A lot of comments here about how admirable Kyle is doing as a father and teacher BUT Cole, sir, I don't think you'll truly understand how much your father adores the time you spend with him and how much he deeply appreciates his son not only learning his trade but actually desiring to spend time with him until you're a father too. Every boy becomes a man. Some men become fathers. Great fathers though are great not because of their efforts only but by being given great sons. As my grandfather always told his grandsons: Cole, you're a gentleman and a scholar. Keep that attitude throughout your life and much happiness will follow you all of your days. With an abundance of happiness those around you will shine too. That's what we see here. Thank you both for sharing these moments with us!
You are a good Dad. Taking the time to teach your sons is an admiral thing. You are teaching them much more than carpentry. You are teaching them how to navigate life, and how to do it successfully.
@RR Buildings. Kyle, you are teaching construction to everyone via youtube. it's like getting shop class every week. you do a good job explaining why and how.
My father was a good man but he never taught me squat because he was busy working 3 jobs to raise us 4 kids. I remember the few times though he spent quality time with us but they were few and far between. After my father retired I’ve been able to spend much time with him as I don’t have kids. What I’m saying is enjoy your time with your father as time goes by so quickly. Making memories is everything.
I love this. I wish I was able to do or learn this kind of stuff with my own dad. I have a 3 1/2-year-old and I'm already getting him into helping me with projects that are safe enough for him to handle. Fatherhood is definitely something special, especially when you can teach them things you are passionate about, and they enjoy it along with you.
I know I don’t leave much comments as I should but it’s nice seeing Cole in the videos! Nice to see you teaching your son the trade! Keep up the good work Kyle 👊🏽
And the whole time Cole is thinking to himself I need to do well in school so I can get a job that doesn't have me crawling around on somebody's roof in the middle of winter
"You didnt do anything wrong" "but heres what i would say you could do". Youd never believe how much better my development as a tradesman wouldve went if i had this kind of constructive criticism when i was learning. EVERYONE makes mistakes, with not exceptions, and youre going about it in such a good way Kyle.
Your son seems very keen to learn and takes everything on board, like his attention is always there. Cole - you can NEVER ask too many questions, and there's no such thing as a stupid question. You are young, be a sponge, take as much in now and you will reap the beneifts the older you get. Top work
I was learning metal roofs from a guy in my state and he was awful man. Couldn’t teach anything without making you feel stupid for asking questions. Always had a crumby outlook and was just stubborn and ornery as all hell. I had a blow out with him on a job and quit on him in the middle of the day because I was so done with the way he treated me. Dude was a great roofer he knew his stuff but that doesn’t mean a thing when you can’t teach it. Watching this videos really solidifies the fact that there are good leaders out there who can teach and explain as they go. I wish I was on your crew when I was learning.
Did the roof of my shop and bodged it up, not horrible, it's dry and leak-free, but definitely not perfectly square and plenty of small oil canning. Wish I found these videos 8 years ago!
You may want to use a plastic hammer to tap the metal seams as if you continue to hit with fist-wrist, down the road as you get older, you could develop arthritis.
Recently found your channel thru Perkins Bros. I love the content. This is the first series I'm watching, I started at the beginning. It's nice to see y'all bonding over working. He's a good kid.
Good job teaching! It takes a few times to get the screw technique down. My Dad had a totally different way of teaching in the late 60's early 1970's. Don't care to go back there. Top notch work as we have come to know over the years from you and your team!
Kyle you are a lucky man to have a son who enjoys his work like dad enjoys it !!! I sure was a lucky cat working with my dad , who passed away a couple of weeks ago.
Brings back a million memories of me working for my old man building houses when I was old enough to swing a hammer. Didn’t like it then, grateful for it now. ❤
so amazing to see such a strong father and son bond, Cole is getting more and more confident he's going to be your future full time eployee working with greg
Now that I've watched this...I can't trust anyone to build my roof. I'm gonna want it done just like what you did with the WeatherLogic and VaporDry SA.
Ok. I think I've been watching Kyle's videos too long. Cole makes a gesture at 18:05 when he says, "I made a choice to smack it with my hand," that looks exactly like a gesture that Kyle has made hundreds of times. It's weird. Just the little things that a father passes on to his son. Also, really cool that this video was so much father and son working together. Really awesome seeing the knowledge and skill transfer.
@RR Buildings On you duck bills for closing the hem take some felt and adhere it to the duck bills then you don't risk scratching the metal. Have a set that is set up for hemming with felt so it doesn't scratch than have a regular set for normal heming and bending.
It's awesome to see how you get your son out on the job sites to help and learn a life skill. My grandfather did the same with me when we built exclusive homes up at Incline Village, Lake Tahoe, NV.
What a great video and knowledge for cole and time with dad he'll never forget.... hopefully he will tell his son about the time he was putting the roof on rr hq 2.0 with his dad....
I hope you appreciate Greg when you get him back. He knows every move to make and you can trust he is doing the right job on his end without you having to check everything. It’s definitely a lot harder when you are trying to teach someone and get the job done.
"OK you're trying to send it to Mars there..." That had me laughing. I'm a father and really appreciate the relationship building here. Well done, guys.
My dad had a handyman company,and we always fixed everything around the house ourselves. I have always had a white colored job, but I have said thousands and thousands over the years by being able to do most of the stuff around the house myself. Not so much anymore becuase of health problems, but now I know what to look for when someone does a good or crappy job.
Hi Kyle, Great vid as always. I know you'll think I'm nagging again but you've got to lead by example, especially when it comes to Cole. He's digesting your disregard for a fall-restraint system. You're wearing 90% of it but you're not hooked-up. That's the equivalent of wearing 0%. Thanks for putting it on later. Off soap-box. :)
Awesome Kyle, I wish my father had taught me with the patience you give your son. It's awesome that he can joke right back with you. Obvious respect for one another but companionship all the way. Great job guys! Been following the build, more than expressive, thank you for the videos. I'm about to start building my first home, (small barndominium) and have watched a few different videos and by FAR your videos are so much more professional and explainable. Thank you!✌️
Im going to have the shingles replaced on my house in the near future and I want to have standing seam metal installed, my only fear is finding someone that can do the quality work like you here in West Virginia.
Mr. Kyle, this building will likely be around in the year 2074, and still in good condition. It would be cool to see a video of what the owner in 2074, might add on to this building. A lean-too ?, a carport ?, a hot-tub ?, a EV Charging-Station ?, lots of solar-panels ?, a wrap-around covered-patio ? a fireplace ? a wood-fired boiler ? etc.
Good job Cole. I know it's tough to follow an expert like your pops but if you do you'll become an expert of your own and it's a more valuable skillset than it was when your dad was learning because contractors were a dime a dozen. Stick with it
Save your hands (there important tools, you only get get two that has to last till your old)...use a rubber mallet with a towel wrapped around the head... JS...
@johnlee7085 no he does the exact opposite. His adaptation is "I'm going to impose my perfectionism on you, but not teach you how to achieve that, and won't be patient with your mistakes along the way"
With modern adhesive backed roof underlayments the hot kettle is becoming extinct on most residential roofing jobs. Looks great and standing seam properly installed is just about bullet proof
A dead blow hammer would make easy work of starting the seam connection while being easier on the palm of your hand. And of course not marring the finish.
I despise extra modes on tools,like modes on impact drivers. However they are useful for the newbies. One extra benefit of cedar breather,should help avoid oil can in the panel field. I remember someone on IG using two 1/4 backer rods per snap lock panel. Very few jobs are rocket science, but there is a science to every task.
The cedar breather is great stuff used it on my garage three years ago when I put my cedar roof on wished I would’ve had a 27 years ago when I did the house I had to fur every course with a one by inch and a half a lot of extra work will be changing the roof on the house next year definitely going to use cedar breather again
@6:10 the screw tightness, use a drill/driver with a clutch setting and set it up and forget it. Also some impact drivers have settings like Srews, impact and heavy impacts like my Dewalt 887, i also remember a milwauke impact had a specific setting for exactly this type of an installation
You and Cole are hysterical, it’s nice to see you guys going back and forth. I’d like to see more of Greg interacting like that. I’m sure he does. And it just doesn’t make the cut. lol
LOve your work, love the videos. My only two suggestions is, why dont you have him use a rubber mallet to set the panel? Thats what i did with my standing, snap lock roof and it worked well. Second, i used a screw gun with my clutch set to the correct torque to set my screws every time. That also worked well.
Give that poor kid a rubber mallet lol his hand/fist is going to be swollen, black and blue after pounding all those panels on... Great work though!! I check square different but there's more than one way to do things and it's good to see you are teaching to leave the tab on. It's very true no one does that anymore.

Very well said.
The way you teach is great. It’s no wonder Greg can do such good quality. It was taught by a patient leader.
Kyle irons his pillowcases and cross measures for square before putting on the pillow! I love the detail he has.
I love this. I wish I was able to do or learn this kind of stuff with my own dad.

It is always great to see young apprentice Cole - good job. It is also good to see father - son working on a project that will last a good long time.
Your son seems very keen to learn and takes everything on board, like his attention is always there. Cole - you can NEVER ask too many questions, and there's no such thing as a stupid question. You are young, be a sponge, take as much in now and you will reap the beneifts the older you get. Top work

Father working with Son... Priceless.
Good morning. Cole knows his dad and his dad certainly knows Cole. Father, son relationship is indeed special.
What a great relationship you two have. Great job Mom and Dad. Fun video.
Good stuff teaching the young fella the trade Kyle, reminds me of me and my old man, good times!
Where did Cole go after lunch lol,j/k nice to see a younger generation having interest ,keep teaching him we need him in the trades great job
Kyle and Cole….great team. He will soon be a billy goat…keep him up there.
I can tell Kyle had a lot of “proud dad” moments here! The future of RR looks prosperous! Well done Gents!
I was folding eaves for years before my dad let me up on the roof to fasten panels! Keep it up Cole!
Did the roof of my shop and bodged it up, not horrible, it's dry and leak-free, but definitely not perfectly square and plenty of small oil canning. Wish I found these videos 8 years ago!
Everyone’s disappointed in there first metal roof, and even when you start to master it you’ll beat your self up over the little imperfections.
come on man, it's a shop, suppose to be rough on the edges
You may want to use a plastic hammer to tap the metal seams as if you continue to hit with fist-wrist, down the road as you get older, you could develop arthritis.
Recently found your channel thru Perkins Bros. I love the content. This is the first series I'm watching, I started at the beginning. It's nice to see y'all bonding over working. He's a good kid.
So great to watch father and son work together.

Kyle you are a lucky man to have a son who enjoys his work like dad enjoys it !!! I sure was a lucky cat working with my dad , who passed away a couple of weeks ago.
Sorry for your loss. Hopefully videos like this bring back more great memories from your time together
This is what dads are for, they should show all their kids the skill they have accumulated.
Brings back a million memories of me working for my old man building houses when I was old enough to swing a hammer. Didn’t like it then, grateful for it now. ❤
Father and son time ... precious
so amazing to see such a strong father and son bond, Cole is getting more and more confident he's going to be your future full time eployee working with greg
If I didn't have projects of my own going on...I could watch you guys all day!
Good bonding!
Who doesn't love workin on stuff with their old man?! 😁 great video, love the look of a standing seam roof
Now that I've watched this...I can't trust anyone to build my roof. I'm gonna want it done just like what you did with the WeatherLogic and VaporDry SA.
Ok. I think I've been watching Kyle's videos too long. Cole makes a gesture at 18:05 when he says, "I made a choice to smack it with my hand," that looks exactly like a gesture that Kyle has made hundreds of times. It's weird. Just the little things that a father passes on to his son.

Nothing beats the look of standing seam!
@RR Buildings On you duck bills for closing the hem take some felt and adhere it to the duck bills then you don't risk scratching the metal. Have a set that is set up for hemming with felt so it doesn't scratch than have a regular set for normal heming and bending.
Good work Cole, people are going to be real lucky to have you work on their properties in the future
Considering Greg and Cole are learning this at an earlier age the you will definitely set them up for the future .
Nice to see Father and Son working together
It's awesome to see how you get your son out on the job sites to help and learn a life skill. My grandfather did the same with me when we built exclusive homes up at Incline Village, Lake Tahoe, NV.
What a great video and knowledge for cole and time with dad he'll never forget.... hopefully he will tell his son about the time he was putting the roof on rr hq 2.0 with his dad....
Ahh, now I know how my roofer was supposed to do it! Doing it myself next time. Love your attention to detail!
Beautiful bantor between Cole(Kole) and Kyle!
Both of my boys worked with me on framing houses, thankful for that time
Great father and son day.
I hope you appreciate Greg when you get him back. He knows every move to make and you can trust he is doing the right job on his end without you having to check everything. It’s definitely a lot harder when you are trying to teach someone and get the job done.
"OK you're trying to send it to Mars there..." That had me laughing. I'm a father and really appreciate the relationship building here. Well done, guys.
You and your son is the best!!
Roof looks GREAT! I really appreciate the take along. I see having the layout mark top and bottom is critical. Thanks!
My dad had a handyman company,and we always fixed everything around the house ourselves. I have always had a white colored job, but I have said thousands and thousands over the years by being able to do most of the stuff around the house myself.

I'm about to start building my first home, (small barndominium) and have watched a few different videos and by FAR your videos are so much more professional and explainable. Thank you!✌️
Good to see your boy giving you some back, Greg could learn a thing or two from him.
Y'all are cracking me up, great video today.
Reminds me of me and my dad when I was Cole's age :)
I did a snap lock job because of your vids in the summer and I never laid out shit 😂😂😂but I did eyeball the rows straight
If it looks straight it is straight 😂
Great job!
Great job as always guys. So surprised Cole didn’t call you Greg 😂👍👍🏴🏴
I always snap the standing seem in before putting any screws in
Thanks Kyle & Cole. 😁👍🏼
Awesome father son day! And to see his sarcasm level maturing right in front of you! 😂
He is a good boy. You can be very proud. He has open ears and eys..
Looks great fellas
Cole did good. Great parenting dude.
Cole -"maybe he does know what he's talking about" 😂❤
Great video guys , awsome build 🎉
Im going to have the shingles replaced on my house in the near future and I want to have standing seam metal installed, my only fear is finding someone that can do the quality work like you here in West Virginia.
Awesome job!
Fabulous Job Cole !!!!!!!!
Good sense in locking in panel to layout at top with set screw before pushing standing seam together
Lo mejor de estos videos es la forma que enseña a su hijo ❤ que gran padre que bien se a de sentir tener un padre así 😃
Good job Cole!
Mr. Kyle, this building will likely be around in the year 2074, and still in good condition. It would be cool to see a video of what the owner in 2074, might add on to this building. A lean-too ?, a carport ?, a hot-tub ?, a EV Charging-Station ?, lots of solar-panels ?, a

Save your hands (there important tools, you only get get two that has to last till your old)...use a rubber mallet with a towel wrapped around the head... JS...
Your Videos always from great Interesting. Then You Work always with the Innovation Working Material.! Thanks
Thank you Kyle for all the sweet tips and tricks
Biggest thing in teaching your kids... explain why you are doing things... instead of just hold this there do that
yes!^^^ well said..
Not just your kid, but anybody!
Was coming here to say this. It makes me sad watching some of the interactions. Patience needed. But man, could be sooo much worse.
He does a great job also in adapting to what his son can do.
@johnlee7085 no he does the exact opposite. His adaptation is "I'm going to impose my perfectionism on you, but not teach you how to achieve that, and won't be patient with your mistakes along the way"
Cole the roof star!⭐️
😂😂😂😂 that roof slap "good quality" by Cole. Love the father son videos, keep em coming.
With modern adhesive backed roof underlayments the hot kettle is becoming extinct on most residential roofing jobs. Looks great and standing seam properly installed is just about bullet proof
Roof looks sharp!
A dead blow hammer would make easy work of starting the seam connection while being easier on the palm of your hand. And of course not marring the finish.
BEAUTIFUL JOB GUYS‼️ YOUR SON LEARNS FAST‼️ Vinny 🇺🇸
Love it so much keep it up as always 💘
I can't wait to see this thing finished.
I despise extra modes on tools,like modes on impact drivers.
However they are useful for the newbies.
One extra benefit of cedar breather,should help avoid oil can in the panel field.
I remember someone on IG using two 1/4 backer rods per snap lock panel.

I like running diagonal furring strips and silicone the high side.of them. It's less tedious than the roll out stuff.
@6:10 the screw tightness, use a drill/driver with a clutch setting and set it up and forget it. Also some impact drivers have settings like Srews, impact and heavy impacts like my Dewalt 887, i also remember a milwauke impact had a specific setting for exactly this type of an installation
Young Cole is a lefty.😂. I love the snap system.
Love the detailed explanation of everything ! Thank you !I really hope CZcams gives you the possibility to do this for fun
Great detail - great build.
You and Cole are hysterical, it’s nice to see you guys going back and forth. I’d like to see more of Greg interacting like that. I’m sure he does. And it just doesn’t make the cut. lol
Awesome watch!
Cheers from Nova Scotia!
Good morning happy Saturday 👍😎👍👌✌️🙏🙏🙏👍
Good morning everyone ☕🍩👍
Great stuff Kyle. The most noticeable thing in this video was how loosely your shoes were tied lol!
Kyle: I’m in southern Wisconsin not far from you. I often wonder if the rain screen material used on roofs and walls end up loaded with stink bugs?
You should get a little step stool for climbing up out of the lift onto the roof, it will save on your muscles.
LOve your work, love the videos. My only two suggestions is, why dont you have him use a rubber mallet to set the panel? Thats what i did with my standing, snap lock roof and it worked well. Second, i used a screw gun with my clutch set to the correct torque to set my screws every time. That also worked well.
