[@stealingtomorrowband]

hahah Seems like you guys love Zip Tape as much as i do!!!! That stuff is great for everything... FYI - If you ever tear your pants at work put some zip tape on the inside.... I have had a zip tape patch on for at least 6 months that last through all washing and drying!!!!

[@thalesofmiletus2966]

Replaced after 25 years?? WOW. My family has a cottage in the highlands of Scotland that was built in the 18th C. The slates are still the original. They need adjusted every now and again but to my knowledge they’ve never been replaced.

[@kmd438]

I briefly thought there was a new guy in the crew but it was just Ray without a hat on.

[@Davey768]

Foreshadowing!

[@richardpollitt462]

Needs some keeps 😮

[@KevinWinmill]

Same 😂

[@therealDonMac]

So whatever happened with the friend's kitchen with add-on that you guys were remodeling? I went back to your channel and looked, but don't see it finished. I know I've asked this before recently, but really want to see the finish of it.

[@baldweezy2362]

Jamie’s excitement to see that it was 3/4 roof is the reason I watch this channel. Just a true professional respecting another professional. I love the trades. We’re one big dysfunctional family respecting or making fun of each others work. Greta content gentlemen. Thanks again.

[@RustyRecovery]

I'm an English guy who grew up watching Norm and Bob. You guys are this old house on steroids with some great humour!

[@taylorwickstrom9403]

What ever happened to your buddies kitchen addition project?

[@Velothu]

Get some solar panels on the roof once it's all done! it'll pay for itself in a couple years and then you've got free electricity - combine with a battery and you've got power during a blackout.

[@munkydotorg]

3 years ago we had a new roof put on our old house. We had some repairs done the day before, which included the replacing some of the sheathing on the roof. They covered it up decent enough, but an hour after they left a nasty storm came through, blew off the temporary cover, and dumped buckets of rain. I had to throw a tarp up in the attack, and found a fish tank pump and hose to pump the water out of the attic. Thankfully only ruined a little bit of insulation and cracked the just repaired drywall joint, could have been much worse. So yea, that fear is definitely warranted. Next day the roofers came, ripped off the old roof, and got most of the new one on. Of course it also rained that night, but not as bad, and nothing leaked. That was not fun at all.

[@rustedoutwrench]

You spoke to the stress of rain. Us as a crew of 4 tore off one side of a 24 square roof so roughly 12 square uncovered. No rain in the forecast at all then the national weather service came on and said a storm picked up over lake superior and was approaching at 40mph with gusts up to 60mph. We had just finished tearing off and started papering. I was the last one to step onto the ladder to get down as the rain and a 50mph gust hit. Most scared of having rain destroy a building ive ever experienced i thought. Then a 60mph gust blew the top row of paper off so in a thunderstom me and 2 other guys cralled up there and re papered the peak as one guy visqueened in the attic to try to catch as much water as possible. All said and done we got like 2in of rain in 40min and 2 of the apartmets had a bit of water damage on the ceiling that a bit of paint covered. All was good but man was that scary

[@totallybonkers]

The magnet bar that Jono is using is the most satisfying part of the job. Getting all those little nails out of the yard ! Your kids and lawn mowers will thank you

[@pierrebouchard4289]

Thanks for letting us build with you ... See you in the next one ... ✌🙂

[@jaimeperkins9606]

Hey hey!

[@scottparker9341]

we have a magnet like that too, our works way better because there are wheels tho!

[@AntEloftheHouseofEl]

Im pretty lucky that all of my radiators are fitted using flexi piping, so all i had to do was put down a couple 2.5 litre paint cans, lift the radiator off the wall and lay it on the tins. Full, easy access to the back then! Lovely!

[@c.a.g.1977]

2:49 never seen a guy this excited about his wood being 3/4 thick 😆

[@albertorozco5981]

That is some very serious quality work. All the redundancy at the valleys to make sure there is no leakage. Very solid job guys. As always.

[@uglycouzin]

Eric your quality video making is appreciated. You've gotten progressively better over the past two years.

[@floydmccune6966]

I just watch your video on the question about a carpenters pencil and the answer is it’s flat so when you set it down it won’t roll away but he was close

[@randallmouser5609]

Tie a single knot in the backing or shingle wrapper and it will float right to the ground without blowing away

[@spacecoastfisherman1128]

Looks good, only thing that I saw a problem with is where you put ice and water shield over the valleys and on the rakes. I’m confident you will end up with a leak after a year or two, because that peel & stick will separate from that painted metal.

[@kristineolver3268]

They did the ice shield under and over the metal in the valleys.

[@joshuawilson1989]

1st. That's why we keep 2 30x30 tarp just for rain . and the shakes I installed were recycled rubber super durable but with just 2 ring shank nails.

[@scottfurlong5475]

A funny thing, when you're working on your own house. You give it 150%, don't take breaks and don't take a proper lunch. At the end of the day when you're tired, you are actually tired as s***! It's extremely easy to overcook a day when you're working on your own place.

[@gertv6777]

Wow so much work, in Texas we seem to replace roofs every few years from hail

[@seanbhaney]

Now I know why I like you Erik- you've got a Golden Go-Git-Em-An-Bring-Em-Back puppy dog! Such a sugar face! And wow...what a good job on the roof. I'm surprised you don't have solar, though!

[@Xerosins]

god i remember doing this kinda stuff during the summers as a kid helping my grandfather. nothing beats standing on a roof in 100+ degree low humidity desert climates with a shovel a hammer and a pouch full of nails. we didnt have any of this fancy stuff you guys have now though lol, good stuff ^.^ cant wait to see it when its done

[@T.E.P..]

You always do a superb job on those promos Erik!!! They all must be very very pleased

[@djamelhamdia134]

A true business man!

[@maxsteel6092]

Underlayment is not for weather or water protection Obviously as there are a bazillion nail through it And there is likely inadequacy and short circuited ventilation by the looks of the condition of the shingles and the underlayment Check the intake at the steeper slope by the valleys There is likely none

[@metatechhd]

👏👷‍♂🔨 Jamie's genuine excitement over the 3/4 roof was contagious! It's refreshing to see professionals appreciating each other's craftsmanship and being part of the trades community. We may have our quirks and playful banter, but at the end of the day, it's a big dysfunctional family that respects and supports one another's work. Great content, guys! Thanks for sharing your expertise once again. 🏠👍😄

[@rhondakennedy819]

You guys are so funny. Jayson is hysterical about wood for his fires. Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all

[@AnichM2nd]

If you need a narrative I can do recordings from home. Keep up the informative work!

[@debby8428]

I love Benson!!!! Frosted faces are my favorite!!

[@briankloc]

Never in my life have I seen the sentence “I need a new roof” ended with an exclamation point!

[@larrysmith8406]

i had a roof replaced on my house two years ago and i am still finding old roofing nails in the yard. i spent two weeks with three different types of magnets in the driveway collecting nails and i guess that was good not one flat from a roofing nail so far. look inside your gutters you will find a bunch of nails there and they will get washed down from the rain and out into your yard and driveway. but what you are doing looks great keep up the good work

[@jeffreypittsley2295]

Down here in Florida we have prevailing wind driven train know what you guys did that is ass-backwards with ice and water shield that goes down first then everything goes to it to make it valid I don't know about that synthetic roofing its good luck

[@jkoop]

Love the change in video and the overlay from the drone. Real question, when are you ever going to finish that kitchen remolded/addition series?

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

Hey thanks! The kitchen is actually done… homeowners did the finish work themselves and I have a video coming out in a couple weeks with a tour of the finished product!

[@ThomasSlayer]

Here's an idea for you, lawnmowers with magnets in the front. That way you always get your steel out of the garden and it protect the blades from steel objects. (Just cut me in with the profit coming from this idea)

[@first.place.losahs]

Yes!!!! My favorite part ... roofing baby

[@RicardoJunqueira]

Do it right and you'll only have to do it once. I hope those leftover underlayments don't ruin the whole renovation down the road. Your house looks amazing Erik.

[@travisdills8279]

Yall do a good job and I met Eric super nice guy it was nice to see that they are good people still doing damn good work fir people

[@Liberty_DIY]

That VB Armor is legit, used it on my 12 12 pitch roof and is tough and grippy.

[@pamelahousley7543]

Got a beautiful home. The scenery is breathtaking

[@T.E.P..]

Cooooool!!!!! great job great project!!!! Hope all you guys are having a great week ... flying to NC tomorrow until the 8th .... hope to see some of ya! thanks again for all the superb vids

[@bettie3092]

Nice work.

[@QBRX]

That roof will survive anything that any roof could. It's a roof above any other I've seen done.

[@JesseJames-kv7xc]

this channel is gold. thank you

[@Iamthathillbilly]

I just threw it in your tree right there 🤣 I laughed too hard at that

[@shade115]

I like the landscape of the yard. And the trees. Must look lovely in autumn 🍂

[@barrywood5357]

Up on the roof were the shingles are bad with the perkins brothers the best youve had nice one crack on

[@quartzmarbre3789]

Incroyable ces américains..toutes les maisons en bois...

[@waterislife.9204]

Great job boy's. Awesome looking roof.

[@ivonekowalczyk5823]

Can't wait to see that Euroshield go up. Heard a lot about them!!Thanks for great content.

[@54mgtf22]

Love your work 👍

[@dhawthorne1634]

I'm not sure what the cost of the Zip sheathing is, but with all of the metal, filling gaps with Lexel, underlayment, multiple passes of nailing stuff down, zip taping the exposed seams on the existing sheathing, labor for all the extra steps, etc. Would it not have been at least a similar cost to take it back to trusses and replace it with your preferred roofing?

[@kristineolver3268]

I can't wait to see the installation of the shingles!

[@Desire_of_Ages]

I liked the magnetized "nail rake"😉 (Cool 😎 stuff) ...got a link for it?

[@stalldrom]

I’m a longtime fan and really like your work and how important it is for you to do a proper Jobb. One thing that struck me in this episode is the use of shingles as a roofing material. Here in Sweden and most of Europe shingles don’t meet the standard for roofing except on buildings like garages and barns. My house built in 1917 has original brick pans and they are in excellent shape even though we live in pretty harsh climate. Brick. Pans or metal roofs are the standard here and have been for hundreds of years.

[@bengtriise6504]

Days like that I miss being a roofer-but then I remember I live in northern Norway 😅

[@mweizenblut3391]

All your videos are awesome. If I had the money, I would hire you guys so fast to come to my house and work in my roof as well as an expansion that I have in mind. Unfortunately everything is so expensive here in Miami, FL. My roof is 32 years old and my windows are the original windows. Just bought the house last year in October.

[@rgarlinyc]

Yeah, I was just thinking how stressful it must've been to be "intentionally roofless" for a while - glad you got it done without the rain uh.. raining on your parade.

[@mikehall4517]

You know, it's not fair that you should follow behind and fix all the little problems that may or may have NOT been fixed or even noted by your roofer. For instance, I doubt they would have really cared about how well your sheathing was nailed down. Wellmyou'll definitely be sure you'll have a quality, long lasting roof.

[@k.d.8924]

I don't know about that high flashing on the gable ends. Won't that hold water and send it under the edge of the shingle?

[@minimanjos84]

25 years?! This is why we only use shingles for sheds or dog houses in the UK. A proper tile or slate roof will easily last 60 - 100 years. Is this more job creation by making things fail early from the USA?!

[@kevindang10]

Whatever happened to the whole kitchen remodel/expansion that was going on for his buddy?

[@samelloit602]

There are roofers and then there are others who don't care and just want to get the job done I'm learning something here

[@danreger8924]

That is such a cool looking roofing material. I bet those shingles aren't cheap either!

[@deshaunjackson8188]

@15:20 What are Covenants? Are they like an HOA?

[@MrReganH]

Eric & Jamie are proper house music guys. lol. There's always a good beat going on the B-role. :)

[@graham2493]

You cray cray yankies & your felt roofs!

[@someyoungguy6990]

Have you guys ever thought of making a workshop similar in size to Jason's pole barn? Only asking because I can see how it would help workflow and give you space to get some bigger metal working tools with an inbuilt homemade spray shop.

[@Ryno-ig4us]

What ever happened to the kitchen renovation series? Really liked that series cuz I’m fixing to start some renovations as well and it’s cool to see some of the things I might run into at my house. Love the videos!

[@SeanBrittnyShyanna]

I was wondering how easy the rubber roof will be to install. I look forward to the next episode

[@MB12116]

Our roofer always has a bunch of massive tarps on every job site as freak rainstorm insurance.

[@Z-Bart]

Talk about stressful...my roofer drank Eighteen 36 packs of Hamm's doing my roof. Nope, it didn't hold up!

[@markb.1259]

2:55- Are the rafters set at 24 inch OC, or 16"?? It looks like 24"?

[@solsticesummer982]

oOOoooOo in the little quick time lapse the trees are moving, the camera is moving, it looks like the House is moving

[@joshuawilson1989]

We call thatt tar paper cooked and it will ruin the shingles and sheathing to have tp have proper ventilation

[@billybike57]

Looks like you’ve covered over your roof vents on your ridge line. I’ll be interested in your options for attic ventilation 😊

[@c14b4tt4]

I guess that's what the plastic grid you can see at 0:45 is for.

[@condhor]

It was definitely temporary water sealing. When they get to the ridge cap, just cut through the underlayment and it’s vented again.

[@devontorgeson-riel5880]

I just can’t see how it’s worth it to save that tar paper. The time you took the cut in for the valleys you could’ve ripped it off and did synthetic which I believe is a much better product

[@petersheridan2993]

The Uk house roof is slate. I am told that the used copper nails will last over 150 years? or they can reuse the slate any way for the next 100 years.

[@sjxxanox5534]

Great Job! Hope the new roof will last longer then 25 years. Is that a normal life span of that kind of roof? How many years do you expect for the new one? My roof is over 40 years old.

[@Soon-to-be]

Just great fill in material. Is there a link for the rubber shingles and I curious of how they would hold up in central Florida.

[@smcox1991]

Just ice and water the entire damn roof and never worry about it again. That’s what I did on mine and never have thought about leaks from ice damns since.

[@ButchFagan]

You sure it’s not 5/8 OSB? That’s what’s required for 2 foot on center rafters.

[@kdawg11417]

You can use 7/16 with h clips

[@GoatzombieBubba]

Metal roofs are best and if you want a shingle look they have those too.

[@gk49822]

Cool

[@lilysobotta2666]

🎉love you making WORK look (fun)😮 Seriously I know you guys work hard.I've learned a lot!🎉 Boy do y'all work f a s t at times😂See 👀 ya, & God Bless Take Care!

[@noire1001]

25 years life is what i'd expect from a shed roof, not a house roof! meanwhile my slate roof is over 100 years old and will last another 200 years or more. I guess shingles are much easier to replace, but it seems like a hell of a waste if this is the same story for every house in the US.

[@badzioch64]

I recommend you always stuff your shirt with something. Makes you really stand out.

[@T.E.P.]

Big big project! What a gorgeous day! Cheers guys

[@LastChanceTinyHouse]

Have you guys ever re-roofed a house that already had wind and ice shield covering the wood, and if so, how did you get that sticky crap up, or did you?

[@mac8179]

New subscriber. Digging Jaime’s bionic hand. How did he lose his fingers?

[@carlosrodriguez601]

S/o to my homie Mario from TopLine!! All the way from Kansas

[@Floyd12ga]

These videos are the best!! Solid crew!!

[@shephusted2714]

get a magnet with wheels and quick release - no wonder you subbed out the roof (mostly) - roofs are total nightmares - hurricane clips (h clips) on the osb - isn't that an oxymoron? surprised you are not peeling the water shield first before applying it - i kid lol roofing is good for the back but it is a job where pros can make good money but they do earn it - experience matters

[@Musabi13]

When are your belts coming back in stock? 😢 love the vid by the way roofing my garage soon!

[@michaelfarmer537]

Love the roof details! Owner kind seems a little hard to get along with though. 😅😂

[@migueltor6434]

It's good to use the expert regular roofers.

[@basiaboy]

You can use metal in any neighborhood. Federal Law trumps HOA covenants for energy savings… 10+ years….
