I was about to ask if you're hiring till I heard 19 a sq. My dad was a Marine no leaks whatsoever is what he taught me. Thanks for the video it's nice to see somebody still cares about caring about the job you do.

[@NWIVeteranConstruction]

19 per sq while shingling, hourly on tear off. I've had 70 sq weeks with 34 tear off hours. Just the shingle time was 1300 bucks lol I don't see the issue with a guy making 19 an hour and 19 per sq. Back then anyway. I only ever was paid 17 hr and 19 per sq lol

[@whoami7566]

Fist off man thanks for all the videos. I've been learning a great amount from them. Is there any trick to shooting that nail for the chalk line to aim it right at the edge of the shingle like that? Your accuracy was nuts dude. Also when you open the bundle of shingles and slide it down your steps do you count based off the amount in each bundle? Looks like ya split it up in fours every fourth step I thought I seen you drop a couple more shingles. It would be badass to get on a roof with your crew and learn some real shit.

[@gerardguitarist]

Lot of crippled roofers out there in the world who didn't think it would ever happen to them. Any fall over 4 feet and you can get seriously hurt. I never used to wear a rope either. Doing 12/12's in the winter. Seen to many guys go off in my time. Stay safe man.

Do you have no worry about falling off the roof? Man just watching you I'm having some issues and I was a paratrooper!

[@torreyintahoe]

I was a roofer for a summer in 98'. After that I framed for 3 years and then went to paramedic school and joined the fire dept. I just retired and debating whether I should take on my roof by myself. 1800 sq foot home. A lot of the sheathing will need replacing as well. Guess it depends on how hard I want to work. I'm 50 and athletic but like a lot of guys my age, my back and knees aren't the best. I'd love to have this guy knock it out for me!

[@mikehause6585]

Dude watching you is like watching myself back when I roofed for a living. So many similarities it's crazy. I done things basically just how you do. I'd lay about 3 to 5 sq an hour on a flat clean roof. I'm roofing again in my 40s some and I'm lucky to get 2 or 3 😂🤦. Not a spring chicken anymore, ole back ain't what it used to be.

$19 a sq... I average 3.5 sq an hour on cut up roofs, 4.5 sq an hour on open.... 3.5 sq an hour x $19.00 a sq = 66.50 an hour. 4.5 sq an hour x $19.00 a sq = $85.50 (hour). Sounds pretty good in my books, pretty fair pay round these parts for just pounding nails.... every nails a dime, Ching, Ching...

[@notsure7874]

OSHA hit one of my friends in Tennessee, but thats because a jealous "competitor" called on him. He got hit on a 1 story 4:12 pitch. The harnesses on a job like that cause a lot more hazard than they solve - but he started having all his guys wear them after that.
