Roof box vent replacement

[@bobbyg4100]

Great job , Thank You for Sharing. I’m replacing 2-Vents today your video made a huge difference. God Bless You 🙏

[@project0077]

Thank you for this video. I've got two vents to replace due to squirrel squatters, which caused leakage. I wouldn't have thought this repair would be so simple and cheap. I thought I was going to need to have the whole roof done!! Thank you again!!

[@timwehage5176]

hey man, just a few thoughts. I'm a new homeowner who is trying to figure out how to DIY stuff. It's been pretty overwhelming since as the old adage goes, "I don't know what I don't know." Many of the roofing videos I've found on youtube try to quickly give a tutorial on how to do something, but honestly, as someone with ADHD, I like way more details than most, and I still haven't felt comfortable attempting roof repairs after watching these because I have literally never done this before and I feel like too many small things are completely glossed over. All of that to say, I REALLY APPRECIATE how you wear a gopro and literally show the entire process, not a demonstration on a fake roof or a 10 second overview of what needs to happen. You just show the whole thing. Not only that, you give tips and advice that I write down on a sheet of paper so I can refer to it later before I do something as seemingly crazy feeling as cutting a hole in my roof. So just wanted to say I appreciate your contributions to the people of the internet, and I wish you well.

Need to replace three this weekend due to a squirrel squatter. Best video on YT.

[@homes1001]

Damn. That was far faster and easier than I thought it would be. I thought I was going to have to pull and redo a part of my roof. Thank you.

[@GeorgeLamarche]

I do commercial roofing and been asked to help a friend on their residential roof repairs. This video was straight to the point and very informative. Thanks for the info!!!!!!!

[@shilohm85]

Wow thank you! Being a single female homeowner this made it look so much easier than I thought!

[@oscarguevara5089]

I would’ve put tar/caulking underneath the vent as well incase water gets underneath, but good job one of the few youtubers that knows what he’s actually doing

[@stixprogaming2718]

You actually don't need tar , tar can actually trap water after it expands and cause a leak

[@douglasmckenney4603]

Great video. Got a box vent leak and needed to know how to fix it. You did A great job showing how it’s done. I’m subscribing!

[@CreekToeJoe]

I'll be doing six like this tomorrow buddy tyvm

[@kermitefrog64]

I have to remove mine because I am putting on a metal roof. Thank you for the video.

[@TheOzarksPicker]

Straight forward not cocky! Excellent video brother! Thanks I'm about to tackle some roofing things and glad I found you!

[@GrandRoofingInc]

If you've got any questions let me know

[@kristinisme7266]

Thanks for the info I'm about to change 4 old dried out plastic vents

[@benjaminbolton9525]

Very well done and informative. Will use this to guide my replacement diy. Took note of using only spots of sealant to prevent trapping water.

[@georgejoeckel7663]

Very well done! Thanks for making this 👍

[@MrJake9191]

Thanks for all your videos

[@dafickler]

Good stuff. I get to replace 4 plastic pieces of crap that completely disintegrated.

[@jimmytwinsburg4734]

Great presentation! Made it look pretty easy. Keep yup the good work.

[@ValsGym]

Excellent work mate. Cheers

[@CJEDI7TV]

I'm doing one on the 4th as well... it's a metal vent replacement and MUCH higher up but thanks for the video. Mag Hatchet - check!

[@davidcrowe4104]

Thanks I'll remember not to repel down my air hose line, great story. Good video easy to understand

[@incognitonunyabuisness5192]

[@michaeleconomides4054]

Awesome. I have some roof vents that need replacing this is just what I was looking for. Thanks

[@FrankWalshVideo]

Thank you, great video, direct and detailed. Nicely done.

[@christinam.3715]

My uncle built an airplane in his garage in the 1980s and there was a large amount of duct tape involved! It flew, too! I wish I had a photo. I was a little kid at the time.

[@douglasmyers9575]

Great job!

[@jerryschauss7848]

Thanks for the information.

[@stumpynubs5387]

Geo Seal 4500 is the best adhesive

[@billbliss2500]

[@CantHaveNiceThings8]

Thank you for the video!!

[@gordonw9208]

Skylight on my 1980 datsun leaked real bad. Duct tape sealed it til the head gasket blew out

[@SheenaRea]

Thank you!

[@ScottWConvid19]

8 years ago, my bumper on my Sierra started to rust through. I covered it with Gorilla tape and it's been on there ever since. Gorilla tape is way better than duct tape

[@GrandRoofingInc]

Hahaha, I haven't heard of that one.

[@GrandRoofingInc]

I wish I could post a picture of my Sierras bumper, there's nothing left to tape.

[@ResearchNational]

On a roof years ago I found someone had flipped over an old gallon paint can, cut a hole in the side and caulked it to the shingles. That was their vent! Stupidest thing I've seen. Wish I had a photo of it but those were pre-cell phone days.

[@GrandRoofingInc]

Lol wow

[@nmatthew7469]

Good one man, like it.

[@DNL82]

I saw someone make a duck tape hammock

[@michaelbradshaw2069]

Cousin broke a tie rod waaaay back on an old logging road zip ties and duct tape got us home

[@cajun3197]

Very helpful

[@paul-rc7mh]

I saw a roofer putting 9 nails per shingle here in Vermont

[@jessearredondo9086]

Awesome!!

[@GrandRoofingInc]

Thanks!

[@chrismantei1877]

Do you fully warranty this repair?

[@alisha7224]

Thanks!

[@stixprogaming2718]

Good tip for tar, spit on your finger then rub it in

[@georgetemnycky1610]

Great video! Who makes replacement box vent you are using? Plastic or metal? Thanks

[@MillionaireMelnMonte]

I thought roofer say you have to replace the shingles

[@livefreeordie7368]

Is that sealer silicone or a black jack?

[@thomas-wd3cn]

What is an acceptable charge for your services here?

[@nextlevelenterprises5258]

What about the shingles around it that are now damaged and have holes in them? Would it be best to replace them as well?

[@davidlysohirka798]

Those shingles should be replaced . relying on silicone is not good practice.

[@janetsteward6437]

What is the brand/type of box vent you used to replace it. Do you have a link? Thank you!

[@patrickbehan4773]

Nice video. I need that exact vent what kind is it?

[@mariorueda8918]

I seen your videos for a while Why don’t you use a ladder rack, maybe a canopy to cover all your things from weather I’m Oregon weather is crazy

[@khurramhabibi5983]

I had one of these just replaced. Looking up from the attic I can see some overlap of the vent edge over the original opening. Like it wasn't aligned perfectly. Is that ok?

[@incognitonunyabuisness5192]

Do Zach of all trades 1 square roofing challenge

[@incognitonunyabuisness5192]

Just food for thought here...commenting on other contractor KZbin pages and participating in an online challenge will advertise your channel even if the KZbin algorithm isn’t helping you.

[@GrandRoofingInc]

I do try to comment on other channel pages yes, but not sure what you're talking about with online challenges? I appreciate any tips thank you!

[@incognitonunyabuisness5192]

Grand Roofing Inc. right on, I guess what I specifically mean with the online challenge is Zach of all trades has a 1 square roofing challenge where other contractors post their videos and time their run and compete against him in friendly competition thus creating buzz. His channel was named worlds fastest shingler (provocative name). KZbin’s roofing community (who probably are the ones searching and looking these types of videos up) seems to enjoy it.

[@GrandRoofingInc]

Oh thank you, I think I've seen some of his videos. I think he lives just a couple hours from me up in northern Indiana South bend area somewhere. He's an ex-military guy right? Where are you watching from?

[@incognitonunyabuisness5192]

[@yvette968]

I need to replace my vent as it’s causing the roof to leak. I’m in NJ. What would someone charge to have this done on average?

[@mjktrash]

Are not all roofing hatchets magnetic? The one you listed is $70, while others are $30ish (Stanley, Vaughan)

[@GrandRoofingInc]

This one has a very strong neodymium magnet embedded in the center of the head. Some others have a magnet on the top part for just getting the nails started.

[@maddogman133]

Why plastic you know a squirrel will chew through that right?

[@cosmic1663]

What did you do to the nail on the bottom of the vent that were exposed?

[@dcmarvelunited5529]

The old nails that come out, do you have to individually seal those holes that they make?

[@spencerhansen8374]

Only if you don't want to worry about leaks, up to you.

[@aardvark9119]

Get a stand off for your ladder. Don't ever lean your ladder on the gutter.

Leaking Ford windshield sealer.

[@JesseWickline]

How much do you charge for something like that in your area ?

[@davidlysohirka798]

Your ladder is to steep ratio should be 4:1...and is not extended above roof edge 3'. Good job tieing ladder off!

[@ResearchNational]

I never extend my ladder 3' above and everyone has their own comfortability with ladders. You have to do what works for you not what OSHA says is ideal. I like my ladder 1 ft. Above gutter but no more.

[@davidlysohirka798]

@@ResearchNational its nice to do whats comfortable ! Here in B.C , Worksafe is pretty tough on contractors. You choose not follow there rules, then be prepared to open up your wallet. Fines are not cheap and double everytime you are caught with the same infraction. I heard of a company on the coast that was fined $15,000 one day, $30,000 the next for not wearing harness when required! Brutal!

[@baheegdeek3138]

Those shingles should all have been replaced. This is not the proper way. But if the customer is cheap I guess that's what they paid for.

[@gordonw9208]

Lol he explains that they should be but why he isnt while making this video
