It's Just Business Roof Repair w/ Fast Handyman (3-Tab on a Trailer) #matchbox #entrepreneur #diy
In this video, we head out to a trailer roof repair job!
Pace Community Action Agency called us in for a bid, and as usual, Fast Handyman secured the job. They've trusted us with weatherization projects for over 3 years now.
First, we assess the damage. The culprit? Coping issues at the peak. Seems the shingles weren't high enough before the coping was installed, causing leaks.
To fix it, we remove a section of the coping and add another row of shingles (luckily, we grabbed some extras!). We then recut and reinstall the coping for a tight seal.
Moving down the roof, we find a vent sitting too low and leaking. We tackle this by removing the surrounding shingles and replacing the vent altogether. Thankfully, no wood rot here yet.
The real challenge is the back corner. Someone's previous attempt at a fix left a sticky mess of tar everywhere. We remove the patch, revealing a dip in the roof holding water. Yep, that explains a lot!
We pull the shingles and cut out the rotten decking. Some framing needs repair too, but that's a quick fix. With fresh decking, felt paper, and new shingles, this section is good as new!
Pace Community Action is thrilled, and the homeowner is finally leak-free! This is why we do what we do - helping people stay safe and dry in their homes. Pace will be sending folks in to handle the extensive water damage inside the trailer.
Stay tuned for more Fast Handyman adventures! We're always out there fixing things and helping people in our community.
