$5,000 Roof Repair Is Finished | Big City Handyman Job | THE HANDYMAN |

[@TheHandyman1]

Video sponsor wouldn't let me post this to youtube. rb.gy/s1pmre

[@Aepek]

3:20 I have a Wooster Sherlock GT extension pole (2 in different adjustable lengths) and also care a field repair kit and it includes that particular part as well as others. Never had to use just yet, it know will happen as they do wear out

[@KevinDrevik]

Thanks for sharing this. I haven't done much with flat roofs, and this was very informative. Great job!

[@chriscolameco6850]

If you don’t want to wait for the custom capping you can just use torch down cap sheet on the parapet walls

[@ccsmith2937]

Turn those buckets & trays over to get that residual out of there on your roof. Glad you didn’t wipe out there. Looks like having a spare pair of shoes up there would be a good idea. 👍👍

[@BuddyTobyTV]

Customer definitely got their money’s worth on it. You should have charged 8K-10K after seeing the whole thing. That was a lot of trips and hassle. But on the flip side your customer should be happy and their neighbors might call you next.

[@jrr59]

Easy!

[@jrr59]

Handy will charge the neighbors 10k make up for the loss💰

[@TheSolver-PR]

That's why I never discard screws

[@jeremyjones8872]

All i did for maybe 2or3 yrs was flat roofs and there def is a better product for your flat roof issues then henrys,thy make commercial grade that literally last forever(not literally) lol. But the thicker you put henrys on the better,we use to have a mil tester to make shur it was rolled on thick enough and quicker way to do then this is actually pour your product directly on the roof right out of the 5gl bucket and roll away👍🙂👍

I agree the other comments. Worth way more than $5k labor only without including materials. What I love about the construction I do here in upstate central NY is the variety of types of work and the handyman filler work. Like this video...the variety keeps it from getting routine and monotonous. Thanks Handy!

[@AceEverett]

Depends on your area. On the last video I felt 5k all in was a good deal for the homeowner, but more than 5k just for labor wouldn't fly here. But you guys probably have million dollar homes that are worth 300-350 here.

[@sdsconstruction]

@@AceEverett You are spot on with geographic location and what we can charge! For the Handyman's area, I think he is a little below where he could be with charges. In my area, this would be about right with materials included ($1500 materials, rest as labor). Our homes in upstate NY are not at the million mark but are in the $250-$750 range for newer or larger or better neighborhoods (as a rule).

[@RICHat22]

I've always been happy with Henry products. Overall good stuff.

[@know-a-guy]

Great vid, looking forward to the story behind the story. HandyOn!

[@BillWelch-t8w]

I think you should have charged more than $5,000. Worth much more to the client than you charged.

[@TheHandyman1]

I would agree. There was a lot of running around all over town getting the right materials that went into this project too.

[@jacktrades5]

Considering this is a job that could be done anytime Handyman wants, completely on his own schedule, and that it sounds like this is a regular client, $5,000 when you are making $3500-4000 in labor for a couple days work seems quite adequate.

[@JimmydaGooch]

​​@@jacktrades5Just the sealant was $700 plus tax, then the primer he used to go under the caping, the metal capping was probably not cheap either, and don't forget the hardware too, plus his time for picking up all the material. I'd guess somewhere between $2500-3000 he made on the job. That's not bad, but could have easily tacked on a little more and provided excellent value for the dollar.

[@ThePlaylists001]

@@TheHandyman1 Yeah, you were a little optimistic about your margin at the beginning of the video. It happens to the best of us. I'm not saying you lost money but you did a great job and probably should have charged 50% more.

[@edvincent556]

I thought the same thing.

[@BrittCHelmsSr]

I recognized that bucket as a Henry's product. I use the Tropi-Cool on the roof of my camper. It is awesome!

[@batbawls]

12:59 What about Godzillas? It's a very real possibility at this point

[@georgekataftos]

i would have charged at least $8000 for your skill level, theres always guys for cheaper you get what you pay for. ida dd a second coat next time if the cust pays that would fill in all the dry cracks, amazing job !

[@oldworldchris4187]

Nice work, should be Bomber tough!

[@semperfi5861]

🇺🇸🤘 Heck Yeah Handy Dandy 🤘🇺🇸

[@shannonlawsonnashville]

11:32 ghost knocked caulk tube town and rolled it! 👀👻

[@jjshandyman7070]

Sketcher non slip shoes for roof work.

[@EastRiverHomestead]

Nice pole. . Are you going to repoint the chimney?

[@michaelchyles]

I want the Mexican music handy!

[@robstephens]

Wonder if there is any kind of leveling compound that you can use on flat roofs to build up the low spots?

[@andreakeeling9217]

Very good job. Well done. ❤❤❤

[@JonnyDIY]

Nice job Handy. Looks great. How much of that $5k ended up being materials??

[@wakkigy]

Is there particular technique in rolling the Tropi-Cool (like to watch out for too thick or too thin)? Does it need multiple layers? Thanks.

[@chocol8milkman750]

New boots!

[@TheHandyman1]

I threw my sneakers in the trash after putting down the sealant. I only have boots to wear now.

[@Asomesauc]

Nicely done

[@TheHandyman1]

Thanks!

[@Adam-wu2xr]

Handyman was almost donezo.

[@austin5639]

How many hours to finish the project?

[@GimpGladly]

I had to jump back a bit, I thought you said the roof took 8 of those $350 buckets! Would have loked to hear the rest of what you had to say about the alternative products, the siliconized and acrylics, btw... little whoopsy on the edit there huh? Edit: I paused to make the above comment, intersting way to keep us watching?

[@rshinn8776]

What sunglasses are those? Are they impact rated?

[@Mindcore777]

I think 5k is too cheap for this.

[@terryjanssen316]

Sounds like you were a little light on the price of this one.

[@jrr59]

Yup

[@jimc.964]

Do you use Jobber to communicate with all of your customers? Or text/phone calls? Both? What do you think is the best way to communicate with your customers?

[@robertgregory2618]

I don't get it ,you charged someone 3000 bucks for a blower change out on a furnace which you said took an hour and then you do this which took a lot more in time and material?

[@TheHandyman1]

Not all jobs pay the same. I keep working every day.

[@Trey-yo6nq]

omg handyman said "indian style". cancel him now

All them sirens in every video on this series sounds like a sketchy little area
