Oh nice, so you just nail and torch the 3" lap directly onto the dry plywood. I know the Okanagan is full of redneck retards and drug addicts but this shit takes the cake. Catch your ply on fucking fire and fuck manufacturer guidelines, put only 1/4 the # of fasteners they require as well. Saves money! The Okanagan BLOWS, lived in Kelowna and surrounding area for 6 years and it's shithole, full of retards and wannabe rich boomers. The only nice thing is the weather and the scenery!

Depends, skylight on a flat roof? Just strip it in like any other roof curb. Most skylights ive used just pop back on and screw in around the sides. Reusing old skylights can be tricky for sure. Nice when homeowners are willing to upgrade to a new skylight so u can make sure everything slips back together easily

Jesus effing Christ! I thought I was over seeing low quality amateurish roofing work on youtube after watching Flat Roof Doctor videos. This video proves I was wrong. I had to stop watching after three minutes. Torcher gentleman just ignored his side lap and I wonder if any hot tar has come out along those seems.It looks he is torching in pretty cold weather too, where you need even more be careful to applying proper heat. With his end lap he showed remarkably little experience besides not even using a trowel !!?? Why do people post videos in skill required work when they have not a proper training and experience? Jesus !
@thetrahanman2 ай бұрын
Woah woah woah pal... Lets see your work! Why use a trowel to mark up your end lap when you can use a wonge and make it look BEAUTIFUL?! The side laps get between an 1/8th and 1/4" bleedout as per manufacturer specifications and if they look iffy we trowel check them everyday. Please put a link to your roofing video, im DYING to see the quality you are talking about 🙈
@gusmarokity64822 ай бұрын
@@thetrahanman First, here in California the city code is 3/8 of an inch for bleed out, occasional quarter inch is acceptable, but freeze frame your video at 1:44 min for example. Look at his shoe standing on the seem behind it there is at least eighteen to twenty inches of seem without any bleed out. Also when he uses a camp fire iron and a block of 2x4 wood to smooth out end lap that shows the person has no clue about basic torching principles. Inhere I will not teach you but if you happen to be in the San Fernando Valley, twenty minutes from Hollywood, I'd be only happy to show you what I am talking about. Me, I am after six surgeries on both of my knees and am not sure if I can do much torching with the pains I am dealing with. Of course how to properly do seems I could do even right now. There is a slight chance that I will be doing a torch project around the end of the month, if I do for sure I'll make a short video to post on youtube. So far I have not seen a single roofer on youtube who is in total understanding of his craft. Now what I can offer you is a few photographs on roofs I've done prior to my surgeries. They are in my old mobile phones which I should be able to print out and could send it to you if you wish and provide me with contact info. Basically, you have my e.mail address if you remove the numbers from my name and just add @gmail.com

@@gusmarokity6482 hey i appreciate your effort with these comments. Sure there probably could have been more bleedout lol fact of the matter is, I didnt. Will it leak, no. Will it stand up to the elements. Yes. Will it last for 25 years, almost certainly. No one is perfect and I'm sure if I came and inspected your work i would find stuff I didn't like. I found your comment to be aggressively rude, but that's your thing man. I've been roofing long enough to develop thick skin. Good luck with your health. Roofing is tough on our bodies! Hope you heal up fast!

@@thetrahanman Sorry for sounding rude but thanks for the good wishes. Your predictions as to the quality of your job I am not a believer. Even if you have your proper bleed showing there's no guaranty it will last if not both layer was heat to proper temperature. That is a common mistake many a roofer commits. Good news, I have my short video done and only have to see how is it to post to youtube. Oh, if you come and inspected my work you'll be hard pressed to find any stuff you don't like, unless you're not in the know.

Sweet rippins man!! Got the chilly snow covered background n shit miss them days!! Killer time to run hot or to be torching as long as she’s above 52 degrees is that still code?

On all them big jobs inspectors watching for days😅checking kettle temps, monitoring outside temps etc. Big jobs up there I remember that shit fort warden, whidbey naval, prisons, schools on all the big flat roofs built up or not them inspectors was a watching!!

It's a lifetime roof, so 25-30 years manufacturer warranty. It can compete with shingles but can be difficult to apply on steeper slopes for sure. Id say a direct competitor for shingles would be a metal roof. They are definitely gaining popularity here!

Why 2 layers and not just one layer ? I see a smooth layer and an asphalt layer. Assuming the asphalt granules protect the bitumen from the sun, but could you just go with just the granule layer only? Or is having the first smooth layer double protection? Also if I’m doing this over bare concrete, of course with a primer, should I just do the smooth layer? Or smooth layer plus asphalt layer. We would cover the layer(s) with rocks at the end

@thetrahanman3 ай бұрын
Fire extinguisher was like 10' away and i dont know about a roller bar. Here in Canada this is how its done. Torch weld the cap to the base while pulling with pull cane. The weight of the roll pushes the two membranes together and pushes out the bleedout at the seam. When you get to the end of the roll you have to push down with your cane to get a better bond and push out the bleedout. Happy roofing!
