Worst Roof Ever installed - Roof Over - Fix with Gaco Patch

Worst roof ever installed - roof over edition. This homeowner had a roof leak leaking into one of their rooms after a recent rain. They called to get an estimate for repair. Did a quick inspection and found that it was a roof over that was not done very good. The flat section was not flashed to the fascia of the roof above. They were strictly relying on a bead of caulking to keep it dry! That obviously failed. Did a quick walk over of some of the other roof sections and found other various issues.

[@pvtparts942]

That tie in tho 🧐

[@midiman5045]

I think you should come up with a 1 to 10 scale. Then base it on that.

[@baraklazza1595]

to be honest, i never actually type in the search bar, i usually just watch the recommended videos in my home page, and yet that's how i found your channel as i watch alot of construction type videos mabye thats why you came up in my recommendation

[@chriskeith5742]

Ha, I love your videos but sometimes watching these worst roof ever videos ( my favorite) I get paranoid about roof leaking. Just so many places little errors can be made on a shingled roof. Good thing is your videos are helping me know what to look out for, and if I ever do see any issues I believe I could take care of. My one roof is new, so definitely keeping an eye on for the first few rains. My roof on my other house is about 5 years old, and I wasn't able to watch your videos or watch the whole installation process like I did on this last roof replacement. Just going to have to remain vigilant... I appreciate your videos, btw... If you ever decide to offer a service where if someone videos questions/issues of their roof you and then you review videos and offer advice I'll be your first customer lol... Really hard to get an honest assessment from a professional these days.

[@GrandRoofingInc]

Thank you, I'm glad they are helping people! Where do you live?

[@chriskeith5742]

@Grand Roofing Inc. East Tennessee .....I see you on Facebook. I don't necessarily do social media, but I do have a generic Facebook account. I think i seen in one of your responses if someone posted a pic of a concern about their roof, you would give your opinion. Maybe I try sometime. You ever have any painting questions, feel free to reply to any of my comments. I've been watching all your new videos lately ( old ones too actually) and I will definitely be commenting from time to time. Appreciate taking time to do. I have learned a lot about roofing in a short time. It definitely helped when I just had my roof put on, too.

For me as a roofer. Worst roof ever really comes down to flashing. Especially on porch’s and chimneys. If the flashing is terrible then you know the roof is not done right.

[@alexanderwolfe9167]

Your videos are great! They have been educational for me as you look at the real issues and shortcuts. I’m not a roofer, but like to learn how to fix and do things properly as a DIYer. I just had a roof installed this spring and really wish I would have found your channel earlier. I would have asked you for a quote as I am in the same area. I will recommend you to my parents who will need a roof replacement soon.

[@GrandRoofingInc]

Glad the videos could help, are you in the Kokomo area or how close?

roof review

[@mt8149]

Thanks for the videos and content. I really appreciate them. Maybe consider mentioning specifics in the title like flashing, roof vent, starter strips, ice shield, vents, etc. along with the fix. People love to see the problem and the fix. I know I do because I'm always trying to improve and I want to know if my roof is done right.

[@GrandRoofingInc]

Thanks!

[@andrewcamp7877]

[@explorationuk6737]

[@jeffreylewis6733]

Love the video. As a Home Inspector I'm now using you videos for my employees to watch so they will have a reminder on what to look out for. Do you have a email that I could share some pictures on what we find with you?

[@GrandRoofingInc]

Yes, you can find them on the about tab on the channel. Can't wait to see them.

[@richsmith3120]

That roof will probably be leaking within a few years. It wasn't installed properly especially the first row and no flashing. Better talk to the new owners about all the problems you found.

[@falconers]

Whats a roofer find works for me... I think I know why you don;'t like saying "Worst Roof Ever"... Maybe "Roof surprises?" I dunno...

[@louisbrown2279]

Write a book roofing for dummies and you could call it worst yet roof ever

[@gagamoola]

"rad - roof inspections"

[@tc7518]

I am going to throw in a comment you may or may not of heard...But How To Fix the Worst Roof EVER...because that is what you are doing...fixing the worst roofs ever....hope this helps.

[@tc7518]

Agreeing with you the whole way...if your gong to spend thousands of dollars on a roof why would you not[ in the case of the roofer] place the shingles in proper line....so they at least look like the predecessor...Cedar shingles...or I could be totally wrong.....ahhhhhhhhhhhh...
