Dude, you are fast. No knee pads, you just stay low the low to the ground and no stop firing. Extremely efficient, great video.

Best cutting method I have seen. also I thought of cutting shingles with a paper cutter.

2 nd layer shingling Going too fast . Nails must be plum.. no knowledge of roof condition or underlay.. missing nails.. he didn't even drop a line for square. eyeballing the entire job makes for a sloppy 3rd rate hack job at best..not my house!

I’d hire him in a heart beat . He’s fast , no wasted moves .

Thumbs up - I’m not hating on your work . Yes I’m am a roofer I always like to do things right . That home owner will still get 30 years out of the shingle. There’s times I do want to give Custermer s a perfect job I always recommend take old Roof off and start fresh . One layer . But sometimes and most of the time they just don’t have the funds to do a rip off. If that’s the case cause I know I run into that a lot where Custermer cannot afford for me to do a rip off . My years on warranty on labor will be less . I won’t warranty a job if I don’t take it all off . I will but not for long . So when I re roof . I re paper entire Roof then go over it . Sometime I can’t even do that cause they don’t have a lot of money for the extra materials. Lol. So u did it looks good there’s no leaks and they happy you got paid clean up job sight that’s all that matters . No one know s the situation why you did it that way . People just want to study your nail placement . No one is on the roof watching any roofer . Every ones nail every roofer out there I’m sure every shingle nail placement is not perfect . Unless you gonna use a tape measure. For each shingle place the nail exactly where on the instructions of each bundles says to put the nail . 1inch 1-1/2 from the ends and 11-5/8 in . But who follows instructions. Nice job enjoys the vid.

Looks like he has a good work ethic and he's not sloppy/dirty. Just needs some good guidance on the mistakes he's made. Keep up the hard work, we all learn by doing and we get better with experience.

Other then the lay over this guy has one of the best nails patterns I've seen on youtube.

101 😆😆 more like 102 ways how not to nail Shingles

I feel bad for the guy that as to rip all that shitgle off. And do the job right. 😔

So many things wrong with the job, but he's consistent

Baddddddd job hack!!!! How not to install a roof not even nailing the whole shingle across wtf

I like how you nail the end of the previous step as you set the next. Im going to try that one. Also what gun is that? Seems to nail smoothly

I wish I wasn't so fat so I could do roofing again! Good sh*t my dude!

Everybody siding with this " roofers " video speaking about building codes being different in different areas are obviously not educated journeyman in this trade , this installation will not be accepted for warranty from the manufacturer due to improper installation which does not vary from state to state , the ONLT interstate variances in install are nailing pattern for high wind areas , then the use of ice & water shield , everything else stays the same . #1 defect , starter shingle is 100% wrong , if using 3 tabs for starters the tabs are supposed to be trimmed off so the " tar line " of the starter shingle meets the drip line of the drip edge metal , that way the gutter edge shingle is secured at the leading edge by the tar strip , leaving the tabs on & flipping the shingle puts the tar line of the starter shingle away from the edge which leaves the 1st course of shingles unattached at the edge . #2 defect is again starter shingle , industry standard is that starter shingle be used around ALL PERIMITER EDGES , even the rake or gable edges need starter strips , the rake starter shingle is supposed to be installed the same as the drip starter shingle , all 3 tabs cut away & the tar line of the rake starter meeting up with the outer edge of the drip metal , the rake starter is to secure the rake edge of shingles to a continuous tar strip to avoid wind uplift , most shingle applicators skip the rake starter all together , because most don't even know it's needed but needed it is , the missing rake starter strip is the cause of most "blow offs " where home owners insurance will not pay for repairs . #3 possible defect , missing ice & water shield at perimeter , if this home gets snow on its roof then ice shield at gutter edge is a must for all snow zones , the lack of ice shield will allow water from ice dams to flow uphill , then into the homes outer wall , ice shield should be a minimum of 12 inches into the heated interior of the home , with the entire unheated exterior roof deck covered 100% , ice & water shield codes only apply in states where it snows regularly & are not open to exclusion , many shingle installers skip installing ice shield because it's material cost is over $50 a square for cheap material & will only leak with ice dams . The missing rake edge starter strip is mandatory nationwide , the improperly installed gutter edge starter strip is mandatory nationwide , it's bullshit that " shingle applicators " pull this kind of scrappy workmanship because it giver real ROOFERS a bad name , should this home owner apply for the manufacturer 20-30 yr warranty he'd find out his roof is not eligible for the manufacturer warranty because of faulty installation , and missing components , what I just wrote is not personal opinion , nor does it vary from state to state , I posted factual industry guidelines for nation wide installation in all climate zones

He is doing a good job. There is nothing wrong with his nailing pattern. He is real consistent at what he is doing. If the customers did not want to pay for the roof to be removed it looks like he is doing an excellent job. Keep up the good work.

good roofer. I like that paper cutter. Straight cuts. I like straight. I use tin snips and a speed square. Don't need 5 nails. Package says 4. Won't have to reload so often.

On a roof over consider NESTING the new second layer when going over the 3 tab.. Way better results all around its how certainteed and most manufactures suggest. itstead of flopping them anywhere you want, NESTING has every shingle of the roof over laying smooth with no voids in-between the two layers. look that shit up and do it. its faster too. butt the top of your new shingle to the bottom of the three tab. boom boom boom. its takes a lil bit of prep on the first three course. once you try it you'll see and never do it any other way. its better period. good luck.

Real fast roofer, amazing

Roofing not easy do it just about every week . Gives your body a beating. I love doing it . He's doing a good job I would had love to see on a re roof paper down over old shingles but depends on Custermer and how much they are looking to spend not always up to roofer we all know there's a right way and or we may need to leave certain step out . If if has to do costing extra and if Custer doesn't want to pay fo additional steps . Then they get what they pay for or labor warranty will be shorten as far as leaks . But yes for me to guarantee a perfect job 100 per I need to take entire old roof off down to plywood. But sometimes Custermer s cannot afford it . But if gonna do a re roof protect yourself out paper over old shingle s as of it was plywood same way drip edges if possible and ice shield in valley s .

first thing i dont like is nailingyour starter without at least almost lining it all the way up cause once you nail it and the move it it takes away from your other corner and could be short or long depending

Random nail positions? Who taught this guy how to nail? When half the shingle doesn't get nailed properly wait until the first wind storm comes along.

This is one crazy video. I am not sure why he had not taken it off of here. There are so many negative comments. I agree that he skipped some nails, put some to close together and seemed to more concerned about speed. I drive public transit and it drives me up the wall when people brag about the big vehicles, forklifts, ect. they can drive. When I have watched them, they are fooling themselves. This seem like a guy that tells how fast he can lay them, yet without the correct professional abilities. I would not hire him at all.

Hi! What kind of cutter is that?

Great job voiding your customers warranty..... shingle nailing and laying instructions are on every bundle somebody that lays them like you should probably read every bundle. Then try again

buenos videos construccion wor #1

I thought he did great, also the fact he had to hammer one nail in let's me know he didn't have air too high to avoid blow throughs. I will tell you what I know about re-roofing though. You're supposed to cut the second and first or just second row (I forget) off or else you're gonna have a noticeable hump on the bottom, also though not necessary we would yank the old drop edge off the sides and trim the old shingles to the facial, slap some new drip edge on then roof it. This makes it look torn off. A good re-roofing job should look like a one layer roof from the ground.

I love how everyone is a critic! The Roofing over another roof is okay it's what the customer pays for we are aloud 2 layers. the pitch is okay it is a 4 pitch, rubber is for a flat roof we are aloud to put shingles on a roof as little as a 2 pitch. the nail pattern is fine also.

Atta boy good work

well, I aint gonna say nothing bout this one lmao. but if you really wanna see speed and basics, tips and tricks, how to's and how not to's. come on over to my channel and watch one of my many videos, unlike most of the people in these comments (much like some of the haters on my page) when I left hater comments I uploaded videos to back it up. enjoy, thanks for learning with me and lets help the roofing community grow together. not this business owner bs either. im talking bout the mf shaaaaanglers boiii!

He can do my roof anytime .There are a lot off sidewalk Superintendents on here talking shite

I use a hook on the rake's but I find it faster gives a nice straight cut, easier, to use the cutter.

Good roofing bro

I need that cutting tool.

I'd love to see his counter flashing

layin it down with the wind nail!

Three nails in the same location saves tons of time

He's got some tricks for sure.. but what good is speed if the job is done wrong? now the ladies roof is extra heavy and suffocating. now that her attic is gonna be overheating you've created a problem with sweating, which will create mold.And it's true, that lower gable is looking pretty flat to me, probably should have went with some tpo or epdm and tied in shingles at the pitch change

Hard to watch.

I always wanted to just show up and shingle but we have to rip first ;(

can't tell on my phone if high nailing but a nail over is bad enough..not always contractor fault tho!!

Nail positioning and the correct amount so important...this guy is just trying to nail fast instead of correct...

Buen trabajo yo trabaje 10 años en eso de poner shingle.no mas que dejo de no poner papel que va de bajo.

wrf...buddy ure out like 4.inches

Poster child for a poor roof job! Many examples of exactly what not to do...

and not nailing your end nail when your right there anyways and your done with it.makes no sense but other then that i like how you work i can tell you do it everyday.ive been shingling 16 years every single day no lie.also didnt see you pull out a hammer theres no way all those nails went in perfect especially on a go over.but good job bro

Layer me n my team scrap old layers off one house had four layers its hard asf scraping shitty jobs like this

i think we're all over looking one thing here, that's a bad ass shirt.

Like how he doesn't put down his gun go man

Isnt the pitch on that roof too low for shingles?

Nice job

why nail starter in middle not the lower edge

Fucking love man jeeez never thought about it

2/12 roof pitch with shingles, over another roof......and he isn't nailing high. so all the nails will be rusted out in a year...if the roof lasts that long.

People always hating I don't like how he doesn't nail his starter into the fecia but seems good to me shouldn't blow off

This roof can't be getting inspected.

Washington state roofers kicks ass

the hardest job in home construction next to concrete work is roofing. as u age, doing this, it kills your ankles. roof slope constant walking.

wait you did pull your hammer out i take that back lol

you should always do a complete tear off or at least that's the way I've been shown how to do it

Shingling over an old roof isn't such a good idea. Tear off the old roof first or you'll get problems, it won't look so good and won't last near as long. Live and learn.

Fuck a layover! Plus, this kid is carpe diem scratched! Have fun w the leaks, you'll be back

at least you're wearing a RATM tshirt. 👍

I wouldn't let y'all roof my damn bird house. What kinda fuckin jackwagon does roof-overs any more?

Good title. Then the shingle cutter came out

No bueno amigo mucho problemo

why does he only nail in half a shingle at a time? where are his knee pads? why is he going over 3/4 of old roof? ive been nailing for a couple years i dont like this guys style its an idea to use a paper chopper to make your steps and i would think they would be nice st8 cuts but i think it would take same amount of time with a knife

This is why you should watch a couple youtube videos and just do it yourself...if can't be any worse than this

home owner special enough said

Wow that's bad ass, i want to learn to do that so i dont have to pay anyone to do it.

hook blade! no he used a shingle cutter it's more accurate! lines are only used on hips and valleys... he nails the shingle 14 inches over from the end because he gets the end nail on the next run. probly because it's a closer run of nails. from what I can see he is nailing it on the nail lines. very skilled individual!!

I am not a roofer but i have 2 questions. Are the shingles supposed to be straight. And is nail position important.

Why did they show him pre-cutting the shingles in the beginning of the video?

yeah I did this roof and all the shingles are still there and it's not leaking none have blown away! I got paid and customer is still happy!

So many haters. Lol. Nice work bro! No doubt you've been roofing for some time. Not sure what all the nailing fuss is all about. Looks efficient and clean to me.

At 6:28 you can see crocked shingles. And the nailing is terrible. I guarantee a leak in a year

Throw the wrapper off the roof, lol. What ever you do, don't trim the tree so it's off the deck.

you wouldn't want your nail within 6 inches of the seam, so he leaves a space of 14 inches or so! I get what he is doing good style

Who would dislike the skills this guy has to work like a pro...

Improper nail spacing when only half of the length of the shingle gets nailed.

the third one you missed a nail

to the worker.....? would rather have your roof done profeshnal or just assuming that the shingles are strait. like leaving gaps in between a shingle. It not about doin it fast it about getting it done right Unless if you are good at it.

Roofing over old shingles. Tisk tisk.

don't hate at least the dude working

guys a badass. gonna try my first one

Can someone Tell me what that Tool is called?

See a few way high shingles bro

But if he's on 6/12 or more he would have to change up his game no doubt

You got balls posting a video of yourself roofing a second layer hahaha

Cutting like the butcher. That's the business.

Holy shit. who nails half the shingle ?!? and the roof is flat !!!!

I just don't know what to say...except home owners beware of hacks calling themselves roofers. I personally can say after 10 years of roofing in the Midwest thru snow and sun. It's a hard job that very few people have the where for all to make a career. When I here a guy call himself a roofer it's because they put on a roof or 2. Dude ur not a roofer. Wake up everyday after a 12 hour day 6-7 days a week during the summer for a whole summer then maybe ur a shingler at best. It takes 3-5 years of consistent work with knowledge of chimney flashings, EPDM tie ins, fuck there's so much. Point is skilled labor isn't cheap and cheap labor isn't skilled. Just a reminder to anyone looking to get a roof installed.

why do not nail the shingle

No overhang on gutter

Your installing new shingles over top of old shingles, what a piss-pour-job and he didnt even nailed every single that he installed to which he is not that fast

Why are you putting shingles on a damn near flat roof?

wind nail??,,4 nails per?!?!?!? wtf wrong,with you dude

how about the fact that they are doing a "layover"... not even accepted by code enforcement where I live...

Wtf u don't nail over shingle

this roof is to flat for shingles, should install modified bitumen there are some great peel and stick brands out there and faster to install

good job man!!!
