You kept saying the broom would make a difference and it sure did! I could see the rubber laying down smoothly while Paul was sweeping!! Thank you, Drew!

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

You have to push the rubber down into the product in order for the two of them to bond together. Is a very important step of the project thank you for watching

[@Seren1624]

i have a flat roof over my pool patio and the edges are all rolled up....great video Drew and thanks for sharing

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Thank you for watching my friend I hope my video helps you to repair yours

[@jimmarchman]

I thoroughly enjoy watching your channel. Your narration is rock solid and you make it easy to understand the process. Sometimes those explanations result in me realizing I need to hire someone and not attempt that particular project . I've been saying for years that mobile homes are the last affordable housing for home ownership. I'm glad folks are spending the money for proper upkeep. SFH and apartments here south of Atlanta and close enough to commute to the city run way over $1000/mon. Last SFH I rented (5 years ago) was $1450/mo.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Wow prices are insane. I have a Doublewide that I rent out for $1400 a month.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Thank you for the amazing comments I appreciate it when people can appreciate good work. I try to make it easy for you.

[@BushDogScrapper]

That looks like the same roofing rubber I put on box trailer roofs! That stuff is awesome! Nice job Paul 😉👍🏻 Cheers Drew 👍🏻

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Thank you Bush dog. This product is amazing I love it way better than half lap rolled roofing

[@BushDogScrapper]

@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair I think it was half lap we used on the rig camp trailers

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Half-life used to be the thing back in the day you won’t find many people that use it anymore. Half Lapiz old school EP DM’s new school

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

And it is all done with just one piece

Hey Drew how thick OSB board do you use on the old mobile home ? My dad's has a rounded roof, no peak, so I think the OSB board would have to bend.

Hello there... Great video and Great content! Do you mind making a rough list of all the materials used in this almost flat roof? The reason being for this request is that I planning on doing a flat roof (10'x16') on the rear wooden deck of my sister's house... Thanks in advance for your time, I certainly appreciate it!

Interesting! Looks good for low slope. I have seen plenty of torch down for low slope.

You NEED to use low VOC PRIMER when putting cover tape on the drip edge… that cover tape will not last just going directly onto the rubber just by cleaning it with membrane cleaner

Thank you David. Hard work never killed anyone

[@angcan4sure]

Would have loved to see the finished product from afar to get what kind of a slope you were working with. Also, if you could just tell me what you were using as cleaner? After watching this video, we are now considering rubber roofing. Good video, thanks.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

We are installing a Rubber Roof the kind of cleaner we are using is made for EP DM. It would say EP DM cleaner I’m pretty sure in a few of my videos I show it you might’ve missed it if you did any fast forwarding or anything like that.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Thank you Ruth this is an amazing product for low slope roofing areas

[@beautifullimade32]

What is the best way to hoist the epdm up on the roof if it is just two of you? The size we need for my mobile home weighs 1125 pounds according to the Amazon link you provided in the previous video I watched.... thanks!

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

If you notice I use 16 foot pieces and I carry them up on my shoulder. If you were to try to make it in one piece my guess is it would be a little more difficult. But it can be done you would have to put two ladders up fold the rubber up at the bottom of the two ladders. Make sure to secure the top of the ladder so it does not slide. Each person would grab a corner and walk to the top of the ladder and then just accordion style pull it up to the roof

[@garylykins790]

Question: If that adhesive will stick to anything then why not put the drip edge on first then glue the membrane down over it instead of gluing down the membrane first then the drip edge and then seam tape?

[@Just-Stuck]

Because with single ply you always put drip in the middle

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

The Rubber Hass to go first because if you put the drip edge down first and there is any water intrusion anywhere it will go right into the facia metal very important to put the rubber down the drip edge and then a cover tape over the top very important to follow the steps that I took or it will not work. Everything needs counter flashing and that’s what we do I promise if you do it the other way you will regret it

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

The only way I would do it the other way is if I was using termination bar which is my preference but that is not what he wanted

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Thank you for that comment

[@donbill8913]

Hello, can we apply the rubber roof on the existing garage metal roof? Thank you.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

No. You need a flat surface to install rubber

[@essence3270]

I have a slow slope a addition was added attached to the my house so it is separate from the roof of the house so what would be the best material to use if the addition is only leaking

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Use hydro stop it is a 3 part deal. But it will stop the leak. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3jRgqKtbNaoqZY

[@kiethlowry2862]

Do use the cover tape to keep the water from going under the drip plate?

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Yes, that will stop water from being able to ever go under there

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Yes

[@patrickosborne1095]

What’s the size of that roll? How many sqf did u cover ? I need something like that done

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

20 x 100 we covered around 1100 Sq ft

[@robertmedina9053]

Great vid! Spray foam would’ve been good too

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

I am personally not a fan of spray foam I’ve seen it used and I’ve seen the problems that it created so I would suggest not using spray foam. I actually did a trailer that had spray foam on it. We removed it all first and put a rubber roof on there.

What can you cover top of EPDM / rubber with so it doesn’t look like $h!* from the road? Frank Lloyd Wright Prairie Style house & whole thing is 1-1/2 - 12 pitch roof. Insurance denied rolled asphalt so looking for options, but decorative low slope roofing options. Asphalt build-up can be covered in small stone like pea-gravel. Is that possible over rubber??

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

EPDM can be painted white. Or just use TPO it is white and makes for a good roof

[@MarkJones-999]

Greetings, I currently have a 30 by 30 addition that’s covered with shingles but constantly leaks. So I’m deciding to use EPDM , but does it comes in a 30 by 30ft roll ?

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

It comes in 30 x100 rolls

[@MarkJones-999]

Also Firestone EPDM only come in 10 by 50 or 10 by 100. Which manufacturer have 30 by 100, thanks?

[@FlymasterFlash]

I installed a roof hatch on a rubber roof. I cut through the 1× and a layer of roll roofing. I was quite surprised to find a layer of sand, another layer of a roll mineral, then partial board covered with rubber. I estimated $20,000 to remove and replace it. Have you ever heard of sand being used?

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Never ever. What the heck? Interesting how would sand work??

[@FlymasterFlash]

@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair the only reason I could come up with was for a fire block. It was a serious mess that I wanted nothing to do with.

Is TPO a good material to use on a low slope roof (sunroom)?

Yes tpo last about 10 to 12 years

[@rocknrobin4022]

Is this cheaper than roll roofing

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

No road roofing would probably be cheaper, but this will outlast rolled roofing by years and years a little bit harder to work with because of its size. I buy all my material at ABC Supply.

Why do they make the rubber membrane black and not white, black roof will suck in the heat, white will repel it. Should at least give you the choice.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Epdm black Or Tpo white. Tpo is twice as much for material and you have to have special tools to install it. Are used to black and then the customer has the choice of white Hydro Stop on top.
