opt to put vents on the back of the house if possible for better curb appeal. You do not have to put both on the same side. One vent isn't very much - you might want to check the ventilation calculator for how much you need. ohagin.com/vent-calculator/

Thank you for watching!!!

How do you keep from tearing the shingles when you put the ladder against them And obviously you can sit on the ridge shingles as you go

@@johncory3774 If the shingles are still pliable, they will bounce back after you remove the ladder. If they are brittle, they may tear, you are right. If you are concerned about it, you can stick something between your ladder and the shingles (my guys use foam cushions) or use a stabilizer bar on the ladder. Like this: www.amazon.com/Louisville-Ladder-LP-2200-00-Stabilizer/dp/B0000CBILQ/ref=asc_df_B0000CBILQ/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=692875362841&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=10441755755399840867&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9028022&hvtargid=pla-2281435179818&psc=1&mcid=904a8f9410f03d79ba8258373bcfe4b8&hvocijid=10441755755399840867-B0000CBILQ-&hvexpln=73&gad_source=1

The ridge cap usually comes with nails that are for it that are longer than roofing nails (like a 8 penny). We use 1.75" ring shank roofing nails on high profile ridge caps and especially when going over the ridge vent to attach the ridge cap. On the rest of the roof we use 1.25". Hope that helps!

@@rooferchicksthanks

Happy to be of service! Thank you for watching!

If it’s just a couple of ridge caps, probably not. If it’s a lot, I would.

That's all pretty interesting. In Texas, insurance drop customers after 10-15 years even though the materials are warrantied for much longer. I can't imagine passing a law though that forces people to do home maintenance - there are so many houses I see that are waaaaaaay past needing a roof. Can the government do that? We are getting into politics, but I wouldn't think Florida would let that fly after all I've heard about them during Covid! Ha!

@@rooferchicks Our Governor Desantis realized that insurance companies, with State Farm leading them, threatened to either drop thousands of policies or to move out of the state. Desantis and the Legislature compromised and solved the problem as best they could. I blame all of this on Joe Biden. His administration has made everything so expensive, especially for businesses, that the insurance companies were forced to pay exorbitent amounts for repairs or replacement of homes and just couldn't stay in business without acceptable profit.

Yes it is much more popular in Europe than in Texas!

This video is about how to replace a plumbing pipe jack, so I find your comment interesting. BUT I do have videos about ridge vent and I do believe in it, strongly. I agree that a power vent probably pulls more air, but as a passive vent, ridge vent still works as long as it is all at the same level on a roof and there is enough ridge. It's a known fact that hot air rises, so as long as there is an intake, air is going to move through your attic. But if you don't agree, we can agree to disagree!

How so? Are you? Wanna arm wrestle?

Thanks for watching!

I don't like turbines too much but my superintendent does. They used to be made better than they are today - nowadays after about 4 years they start rattling and clunking. I prefer a power vent if there isn't enough ridge for ridge vent.

HA HA For sure! Beer bottle caps too.

For sure because some of the very best workers often are!

Good luck out there!

Especially in Texas. No licensing required. Everyone’s an expert.

True , In NC the same thing , Also new roofing companys all over

You could do either one of you need two - but that’s a lot of power vent. A regular power vent covers 2400-2800 SF of attic floor space. You can over ventilate and it will suck AC out of your living space if it can find a way.

Yes. I wish more roofers would! But they take the cheap road.

This is a reaction video not me doing the work 🤣. Not sure who you’re insulting!

Thanks for watching and for the words of encouragement. I appreciate it!

😖 oh my I hope you're trolling lol

It's not as hard as it looks! Thanks for watching and supporting!

Thanks for watching!!!

The best thing I've found is a radiant barrier underlayment (one brand is Polarium). We've used this on about 5 houses and it has helped significantly. But last summer one of these houses we did got struck by lightening, and it traveled all over the entire roof. I think it was conducted by the drip edge and not the underlayment, but I'm not 100% sure.

They make shingle over intake vents - O'Hagin makes a great one. You can retrofit these to a shingle roof.

You've had fasteners with gaskets on them that have lasted 30 years without dry rot? That's impressive. You say the warranties are a joke, but I've had GAF replace about 5 roofs over the years under their warranty program, so I've definitely found them not to be a joke. I agree, metal is great. But it isn't perfect!

I so don't miss those stupid masks. That's a really good point.

That's what I think too.

Yes, good catch! OSHA requires 3' above. Although that's awful to swing your leg around and I often wonder what that logic is. He does have a little giant - a lot of adjusters use them. We do too from time to time. They come in handy.

In my experience, those vents will work against each other and you will be only circulating air between those two types of vents and not pulling properly from the soffit vents. You might ask a knowledgeable roofer to take a look at it, especially if you think your attic is hotter than it should be.

My mother agrees with you!

Amen I hear you. I was just telling our foreign exchange student from Spain this morning that I could live without politics.

I think you are looking at their standard material warranty where the smart choice period is only 10 years. If you get a Silver or Golden Pledge warranty, it goes up to 50. Look at this link www.gaf.com/en-us/resources/warranties/residential and open up the Timberline part and you will see what I mean. Metal can go on easy, but if you have a contractor who doesn't know what they are doing and don't flash it all in correctly and do the seams right, you have a very expensive big mess in a hurry that is almost impossible to fix.

Sure they could prematurely pop it if it hasn't popped yet.

Thank you for watching! 🎉

Skating shoes are great. I like Converse.

These are published, factual manufacture warranties and specs. If you do your research you will find it’s not BS at all. Good luck to you!

I’m sorry I don’t understand even after translating. It translated as “are you talking far?”

I'm so glad to be of service! Where are you located?
