NEW TPO ROOF! Full Flat Roofing Installation | Homestead Update Ep. 11

[@epichomesteading]

FYI: If you like this job and you're in Los Angeles / San Diego area, give Jeremy Lara of Baja Roofing a call / text at [phone] and mention you came from Kevin at Epic Gardening!

[@trishdavi7049]

Question: it wasn't explicitly shown but are there some kind of drainage holes to gutters or something off the roof? The white colour and little sides look like without drainage it could be a pool . Wish it was designed for walking on ...great space for a greenhouse maybe some small or starter plants & patio ;-) Cheers

[@trishdavi7049]

On a previous video you showed some drainage gutters... looks ng forward to seeing the solar and rainwater capture future videos. Thanks

[@epichomesteading]

It's walkable! And yes guttering will be installed

[@nadapavlekovic5528]

Kevin, I'm glad you took the roof off the renovation list👍 (I'm a subscriber to your channels). And I'm also glad you're working with great gardeners. " Laura and Aron, Erin, Moya, Calebu, etc. under the same roof 💪. Congratulations! Vid is Epic like all of you in the video! Thank you very much! Happy Holidays🎄💫☃️ Nada from Croatia, EU

[@nadapavlekovic5528]

oh, I forgot to mention dear Mr. Charles ☺️, you miss him in the video. The best teacher!

[@good-timeshomestead2183]

Mount a camera on the roof. Record the sunsets and for good security. Then you can share the Epic sunsets. Very nice roof.

[@epichomesteading]

Oh, genius!

[@trishdavi7049]

Such a beautiful view...cameras be almost as nice as a roof top patio ... With plants lol. Those neighbors palm trees are gorgeous in the skyline

[@matt05024]

definitely worth calling out, especially if they're flipping houses because you don't know what other corners they've cut on other houses. could lead to some serious incidents if they cut corners around any electrical or wiring

[@epichomesteading]

Yeah, no kidding...

[@KatarinaClaire]

It's so awesome to watch the step-by-step process for the renovations of your house, Kevin! I appreciate the fact that you're investing in Quality by not skimping in the here and now. Beyond an investment, homes are also part of your legacy - embodying what you value. You're capturing that with the solar panels and gardens but it's truly wonderful that you're also applying that to the projects you're undertaking. I 100% agree that it's better to do a job right. It brings peace of mind and a sense of pride in the place you call Home. Keep up the great work!

[@epichomesteading]

Yes, I'm so glad to you see this! That's EXACTLY what I'm trying tro do!

[@Tie-dyeGarden_dragon]

It's so exciting to watch you build up your property. I'm living vicariously right now.

[@epichomesteading]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@deanuemura8061]

I’d find out who is responsible for the soffit. If you kept any of the newspaper, that could give you an idea of how recently it was done. If it’s close to when the house was put on the market, you can make a case that it was done to increase the value on the cheap. You’ll probably need to contact a real estate lawyer though.

[@epichomesteading]

Good call on the newspaper!!

[@vixwolf2037]

​@@epichomesteadingseriously i dont know if you ever were able to find the time to chase after that but seriously its worth your time because we have no idea how many houses they've done this to. On another note this may be a nerdy video but i certainly appreciated it

[@anthonyshea5946]

Kevin- love what you're doing. Can't wait for a vid on the solar. Also, hoping that now that your roof is sorta complete, we can see some rain collection and storage options. With it going into rainy time, we can see something soon I hope? Regardless, keep posting on your channels. I'm learning so MUCH and I've even gotten my kids into watch you with me. Thanks yo!!

[@epichomesteading]

That's the next thing after solar!

[@lovenotes5299]

I had my metal roof done and I was also excited and pretty satisfied as to how it looks! There was nothing wrong with my roof, but a added on section was leaking so i had the entire roof covered with a metal Brown color and it looks fantastic! It added a sound barrier- my roof stepped down on one end and they made it less noticeable . Old style mobile/modular trailer from 1977.

[@maggiemanzke7926]

Welcome to the wild, wonderful world of remodeling and repair. There's nearly always stories once the old stuff is removed. Totally agree with your desire to do the job right the first time, so it lasts as long as possible. Completely worth the pain up front. As to reporting the shoddy flip, it's up to you whether you want to spend the time and effort to report that. Blasting them in reviews is quick and effective. The roof looks awesome, congrats!

[@epichomesteading]

Yeah, totally agree on effort / reward. Thank you!

It’s always good to at least file with the BBB since that’s where most homeowners go to on ratings. That how we got ripped on our kitchen, we only checked with the BBB.

[@edgarbaring6319]

Yes that radiant barrier is a great idea, plus the tpo reflects alot of heat also, but again great choice, i have done roofing for 40 years in tx. I put on every roof but tpo but showing the roof process it looked to be an A+ job.

[@deniseb2571]

Palm trees! Nice view up there. At the moment I can only see a foot of snow. Sounds like a good investment and it looks great.

[@epichomesteading]

Thanks Denise!

[@allisalie101]

It's fascinating to see this process in that I used to install roofing here in Aus and there are almost no roofs like this at all, especially in the domestic sector. There is a similar product that was used many years ago used on industrial facilities, but for the most part it's now considered a specialist system. And what you call coping we call capping, or parapet capping, and when you have multiple types of metal waterproofing required to complete your roof, they're then collectively known as flashing. Looks very neat though, and I agree, call out the previous owners because this type of behavior is despicable.

[@epichomesteading]

It's so interesting to see all of the differences!

[@TalkingThreadsMedia]

Kevin, smart way to approach the project. Skimping and/or going for “cheap” always comes back to bite you in the butt! This is your home. As you said, the goal is longevity. The new roof does look nice. Best wishes from Kate in Olympia, WA - 12/18/2020.

[@epichomesteading]

Thanks Kate!

[@Wolf-E-Romeo]

[@jaynematzkinhair8830]

I'm here! So excited about the new channel!

[@storey662]

This video is a year old but I’m watching it and slowly becoming green with envy. I live in Mississippi and bought a house with a partially flat roof in 2019 not knowing that roof needed to be replaced. Unlike your roof, mine has NO slope, no angle, nothing. It’s FLAT flat. Ours is covered in some type of vinyl, but there are small areas in the seams where water gets through. It’s fascinating seeing any other person with a flat roof to me because every non-commercial roofer I’ve called in my area has told me they don’t work on flat roofs and all the commercial roofers I’ve called said they don’t work on domestic roofs. Which makes it seem like flat roofs on domestic HOMES wouldn’t exist - but leave it to me to break the mold. 🤷🏻‍♀️ This video has given me some ideas and a little bit of hope! Maybe one day I’ll have the $10-20k to get it fixed! Until then, I’m watching this on the rainy days! 🌧

[@Tobias611]

Oh you can probably sue them for the flipping "mistake" as that is misleading, I'd go have a first talk to a lawyer and see what he says about it, might get enough money out of it to pay half the solar lol

[@epichomesteading]

LOL good call

[@TylerDurden404]

how much would be left after lawyer fees though.

[@EmuMan44]

Definitely put them on blast

[@AaronUF]

Yep, every state is different. I think here in FL you have 5 yrs to sue for fraud. If they didn't disclose the issue and they were aware of it, it's a pretty solid case. The other factor is money and time vs. cost. It is possible that blasting them publicly could cost them more, but then the risk of slander etc. comes into play. Always best to consult a lawyer, as you stated.

[@sammorris5431]

Nah. The flippers purposely went out of the way to cut corners hoping the mistake would never get noticed. They defrauded the inspector (unless he was in on it), and THEY RIPPED YOU OFF!!! Had that been noticed during inspection, your realtor would’ve done an amendment to the purchase contract stating what needed to be fixed. But now, you sue them and make them pay for those repairs!!! Geez! There’s even a subreddits dedicated to stuff like this!!!

[@SWCnetworkdr]

It is awesome to live in a city where folks from around the country travel for vacation. Add a small deck on the garage and watch sunsets and fireworks from up there.

The roof turned out beautifully! Everything is coming together!

[@thinkmilly2810]

You lucked out aooo much doing this in December of 2020. We bought our house a year ago, but escrow didn’t close till 120+ days later because of the Bobcat fire. Roof was quoted in Dec of 2020 and OSB boards were about $30 per sheet. By April 2021, the coast had gone up to $90 per sheet. Thankfully our roofer had bought enough material when he quoted us. Good on you getting your roof done when you did! (We didn’t have a flat roof like yours, but just the same, you probably got great prices before they got super expensive.)

[@HydroHavenGrow]

BAM! So so cool. Gotta promote the good talent, businesses like that are rare and beautiful gems. As for the scum move, yeah, that was a scummy move (whoever did it... I wonder if that was pre-flip or earlier, but I guess you'd know). We had a new house built and we had a bunch of horrific stuff done as well... I guess you gotta pick your battles. Very cool, very exciting, big blue smashed and cultivated thumb up for you.

[@trishdavi7049]

[@GCaF]

I was happy to read the comments and people encouraging to call out the remodelers and maybe even get a lawyer involved. Where I'm from this thing is not possible, it's very common (to almost always happening) to buy a house with problems like these but there's nothing you can do. I was very surprised to see this happen in an USA homestead as my friends from the states tell me there's warranty and legal liability for stuff like that and action should be taken - so I'm glad people in the comments encourage you to do that :) I guess it mostly depends on the area and authorities and possibilities (both financial and otherwise) - like I said, where I'm from, this process would get you nowhere but maybe there you can get more support and have this solved legally. Hope you get reimbursed at least and continue the epic build. Love it so far!

[@epichomesteading]

Yeah I think it's a matter of should vs. practicality of what will actually happen if I do it

[@1977brian]

[@epichomesteading]

[@MsMeI]

That was unexpectedly fascinating.

[@epichomesteading]

I misspoke on the R-Value of the radiant barrier, it has no R-value!

[@jasonquenga]

I hope the radiant barrier plywood wasn't extra. It doesn't have an R-Value, but thats only one way to measure heat transfer. It still has a benefit, but since it looks like they put it directly on the old wood, you basically lose all benefit. It requires an air gap to work. Either way, that roof is still clearly 100x better than the old one! Congrats.

[@Lauradicus]

Ha! I caught that!

[@len10ten]

There is some R value just not what you thought. I bet your electric bill will decrease too! Nice roofing job!

[@jasonquenga]

@@len10ten to be clear and not too technical, the OSB itself has an R-Value of less than 1, and therefore not worth noting, but the radiant barrier itself does NOT have an R-Value.

[@csn583]

R-value refers specifically to conductive (solid) heat transfer resistance, so radiant heat reflection wouldn't be included. It's hard to put a number on the radiant resistance because it depends entirely on the details of the assembled system. Two solids pressed together still have a gap on the micro level, so it's not entirely useless without a "macro" air gap, but it would be useless if coated in a liquid which makes perfect contact. All ply/OSB has painted edges so the red is nothing exciting. It just signifies an uncut factory edge.

[@suecampbell4811]

Kevin, congrats on the new roof! It looks GREAT! Regarding the newspaper stuffed into the soffit, you luckily became aware of it and had it repaired. I believe that karma rebounds and those flippers will reap what they sow. If you are ever asked to be a reference for them or give a referral, you'll have opportunity to share your experience. But, just my two cents, unless you are planning to sue or expose yourself to charges of slander, chalk it up to lessons learned and keep on keeping on. By sharing it with us, we all now have insight about what to consider when we inspect a property (or hire an inspection company to assess a property). Between your garage floor, new shed and roof, you are well on your way to making that property better than ever!

Great video and a great job! Kudos to your people.

[@epichomesteading]

Thank you kindly!

[@TheStephozz]

TPO is a good option and it's really easy to repair which is great for whenever you're putting solar on your system. Make sure to claim your LEED credits for it and your tax write off for the re-roof (if you finished in 2020 you can claim on 2021 taxes). TPO Roofs have an average lifespan of 15-20 years with proper care and maintenance otherwise they can weather at a much quicker rate. If you have any questions on how to take care of your system I've been in commercial roofing for almost 6 years now and I run the division for my company. If you ever put another single ply membrane on your home I'd recommend looking into manufacturer's who offer warranties to home owners. Firestone doesn't offer a manufacturer warranty on their membrane for residential construction which means the only thing protection you is your contractor's warranty. The roof looks great and the did a wonderful job putting the system together, and their detail work looks great!

Hi. If you know for sure that the sellers were the ones who did that, you have a legal right to call them on it. In CA any disclosure statement should highlight any repairs and that they were to code. Take pictures or more detailed video, check your disclosure, then call your agent. Even if you signed an arbitration clause (check sales papers), you can go to small claims if the damages are less than 10k. Good luck.

[@alexeloriaga8285]

Ooof, I'm listening to the part where you're talking about what the flippers did to skirt inspection in your home. My home was also a flip and we're battling a pretty gnarley flipping disaster too. I feel you dude. Just make sure to protect yourself legally before you call them out. You don't want to risk retaliation even if it saves somebody else from buying a shoddily remodeled home.

[@aimswanson1]

[@jenmoores3660]

It's illegal and not only should you call them out on the internet, but it would be smart to take them to court. There should be a type of seller disclosure statement the sellers had to supply, which states any issues (in Michigan, there is by law.) If they knowingly rigged the area to avoid disclosing the damage, they would be liable. In MI, the sellers are liable for 3 times the cost of the repair. I would go as far as having a more in-depth inspection with someone who is trained to find "hidden" problems. There may be more, and if you prove not only the soffit issue, you'd be able to establish a pattern of deception. Kick 'em where it hurts, their wallet!

Observation: improper plate and fastener pattern on insulation board / TPO over parapet should extend down the exterior walls then coped

Also, coping metal is an obsolete method of covering parapet walls. With a torch down cap sheet system you could have run it up over the walls and installed a bonded edge metal with no seams and fasteners to expand and contract, coming loose and becoming a maintenance item/leak.

Thankfully don't need to do my roof for a good 10 years or so. Did get the piping replaced (galvanized to pex) and in the process of getting the fireplace updated and fixed (will be putting in a wood fireplace insert) and the electrical is getting upgraded to a 200 amp service. Fun video to watch though.. I do miss visiting San Diego (a couple of my ships would pull in every once in a while and you can't fault the mild temps year round!)

@@epichomesteading No doubt. For me it is two-fold: 1) to upgrade my kitchen or route power to the outbuildings I want to build will require more than the 100 Amp I have now and 2) any new or upgraded service has to be buried so that, along with my cable internet, will go underground and I will have no aerial wires at all. Really just an (expensive) bonus but safer overall as well.

Thankyou excellent answer to my roof question after spending 8000.00 on a flat roof extension of my house covered in tpo that leaked through ceiling...so after going up to see finished job after a rain storm the following day i discovered ponding and 2 inches of rain on 75% of roof firstly no slope, no plywood board to at least flatten,looks like only insulation board was used under epdm rubber that was glued in strips....what went wrong????was 8000 used to do the least amt of work?perhaps or no discussion from the sales person? also i had to hire ceiling drywall to fix for 1200 more...so you have just explained what should be done to repair a flat roof on a house in a good area..i have a rancher with pitched roof and flat roof extension. obviously i had no money problem just wanted a good fix. thankyou

Hey kevin! Local San Diegan here who has purchased a home in San Diego earlier this year. I looked at several homes that were flipped by the same company that you bought your home from. I will not state their name in the comments but from my experience looking at their work for months earlier this year, I have to say it was not done well. Inside and outside work was shotty. I can tell by their signature aqua door that it's the same company. I would reach out to them and find out what legal rights you have. Do they have a warranty of any of their work? Good luck to you Kevin!

Yup, you know exactly who it is then!! Same fencing too, I imagine? I have a 1yr home warranty as well.
