Cool video straight forward. Can you please share the name of the materials you use
Very helpful and complete instructions on hatching leaky flat roofs of add on sunrooms. Thanks a million.
Would you be able to list all the products you used? Particularly the mesh? Thank you!
You can use drywall tape mesh it drivit . It just hold the liquid together better. The main thing is the elastomeric coating
I would say this roofer knows his stuff. I tried white roof repair material from big box stores and other tape repair and it always leaks shortly after.
I ordered this stuff and will try it.
Ordered online:
EternaBond EternaClean spray cleaner $35/can
H.E.R. 1 Gal $110/Gal
6 inch APOC 483 Fabric $60 - 300 ft roll.
I made a roof rock shaker using a tin coffee can drilled on bottom and handle using HVAC metal tape and use it like a flour sifter for UV protection.
I also used some 2 ft x 4 ft 3/4 inch plywood , 2 pieces to schooch up 3 pans at a time keeping weight on both pieces most of the time. Should use 2 4x4 sheets but it works.
Don't know how you justify $2000. Looks like your labor is $150/hr. In Florida its sucker beware for roofs. I bought big bag of rock from roofing supply I think $30.
I have a shed where some DIYer overlapped 2 shorter pieces of tin across entire roof and the angle is too low and you have standing water when it rains. The metal is ribbed. To do it right would have to rip it all down and correct the truss angle which would be very expensive. I hate it when Idiots build something.
I would say if you can afford it and live near this guy you would at least get a good job.
Please see below the sealant used in the video. It only requires 1 application and without the mesh membrane, but I always choose to over deliver on all my work. You choose how you want to apply it. -------------------ERsystems® H.E.R. is a flashing grade single component moisture-cure polyurethane roof sealant. HER is a tough, seamless elastomeric roofing membrane that has excellent adhesion to a wide variety of substrates.
FEATURES
No fabric reinforcement required
Reduce labor
Easy to apply and brush
UV stable
Time tested since 1977
One step application
How much would a repair like this cost? Through you guys?
@@jshock15 probably around $2k , just depends how large it is
Good stuff. Thanks for sharing 🤗
Seems simple enough.
I'll be sure not to attempt this on a sunny day 🥵
Thanks for the video. What is the name of the membrane you used?
Can I walk on the porch roof without damaging it ?
I just need to know the right brush to use. I think i have the rest of the supplies
Hi can you please tell me, if I should staple the shingles back they are loosing up? or should I use sealant under them and staple them back? or nail them? thanks
My patio cover is identical to this. It leaks in the seams where the panels join. Do they need sealed as well or just this section?
First thing is to check the slope and make sure there’s an inch or so of drop every 10 ft. I’ve had to cut Joyce from houses that settle put on ice and water, and then elastomeric membrane. I just go overboard with it.
Hello!
The same type of situation happened to us as well! We had our house's roof re-done a year and a half back. We have a metal Panel, and it is bending, but the water leak only ocurrs when water hits the roof shingle and touches that transition strip. The strip is bulging out as well. It is unfortunate that we did not know sooner to get it fixed for free, but hopefully I will be able to repair the roof with this method :D
Hello. Can you use that same ER adhesive on metal flashing onto the side of the house which is cement and paint?
Thank you for the video. Where did you get the fabric and granules?
ABC Supply house
I have the same issue except my flat roof is flesh with the gutters. Any suggestions on how to stop it from leaking without ruining the gutters?
First make sure your patio gutters are very clean (no clogged) .. before doing this job because Sometimes can be the main reason of your patio leak
Can you recommend anyone in Florida? Daytona or Orlando area?
Did you ever find someone? If so, how much did they charge? I'm getting WILDLY different quotes and I'm not sure what's reasonable -_-. Floirda is a nightmare for roofing lol. So many scammers out there! I'm in deltona between daytona and orlando.
Thank you sir
All transition areas will leak if not sealed properly
What does the mesh tape do? Sorry if I missed the rationale, just curious
Hope you can help! ER Systems polyurethane is not available near me in Lakeside, California. Could you please give me a brand that is comparable? Thanks very much!
I have a sunroom like this on the back of my house that just started leaking this winter (we are in Michigan). It seems like it's more likely the long seams between each of the roof panels heading down towards the gutter. The difference I see between this roof and mine is there is a piece that covers the seams, I'm not sure if it's a spacer or a cover of some sorts? Again, it is winter so I can't really work on it right this moment but would you recommend using this same process?
I noticed the leak when I heated the room up to put a floor down, and some snow that was on the roof eventually turned to a sheet of ice, then we got more snow and it created an ice damn in my gutter with a insulation layer of ice with snow over it. I went and got a roof rake and it is slowly melting away now with some sun, but I can't stop the leak. I'm afraid to walk on the roof. It literally looks like a few inches of aluminum with a foam in the middle I'm guessing? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated, thank you for the video.
Hello, here in Michigan too. I did a repair for a lady last year that has one of these sunrooms. After cleaning all the seams, I used this roofing tape I got from Menards on every seam, along w sum vulcum caulk. Lady called sum time later to thank me so I know it fixed the leak 👍
@@santinomartinez7592 Hi! Thanks for your post. I am having leaking also between the long seams inside our three season patio. Could you walk me exactly through the steps of repairing this? How do I clean all the seams, and with what product? The roofing tap goes on the seams on the exterior of the patio? Then, the valkem caulk is placed on top? Any other steps I am missing? Thank you.
@@elizabethirving7924 hello, I just went up there w a bucket of hot,soapy water. Rinsed off whole area w the hose and let dry. I used a tape called eternabond, bout 20 bucks a roll. Ran a bead of the vulcum over every taped seam.
@@santinomartinez7592 I’m in Michigan also. Do repair sunrooms?
@@mzfantasii the roof part, I've repaired some In the past
Could you tell how much this job cost if I was to hire someone?
Helpful but don’t move the camera around so much.
How much does something like this cost ?
Nice video but would be even nicer to see material used
Great inf0
Did it work?
Why didn’t u go down the other way to finish it all ?
What is name of product bro ?
Can I use this product on top of shingles.
I would not recommend using on asphalt shingles. You need to only use tar to patch tar. And always top the tar with granules. (Since shingles are made from fiberglass, tar, and granules). Hope this helps!
Informative video but the way you recorded it gave me vertigo and left out almost all of the details of watching it.
I’d recommend a tripod next time.
Get a tripod dude. I couldn't see 80% of what you're working on.
😂
Terrible camera work
Seriously? He gives all this awesome information and all you do is criticize his camerawork. You sir, are an ASS!!!
