First Person Roofing

[@familyfleetdiy5977]

That height and pitch is exactly why I don't do roofing. Got dizzy just watching this lol

[@Reckless_In_Texas]

I'm a mechanic now, but I used to roof back in the day, its great seeing these videos now as a refresher because I can't afford 15,000 for a new roof. Keep up the great work Dylan.

[@theroofer3181]

I'm 52 and been roofing since I was 16 or 17. I still hate steep roofs. Hated them then, hate them now. We used to roof with no harnesses back in the day, did everything off of roof jacks. Love your videos.

[@stewbeats3171]

Honestly I just like watching these pov videos while I go to sleep 😂😂 something about watching someone do hard labor is really soothing and makes super tired 😂😂

[@darksoulsss2618]

Its called asmr. And it is relaxing.

[@gentrifythis]

2x4 nailed on second row and a 2x10 nailed to that. Creates an L bracket..stops anything from falling. Move your tralier around to throw each side in. No tarps needed. Just cover up flower beds with plywood for the odd piece that falls. 2 guys spaced apart correctly to get your bottom 4's on ladders.. each runner gets 9 foot ice..4 starters and 8 shingles, 2 jacks and a plank.. bottom 4 on in less then 30 minutes. After that 1 guy runs underlay while the 2nd guy gets the course ready..

I have done many roofs over the last 40 yrs,took alot of pride in my work because it was hard work,but after watching others do this type of work,I have finally realized it's a crappy hard way to make a living and I should have charged more money for doing it.

[@katehebert2266]

Im just watching this cause my bf's a roofer and I miss him.

[@squeezybearr5337]

This is so cute

[@Flyingwith_Fabio]

Happy to be a flat roofer. Working on slopped roofs is so difficult. Kudos to you bud.

[@ryan-uz1rw]

Got anxiety watching this. I think the highest I want to be off the ground is my shed roof, and that kinda frightens me too. But it needs shingles and I’m cheap and don’t want to pay someone to do it. However, when the house needs new shingles I’ll gladly let someone else do it 😅

[@wylandreed9797]

Low key, you can carry any ladder straight right off the ladder rack. Much love brother, props to propping that ladder up the way you did tho.

good old crumbly rips

Was a little disappointed the video ended without seeing the finished product. But i enjoyed the video!

[@Average_Roofer]

Robert Harper there is another video, of a different roof on my channel (from start to finish)

[@Billybob0924]

@@Average_Roofer i know. Ive watched a couple. Roofing videos just started to come on my timeline. I liked the first video i seen so i subscribed to you. Just letting you know how I felt about the video ending without seeing the finished product ect. Maybe if it gets too hot in the future and you want to not wear the gopro, you can maybe take pictures or a quick video at the end so that we can see the finished product. Maybe you could look into other attachment options or stands where you could set the gopro up in a spot an it film from aside

[@OLIVERJMIXON]

Good job. Keep it up!!

Great Video 👍

On a 12 x 12 right now. Gotta love roofing 🤙🏾

[@packratswhatif.3990]

All kinds of respect out to you roofers ! I couldnt take the heat or that one fall off the roof. On those hots days it should be mandatory to have a good stiff breeze.

[@silentwolf7343]

if i wasnt deathly afraid of heights, this be kinda cool job to do

[@MikeHenry3280]

took me a sec to realize it was BDR there to... hahh but we were not watching one of his videos.. funny seeing him in another video, someone elses.. and actually working hahah jk..good stuff

[@randomreviews595]

So I'm wondering about my roof I have a smaller colonial house that has aluminum siding. It has two roofs, the side roof meets the upper level of the house. There is an aluminum edge that hangs over the top of the shingles where it meets the upper level of the house. How do I go about doing that? Is there like a strip I need to put down like when you start the shingles or does the paper just go there and you place shingles under it some how?

[@Average_Roofer]

Pixel2 Xl if you are tying into a wall carefully remove the existing shingles. Under the L flashing you see on the roof there are small flashings called step flashings. As you shingle up you always tuck under the step flashing. I did a step flashing video a while ago. I’ll tag the link here

[@Average_Roofer]

Mike Erb dome it this way for year. I use less nails than most guys but I’m light and always wear a rope. Plus nobody goes on my side but me. I usually work alone. For most, you are absolutely correct though!

If you follow the stagger opposite of the way it was put on you would be a beast.

[@theroofguru807]

Did you guys buck those shingles ?

[@Average_Roofer]

Roof Guru yes sir

[@seanmacdonald280]

@@Average_Roofer Question for you Dylan do you guys not get rooftop delivery? you'd save money, at least where I am you would, its 35$ rooftop delivery, so pay the 35$ have them unloaded onto the roof in 10 minutes, rather then have 4 guys lug them for an hour or 2 and have to pay their wages.

[@jjsroofing860]

You guys don’t like leading edge starters? I know there kinda small. Only problem with flipping a shingle rock side down is they wear out between the shingle joints. I see it all the time when we tear-off jobs done that way. Wouldn’t rock side up be better unless your concerned about the tar line not sealing.

Tarps before the ladder dildo come on buddy make life easier not harder! Keep on rocking dude, been roofing for 6 years and wouldn't trade it for anything, other then a new back and some knees haha

[@nathanharper1267]

If you ain't hanging from your rope to stay on the roof then that is not steep... 8 /12 I'm guessing anything passed 10/12 is steep dillywacker!

[@Average_Roofer]

Nathan Harper it’s about a 9. Had to use cushions when shingling. New shoes is the only reason I could walk it.

[@UndisputedRoofer]

Get some 16's instead of ridge vent nails.

[@kirkbrown7916]

No underlayment?

[@Average_Roofer]

Kirk Brown none that was existing no

[@Average_Roofer]

Kirk Brown oh yeah we put full underlayment on all our roofs. Got too hot to wear the GoPro on the head. This video was incomplete

[@egrueg]

Pretty sure there are starter shingles that are supposed to be used per manufacturer installation instructions. Can't believe whole full sized laminate shingles were used for starter.
