I've done a little roofing here and there, one of the guys guiding me says "it's easy when you remember that water doesn't run up hill", and a different guy working with me said, "except for when it does".
Old roofer was saying exactly that when a plumber corrected him and said water will seek its own level. This has stuck with me and let's also not forget why ice and water membrane was created... from ice dams backing up in the gutter! Always drip edge on top of your ice and water barrier.
Metal man. Those seems made me cry. I been braking metal for 25 years. People think o that ezy. To do it properly and make it look like that is a art form that most can't do.
What is interesting to me is that people built houses that are over 100 years old and didn't use these sort of products. How did they do it? What was the zip system for the late 1800s / early 1900s?
Ones that were done right had built in redundancies to ensure water intrusion wasn't an issue. Like clay shingles that overlap alot or tar etc, others were just leaky messes and were retrofitted later.
I would have to say the way this is built will last a long time . But ppl are going for a well sound house that can be efficient through any weather situation. To ur question about 1800s to now . They didn't have the resources or know how like we do today . For example take the insulation out of 1 bedroom in the attic only . It will be hotter in the summer and colder in the winter by 10 to 20 degrees in temperature . Now in the same room take the insulation out of the walls and u will lose 50 % of heat to cool if not more . So to answer ur question that ppl have came along way and with better invention and materials to make for a better living and more durable house in all climate situations
Ahh yes.. let’s take my parents house as the example bc it’s over a 100yrs on now. It’s.. a.. fkn.. shitshow 😫 JUST tonight I found 2 drain pipes that were leaking they had no idea of. my mother started stressing out & was reminded of when I was a kid the roof started unknowingly leaking & while she was on the 3rd floor (walk in attic type) the Sheetrock fell on her from the water ingress!? My pops is in the other room mumbling.. ahh this POS house!? We should have sold it! Spent all this money trying to fix it up only for another thing to go wrong 😡 There house was built in a fairly nice new neighborhood also, so it’s not just any jalopy lol So many of these older houses have dozens of issues that would be easily prevented with todays standards & technology! But so much of it comes down to building it “the correct way” which now & then can easily be skipped…
A high percentage of homes that are still standing from late 18’s early 19’s are in pretty rough shape & have to be tended to often. There are those that have really been taken care of over the century and were probably cutting edge for that time. Back then the old growth wood they used was more dense, held up better to weather and more rot/insect resistant . Slate roofs, which basically last forever were used a lot too. If they had the building science that we have today, it would be insane how much longer they could last.
Man I'm surprised that valley doesn't have a hem on the edges, if you've ever carried more than one piece of valley at a time up a ladder, you know exactly what I'm talking about needing that hemmed edge on both sides of the W Valley.. shit will slice you up like a razor blade .!!.
If business gets slow and you are looking for a job I will have you guys put a standing seem roof on my house using that Zip system. I love the work you guys do. It's all in the details. @@w.k.d.constructionllc
we were flashing skylights with Grace ice n water shield. the wind grabbed the piece and wrapped up around the big savage that was applying it... had to kerosene his whole big self and inch it off... kinda like the 40 yr old virgin, only his hole upper... Kelly Clarkson!!! 🤣😂
Tell me you dont trust your metal work without telling me. Seriously, these are extremely expensive prep materials and decking and are not necessary if you trust the ACTUAL ROOFING
@sebione3576 *Over spend not overbuild. According to your logic he should be using real plywood instead of coated OSB because if OSB does get moisture infiltration it fails much sooner than plywood plus Zip panels cannot BREATHE. Wood needs to be able to breathe and when Zip systems fail it is CATASTROPHIC and OSB would have been better. And no I dont 'slap on shingles' I properly install quality shingles like CertainTeed over economy underlayment because that meets code, If this roof in the video never leaks then it was a waste of prep material, if it does leak then someone made an installation mistake. Facts.
Man that joint at the peak is CLEAN!
Appreciate it!
Got it coach
Had to comment on this! What a super clean install. Ain't no way that roof is gonna leak.
Appreciate it!
Except at the nail holes.
Whoa, extreme protection!
Yesssss!💪🏼

😆 they are both correct!

Love the zip.

Appreciate it boss, it is definitely an art form!
Looks clean my guy!
Appreciate it
I would love to work for you for real
🤙🏻
I’d use this for the shower pans coach. Save some dough for the beers
Syd is that you!?!??? Lol😂
Nope

Leaks…

In our area, even if they did use it, it wouldn't be done right. They want to do a roof job in ONE DAY! 😮
😬
That’s what I’m talking about !
Yesssss!

How about coming to Memphis to put a Standing seem roof on my house please. Nice work!
😆 sorry boss, that’s a little too far

I’d hirebuall in a heartbeat
With that you don't need the metal roof anymore 😂
Nice
Thanks
Tell me you dont trust your metal work without telling me. Seriously, these are extremely expensive prep materials and decking and are not necessary if you trust the ACTUAL ROOFING
🙄 prep work has to be bulletproof before the finished roofing is installed
@@w.k.d.constructionllc What area of this roof deck do you plan on the roofing/fasteners failing?
@@jacobostapowicz8188 yeah man just slap some shingles on it and send it. No need to overbuild when you can underbuild amirite?

Or just build a proper house with a traditional roof and use lead and tiles.

Pennetrate
Maybe
Just the tip Coach 😢
