The Worst Roofing Job Ever!

[@lancekuykendall3017]

I appreciate the video but not sure if telling people to hire local is the best answer. There are horrible roofers everywhere. The crew that did this roof I’m sure have done roofs that’s local to them. I say do homework. Get references. Listen to how they talk. I do more roofs out of town than local. Most of the time I’m out bid because local crews here will go low bc most people go with the cheapest estimate. You get what you pay for. Good quality work is to be respected, not a location on a map. I take the upmost pride in my job and always make sure it’s done right the first time. Can’t tell you how many roofs I have replaced or fixed locally and out of town. Love your videos! It’s nice to know there are roofers who care as much as we do

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Thank you for the reply I appreciate it and I agree with what you’re saying. But I will also say that it’s not only out of town or roofers to do this kind of work. Sometimes Out Or Town is come in and do great work. This just happened to be during a storm and I think they were just trying to make a quick buck in the area either way they didn’t do the job like I would have done it or like you would have done it thanks for the comments thanks for watching

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

The best Roofer probably has good reviews online bad roofer might not have any

[@RhinoXpress]

Heres the thing you have to watch out for with online reviews. There have been companies that have been caught rigging their reviews online to dupe consumers. They pay people or ask their employees to act like customers online and say nice things about them and give them a good review and good rating. That's why i don't trust free review search sites like google, home advisor and yelp. Paid search sites like angies list are a lot this prone to review rigging.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

The problem with not hiring local is you might never be able to get them back if you have a roof problem. When you hire somebody to do your roof do you want them to be able to come back.

[@lancekuykendall3017]

Drew's Roofing & Home Repair I don’t think you should look at it like that. When you hire a roofing company, you never want them to come back. If it’s done right you won’t need them

[@DrRestorations]

As a homeowner DIY, I prefer to hand-nail shingles to avoid over-shoot or under-shoot with compressed air driven nail gun. It takes longer time but every nail is properly in position.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

I agree hand nailing is best. I use a gun but I also know to set pressure

[@fortunehomes5734]

We need to teach the roofers how to adjust there nail guns and make sure to use there nail guns properly its very important on how the air gun is shooting into the shingles especially when the weather is hot

[@wynn4578]

If someone is building anything for anyone and charging money for it, I would hope they would know the basics such as adjusting their guns. Unfortunately many people that hire contractors don't know the right questions to ask. I would say forget the roofers, if they cant even adjust air pressure they don't need to be roofing. what we need to do is teach customers what to look for when hiring a contractor. With any potential customer I actually tell them even if they don't hire me for what ever reason, these are the things you look for and ask when hiring a contractor. Unfortunately a lot of customers will take the lowest bid and never research beyond the price.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

[@whip205inthebam3]

Drew, to me it is very obvious that this so called roofer did not know what he was doing. I myself would have to pull off some of that roofing to see if there is any other underlying problems that we are not seeing in the video. From some of the things I had researched prior to seeing this video I found that most of the pros do not recommend a second roof on mobile homes because of the added weight it puts on the structure. Not to say there is a second roof but I would have to see enough to rule that out. I myself don't even claim to be a roofer what I have done was mostly small jobs such as a garage roofs with nails and a hammer. I also did a fairly large duplex apartment and on it we used a staple gun and the staples were like 3/4" wide by maybe 1 or and 1/4 long. I only did the staple gun job because my uncle a retired construction worker had retired and recommended we use it to get the job done faster. I have never had any complaints about any of the jobs or work I have performed. The staple gun we used did not break the shingle and did penetrate the wood decking below very securely. The work in this video makes me sick because that roof won't hold up if most of those nails cracked the shingles. I couldn't have went that far without knowing something was wrong there is just no way. I pray the owner gets Justice and a new roof that's just wrong. Those people used at least 2 inch nails to me the nails only need to make it thru the decking and maybe a 1/4" beyond. I have never seen a nail gun that would shoot thru like that all the way through and took the shingle with it that's unreal.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Man I could not agree more. This job was ridiculous. And the installer was not local. So sad and I use 1-1/4 nails. I never go over the top of another layer of shingles

[@whip205inthebam3]

@@Drewsroofingandhomerepair I just last night saw a video another roofer had posted showing tons of shingles he could literally grab them by hand and slide them down the roof. From what he said and what I gathered from it the problem was the nails had been shot in the wrong place. The nails should have been shot into one layer and then into the second layer underneath however whomever did the roof shot them too high completely missing the row of shingles beneath. Let me try to find that video so you can see it, it is unbelievable. The video below is the one. Watch "the worst roofing job in history" on KZbin kzbin.info/www/bejne/np6kcoeVpJuKbrc

He may get to do the roof if those shingles start blowing off.

[@edwardthomas172]

I’d you know much about roofing he could of chalked all his lines up regardless that little strip of shingles would have been where the shingle met the main part of roof or at the bottom you can’t do anything about that

[@MoneyManHolmes]

I don’t really have a problem with that part. I’d rather have that strip at the bottom instead of in the field of the roof or cheat it in like 1/8 inch over several rows. But the poor nail placement and overdriven nails were painful to see. What a waste of money.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

I’m not sure what these guys were thinking when I did this roof but it hasn’t leaked yet

[@deadlymig123]

Ridge cap over ridge vent needs 3” nails. Very poor job

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

I agree

[@tinamcwilliams7029]

Looks like nails are to hi as well

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

High and low

[@Danielson1818]

DAMN I've never see an entire new roof like that. The ridge vent/caps is totally mind blowing though. It looks to me like the guy just loaded up his nail gun with only one size nail, didn't check the pressure, and did the entire roof in one shot... The sad part is that is a pretty simple job. I live in upstate New York. We don't have the same storms, but the architecture is a lot more complex on the old houses. More angles and surfaces. My buddies and I could do better with hammers and a bucket left over nails.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

Amazing

[@robertbutler8004]

I would have agreed with you if your title said the worst roofing material ever. (roof Shingles) it is a shit material even when it is installed correctly you would never see this shit on houses in Australia.

How do you not notice you're blowing your nails through the shingle? I like to hand nail myself.

[@Drewsroofingandhomerepair]

I like handling myself personally but I have used guns before also it was hot and they didn’t turn the pressure down on the compressor so they were shooting nails all the way through sure they knew it I just didn’t care. Most people know the homeowner is not going to go up there and look
