Probably one of the “fastest roofer” guys

The nails are high, but the installers were probably higher.

At least you don't have to work very hard to get the old shingles off.

I do roofing for a living and if our roofs came out like that my whole crew will be fired on spot

This is probably just semantics, but in the description you say subcontractor equals substandard..... if im a contractor and im building a house and I hire you to the the roof, what would that make you on the jobsite? Youre not the GC, you were hired by the GC, and are sub-contracting for me, making you a subcontractor, or no? Every single house being built has subcontractors......

How drunk were the guys that did this.

Homeowner probably went with the cheapest bid. Pay once or pay twice.

My dad once found a roof with 8 layers of shingles. Too many lazy roofers who don't want to rip the roof so they just do over the old stuff.

Some people wonder why Roof DIYs exist even if they have the money to hire a roofer for own house.business....LOOK PEOPLE>>>THIS ROOF IS EXACTLY WHY.

I have been in home building for over 25 years and the Corps of Engineers before that for 10 years. I worked for a very large roofing company and was VP of their Carpentry Division (framing, xtrim, interior trim, etc...). I thought I had seen everything. Some of the issues I've seen would make your head spin, but that IS the worst roofing job I've ever seen. Those are laminated architectural shingles (look like GAF or OC) that the owner paid a lot of money for. I'm not a proponent for suing companies, but I hope they did. High nailing will get you every time. Do you know the final outcome?

I have ZERO roofing experience. I just re-did the roof on my shed. 12×16 barn style roof. Replaced the roof deck as well. Although labor intensive, once I had the basics down it was very easy. Only three poorly placed nails. How does a contractor get away with that? Where is his pride? Integrity? This video is truly shocking. Anyways, good vid. A real eye opener. Thanks for posting.

The best part about this job is easy stripping for the next job.

I tore off a roof one time just by rolling it from one side to the other. They were nailed the same way. Easiest tear off ever!!!

those are the ones that they claim to be roofers just to get a quick dollar

This roof is a metaphor for my life.

Wow, a fart from a passing bird could take that roof off! LOL

Jesus! I am a DIYer and have done 3 patches on my shed roof over the years. First one got me 10 years with no leaks. Learned allot since then. Latest patches should outlast the shed which is going to get replaced in the near future.

At first I thought you just laid them out as a goof video until I saw they had actually been nailed in spots. This is really amazing, I honestly have never seen anything like that in my life.

The way he just pulled that roofing off......mmmmm that was satisfying :D
