Hang the expense - that is the most beautifully constructed roof I have seen in many years. Hats off to Chris Verrone

Where do you live I've been roofing since the late 60 s and still looking for my first customer that wants to spend that kind of money

[@alafrosty]

What strip vent product are you using? A manufacturer and part number would be helpful. Also, what do you use for the ridge vent to prevent wind blowing rain and snow into that space? Thanks

[@ubroberts5541]

Nicely done!

[@gennadiyfriedman9741]

Hi and thanks for the video. Do you use treated wood to build the cold roof system? If not, any concern for potential rotting ?

[@JAYJAYJAY53]

That has to very expensive . Why not just vent the attic ? The weight might overload many rafters . Is this a residential building ?

[@mikejohnson7768]

Yes and it's only $10,000 additional dollars for the cold system

It seems that Chris is putting a "cold roof" over an existing "cold roof". The definition of a "cold roof" it would seem is a roof that is vented and can "breath. The original roof structure has skip sheeting that allows the back of the shingles to breath, assuming the attic is vented (if the attic isn't vented, just add the appropriate vents). Chris hasn't explained why he is covering up that existing "cold roof" system with plywood causing a need to put a new skip sheeting over the plywood. Is it just so he can put down a ice and water membrane? One can shingle a watertight roof without it, that will last, but it takes care in the details.

Smart dude,sounds like a rip off!

[@stihl3826]

Lots of extra weight to the roof structure

[@brianburbach3721]

Do you need the horizontal skip sheathing for a cedar only? I am looking at just doing the vertical strips then plywood for an asphalt shingle roof

[@rulestein]

Is the plywood step necessary? It seems like you would get the same effect without it? Also, do you put felt just under the shingles or are the shingles nailed directly to the horizontal lathing?

BUT WHY... maybe it's being from the south, I've never heard of a Cold roof. What purpose is it. Is this a snow thing? Heard of that stuff, I hear it's like water but cold, and fluffy.
