Cheapest Easiest Flat Roof Install over Tar and Gravel - 30 year warranty - Must See to believe

[@terrylutke]

Every roofer has their favorite roof-over system, nothing wrong with this install IMO. The hot BU roof they went over probably was quite old and probably held up quite well before it became a problem. A 30 year warranty for any synthetic or bituminous composite roof system sounds optimistic to me, but the point is that this new roof will remain trouble free for many years. Avoiding tear-offs whenever possible saves everyone a lot of money and hassle. I would point out that the base sheet nail/plate pattern can become more specific depending on local wind zones...It's a good looking roof!

[@FlatRoofDoctor]

You are one of the few people that knows what you are talking about. The other people commented after you are clueless. You are a roofer from reading your comment. Nail patterns, I agree with you.

[@terrylutke]

@@FlatRoofDoctor Yes, I've torched semi-loads of APP on re-roof projects (1 small job at a time). I hated tear off's while other roofers seemed love them. I'd get the roof-over jobs that other roofers insisted on tearing off the old. One needs to be creative sometimes. Sometimes old roofs actually need to be fully or partially removed, especially if the structure is spongy, rotted or rusted through. I will say that torching on hot summer days isn't always fun. My worst experience was using APP from a now defunct Chicago manufacturer. The surface started cracking a year or 2 after install, they decided to go out of business instead of stepping up. They must've been using incorrect processes at their plant. It's a good idea to buy common brand name roofing products. I suspect that SBS is a more highly engineered product than APP, although it never seemed to torch as easily as APP.

@@FlatRoofDoctor Why did your own son start his OWN roofing company instead of following in the family business? I notice he does things correctly instead of trying to save a Nickle here and there. Its very telling that he went on his own instead of going with the family business.

[@FlatRoofDoctor]

I believe in Torch Down and I believe you can put a Torch Down Roof over almost any surface and it will last. My son has OCD, and with that everything must be perfect. The screws that holds the base down are in line, nobody will ever see it. He prefers TPO and therefore the surface has to be perfectly flat. I am not nickle and diming any project, in fact I think I am more expensive in some cases. But, I do believe the 2 ply Torch Down system is superior to any other roofing system. Why not follow the family business? I taught him a lot, even making videos. But I still use my business for promoting and some roof projects. It would be not good for him to take my old projects and run with warranties I gave which he does not agree with. He is far better establishing his Name as the best in TPO and Brand himself as the Best in Quality. He is already in that bracket and is already well known for the quality work. His clients are the ones that can afford his type of work. I always catered to everyone and not a specific group.

Why don’t you put the Karnack under the drip edge as well?

[@SimplifiedTruth]

He's the kind of guy you can’t help but love! He’s extremely knowledgeable, knows his craft like the back of his hand, and somehow always gets the job done, though sometimes in a way that makes you hold your breath!! His approach? A bit reckless, maybe even a little chaotic. His craftsmanship isn’t exactly refined, but he gets up there with pure determination, great contagious attitude knocking things out in a way only he can. There’s something endearing about him, even if he leaves a few crooked shingle, drops of polytech and seams along the way!

[@Loonypapa]

There isn't a roofing manufacturer on this planet who will warranty a flat roof that was installed over gravel.

[@99ryanlee]

Nice looking job, hard work, and good of you to take the time to pass on your knowledge. I love that ladder you have with the lifting motor, never seen this before.

[@terrylutke]

I had one of those ladder lifts years ago, huge back saver. They sell bolt on extensions for higher roofs.

[@astroprinting65]

Inspector will not approve that . And insurance will not paid if this roof callapse from the heavy load . Beside the mositure will trap under 3 ply you used . You need special vent for flat roof. This video only commercial for poly seal .

Can these three layers be adhered to side walls for flat rooves that need ridge cap flashing and side wall coverage instead of edge flashing? Thanks

How can you tell if there is damage under this gravel?

[@RichardCarrollJr]

Great system, where can i get the materials?

[@jorgepinon7119]

In a lot of weight for the roof you must have removed even if it is the stone so as not to have a lot of weight over time the roof can collapse :)

[@Mantra1988]

Why the cold adhesive? Whats the reason?

[@jamescole3152]

He uses it on the drip edge because the metal will warp and the paint peel off.

[@Tee-roni]

​@jamescole3152 No,again. 😂😂😂 It's an adhesive. He is using it to secure the edge 😅

[@olejaerson1852]

It's like using glue on paper to stick. We do the same when necessary in Norway to.

I wish you could do my roof I live in SW Fla

[@Loretajean]

I know every state is different but do you have to get a permit to lay this type of roofing material down?

[@jamescole3152]

Only if the county is controlled by communists.

[@joegretchen1762]

He roofed over the drainage clamping ring, lmao !

[@tonythespeedy]

Mr. Jorge, how much do you pay for the new guy, 20 box! No is to much money😂, Just kidding I'm going to do exactly the same for my house 🤠🤠

[@Tee-roni]

I'm in South Florida, and we have a roofer that we use sometimes that does the same band-aid method.With the hurricanes down here,I think you're better off re-roofing so it can be considered Dade County approved. I see a lot of people who aren't fans of the doctor's work. Personally, I'm not offended, but then again, they are not my buildings.If he really wanted to be unconventional, why not just hot tar over the whole roof and add gravel again. It's only weight, lol.Also,weight would truly be a concern up north where you get snow on your roof...Anyways i been trying to figure out what accent Naas has, at first I was sure it was German then I thought maybe South African 🤔 idk 🤷🏿

Because he’s cheap. He can’t even remove the drain ring and do a drain properly. His seams are bucking water. He starts his finish cap sheet from the edge instead of from the drain and going in both directions. His videos make my head spin at the stupidity done to these poor peoples roofs
