    Ok everybody is paying way too much attention to the shit that ain't your business lol Nobodys bank account was harmed in the making of this video. The osb?That was an addition. The rest of the house was not very good my fault for not showing more of that. I was not the determining factor on this resheet. Here's what happened. The house was being sold. The inspector said the roof needs redone and there's an issue with potential mold on the underside of the decking in numerous spots. The call I got was to replace all decking and shingles. All I got was an email with a picture of the moldy undersides and was told they already have a bid for a whole resheet and to bid on that. They already had it worked out. Between the buyer and seller they had a deal with payment and how much negotiation room there was. I was not part of any of this. I questioned it at first but the roof was spongy everywhere I walked so I gave them my quote and they chose to go with me. This video Is simply to show you guys an efficient way to perform this task. This video is not for the justice warriors, its for the performers. Thank you for watching! If you learned something feel free to hit the like button and subscribe. We're going to have a crazy year in 2020!

Things to take note of about the construction of the roofs and things that can affect your job laying shingles in ways like the venting aging it quicker.

    I watch you a lot and i like the work you do... with that being said, i roofed for 22+ years and that was a very unnecessary amount of time wasted cutting holes in your ice shield for those pipes. Lay it over them, cut an inside X, slide it down and cut off the excess. 30 seconds vs the 5 minutes of hammering it. Thats all i have for critiquing this video. Keep up the good work!

    Bro let a pro give you a lesson in professionalism and customer satisfaction.....lesson 1. If you make it all about the money you'll fail in the end. Lesson 2. I learned this from three old school brothers...when I do a roof I start a the ridge and remove the caps and shingles one at a time....pull the nails and neatly stack the old shingles....not a nail or shingle hit the ground....nails go in a bucket, shingles get sent down the laddervator and neatly stacked in my dump trailer.....after tearing off 10 or 12 rows, sometimes more sometimes less, fix plywood if needed and felt, I shingle what's been tore up and cap it....usually 3 or 4 rows at a time.....rarely do I have to walk on the new shingles , because you know that when they're not they scuff easily.....I never have any scuffed shingles....doing it this way I don't need a ground guy cleaning up shingles nor do I ever scuff the gutter or side of the house tossing shingles off of the roof or have any nails in the homeowners yard.....even with tarps there still seems to be a mess in the yard.....
    I measure the shingles reveal and calculate where to chalk my lines to start from the top down....I never worry about rain either.....all I have to do is roll out a row or maybe 2 and I'm dried in.....never had a problem....in the end it may take a little extra time but let me tell you this, people love that there's no mess at all and appreciate it beyond belief that I care enough not to scuff up their hot shingles by walking all over them....I have homeowners who wait 3 months or longer at times for me to get to their roof....I have a list at all times of 20 jobs to do....and I've never had anyone call another contractor because they didn't want to wait on me and my crew....or has anyone hired a cheaper contractor....I charge top dollar and give top dollar results.... that's a formula that people don't mind paying a little extra to get.....

      @@johnnysouza5601 The gap is to keep the wood from catching fire from a fire within the flu. The flashing around the pipe is laced in with the shingles and has a collar that needs to be caulked in order for rainwater to not run down the pipe and wet somewhere in the house. The flashing is cone shaped and comes up from the roof face to tight around the pipe. But usualy there is even a gap there a little bit. The rain collar is attached usually 1/2 to 1" inch above the bottom flashing to make the final rain seal.. This allows the pipe to expand up and down as it changes length from hot to cold temperature and still not have a leak. The collar or pipe skirt moves up and down with the pipe While the roof flashing stays on the roof keeping water from the roof from entering the gap around the pipe. Some places require 2" gap to combustibles from any flu pipe that could have a fire in it.

    As a 23 year old that started roofing/framing at 14 with family friends.
    It’s because of men like this, I am where I am at today. An independent contractor who grew up being taught how to work smarter not harder with no lack of busting ass. The best leaders are the quiet ones who aren’t so damn insecure that they have to let the whole neighborhood know who’s boss.
    I don’t care how you lead. All I seen was about 16 square of roof go from shitty shingles to new sheeting in about 3.5 hours. Home owners were probably very surprised at the amount of time this job was done.
    With small companies like this, the homeowners are the boss. The business owners are there to help and provide value to the customers. One bad job can squash all potential leads in the area.

      Walls and roofs are covered in 4x8, (4 feet by 8 feet) sheets of 3/8 inch thick plywood, each sheet is tightly nailed into wall studs and ceiling truss, each sheet shares a stud or truss with about 3/4 of an inch of room to nail so it's a tight nailing pattern.
      Anyways, when you miss you'll see daylight and most guys will call "shinner"
      A trained ear can really hear the nail missing the stud, if you're an apprentice and they have you nailing walls and roofs which is young guy work you almost have to depend on the framers to really do well building the walls, same with the truss setters, they have to depend on the framers, sometimes you'll only have a 1/4 inch to nail in.

There are different thicnkesses and types of decking too - it's not all 3/8 ply - matter of fact, I doubt there are any 3/8 ply roofing applications anymore - wider roof framing spacing = thicker ply. Thinnest you really see anymore is 7/16.
