Worst roof ever installed - leaking vent pipe collar repair. It looks like someone tried to do a pipe collar repair previously. Just a few minutes into the repair it was obvious they didn't know what they were doing!
It appeared they cut shingle short and just tucked them under the next shingle. We removed the plastic pipe boot to install an aluminum one as well as installed a pipe vent cap. please hit the thumbs up button and subscribe to the Grand Roofing channel, so you don't miss another video.

My replacement roof has now been done for over a year. Everything from soffits up was replaced. It looks great and has held up great. Wish my experience with my contractor was 100%, but it wasn’t. They mismanaged my job so badly (ex. did not cover exposed part of my roof and thunderstorm happened, drenching my home inside. I told them multiple times a day for a week the storm was forecast). After months of hassling and arguing, all was finally made right! As with most things in life, finding an excellent contractor is way harder than it should be.

I did roofing and siding when I was younger, I dabbled in a few trades before I settled on carpentry. I've been working for myself as a handyman and I want to get back to working for someone else and with a crew again. I saw an ad looking for a journeyman roofer with commercial experience, that's not me but I applied anyways, I'm a journeyman carpenter with roofing experience, but mostly residential. Well, I didn't get the job, but I did find out that position paid $65 an hour. (It's a traveling job so per diem too) So I just landed a job as a traveling roofing laborer with a commercial roofing company. I'm going to get that commercial experience !!! And in 6 months to a year I should be pulling down that $65. 🤑

No one knows what they like. I mean how many of these people would of guessed they'd be watching a roofing video today. Just put out good interesting content and we'll watch it. The more interesting and informative the better. Vent pipe collars and other random things most people don't think of are especially interesting because most people don't know how they work or how they're installed. If you can get more videos on unique repairs or stuff people don't know much about those are the videos I like to watch.

Thanks for this! I'm a homeowner who's 20 years into a "30 year roof" and I've got a bad leak over my bathroom that I'm 95% sure is at the vent. I have a new plastic cap sitting in my garage to replace it with, but I think I may go get one of these aluminum ones instead. Thank you for the great details showing the process! Hopefully I can get this (and one other leak) fixed and squeeze a couple more years out of this roof. My kid's a senior in high school and wanting to go off to college in the fall. Let's see... Education or a roof. 🤔😖

I know this is an older video but I wanted to add to your install, usually here in Minnesota we would put ice shield around the pipe and when installing the flange caulk under on the sides and top never the bottom then on top of flange caulk sides and top to hold shingles down and help keep water from infiltrating under the roofing.

Been watching your vids for a while now and I really appreciate a couple of things - one is that you are conscientious and pay attention to details even if it is inconvenient to do so. That shows character which, unfortunately, is in short supply - not necessarily owing to COVID. Second is related to the first - you care that a job is done correctly. Slipshod work seems to be pretty common in roofing (actually any trade) and I'm glad to see someone who doesn't settle for second rate.

Truth. Unfortunate in our area, housing prices have skyrocketed in the last 2 years. Some properties have more than doubled. New housing is also going up like weeds in a ditch. You can't even buy a 2x4 at the hardware store anymore. Banks dont care if its a quality roof, it just needs a roof. Even the quality roofers are just slapping them on as fast as they can find guys to swing hammers. We had a roof put on and had to finish it ourselves. 5 month wait and they couldn't come back for the finishing because they were already off to the next job. We consider ourselves lucky as they at least left the uninstalled materials.

Leaking vent stack boots at the pipe/boot junction... I've encountered this on numerous homes with roofs near the end of their useful lives. So, I just get a new rubber boot and slip it over the pipe bringing it down to within a few inches of the old one like an umbrella. The homeowners can have all the vent stack boots replaced when they get around to replacing the roof. I can't tell you how happy folks are when you give them a perfectly functional stop-gap solution at pennies on the dollar compared to other repair estimates. Of course, if the leak is at the roof deck level, some exploratory surgery and repair will be necessary.
