    In depth and detailed. I’ve never done a metal roof but feel like I could now (after rewatching, rewinding and replaying the steps of course!). Awesome vid

      Great it should be a great resource for you! It is a lot of footage to review but after you do it, it’s pretty systematic. Hope that helps!

      Awesome I’m glad I could help! It’s really a straightforward process and with a little bit of “how to” it is not that complicated. Good luck through project!

    I bought that Dewalt attachment and thought "Where has this been all of my life???" My husband looked at it wide eyed like I bought it for him. 😂 Silly man 😅

    Thanks for the pro vs con list. I would note that this roof is only more affordable if you don't have a catastrophic leak(s) from any of the thousands of exposed screws.

    • @budnspud

    • @TheExcellentLaborer
      @TheExcellentLaborer  Před 10 dny +1

      I have never heard of any catastrophic leaks from a simple screw leak but anything is possible. When the screws are installed properly, they are actually quite good at sealing. Thanks for watching!

      @TheExcellentLaborer I enjoy your channel a lot! I've also sent crews to repair many roofs bc someone over-drove and blew out the neoprene washers or sank them at an angle. The catastrophic part came months or years later with mold and rot in the attic and staining on the ceiling. To be fair, I've also seen roofs done well and last a very long time.

    I prefer to use oil or some other lubricant when drilling holes on the metal in order to avoid drill bit breakages.

  • @georgelopez4133
    @georgelopez4133 Před 7 dny

    Nice video. Never done this kind of roof before but i wonder if caulking around every screw with osi or something similar be a good idea to reduce chances of leaks. I know it would take a while but id rather do that than have to repair any interior damage. Thoughts?

    • @Rodneybow
      @Rodneybow Před dnem

      No need for that as long as the screws were installed properly. Also it probably be a bit unsightly. As the screws and washers are dipped to paint match.

    Man can you do a regular roof deck of OSB when you're doing metal?

    • @TheExcellentLaborer
      @TheExcellentLaborer  Před 10 dny +1

      It’s recommended that you do 2x4s on new buildings. OSB for shingles only. You could ask the manufacturer for their opinion. Hope that helps!

    • @Austin-fc5gs
      @Austin-fc5gs Před 10 dny +1

      You wouldnt want osb under this metal roof (as opposed to standing seam), id go with plywood for its wetting potential. You will want to cover the osb/plywood with a self adheared weather barrier and on top of that add 1x3 furring strips so there is drying potential. Then youd install the metal roof the same way. If you're doing all that, though, probably want to go with standing seam

    why doesnt your ribs line up to each side of the roof?

    • @TheExcellentLaborer
      @TheExcellentLaborer  Před 10 dny

      You can cut the first panel of metal to line up if you want. Thats an irrelevant detail when it comes to functionality. I hope that helps!

    Aussie roofer here.
    Why do you guys screw on the flats and not the rib? That's actually illegal over my entire country. Both because that's where the water is, and also because when you pin the metal and wood together with a screw the sheets buckle with heat changes.
    Now I understand you guys use thinner metal to us, which would explain the need for extra support under the sheets as our purlins are 800mm apart. Also I suppose you guys have snow where we don't.
    But mostly why screw the bottom? There is no advantage to it that any roofer has ever given me. 50mm Tek screws are designed to hold from the top and allow heat stress

    • @MrPhilts
      @MrPhilts Před 10 dny

      From what I read so far online: Some panels are made to be screwed on the "valley" because screwing on the ridge could easily crush it down (cheap metal?) and compromise the roof. I guess it depends on the manufacturer

  • @brandongreen1177

    Look looks like the roof has a wave to it.

    • @TheExcellentLaborer

      There is no wave to the roof. The camera lens will create that look if you look close enough. I hope that helps!
