Plus it's only one layer and new shingles.... I hated tearing double layer roofs. Old shingles are so crumbly and sometimes you need to wheel borrow/shovel it to the dumpster.... this job is a easy tear off that isnt tarred or nailed anywhere, this roof reminds me of the old staples they used during the big boom. The wind just blows em right off

My landscape design and construction company takes care of a summer home for these multi-millionaire customers of ours and they turned our bid down for building a retaining wall because the waitress at the restaurant told them that her boyfriend can do the retaining wall. Not only did it take them forever to build the wall but they didn't put any back wall bracing in with anchoring footings and the retaining wall fell over and the very expensive motorhome parked in the parking lot above the retaining wall went down the hill with the retaining wall. They lost a half a million-dollar camper all because they chose cheap labor.

I’ve been doing fences by myself for 7 years now in Florida and Georgia. I’ve always been a perfectionist when it comes to my fences. I just recently moved to Pennsylvania and got hired by a fence company and they made me feel the same way you do looking at this roof. They don’t use a string to set posts, no string to see the flow of the top rail. On wood fences they do 6 inches over the top rail leaving a huge gap at the bottom. Their rips are terrible and sometimes too small. My boss calls it the wow factor. To us it looks like shit but the customers most of the time don’t know the difference and think the fence looks great.

[@skipads5141]

4:57 Actually, a lot of carpenters leave loose seals on the downhill, be it vent boots or windows, etc. If decades down the road as things deteriorate, there won't be a silicone dam holding in moisture or minor leaks to exacerbate any future issues. Granted, where I live hardly anyone has a shallow walkable roof, so snow may build up and force its way into a boot at that low angle. Even with a low pitch I was impressed that shingle carpet was sticking down well enough without nails that he didn't slide right off the roof while walking around.

[@skipads5141]

Also, at some point somebody in the neighborhood or driving by must've noticed there was no noise from nails or visually seen guys just throwing them up there. That being said, the fact they kept a pretty straight pattern without kicking them out of place is a fairly impressive accomplishment without a nail.

I hope they're able to file suit! I'm dealing with this because of a contractor Home Depot contracted. Never allow Home Depot to offer installation! I didn't go with the cheapest, I went with the best warranty and reviews from customers. I'm beginning to think the, "customers" were faked. This has cost Home Depot a lot of money since they've been back 5 times to fix my roof.

I could be wrong but when I did roofing In my 20s about 30yeara ago the owner would make us lay flashing in the valleys and strike a line on each side and cut the shingles back so you would see the flashing for the water to run off. Is this the way it's done in the years to come to lay shingles over the valley's ..thank you for any roofers or anyone with experience let me know

[@NWIVeteranConstruction]

that is one good way to do a valley yes. but not the only way

[@Gambling_Grub_Games]

@@msack6904I put handyman in quotes for that reason. Of course not all are like this.

I've worked with many handymen who i'd trust to do this job. But never anyone I barely know, especially to save only $500 on such an expensive job.

Hop the border, make some $$$, send it home and vamanos.. In other words, you're getting Mexico's poor. Do you honestly think you'd get better results from America's poor?

As Professional Home Inspector, I have come across a similar installation issue on at least 4 homes in the last 3 years. I walked one roof and a 10x10 section became dislodged. I ended up surfing down the roof slope almost to the edge before I could get off of the section. Word to the wise, hire REAL professionals for your repairs and inspections. (Be willing to bet no permit was pulled on the roof in your video!)

[@NWIVeteranConstruction]

That's crazy lmao hilarious after the fact of course. Shameful that people are doing business like that

Since there are no nails could you re-use the shingles since they would be so easy to take off? I am not a roofer so I honestly have no idea.

I'm an amateur when it comes to roofs. I've done a bit, but usually assisting as dumb muscle. But in the few instances that I actually did something on my own, I opted for going to the extreme to make sure it stays on. I got a call from someone where I build a garden shed a few years ago, they wanted to put solar panels on it, and they guy from the panels couldn't get the shingles off. Obviously he couldnt, after I asked if they ever wanted to put solar panels on, and they said "no", I glued them on with XTac before I nailed them into place.

My Uncle few years ago had me come over with My Friend who does do roofs and look at his Roof after he had a company Put new one on. As Soon as We got there, Friend was like, That Does Not Look Right at all. All this as we are going up the driveway. So Friend went up on Roof and started looking around. Well The Company Did Not use a Single Nail(Or Screws) They used Silicon Caulk.(Guessing for it to last at least the 1 year warranty they gave.) The Ridge Cap was similar to what you had Just Shingles that were cut and Caulked down. Friend called someone and within a hour had County building inspector over to take a Look. in the End, Uncle took the company to Court, Friend and the Building inspector were there to give a report and Uncle was able to get all of his Money back and bit More. FYI this wasnt the Lowest Bid. He actually went with the One that was the 2nd to highest bid too. He had 5 Bids.
