You don't need to use your finger to add the sealant to the nail heads, it was just about to drip onto the roof so I caught it at the last second. Edit: Everyone saying the pipe isn't insulated should notice that this is a cathedral ceiling. None of this is in an attic. The pipe is contained in a 100% conditioned space and surrounded by insulation where it matters.

I’m not judging but just so you know you should use ice and water to strip that in and don’t use cock use roof cement

@Tool_Addicted_Carpenter Жыл бұрын

@@williamrichardson5854 It's not caulking, it's flash mate. It's considered a commercial roofing sealant and the packaging says asphalt and roof boots right on it. I do agree that there are some things that could be added to make it potentially better, but they would have required me to remove some shingles. I've installed 100s of roof boots using this process and haven't had any issues. I appreciate your recommendations though.

@AC-ld4np Жыл бұрын

Great vid, but for one thing. don't use silicone on asphalt/fibreglass shingles. It eats the tar. Go back in a year and it will be stuck to the bottom of the upper shingle but the granules and a chunk of shingle where the silicone was will come up if you lift the shingle. In fact, p;ut some clear silicone on a shingle and go back in an hour an it'll be black with the leached tar. Instead, use an elastomeric /thermoplastic type sealant. Never use silicone on shingles. * roofer with 35+ years experience. I didn't know this for the first 15 years...

As a professional roofer for 13 years the only thing I would have suggested here is to add ice and water shield around the hole before the boot was installed and the around the top and sides of the boot to where the shingle row ends. This will ensure it never leaks around the booth or hole. I've been installing shingles to NRCA specs my entire career and for the last 3 years been exceeding them by adding my own based on regular customer call backs over the years. Since doing so my call backs have been reduced by over 75%. My suggestion above was one of our regular call backs leaks around boots. Good luck and all in all that was a clean install.

There's ice and water below the shingles but I agree. Some zip tape around the edges is always a good idea.

@Tool_Addicted_Carpenter Жыл бұрын

Globbing sealant doesn't necessarily increase effectiveness considering all the variables. I used ringshank stainless nails. If you've ever removed a ringshank nail then you know that the hold strength borders on screws. Most people would use a coated screw which doesn't compare to a stainless nails longevity. I know what you're saying though and I have used stainless screws for these. I'm well over 100 boots deep with no callbacks though, so that probably means something.

On a Reno job. What trade do you get to do this? Electrician brings power in for exhaust fan. Do you hire a seperate HVAC to hook vent up? Roofer to put roof vent in? Carpenter? It's that one gap I haven't figured out.

@Tool_Addicted_Carpenter Жыл бұрын

I usually install the fan where I want it, pipe it, and install the roof boot. I always have an electrician wire everything. Technically you should have an HVAC guy pipe it and a roofer boot it, but scheduling subs at the same time on the same day for a 30 minute procedure is not always easy and not very economical. If I do everything other than the electrical then it's much cheaper and you don't have 3 different people assuming responsibility if something goes wrong.

The only issue is that they have a proprietary bit so you're limited to the one that comes in the kit. They also recalled the gen 1 bit because high torque angle drills would twist them. For normal applications though, they're fast and awesome.
