Honestly, when I first saw the shingles, I didn’t think it was gonna look that great. But it actually looks really good! And yeah, that should last a long time and be super resistant against hail or anything else nature throws at it, pretty cool. It being recycled is a final bonus.

[@michaelstrang2563]

Looks like cheap trash, either save up and get a tile or slate roof, or don’t waste your money. A lot of people in my area did this and it is so blatantly fake and trashy looking, I hope this trend ends quickly.

[@abc123fhdi]

there are metal roofs that look like tile and would last longer than truck tires that become brittle over time.

[@TheNoahjf]

Pro tip: Instead of face nailing the flashing with roof nails and caulking over the nail heads, use a color matched metal roofing screw. Looks better, self seals so is a quicker install, and lasts longer.

you can do this yourself guys! so easy! all you need is the CEO of the shingle company, an experienced team of roofers, and either a lot of money or a bunch of free materials from that CEO friend of yours.

[@DavidSummerly]

FYI it’s less expensive than most plastic, metal, & similar specialty roofing shingles & a lot less than a natural slate or shake roof.

[@NurseAcrobat]

Thank you for making this video. I've been looking into various sloped roofs that aren't harmed by being walked on since my wife and I actually do like being up on the roof but have minimized doing so while we have an asphalt roof. So far aside from metal roofs I've seen Eurostar, Davinci, and Brava but none have a ton of in depth videos except by the manufacturer. This is the best I've seen for Eurostar.

Guys, I enjoyed that "Hired to build HERE" Marathon video and shared/threw that on my dad's office tv one day this tax season. He enjoyed it so much he watched probably every second of content y'all have produced like Downton abbey or something. By April 15th he was ready for me to get my real estate license so that my little bro could get his contracting license and we can make a family empire blah blah blah. He expects me to be the biggest fan and know all of y'all. Lol. I don't catch as much of your content as I should, but you guys are great.

Wow...that is a seriously handsome roof. I really don't like the idea of the water running off a surface of hot tire rubber in summer rains, but on the other hand it's a great use of all that recycled rubber and is stunning. Great job guys!

@@carolewarner101the company does not release it because they do not want to encourage people to drink it or put it on their tomatoes just in case, BUT a private 3rd party study was done because on the islands rainwater collection is common. That study found it to be safe to my understanding.

[@carolewarner101]

@@DavidSummerly Rubber tires are full of carcinogens... IF that 3rd party study ever happened, and IF they claim that that water off the roof was completely safe and non-toxic, then you'd better read the small print to see what conflicts of interest there are, because it's not safe. THAT is why the company doesn't encourage it. Because they'd be sued if they did.

[@johnlee7085]

@carole… You seem to be making some assumptions. While there are carcinogens in the rubber, they are not necessarily being released in rain water. I am just learning about this roof, so I don’t know definitively about this particular situation but am aware of a similar study. The North Coast Regional Water Board for the state of California and the City of Ukiah did one a few years ago to investigate whether crumb rubber could be used in stormwater filtration features. I think it was Humbolt State University that conducted the study and basically found that the recycled tire material did not adversely affect the filtration of the soil medium with crumb rubber in it.

Looks Great. I wouldve liked to see that first piece of step flashing have a "kick out" diverting water away from the siding and into the gutter. Great Product, I operate in Southern Alberta and have used Euroshield quite a few times.

Where is the rest of the kitchen remodel? Nice to see something different then normal shingles get install. Quality work as always

[@johnwest7993]

I think where I live in snow country I'd put down some adhesive under the edges of the shingles in the valleys. Melting snow creates small dams on the roof and water backs up, (just one of the reasons for the pitch of our roofs.)

[@DavidSummerly]

Ice & Water under the valley. Solar seal 900 is the required sealant.

Great looking roof. All you need now is a pool. And a catchment system to grab rainwater. Use it on the lawn or filter it and use it in the house.

[@milkywayan2232]

Nice product. Will be interesting to see how it plays out over time. Showing how to install a roof jack, then commenting that you could leave the nails there without mentioning they need to be tapped down tight to the shingle they are holding could use a comment. Then removing a roof jack, and beating down on the shingle over top of the nails, that are still proud of the surface of the shingle below is inviting trouble. North Carolina state motto. "To be rather than to seem". I've seen some of your other videos. You guys get some nice work, and your videos are slick. I like the planning of the high points on joists before applying the deck. I also liked when you cautioned folks to tack trim, that is part of a larger assembly, until All the components of the assembly are tacked in place so you can view it as a whole before Permanently nailing.

[@milkywayan2232]

"Planing" not "planning". Also the shingle you were beating on was with your hand, not with a hammer.. You could've injured yourself and the shingle

Looks great. I bet thats way heavier than other roofing materials. Not sure if that would ever be an issue. It seems like it would be better to nail that flashing going under the siding on the vertical side thru the siding, than to nail thru the roof and caulk over, but im sure u have a good reason for doing it that way…

[@Euroshieldroofing]

The weight of our 1/2 inch product is 240 lbs per square which is around the same as an asphalt shingle, our 3/4 inch product weighs 340 lbs a square which is about the same as triple-laminate asphalt shingles.

That product is awesome, great idea!!

[@jimg7318]

Makes it a little easier if you nip the 90 degree corners off when sliding flashing up under the siding. Doesn’t take much. Maybe an inch in from the tip of the 90 and turn it into a 45 or so. Great job. I had never seen this type of roofing material.

[@HistoricHomePlans]

Looks like a great product! I'm certainly looking into it more for my own home designs. Thanks for this.

[@k.d.8924]

never seen a rubber shingle before, pretty cool. How's the traction compared to asphalt shingles?

[@charlesm.8924]

I fear you will see rain water forced under the roof tiles along the valley flashing. As I see it, rain will rush down the steep pitched section of roof where it will push past the valley flashing center ridge and under the opposing roof tiles (in part because of the speed of the water and because the roof tiles run perpendicular to one another). While it looks like you did a fantastic job with underlayment, once that amount of water finds its way between the roof tiles and underlayment, it will eventually find a way into your attic. I am very happy to be corrected on this, though.

[@Euroshieldroofing]

We have not had any waterproofing issues in the field or valleys as long as it is installed correctly, and done so as stated in our install guide, which it was:)

[@rhondakennedy819]

I did not know you had to leave the very top of the roof with a long hole in it. It makes sense for the summer, but what happens in winter with the cold. The cold to me is heavy, so it would sink in to the house. Am I wrong about the cold? Leslie is talking to Jamie with all the info so he could know. He is so funny! And Erik is cutting Jamie off as usual. Jay, is quiet today. Looks very pretty! Love you guys

[@CinnamonTrees]

The vents are above the insulation layer - the air that passes through them doesn't come from inside the house. As the roof heats up, the air underneath the roofing also heats, and rises out of the top vent, drawing cooler air into the bottom vents (which are located at or under the eaves). As far as I know, even in winter, the air will still warm slightly below the roofing, causing the same process to happen, albeit more slowly.

[@ibealion1]

You have to air seal and insulate between the attic and living space. In those conditions, the attic is its own separate environment.

[@johnlee7085]

Building Science has learned to use ridge vents because that’s where the moisture in the warm collects and condensates leading to ridge rot. Gotta give the warmer moister air a way to escape.
