You think you're a fast roofer?watch this!!(2)

you think you're a fast roofer? watch this!! I made this video with the Idea to show the newcomers to the roofing trade , a faster way to set the shingle without dropping and picking up the gun every time they nail.
Hope this video helps the viewers to understand the purpose of this video.
Remember this is a instructional video on how to use this technique.
greetings.
Eric.

This is exactly the way I shingle. The only way to shingle this fast is to never but the gun down, and your advice to put the nail on the line is precisely what makes his work quality. Unfortunately, few shingle manufacturers, very fee contractors and even fewer roofers give a damn where the nail is. High nailing will cause shingles to slide within 7 years, but you can not file a manufacturer’s claim.

"You think you're a fast roofer?" ....Hey man, I don't want no trouble...I'm just here to WATCH.

[@warrengilmer8235]

Hey Brother, I'm not a roofer but I work in the construction industry, and I think this is a great video. First of all, the pride that you take in your craft and the amount of "care" you demonstrate in doing the job "right", is rare but encouraging. I always love seeing someone who still takes pride in their work. It's obvious that you not only know what needs to be done, but you also care enough to make sure it is done correctly. Secondly, your willingness and desire to share your knowledge, is the mark of a true and confident professional. Since graduating from UGA in 2003, I've worked in multiple industries but unfortunately, one thing that I've seen across the board, is an unwillingness of people to share their knowledge and/or their techniques with others that work for the same company and/or are new to the industry. In most of these instances it is because these people are so insecure that they worry someone else may be just a little bit better than them at something. As I said, it takes a self-confident professional with a true passion for their craft, to share their technique and implore other's to utilize it. Thank you again for the great video and for the quality work that you do.

[@nunyabiznez6381]

He does fast work. His shingles are out of line by 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch and his nail line is crooked and if you look you can see he does not follow his own advice. Maybe this roof will last 25 or 30 years at best. The one I put on my own house 36 years ago looks brand new today and the one my grandfather put on his roof in 1915 is still in good condition and neither his nor mine has ever leaked and that is the most important function of any roof. Roofers today rarely warranty their work for more than ten years and few last more than 30 because of sloppy work and taking short cuts.

His nailer sounds like the Terminator theme. Bad ass and bueno trebajo or however work is spelled in spainish.

[@iamjacksyoutube5375]

chad yeager I was hearing Who Framed Roger Rabbit "shave and a hair cut" I kept waiting for a giant cartoon rabbit to bust through the roof and sing "two bits!"

[@lakecityransom]

Should play the terminator theme on loop for motivation nailing along to it.

[@lavwrenbeeh7836]

I have nothing but mad respect for you and for your crew Sir!

[@Jay-hh1sm]

[@kizrom4362]

No cuz then ur walking back and fourth more guy

[@wilheys.6224]

[@gjsilvano]

Great video , I am very impressed by the way you worked on that roof. Not only were you fast, you're very good too!!!! Nice neat work, BE CAREFUL UP THERE!!! 👍

[@TheOldBoy101]

Thank you for making this video and sharing your experience with us. Its nice when people help out the do it yourself (DYI)community. I will be giving back as well and will submit a video on replacing a attic fan motor from the inside of the attic. its actually an easy job when you have all the right tools and techniques to get the job done.

[@lansonwebb]

So much joy stumbling across this video 😂

[@ambuscader]

Totally nailed it!

[@JohnSmith-dh3kx]

yes, I suppose he did

[@andrewwhitney7296]

Here is a tip don't stand on shingles that aren't nailed in to the roof

[@FCA1975]

3:15 Nor throw down the nail gun as not to damage it, or risk it sliding off the roof and hitting something/someone.

[@addicted1794]

There is no osha there.

[@mylesmcneley5425]

You’re exactly right people don’t understand that you’re suppose to hold nail back on Seam. So many people nail right close to Seam drives me insane, the nails will rust the heads and leak and it doesn’t take long

[@filsolano5465]

What the hell is wrong with me? I just got off from work, and I’m here watching this guy work!

[@trevorgray345]

Same 🤣

[@juniorkawai6131]

You want fast? I know of a roofer who is so fast even his shadow can't keep up!

[@juniorkawai6131]

He doesn't use a ladder...he floats in the air.

[@Garciasroofing]

Please viewers...get the main idea, this video was made with the purpose to show the technique on how to set the shingles faster with the tip of the nail gun, i can nail way faster than that, but I'm not here to show you all my arsenal, I'm here to show the basics of the roofing trade. thank you everyone.

[@tonysnowtexas8906]

Im not a roofer im a fence installer in houston Texas . Roofing is hard work and so is fencing

[@adielpiedra3533]

Julio Lopez that ain't shyt try working in building grain bins and masonry u won't last a day if u think roofing and fencing is hard work

[@danhinckley54]

I work at Diamond Pacific as a roofing specialist great video not only did you show your skill but explaining two amateurs all the details as important thank you for your time

[@zeroofthebeat4658]

I'm surprised this video got so many views as it did. A lot of people don't care to see someone doing hard work. Great job!

[@SkillBuilder]

You are clearly a talented man and do a good job but what surprises me is that a technologically advanced country is using this as a roof covering. In the U.K that stuff would only be used on a garden shed but in the America and Canada it is used on expensive houses.

[@thespectralsorrows]

Indeed, this is how we keep our economy strong, you have to buy a new roof every 20 years, new material, labor, trucks, gasoline, land fill, etc.

[@VideoGameChimp5]

Yea replacing roofs is the norm here. Probably have to replace a roof every 10- 20 years but it only takes a few days to do it. Maybe a week if you have a larger house

[@magnumxlpi]

Skill Builder but house are also a lot less money... and you can pick whatever materials you want if you have a house built vs buying an already built one

[@ThePols87]

What is it that you use in the UK?

[@SkillBuilder]

Almost always it is clay or concrete tiles or natural slates. The roof pitch needs to be steeper and the structure stronger but you get a 100 years out of a roof.

[@clockbeat]

when he is nailing it sounds like a song listen carefully

[@ust2bfast]

Just like racing, straight aways are free, well that's where the money is. As a builder I would watch roofers get to the valleys and overhangs. That's where the talent really comes in. Awesome work boys, don't let up.

[@wesleyburns4566]

Roofing is an art and he just did a masterpiece great job 💥

[@Garciasroofing]

I haven't met any roofer yet that nail every nail perfect, we are not robots, i can tell that my nailing is 90% perfect, i can pass any city inspection or architectural inspection, you might see the nails deep but Thats the angle of the camera, have a Nice day!

[@draconite420]

I agree fully, every roofer will have the odd nail not where it should be but for the most part the good roofers all the jobs pass and a lot of coverage gets layed quickly. ofc us roofers are usually the least appreciated in the trades.

[@57menjr]

never seen single inspection.....lol

Thank you for this video, I live in Canada and I have to do my roof again after 18 years. The contractor was using the IKO shingles on my roof and I was told that the product has 25 years of warranty, however, the shingles on the sunny side started to fall apart already after 18 years. I have contacted IKO and they are offering me the warranty reimbursement ONLY if I use their shingles again. My question is what is the normal lifespan for the shingles in general? How good these IKO shingles in comparison to the other brands?

[@gmadman7]

Sweet gig. I’d love to get into this after I’m out of the army.

[@kylejohnston3496]

Damn , I’m about to go buy a coil nailer. You made that look fun. Nice job.

[@oscaresquivel472]

It has the beat of the McDonald's comercial Para pa pa pa I'm lovin it lmao 😂✌🏼️

[@Garciasroofing]

In this video: I was trying to show the technique we use to set the shingles in place ,so you don't have to drop the gun every time you use both hands to set the shingle in place, I've seen many roofers working on their knees , setting the shingles before they make the video, in this video i didn't set up anything, i just opened the shingles and set them to my left, my left hand is the one that grabs them and my right hand holds the nail gun to help align them in place, it looks so simple but i would love to see many of the guys that use both hands to just set the shingles in place, trying to do what i do in the video. Also i was nailing at slower pace trying to show the nail patern, by the way the shingles are from Owens Corning true defintion, they come in a bundles and they're set up like you see in the bundle, 1 shingle is upside down and the other is not, so you have to flip every other one . sorry for the many haters that are missing the big picture here, I'll make another video showing the different techniques on how to install shingles. thanks for watching!!! Eric Garcia.

[@randykendall2324]

I use to tell my crews same thing nail right then get fast I don’t lay my gun down and I place all 5 nails the same apart your 3-4th nails are close to each other and I’m faster I did 6sq in 32mins with a pipe and half of the wall to cut I can hand drive 3sq hour constantly if you have a good thrower you can go faster and torch down I love but mope down I’ve done my share you can have it I seen a kettle blow up on a guy it’s not pretty I’ve seen people hurry and splash people not good I’ve done tin shacks I still like shingles I’ve been luck to work some old Victorian homes with shingles that haven’t been sold in 60years found in wear houses stored up left overs like the diamond shingle they first came out with and them tiger striped shingles most people don’t see them unless you take of a 3-4payer roof out in Virginia and places like that when you buy a gun take the shit of the bottom makes gun faster don’t bottom out or snag on you and it’s not all in how fast you shot it it’s how fast u lay it on key that wins the race every time

[@ericswanson7134]

Roofing Solutions by Eric Garcia I,will use that on my next roof.. thanks for posting..

[@theshit2496]

Your slow fool lol

[@theshit2496]

He went below the nail strip,pendejo

[@adam901able]

I use the same technique gauging with the gun on the one end- only way to do it lol

[@VideoNash]

I'm a 35yr remodeler, although I have no idea about roofing. It is good to see business owners who are very proud of their life's career and the work that they do. I did subscribe to your channel, for work on my roof. Too bad you're not in my area, I'd just go ahead and pay your crew to do the job..

[@dennybrown8217]

Hi, I think you do a great job. Looks great and it's waterproof. That's all that matters. Keep the videos coming. I'm a rookie, but I'm learning daily. I live in Ohio and roof all year long.

nice work! love how you use to toe of the gun as i spacer, then line up the front...my next boss will think im the sh!t..2020

[@iskavetaa464]

Props for nailing, he seems to be a handy man indeed. Personally I would never pick shingles, never pick nails when attaching my roof. Tin plate roof with stainless screws onyl. Just like nailing wall planks you should never shoot a nail from up to down, always from down to up so the outer end of the nail is lower and water can't leak in, it's always leaking out if it gets to the nail.

[@carlosmadeira3530]

everytime Mexicans and Guatemalans do roofs I get called in to repair them thanks to you Mexicans and Guatemalans Better Business Bureau keeps giving me plenty of work
