The old man grunting noises while he works is how i know he's legit. Every old dude ive worked with in the trades sounds identical
Cause they are worn out worked hard their whole life
He looks like Hannibal lecter
No knee pads. He tough.
This is the best roof repair video I've seen. Nothing is worst that seeing rain water drip into your new house or business because the roofer botched the roof install. This guy knows how to fix the mistakes permenantly! Keep up the good work!
What’s the materials that you are using for repair??
Thank you for helping me fix my incorrectly installed metal roof on my mobile home. It's been leaking ever since I bought it and cannot afford 20,000.00 to replace it. After watching your easy videos I have fixed most of them myself with a fraction of the cost. I really appreciate your knowledge.
Thank you for making this video. Lots of great information for those wanting to learn how to make repairs like this.
at first glance, it looks like he is fixing these leaks with toilet paper and baby doo doo.
2ply
Same here my brother. I even commented on him using scissors to cut toilet paper 😂
What’s it called and where to buy it ? Anyone ??

You are amazing
Thank you so much for this and for making it look so simple.
I love this guy! Thank you!
This video was so good, I had to watch it again and downloaded it for reference later. Thanks again.
Glad it was helpful!
Hard worker workin sickly thanks for the good advice
Thankyou for teaching us doctor
Great information ❤
Gracias por compartir su experiencia en este tipo de trabajo.
mucha gracias amigo. Thats about the spanish I know. Although my wife is Mexican, I am a slow learner
I like what you are doing. I have had some BS contractors out. My dad put aluminum roofing instead of Tin and 40 yrs later it is fantastic except for…. The nails worked loose and I need to seal those holes. I hope this product works on aluminum. Thanks
Thank you, this was so helpful!
Excellent job
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video identifying the leaks by looking for traces of rust or dirt stains. Turbo polyseal spreads well and goes quite a bit, no need to lugging around a gallon tin ;)
you right, but I used a lot of Turbo that day on the rest of the roof. The video only shows a small part
@@FlatRoofDoctor it's good stuff. Too bad it's not available in my country. The closest I could match it was with Sika lastic 560 or Duram 195 here unfortunately.
I love your very informative video. It is very useful & you give great money saving tips. Thank you!!!❤
How much toilet paper roll to put on seam?
For a 30 x 60 metal building that is approximately 38 years old, would you recommend just fixing the leaks or replacing all the roofing screws with the next larger size? Thank you.
I love your videos thank you they are supse helpful!!!
Great Video Thanks a million...
You're welcome!
Gracias God bless you 🙏🙏
Thank you! I like this guy!! Haha
You're welcome!
What paint you sir to seal the leak and the paper you also put with the paint?
What about using integrated - "long life" - screws, where the head of the screw is one piece with the "washer" that acts as an umbrella to cover the neoprene washer underneath: is there an advantage to these integrated screws? The disadvantage is the cost, as they appear to cost more than the standard roofing screw.
I'd be interested to hear your recommendation. Great video content, as usual.
Your the best my friend my flat metal roof has tar the previous owners used I got leaks still driving me crazy I wanna scream question should I grind off the tar spots they covered the roof with and do what your doing and it will seal my roof for a very long time ? Please help thank you love your channel my friend Massachusetts area
Will the turbo poly seal and fleece work on metal roofs in south Florida, where the temperature of roofs get extremely hot?
hello sir what kind of sealant paint did you use? and the silver paint?
The sniffles and grunts and groans remind me of work with my dad rip pops
just subscribed to ur channel. what products r u using for repairs
Hello sir, I just watched your video I learned alot am I'm fixing to order some ( they are out of black) .. oh well, my question how long is the silicone good for( in the bucket) once you open it how long can it be stored & still be a good product to use 🇺🇲🦅🌍⚓ USMC
What size screws do you recommend for replacing the rusted smaller screws? Thanks for this video and information.
Bigger than the one you pulled out generally if you pull out a 1/4 screw put a 5/16 back because it will bite
Love your videos.
Can you link those seals you used in the description
Yes I will do so, thanks
Some of those sheets are on backwards. You can tell by the way they're not sealing up along the edges. Also they put a lot of screws in the wrong places.
The Turbo polyseal and fleece is new to me.
Can I put Turbo Poloy Sealant over Henery's Acrylic sealant ? I see where you can't put it on other sealants?
I have a angle grinder what size wire brush should I use to rip off the tar some morons that owned the mobile home before I bought as is ouch they nailed metal sheet they tar over the edges I was looking super close on the ladder which I hate going up I pushed with my finger water came out so water was getting under the metal sheet I ripped it off and holy under water 💧 so mad 😡 this guy is a master thumbs up
Wish I could get this product in Canada.
I would've replaced the roofsheet at once and use 26mm bond washers on the hex screws, I also never use pap en lap membrane. I would have used uni-flash to seal all of those areas if not replaced the roofsheet.
What's the name of those materials he used?? The paste and the paper tape?? Thanks
What did you put Dab of?
What are you using to fix the leak?g
When u say bigger screw do u mean thicker or longer screw???
What does the fleece do?
Where can I buy this product
Atlanta Ga
Do you think a standing seam metal roof is worth the cost? Also if I'm 1.2 miles from the ocean, do I need to use aluminum material if I install metal?
Where to find and buy this?
You know, telling us the stuff you are using to fix the leak would be great. Just take stuff out of a can and you are good to go!
It's most likely liquid rubber seal
Did you not hear him say turbo poly seal. The reinforcing material is like a woven polyester material.
whats the brown liquid called
Great vid , Can u join the sheets the wrong way I think that’s my problem
Hard to tell
Hi good video Whats the name the material's for dude. Hola como se llama el material con que pintas la liking se puede comprar en home depot como se llama el material Gracias buen Video hracias por su respuesta.
What is that brown stuff ur using? Also will this method work on a van roof? Thank you
turbo poly seal, you can get it online here: bergstromm.com/
Whats the liquid that you used?
Im wanting to fleece the entire roof is this advisable
What paint is he using
I wish you would make a tidier job of painting the turbo seal, straight lines not untidy splodges.
You may well be fixing the leaks but the fixes look untidy. For your screw head repairs a template of cardboard would enable all your repairs to be neat and regularly sized.
Thanks Mr Clean. If I did that all the time, the job would take much longer to get done. I agree for the video I should do that, but the I am not genuine. I want people to see how to get it done without a lot of fuss.
Who's getting up on the roof everyday to see the paint strokes are tidy!! Get a life Sadie (the cleaning lady).
@glen1792 It would utterly infuriate me, I like things done in a neat and orderly way.
@@FlatRoofDoctor i love you doc 😂😂 your funny would love to learn from you honestly.
Where can we find this paint of turbo poly seal and UV Coating?
sorry, only i the USA. not exporting for now
What about on a pitched tin roof with staples (2000 mobile home) ? Also what are all the products you are using? My entire roof is rusted, it has never been coated and it only just started having 2 small leaks.
What sealant is that and what's that plastic sheet you put in between the 2 coats of sealant?
Polyester Fleece. bergstromm.com/product/poly-fleece-rolls-2/
@@FlatRoofDoctor the sealant too
Turbo Poly Seal
👍🏾👍🏾
I have lots of questions
Where do you get the fleece
Just looked it up ourselves , TURBO POLY SEAL & TURBO POLY FLEECE
i can fix those leaks. how about the hard leaks.i have a bath vent that had to be installed right on top of two ridges ,one on each side .it leaks no matter what i put on it. can u fix that?!!!!!!
What is the paper you are using?
toilet papers
Can you give the local distributor address of this product at Bangladesh. Or is it available at Global Market?
sorry, it is not
1. You NEVER cover a hex headed screw with fabric, this creates bridging (an air pocket and/or fish mouths) around the fastener...You must cut the cloth at the fastener for proper waterproofing! 2. You always remove old caulking and tar...NEVER cover AND ALWAYS clean the surface area! 3. Is Turbo Poly Seal a Rust Inhibitor? 4. Always a bigger diameter screw, BINGO CORRECT! 5. FOLKS, always clean the surface area a minimum of 6" beyond the repairing area. 6. The aluminum coating will crack with in 3-5 years!
You are right in what you said. I am an idiot. Thanks for the comment
I hope he makes an update version ,I kinda understand your comment .but I'm a bit of a visual learner (aka I'm kinda stupid when it comes to this
so are you saying there's no point in using aluminum coating??
@@itsmedante.5325 Aluminum coatings have a place, but not in this application. Aluminum coatings have no expansion/contractions properties.
I am renovating an old trailer with a metal roof. I am using a wire brush to clean the roof to bare metal then I will do as you say. Question: what if I can’t get to the hard to reach caulking? Can I just caulk over what I can? Must I remove all rust with the wire brush before repairing? Thank you
What is the coating and white tape you are using?
What's the name of white paper
So what type of paper is that?
I thought it was tp at first!
How about telling us what you used
What is the black liquid you are applying is it bitcherman
Who is these cats trying to tell you what to do on here? Looks over purpose, those idiots don’t understand your wasting time, and material trying to make it look good..... I highly recommend trying Polyseal 2500, 4” wide 3/4 nap roller. Dipband roll coat screws laps, etc! 😉
These "cats" try to help others, not like "some" that have so much pride in whom they are, that they like to talk bad about everyone else
Just power wash it and coat it with a GAF coating system. This roof is toast….
Scissors to cut toilet paper lol
That's a fiber mesh
@@lottaoswalt5442 haha my bad I honestly thought it was toilet paper
20 years for bitumen
Waterproofing over endlaps...
Screws in pan instead of rib..
Too much errors
Is it toilet paper?
Didn't say what he used as a sealer.
He sounds exactly just like my ex-husband while working on a project!!! 😅
Did he use toilet paper as a mesh?
Membrane
looks like
When making instructional videos best to assume audience knows very little. Explain to them like they are 5 years old. You start by saying don’t coat your roof. Coat with what? Presumably tar but you don’t say that.
How about you come and fix my roof and I’ll teach you how to communicate properly
