I'm not racist. I admit I'm not the greatest speaker in the world and I'm very scatter brained. My attack was not on Mexicans, I was actually trying to defend them. My attack was on the polo shirts. Those guys take advantage of hard working men and force crews to work for peanuts while they make all the money and they've never roofed a day in their life! They're the ones I have problem with! I have no issues with anybody that earns their living like this. Please no racist comments here. This ones for the boys that think they can teach people how to roof from a drone shot while other people perform the work. The dude's in office on the computer breaking down what their workers are doing. or there guys who built a platform in a closed environment! You're the problem! Where's your credibility video!

Thank you for your service first and foremost... I personally like watching your videos.

There's a lot I still have to learn, however watching your videos has increased my speed to where I can throw 18-20 square a day by myself depending on pitch and weather conditions. Thats not too bad for a guy who learned five months ago from scratch. Keep making videos and giving folks a chance to learn and I will keep watching.

Yeah, I was cocky and fast as hell when I was your age too. Ripping off three layers in 98 degrees 99% humidity in Central Alabama. Now as and old man I wished I took things a little slower and not beat the living shit out of my body. I started in construction at 13, by 16 my brother and I would do entire homes in a day, tear off and lay. Typical 1700 SF home. We killed ourselves. Now at 60 We are stoved up and can barely move some days. Take time to be good to your body now before it's too late. All that money we made and for what? We are so beat the hell up we can barely enjoy life. It's not always about speed. Speed is only important if you want to make good money fast. That thought process after 20-30 years gets old fast.

Ok, I think you guys are missing the fucking point. It seems I have to explain....The lesson kids is not wether I'll be around in 30 years, but to try and take care not to kill yourself while your young, I'm paying a huge price for "timing" my work when I was young and strong, in construction and in the military. See class, when you beat the living shit out of your body for 40+ years, you will pay the price and all for chasing that almighty dollar bill. I hope today's lesson is a little more clearer. And for you smartass pricks pointing out the obvious of 30 years equalling 90 that's great you can add! Call me in 30 years, is considered a descriptive future occurrence. In others words a matter of speech, it's not literal. Understand now boys and girls? Stop killing yourself, take time to work smart not hard. You'll wish you had, got it? But, what do I know, nothing. Do as you please. I know I wish I had listened to the old timers back in the day! I was cocky and thought I knew everything. I still don't know shit. I do know one thing, my broken up, arthritis and cancer ridden body hurts like a bitch every damn day now. I'll give you one guess why! But go ahead act like the badasses that you think you are and have fun with that. And you can still call me in 30 years!

[@Ohm51]

I like that trick where he runs three consecutive full shingles in a row to the left (and you think to yourself wtf is he doing?) ... and then he trims the upper most by 1/3 and then cuts the quarter notch from the one below it ... those cuts seems counter-intutive at first but they obviously work. That's a pretty slick trick. (And the bonus ... because they are partially nailed, no need to have one hand holding the shingle and one hand on the knife) That plus how he lays out all of his full bundles in exactly the right place making it easy to reach and transfer to the successive laddering course above is the epitome of efficient. Really impressed with how smart and quick you ran this.

[@johnryan1287]

@@RaceboyYT Wood roofing lasts 35-40 yrs when installed correctly. It needs to be installed on slats so that the cedar can breathe underneath. There is a product called cedar breather that is used when you install on solid decking, If you don't install in either of these 2 methods then yes it will rot quickly. Someone who knows how to roof would never install wood shingles directly onto the decking. And yes, slate is very expensive. But stone or slate is absolutely the best roofing material. Easily lasting 150 yrs. Easy to repair, if you're a roofer. You get what you pay for in roofing material.

It does my heart good to know that there are still guys out there that know how to work.

[@tommoore5414]

I hear you brother, I miss the carefree days of ruining our knees, backs, whatever. i loved it most of the time. I was 18 on a framing crew and I was about 45 when I remodeled my last kitchen the pain won and i'm done ha ha

[@tommoore5414]

It was a sad day when i had to hire a roofer for my house,it's only 7 sq.

[@MowMud]

I'm a roofer too. I thought you were going slow, and you do run a nailer slow, but you have the right spirit. You don't give up. There is days of speed and other days of need. It appears to me that you did this yourself. I learned some things.

[@robertcaudill2544]

Oh yeah I forgot. In the 70's we didn't have pneumatic coil roofing nailers. Nail apron and a hammer brother. That was it! Old school!

[@DanielRenfro]

I roofed one of my houses years ago. I started the tear-off using just a pry bar then someone told me about the roofing shovel so I bought one. It made the job a lot easier. BUT, I never asked anyone how to use it. I ripped the whole thing off BACKWARDS. I started at the bottom and ripped to the ridge. That house had a hip roof and was difficult to get the ridges straight. It's been over 25 years and that roof has never leaked. I wish KZbin was around back then. I need to do another one, but my back hurt watching you. So I will hire someone for this one.

Good job, congratulations very professional. 😮

[@lesflynn2392]

I like the way you lay 3 full shingles then cut and use , that's much faster . You are good at time management .

Little exaggeration on worlds fastest roofer. Speed of a normal worker in any roofing company

Great job dude. But take it from someone who's laid down a few squares, old school, start seeing a chiropractor now. Good luck

I'm seeing that chiropractor now ! I decked and roofed homes/apartments around Tulsa for about 4 years and that's all I wanted. Car wreck didn't help which was after roofin.

In my day we did it with hammer and nail we had one guy that was damn near as fast as he was with that air hammer to this day Ive seen no one matching him he's probably dead now though... that was back in 91 we did housing duplex 21 apartments long on each side that had to be the biggest job we had ....I could recall we had a crew of 20

[@rodneyferri4849]

Outstanding job and that's from someone with over 20 years and well over five hundred roofs, most done by hand (no guns back in the day) you done good!!! My only advice is to use a safe and productive pace that can be maintained without crippling you in the end. My military mindset pushed me to do some crazy things. Humping four bundles up ladder,etc. Anyhow, my point is be safe, stay healthy and transition to a pen when it's time. meantime, your putting out great work you can be proud of...good promotional.

[@llawnmeister1973]

Although we don’t roof exactly the same, you do a great job!! Ignore the haters, they have no idea how lucrative this stuff can be!!!

My dad owns a roofing company and working with him we do everything almost the same as this guy

[@BroHay1025]

I am no roofer, but finding myself about to tackle job after watching. I appreciate the content and time to film. This episode showed me how you cut the steps for the 3rd/4th course before full shingle on your left side. Also on rt side, 19.5-24" piece and making sure to not place nail on seam. Hook blade or reg utility blade when cutting? I am also awaiting the roofing challenge for I read a lot of talk, but see no proof from those claiming to be faster.

[@NWIVeteranConstruction]

always use a hook blade when cutting shingles! also works better than a straight blade on ice shield, and if you're using synthetic felt (which I strongly recommend) a straight blade will cut better (fresh hook blade will work just fine though) I use a dual blade for both purposes plus I like slicing open my bundles with the straight blade

[@jdwar5419]

All u did was spoke truth my brother. I’m Mexican myself. Keep doing what u do and don’t worry what anyone else says. 👌

[@NWIVeteranConstruction]

yes sir you know i have nothing against Mexicans! that whole thing got misinterpreted. honestly I hate that Mexicans are taken advantage of my roofing companies started by some desk jockey that never laid a shingle in his life. subbing all the work out to anybody that'll do the job. unfortunately, a lot of Mexican crews, for unfair pay.

Masonry has a competition. Winner gets thousands in tools to help their business or for themselves. Just about every trade has a competition. It's crazy because the judges measure with a level, string and ruler. It's all built to code and with speed with 0 errors. True masters of their craft. The last comp I saw had a winner out of AZ.
