Man, I just finished shingeling my house. Your videos have helped me so much and are one of the only reasons I was able to do it. First God, then you, then a video on how to do a closed valley are what helped me. Thank you! All the glory goes to God! Love ya, brotha! And Jesus loves you too! More than you know, more than anyone knows!
This man is a beast. Been following his advice and been getting faster and faster. Idk what it is tho when you rifle through the shingles when you open the bundle is so satisfying 😂 keep up the work bro. Us young guys appreciate it
Thanks man I love hearing that people use my tips. That's what they're here for.
@@NWIVeteranConstruction I just came across your channel, you're a great contractor/teacher. Thanks for all the tutorials to help us weekenders ;))
Been watching you since I was 17 man. I'm 19 about to be 20 now and been doing construction with my father for 3 years now. Love rooding and I just started shingling this year. Thanks for all the advice man. Always watch ur vids for ways to get better at the craft.
thats awesome man glad they're helping you out!
Thought the area looked familiar. That's Summit street, 5 minutes from my dads house. Good thing Buddy and pals is down the street for a cold beverage and good food! Keep up the great work!
Haha yesssir! You work around here? I just had my plumbing done
Just started working construction after being a mechanic for 10 years. Been roofing for the past 3 weeks as a laborer and a slinger. Trying to learn all I can thanks for informational videos
No problem! Check out my 3 part series (most recent roofing series) its really popular. And then also I have a tear off/ dry in/ put back video that killed it
You do a awesome job you definitely ain't playing good to see others like myself getting it done.Im not a roofer for a living but have done some roofing off and on over the years and you definitely have it figured out.I run my own Asphalt Maintenance Business and take alot of pride in what I do I see you do as well.
God Bless you brother. I've always seen asphalt work as a big deal and roofing too. Respect from me to you, brother. And I'm only a semi-, roofer. But the best laborer people could ask for
Not going to lie I just sold my first 100 Sqaure and came back here to your videos of u doing big jobs
Would like to see you do more hip roofs with valleys if possible. Thanks for all your videos.
This is the kinda roof all roofer day dream about. I haven’t been on anything less than an 8 in over 2 years
That's brutal dude. Lol I'm so sorry
Roofers dream come true still hard work
same, creamer and no ropes ...what you gonna do when they come for you
What's a 8?
Newly following & Actually loving the tips and advice along the way, should get paid to teach! Keep up the good work!
By your demeanor and "slow is smooth and smooth is fast" comment, I sense possibly an 18C?
went to school as 42A (lmfaooooo) but deployed as a 12B slotted 12N
Zack knows how to throw down those shaaaannnngles!🤙
Them shangles got pounded out!
@@NWIVeteranConstruction yeeeeeyee git it bro!!🤙
You're a good man Charlie Brown. More please and would love to see others working for you. p.s. If its another girl...you don't let that control you ;)
Good to see you back Z . Stay safe !
Yessir thank you
Just beat those new shingles! Great job!
OH YEAH the OG is back
I agree Zack . I have been a carpenter over 35 yrs , and i have never seen a rectangular hip roof with 4/12 long hips , and 8/12 end hips . I think the framers screwed up , and someone said " actually , it looks great " and here we are , lol . And , you did the RIGHT thing.........do the 8/12's FIRST !!!
Haha I actually did the 4s first... but it'll all be the same for me. I've seen a few like it.. just normally it's 8/12s with 12/12s
@@NWIVeteranConstruction oh ok , I would have done the 8's first , in the morning . Downhill from there . lol
THEY ARE CALLED BASTARD HIPS
@@chetmendez9626 I'm 62 now , anything steeper than a 6/12 is a bastard hahaha. Thanks for the info brother.
This video has humbled me so much and I appreciate it. I thought my 12 square day was hot shit🤣
haha we have ALL been there man. wait til you see the video i'm making about this day. i got 40 at the end
@@NWIVeteranConstruction the next larger roof we have I’ll post a video trying to beat you
@@NWIVeteranConstruction lol😂
@@aaroncodeine best of luck! i really honestly hope you do man, i make these videos to help people, but also help myself, by encouraging other great shinglers to make videos and share tips. we can always learn a new trick or 2 that can make a solid difference
@@NWIVeteranConstruction Good roofer don't share their secrets and I will die before I show (the competition) my tricks of the trade. You want to impress someone do some videos laying wood shingles/shakes, lite weight tile or torch down. Anyone can lay dimensional single on a straight gable with no penetrations.
Wonderful person!! that you are⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡💥💥💥💥💥🥂👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you
Must be nice to work where a harness isn’t a big deal
Sometimes a harness is in you're way and makes it more unsafe if you have one
Hands down you can put on some squares bro, great job
Thank you
The way you lay out bundles is so goddamn smart jesus fuck thanks bud
Haha thanks man and you're welcome
I feel your pain. I just did a 40 sq. roof and could only get 1 helper. Then it rained for 2 weeks straight. Luckily I only do a couple roofs a year
dopee
my back aches just watching this
11 months later and Mine still hurts.
Always nice watching your videos 👍 I’ve done 40 and 46 before but most I’ve done was 50 squares with laying underlayment and roofing 26 penetrations along with an a/c unit from 8:10am when I started the underlayment to 4:01pm when I stopped.
That's what the crew got right?
@@NWIVeteranConstruction no that day I had one guy do 32sq and the other do 23sq it was only 3 of us. We tore off and installed 132 squares in four days we were definitely tired lol
One is the loneness #. Great job.
What a beast!
Thank you
Yeah it bothers me
Look at me!!!!!
"Go Money, Go Money, It's Ya Birthday..."
We do this in hand nailing but good to see we still have roofers
It’s amazing how you got so many bundles that are not stuck together up in the north east I don’t know what it is but 60% of the bundles are a struggle they just stick together so you can’t really pull them apart with one hand
it wasn't that hot this day, i find that as long as its in the lower to mid 70's with intermittent sun there's not too much of a problem. but this day they did get bad! so bad that i actually turned every bundle on the roof upside down in hopes that the top half (hot half) would be on bottom and then maybe it would even out. seemed to work. but i tried it once since then with no luck lol
The benefit to doing this job solo is your saving on paying for labor, cha ching
Nice
“I almost always double check those cuts” 😂
Lol
Bro invest in catch all nets! They are time savers for roofing! They’re pricey but they pay for themselves and save so much time when cleaning up and good shit on the shingles!
I'll check into it thanks
Great vid bro, be safe 👍👍
Looks good 👍🏻 . Question- Do you or have you ever paid a guy to feed you shingles?
yea. my laborers will toss shingles when the ground is cleaned up. i usually don't take one unless there's enough
Your a beast. Watched the whole thing. At the 21:00 minute mark you run out of nails on a shingle and forget to nail it off before covering it. You had two nails in it. I’m sure it’ll be fine?
You right. Happens to the best of us sometimes. But yea I'm definitely not worried about it lol once they're sealed that's the biggest thing.
All shingles are actually double nailed. So that single was short nails but still ended up having a total of 6-7 nails. Thats because they overlap each other
There is a spot in the video at 4:20 that you nailed a shingle down then you pulled the butt side up cause the ice n water was messed up. You fixed the ice n water then threw a shingle down and didint renail the shingle butt side.
I see! I'm pretty sure I didn't pull that nail loose or I certainly would've added a nail. But ppl do forget. I've forgot to put the last 2 nails in after changing a coil just like the rest of em lol
Is $300 a square to cheap to tear off and install and buy all materials for a 39 square roof that is a 412 pitch
No you should still make money. Most guys are a little higher though right now. But you'll be good if you're anything like me
Damn buddy, your killin it!
Wait till you see the real video we filmed this day! Been workin on it for almost a year 😂 coming soon. Make sure you're subbed to see it.
Would of made things much easier if you spread your bundles closer together and had a pair of knee pads and a pouch to hold some coils!! Those 3 things would of really saved you a lot of time Brother.
Either way that’s a solid Day man. 🤙🏾
The setup is everything on a day like this and for my style of shingling it was perfect, I don't do the knee pad thing
Yeah that shit would hurt the back of your knees after a long day wearing knee pads. And a pouch can be pretty cumbersome as well. I shingle all day long like this and I prefer to have nothing on me except for the nail gun and a knife in my pocket.
A well oiled nailing machine 👍💪✌
I thought that for a second myself lol it's all will power though. My oil ain't been right lmao fast food n pop etc
God Bless you all
Are you sure your helper ran the other side straight just for fun or was that the help you get to your 50 Square in a day
He was going to shingle whatever he wanted. He issue was he could only shingle til noon before heading home to Wisconsin and he staggers his roof left handed. So he ran out all the way across evenly so that I could make a right handed stagger. It would've screwed my whole job if I had to finish that much roof left handed lol I wouldn't of been excited about it! Video coming soon so you can see what really happened.
Do you ever install metal roofs Zach? They've become really popular here in Western Pennsylvania.
Not usually. There's a few here
i notice you nail one end then hit 2nd nail approx 12 inches over...then hit last 4 nails with closer gaps... so code allows this??? i always nailed pretty much same spread from one end to the other..thanks
Yes The 12 inch- ish skip between the first and the second nail is to avoid a nail placement in the seam of the rows above. So basically 2 shingles will come together somewhere in that 12 inch space, and you don't want to put a nail there because it's high potential for an eventual leak. It's also a very hard one to find if it ever occurs lol
I wish i was in your shape
Very good shingling . I'll take smooth and accurate over machine gun Kelly with nails on seams and wonky shingles.
Absolutely! Slow is smooth, smooth is fast
@@NWIVeteranConstruction yes sir and thank you for your service.
You've had three months off I'd love to see you after three months straight you'd really be flying
Working on some stuff today. Might be a bit still though. This video is tough
Lmfao... He shingled the bottom for you.. ha ha ha. Dude you really are stuck on yourself, Why doesn't anyone else see this
You have any back issues from roofing? Or any issues with your body at all?
Nah I'm good. Nothing out of the ordinary for a 30 yr old.
The new bidder came and measure the roof and he wants 11k, he says it is actually 22 squares, not 16; the measures of the previous roofer were 80x80 so either way since all I have are 8k from insurance I would have to keep looking or pay off to a handyman with roofing experience or..just do it myself!
They look 👀 crooked better having one guy to help teamwork makes the dream work
At 21min15 sec you didnt finish nailing the shingle look at it..
Ahh gotta love GAF Home Depot garbage haha
They're number one everywhere else too lol that's why home depot got em
How close are you actually putting your last nail to the end?? Like 3-4 inches.. bro
Ive been shingling for years with more than one company and with guys that are incredibly fast. Guys that have been roofing for over 30 years doing peace work. Guys that CLEARLY move faster and more efficiently than this. And the most I've heard these guys do is 30 squares in a day. Only way I could believe this is if I witnessed you doing all 50 with my own eyes. You nail fairly slow, move slow, etc. Ya sure the roof is a peace workers dream but i still don't believe it for a second. The average experienced roofer can do around 10 maybe 12 squares in an 8 hour work day on a much more complex roof obviously. I know guys that start in the mornings with a head lamp and end at night with their head lamp and they did around 25 to 30 squares. Am I missing something? Is this just a click bait title?
Also for all yall that are saying getting paid by the square aka peacework is the only way? You clearly know nothing about it. From what ive learned over the years, peace work is sloppy work. I would NEVER hire a company that pays its workers per square. That's when they start cutting corners, getting sloppy, low or high nails, wavy shingles, don't use caulk or mastic where they should, sloppy cuts, incorrect nail spacing, incorrect amount of nails per shingle, I could go on and on how peace work is garbage quality work. It's greed work.
On top of that you're filming and not focused 110% on the roof.
Much to learn young grasshopper. Every single shingle installed was filmed this day. 120 bundles with no help. I made sure to film it so I can submit it to guiness for world record. I've been working on the video for months it will be out soon! Subscribe to make sure you don't miss it. And The guy that I learned the most from looks very slow too. Most roofers don't know how to find a consistent work pace and rhythm and believe that speed comes from nailing or trying hard. Even in sprinting you're gonna hear announcers say that the most relaxed sprinter will win. Check out my tips for speed video i explain all that very well
And piece work and shingling on the square are totally different. I pay my own crew by the hour on tear off and dry in but there's not a soul alive that doesn't want shingle pay. On decent sized roofs good shinglers can put on 12 sq a day unless there's too many guys. These guys can earn 100 an hour on occasion because they get 20 or 30 a square on an easy walker
7:39 he says he hadn’t shingled in months lmao. Your a business owner its ok to admit u have a helper or that its all cap
Was thinking exactly the same thing. I roof by myself. No feeder. No help most of the time, no lift. 5000 SQ feet. I have never even thought about attempting 5000 SQ. Feet in a day. That's 2, 3 bdrm 2 bath homes. In a day. And then to see comments where they are blowing so much sunshine up his ass. I'm 48. Been doing this since I was 15.
Pros at work; great video, so if you did this much in 1.5 hour at normal pace how long would it take you to shingle 16 squares?
I've done 22 square in less than 4.5 hours. Once on an apartment and again on this job. Not sure how long it took here to get 16. If I didn't have to stair step though and it was set up like this I imagine I could get it done in 2.5 hours. 3-3.5 hours with creating steps
@@NWIVeteranConstruction that translate for me around 3 days to be realistic, I am watching now the video how you do the valleys, studying trying to understand what goes on because with the insurance pay I am short 2k everytime I get a bid by contractors, that is because I have 1k deductible that I just do not have right now as I am off work on LOA. So that means that better shape up, learn from you and decide to attack it; I could fix the blown shingles for now but then the insurance money would be gone next time deciding to do the job and since it is tough to get 8k all together it would be postponed forever; at the very least if I could not do it now I would be buying the materials at today prices and have them there when deciding to get it done
@@fireyourrocketts insurance pays pretty good, they either left some things off their quote which is common or the guys you have bidding are too big of a company with a lot of overhead. You should be able to find someone that will work for the insuranceproceeds, is reputable and able to not make you pay your deductible. It's too easy
@@NWIVeteranConstruction yeah I have another bidder today at 9 am lets see how greedy this one is bit if I find the right one I would rather someone with experience do it, had a guy with 34 years experience but no license, he asked cash and was a good price bit when I told him I would ask the insurance if it was ok to pay him which it is as insurance only cares for pictures of final work done not who did it, he disappeared
I wish! My worker is lucky to get 50 square a week.
What if it rains?
Man did you finish it.
That whole side and some more of the other side. 40 sq total by myself. Been working on the video ever since 🤣 coming soon
You are the best roofer, can you provide a contact tel?
You say you are trying to teach people.. but the truth is you want people to watch you
Im a carpenter but do side job shingles and ive pretty much have done it the exact same way as u have done, ive only done these architectural shingles three times now, my first was an 80 bundle the 35 and a 20 with just straight gables, only one had a small dormer with 2 12ft valleys in which i didnt do the greatest on but its right andooks good. Btw what do u mean when u say 20 or 30 or 50 squares
20 square would be 60 bundles 30 square would be 90 bundles 50 square would be 150 bundles three bundles to a square
yes
💪
Qeuestion not sure where you are from if you are just a sub-contractor or a full out sub...but what are your rates for both subs and contractors for just laying material out there?
im from alberta canada, and we sub-contract out around $75/sq and its about double or more for fullout contractors
Need help ? Let's go !!!
That's fucked up not having a REAL helper and having to do it yourself plus move those 60 lb bundles alone
Hope u got some new videos coming soon haha
Everyone look at me!!!!.. I'm the best !!!! LMAO bro really,
50 sq. 150 bundles . 3 pallets of shingles. There is no way. All I do are roofs by myself. There is just no way.22 shingles per bundle..6 minute bundles. 10 an hour that's 80 bundles in a 8 hr day. 26 square in a day. 2600 sq. Ft. Still impressive. Especially for 1 man. All I do are 1 man roofs. 5000 square feet. No way. There is no way.
I was shooting for 50 but ran out of sunlight. And it got really hot during the middle of the day so the shingles were sticking together hard. I could've got 50 if the weather was a little nicer and lunch didn't go so badly. But I only got 40 on 😔. 120 bundles. I Started just after 7 a.m and shingled til dark around 7. I filmed every single shingle to send to guiness for a world record and I'm currently editing the video now. There's barely over 8 hours of film. I was averaging around 12 minutes a square for the entire day. That's awesome you shingle alone too bud. Only way to go
@@NWIVeteranConstruction I don't like having other's eyes on my lines unless my help also has experience. Gotta watch those lines. I want to install straitest roof I can. 120 bundles. Back musta been killing at end of day
@@stevezrofsky8577 eh, nothing too bad. The method of shingling I use allows me to get some stretches in. That one bundle at a time thing really helps keep things moving
I agree Steve, I've been roofing over 30 years and there is just no way. I had a guy trying to tell me he could hand nail 30 square in a day and next breath was asking me for a job, also seen slammers who bragged about putting on 30 square in a day then whined about having to fix their blow offs the next time the wind blew. Same old BS!!
With you brother pro here too 3 sq. an hour in my prime his quest was a fail! he has a long way to go in the world of ROOFING!
I would put on 50 sq if it was my job but I am not putting that much on for 300 a day
That's 1,250 in one day lol at 25 per sq.
Yoga and lots of water
Wait who’s this? This guy doesn’t post videos no more.
Lol right
You literally love yourself thru the whole video, again!!! Look at me,. I can put a shingle on....
Look at me
Oh boy...you are getting sloppy with the plastic
When. You get paided by the hour. I bet you aint doing 50 squres a dayyou gotta play with the score20 squres at the most gotta make the job last
Who would shingle by the hour?
@@NWIVeteranConstruction people getting paid by the hour but if you get good enough get paid by the job or hell quote and get bids and knock it out.
Hi,
⚡️
And you're nothing on the bottoms... And I've not seen any kinda cut work or steep... Lemme guess, you don't do steep
Littering The Whole Neighborhood.....Some one has To pick up the Trash you Trow off of that Roof...You would Think that doing a Video You Would Be More Thoughtful...I Would fire The Very Best of My Guys for Being So Thoughtless...
there was no littering lmao tf? it was not windy at all. we clean up several times a day while shingling and if there is any wind at all we wrap up the wrappers
Where is Boy Cub?
quit again. lil double cross action its like an instant replay every time he works here lol
look at sugar pie go go go go like he be late getting home after a long hard trip to the local mens restroom at da park for a litte honey hole pie lololololololololo.................
There’s no way you can install 50sq in one day.
I would bet you every cent I have, that I could do 55 in the right conditions. For crying out loud I got 40, and I didn't even shingle for 3 hours of the work day. It was barely over 8 hours on the roof
There is absolutely no way!! I have been a roofer and own my own roofing business for over 30 years
@spencer pabona bro. I know it's not believeable so i don't blame you, but I got 40 sq on this day. It's all on camera! Every single shingle, because the idea was to send it in to guiness world record but I've decided against it for now. The only reason I haven't released the rest of the footage yet is because I'm working on a serious video titled "the art of efficiency" with that film as the backround. I'm making that video because guys don't seem to understand how easy it is to have record setting days like this. Just do the math man, I was live for like 2 hours this day, look at the time and count bundles. It's not that hard.
Not on your best day.
Damn where was my invite?
A worlds fastest shingler video and a comment from the 1 square challenge champ what is this 2019?

Wow..you are not setting bundles nor coils like you taught us.
i most definitely was!
