Putting a new roof on my shed. Watched a lot of roofer videos. One thing I found out. Everybody does something different. So what do I do? I pick the guy with the best presentation. You're a good speaker, you stick to the facts, you don't have an attitude, and you don't tell me a bunch of stuff I don't need to know. You're above average. Thanks

Thank you so much I'm going to do my roofing courses next year and apply for my apprenticeship. I'm just studying and teaching myself through your videos and other online sources. I work with roofs as a gutter cleaner, window detailer, work is slow now because of winter. There not much work so I'm spending my time learning new skills!! =D Your videos are clean, simple, and detailed!

It's hard work but it's a valuable skill that pays well. I did the same in my younger days boss did sliding & roofing I lean towards brake operator's lax roofing. On the first day on the job when through 7 rolls of coil trying to learn. Surprise I did get fired! I lasted about 3 years very grateful to learn how to be a DYI!

Good install, you should mention for the newcomers, never install the vent before the hole is made. If you're gonna make the hole, make sure your not over a rafter. I once cut a hole thru plywood that had shingles under it and set the attic on fire.

The Pro 50s have small dash lines now where the vent should sit on the hole for proper ventilation. An easy template for the vent cut is to use a shingle. The height of the shingle is the same width as the exterior vent cover.

I shopped at my big box store looking at roof vents. I think a video on vents and vent options would be good information to have. I have a roof vent fan with a burned out fan motor and lots of hail damage on the aluminum top. I'm going to want to replace that vent and install more ventilation in my roof without creating too many holes in my roof. Back in August I found a roof leak. Turns out it was a bullet hole right over my bathroom from last July stupidity of my neighbors. I caulked everything and it's holding for now but my roof has been damaged also from falling branches from my next door neighbor's roof. I think I'm going to have to hire a lawyer for that. My roof has an Eastern side and a Western side with hip roofs on the East and West. We have prevailing West and SW winds much of the year.

If your just only allowing for a true exposure for second row of shingle above vent, for the vent your using, weather pro 50, you must cut plywood for vent hole right down to nail line of first shingle that is directly below vent flange. Your vent hole will be roughly 2-3” below the hole you initially cut out of roof deck. You should know this man.

Don't you need to know where your rafters are first before marking and removing shingles? Won't be good to cut someone's rafters weakening the roof. I know that may be an "implied" step, but should've been mentioned.

@Z-Ack
@Z-Ack 2 жыл бұрын
Your ratio of roof vents to soffit venting needs to be where the soffit is greater than the roof venting. But generally you want one every 15 feet only on the backside of the roof. Unless you have ridge vents then you dont really need any extra venting.. you want to make it where the airflow will enter through the soffit and exit through the top venting, if the ratio is off then the moist air gets trapped inside and doesnt circulate.. theres a website that has the specifics but i forget exactly ...
