Hey Michael, I have watched many videos of the installation of standing seam and I have to say that you are truly on point. I have been installing SS since about 1985 and presently own 3 different machines. Standing seam is all about clean lines and symmetry and you certainly have that under control. Hooked panels, folded tabs on the legs, hooked valleys. There are a lot of hacks out there but you are not one of them. I'm not easily impressed but your work looks top notch.

I'm a maintenance mechanic supervisor never installed a metal roof before, maybe in the future But I always appreciate a good thick of the trade, THANK YOU FOR SHARING THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

Standing seam is super detailed work. You make it look fun. Well done friend.

I’ve been doing research on how to do standing seam roofing and this is the best I’ve seen so far. Top of the line!!! If anyone is about to do standing seam this is the video to watch! Excellent video!

oh I just love crap like this. those guys are obviously well salted pro's. I wasn't that familiar with metal roofing systems. 1) I didn't know it was so complicated to get that professional,finished look 2) I didn't know that if you listened carefully and payed attention you could learn so much. maybe not so much to give it a go like I'm going to ,but enough to enjoy sitting and watching it again. Huge tremendous Qaalpla's to America's backbone. The tradesmen. subbed. thanks for the educational fun guys.

Nice to see someone else know how to do it correct! Always lock gutter edge on hookstrip instead of putting a gasket screw through a nice looking panel and use cleats in valleys and transition and z strip under cap and transition!

Workmanship is phenomenal!

I like that you used both a vapor barrier and sleepers. Nice quality work!

Nice, much different than the barn roofs you see going on for real cheap

Nice work this is what I do for a living over 12 years now and still going

I notice you did not bend the tops of the panels up at the tops. I did a standing seam metal roof (snap lock/champion roofing) about 10 years ago and the OEM told us to cut notches on the top of each course and use the bender to bend up the very top lip at a 90 degree angle. Then use a high quality caulking and seal off the two inside corners. Then bring the Ridge Cap down over the 90 degree bend up areas and use neoprene washered fasteners to secure the Ridge Cap down thru the tops of the standing seams. It held great. The 90 degree bend ups prevented strong winds from blowing water up under the Ridge Cap and coming in on the very top where the two opposing sides of the roof met. Don't let anyone tell you water won't run uphill regardless of grade. Think hurricanes!!! The roof is holding up fine...no complaints from the PHD engineer who paid me $1,264,500 for the place. I was wonder if and why the technology has changed? Seemed like a good system?

Beautiful job guys... I wish I could have done videos back in the 80s and 90s, so when my contractor said what's taking so long... let me show you the detail involved

Doing a great job, some installers I've seen don't pay attention to those details and you end up with leaks, beehives, wood rot.

very nice and clean. I am a roofer myself but never installed a standing seam roof. It looks a little tricky when it comes to a valley or change of pitch. I can tell this isnt your first job but you do good work.

One of the best roofing panels. No seamer required .

Also one thing I have did in past under my transition behind my z strip is food the back of my panel up 3/4 inch or so just in case anything ever gets past my z strip! U did a awesome job and just one thing I have learnt passing it on to ya! I do a lot of older style true standing seam with turne metal where metal comes in a roll and make it all by hand and double locked etc! Looks nice, good job again!

Lovely work guys I’ve done a few tray roofs here in New Zealand !

Huh, "...we mighta turned upside down on ya...". All good, bruv. You practically sold me a roof on this one. PLUS, ya got my sub. That was some great work treating metal roofing right. Dang. Hurricane Harvey just wiped my town off the face of earth. I'm getting my roof right. Thank you.

Guten morgen Kollegi !!!!!!!! работаю в стокгольме 8лет СТАНДАРТЫ ДРУГИЕ ...В РИГЕ 20 ЛЕТ РАБОТАЛ ПО НЕМЕЦКИМ ....УДАЧИ ...

Nice to see a guy who knows what hes doing and takes pride in his work too. Keep up the good work man.

nice work great video coming from someone who knows metal roofing.

Wow, so glad my metal roof install won't be this complicated! Above my paygrade!

Technically that's a snap together roof system. Double lock standing seam is made entirely different. From manufacturing to installation. Been roofing for going on 18 yrs and by comparison, true double lock seam roofs are the way to go, especially in the northern climate.

These guys do everything right!

Amazing video. You guys really have it down to an art. Thanks for sharing.

I love the look of metal roofs and cant wait for the day i have a country house that will get one. You did a nice job!

This is fantastic, especially the valley work and bending the panels for the cleat there. Thank you for sharing!

Awesome Job!! and Explained very well.! Thank You!

Nice workmanship. real pros for sure.

Looks like you guys do good work. Let me recommend the green and red aviator snips from Malco they work the best. Also, atlas 370 gloves ,they are the best.

I love working, l can watch it all day long.

Little things like that is what separates a professional roofer from a regular roofer taking Pride and making sure the lines lineup that's someone who you want doing your job

Guy 1-"You dropped your smokes bro" "I'll just toss em here for ya" Guy 2-"Thanks man"

Interestingly enough I worked with the designer who was one of the first men to design the rollers and machine to produce those types of panels. I, at the time worked for a company called Champion Metal in Oregon. There are multiple types of interlocking panels, but that particular design was ours. From what I can see, their roofing system with their new tools is more advanced that was ours though because we designed those panels over 33 years ago and had not worked out all the kinks. Running those panels through the forming machine is more difficult that some types because of the shape of that locking rib with the turned under lip which locked onto the previous panel. That type metal roof though should not be walked on unless they know exactly where the skip sheeting is or they will warp the panels causing a possible point of leakage. These types of roofs though should be made from 16 Ga. galvanized and painted steel sheets with a lower content of carbon because with a high carbon content, when you crimp a seam, it will crack. A grade of steel with lower amounts of carbon are what is called for, so the metal can be worked more easily, even though it is not quite as strong as the high carbon content type. I can no longer remember the grade types of that metal after all these years.

this one is a retro fit. we lathed it out with 1x4s over the shingles And insulation, fastened into underlying framing 20"apart

Nice Job! As a metal roofer myself it's nice to see a tutorial on the right way. Everyone thinks metal roofs are easy. Most Yo-Yo's would of cut the Seam and run 1 piece. LOL

I've watched several metal roof installation videos. This is the first one I've watched where the guy wears gloves.

This is what America needs more of. Men that can do a trade with professionalism and skill like these men. Send less kids to college to do nothing when they graduate. We have enough educated morons in America fucking things up. America can't grow stronger and richer without skilled craftsmen making a product that can be sold.

Great video! A pleasure to watch !

Man it kills me how easy you guys make this look! I’ve done a couple simple metal roofs with barn type metal sheets and I thought it was a pain in the butt. These standing seam roofs are so nice if you know how to do it

Nice job by the way. I'm about to do my first one soon

Fuck me. Hold my beer while I start my roof.

Great video , thanks 👍

Masters at work great teaching job

Nice job! Can you walk on this metal roof after or it will make dents?? Looks very thin that metal..

Look at that clean pouch must have been brand new

Nice class work

That’s not standing seam, that’s snap lock. Standing seam has edges that fold over each other 2 times for the seam.

That’s right, just clip the sheets to size and let those tiny off cuts drop on the ground .....being a tidy workman says a lot about a person.

Good work

neat and tidy install.....great work... good commentary too!

So I watched this video and did my first standing seam... the owner isn't happy because I used 1x4 furing straps and it shows ripples in metal. How does yalls not

Good work 🏠

Super konstruktywnie też tak umiem . Znakomita praca .

i wouldn't use untreated wood under the metal roof, and even if its treated you still need to have a moisture barrier between metal and wood, condensation will destroy it. unless it a super dry area.

Why are the second layer of batten strips bent down to align with the first layer of batten strips in the valley? I also see on the one roof you only have one layer of batten strips running parallel with the eave so how is there going to be any air flow from the eave going to the ridge line?

Молодцы ребята.👏👏👏

Gracias por subir el video quiero aprender como tu

Nice work right there

Отличная работа коллеги

Good job 👍

nice idea sir, it's fantastic, god bless

This is snap lock . Very similar but not quite as strong as standing seam.

do you have sheeting under the reflective underlayment? getting ready to do this type of roofing on my build and getting varying answers on should or should not... thinking yes, with furring strips (for condensation air flow) then sheeting)...thoughts?

Pretty work

Why dont you use a piece of foam to keep your tools on and also kneel on.?

I watched your valley part and was looking at my newly installed roof I can see the clear through the rib on one piece. How much work will it be to have it redone?

Tu si sabes my Friend that’s the way to install

Не знаю как у вас во Флориде с перепадами температур, но у нас в Европе с таким вент-зазором, этот термос захлебнулся бы от конденсата. На левом скате двойную обрешетку хоть какую то заметил, а вот справа, обрешетка вплотную к фольге. За заморочку с подгибом и эстетический финишный вид Вам плюс, а то классика на саморезах уж очень убого смотрится. К сведению, в Европе классика с одинарным фальцем, рекомендуется с 10° минимум, в вашем случае, замок нужно герметизировать фальцгелем. Возможно у вас и дождей много не бывает, тогда сойдёт. Двойной фалец рулит 😁

When we do mechanical lock standing seem that transition is all one panel there’s no transition metal

Is underlayment a radiant barrier? In Florida, seeing more metal roofs replacing shingles, due to heat and high humidity, singles have an effective life 1/2 as elsewhere

Thanks for showing all the details in your video,is there a certain certification to look for when searching for metal roofing installers? Ty

I have a question if you had to replace 3 or 4 panels due to tree damage. And panels really damaged. How difficult are they to remove and/or disconnect panels from each others seeing how they were connected and locked in place. If I install from right to left. Do I remove everyone of them to get to the damage panels. Lets say it's 5 or 6 panels in from the gable edge or from a valley.

Water....distribution...technician...specialist The science is to be smarter...than water

STILL NICE JOB !!!!

Dude in the red has his toolbelt on backwards hes fuckin brilliant. Lol

Why did you choose to install furring strips? Couldn't you have installed directly on ISO board?

Have yall never heard of a off set...take a framing square slide down panel til 16 hits on valley ..you dont have to lay pan in valley to mark and risk scratching

Thanks for the video and great job done. However, a Q? when standing seam metal is nailed/screwed to the floor /base like corrugated metal, what is the point to use it as far as corrosion/expansion/contraction is concerned?

Nice roofing but i just want to point out the problem i'm currently facing. From the research i've been doing it looks like an air gap between the insolation and the roof is necessary, to both stop thermal bridging from the insulation to the tin (heat loss) and also to stop radiant heat transferring from the underside of the tin into the insulation (heat gain in the summer). However it is also recommended that tin roofing is fixed to a flat board, if your going to walk on it it is defiantly a good idea IMO. Solutions i have seen are either to add another layer of baton and then another deck (more osb) so the air gap is under the final layer of deck and the insulation is beneath that or to use 1x4 baton perhaps diagonally or horizontally with notching under the baton to provide a vertical airflow. If heat is a real problem then it looks like you should consider an extra later with foil and another air gap. There is no simple solution, all solutions are expensive but to avoid general condensation, ridge rot or ice dams some of the above techniques should be applied. It depends if the loft space is conditioned (house tempreture) or if it is ventalated and insulated above the top floor ceilings. I have been trying to get my head around this the last few days, there are also underlayments air tight barriers and breathable membranes to consider. It's no wonder so many people are doing it wrong especially when you combine all of that with cost, time and the clients budget. Our house needs a new roof but we have large overhangs and we live at 1000M so climate is very variable. Now just to decide how to do this, i'm still lost!

.....Great work...could you use sleepers vs re-decking roof?

I would love to see the tools you use to do the job. You probably have a 4 foot brake. What gauge metal do you recommend for the panels?

Hot glue a magnet to your drill to hold screws for attaching the clip.

I took notice on your Craftsman ship and I have a question about your transition trim at the end dam condition at the ribs of lower roof . why did you (NOT) pack in the sides behind end dams with your tape seal or caulk to prevent water from splashing in ?

Great vid guys: 16:41 could be better video so we can see how the final installation of the vee where it grabs both cleats works out , but over all really nice, thanks.

Nice work

I've always wondered, is it mandatory to be a smoker to be a roofer? Also, it seems really insufficient to only be using one screw per anchor on those panels. Just chiming in that's all! Looks great guys

Wow. Great job guys

You install on 1x4 battens and not direct to deck?

Hi, great video, you make it look easy and yet know that's not the case...Quick question the clips that hold panels down to plywood, is there a place I can get those. Live in Massachusetts. Thanks any help will be appreciated.

Good work and nice looking

Great video! Did you have to remove the old roof or did you lay that paper on top of the old roof

really clean and performance good job I am a roofer too but when my amigos helping me they walk over the roof and leave trial

Hi! Nice video - well done! Would like to know the "gauge" of this specific metal roof? Do they ever get bent if you repeatedly stepped on it especially with the insulation foam underneath? Thanks for the swift reply!!!

well done guys

Should have 6" minimum going up under the pitch change. 12 was the usual. For instance, when doing a copper barrel dormer , you flash up the main roof 12" and solder that ribbon to your panels.

Is This Hurricane Proof? How Many Hours Per Wind Can It Hold!

I didn't realize you could install standing seam metal over furring strips? In what cases can you do that and what spacing do you need?

So how many years will it last.

I am so glad I am not a roofer, I don't think I'm smart enough to figure out all thoes cuts and folds. That is a beautiful job, I am so glad that one fella is a far better roofer than a camera man.
