Minnesota Roofing Contractors and Repair Company

This is a great video!

Great video bill

Got to tell you, Arran, when I do my $247 dollar repair — they ARE good to go for years — unless the roof is just toast!

Here’s the problem with class action lawsuits: my customers have leaks now! And have you ever noticed what someone gets from a class action lawsuit when they win? The lawyers get all of the money. Empower them? Right.

My $247 roof repair special does all the things you’re talking about — without hiring an attorney. Every body’s happy.

Good to go for years…lol..Good to go for years of you nickle & dimeing him for a $300-$500 patch every spring or fall or both…Tell the truth he’s screwed Bill & you know it…help him go after the builder…wheres your balls Bill. Tell him to tell his neighbors to have you check thier roofs for the same crap & empower all of them to file a class action on the builder for implied warrenty with the understanding they have you do the work for your help, price them low for volume no one argues.

those nails are close enough, wind would have still done damage. those shingles were nailed HOT.

Great vid… thanks!

10 bucks says a bus load of illegals put them on with an airgun!! sorry for not bein politically correct!!

Very helpful

time to sue.

this looks almost exactly like my roof in california. wind tore off a few shingles and all the nails are all over the place. so many builders that dont pay enough attention to these details.

I’m redoing a roof (manufactured home) that the factory used staples – way too many, way too deep. Vinyl vents failed too, and not a sheathing clip to be found so the edges between rafters are roller coastering. Just finished stripping and replacement of 20 sheets along with ripping out 6 truss tops and replacing them with dimensional lumber. ALL hand nailed despite the 105 F heat index – just takes me longer to get finished so the tarps are my roofing for a few more days.

That’s all really good advice, Rsprings. Good advice on hitting the nail line too, especially on the GAFs (Timberline).

Our pressures run between 65 and 85 PSI depending on temperature, shingle thickness, age and condition of the roofing gun, etc. It’s not uncommon to have to change the settings during the day as the shingles warm up.

NOBODY in our business pays attention to pressure settings – they just nail as fast as they can and we come back a few years later and fix them.

Thanks, John. Yep, that guy was just flying — and at least half of the nails were “blown through” the shingles.

At least with Certainteed’s “sealing strip” the shingles will resist the wind for a while, until the strip dries out and loses its effectiveness. Then the shingles start blowing off.

thanks man im just learning still, shingling isnt a easy thing to just go out and do, i can tell it is just by if i were to do a roof bymslf i’d *** up big time.

You do not want to high nail as you will only hit one part of the shingle on laminates. Remember to level the gun to the deck and not angle straight up and down as you will have angled nails in the shingles. ALWAYS hit the lay/nail line on the 2 piece laminated shingle. good luck

The GAF material spec book does not list a certain PSI. This is due to different shingle sizes and different decks. You just have to remember to adjust the gun to drive the nail through the deck (blow through the deck), and have the nail flush with the shingle. Remember to level the gun to the deck and not angle straight up and down as you will have angled nails in the shingles. ALWAYS hit the lay/nail line on the 2 piece laminated shingle.

im a labourer, what is the pressure suppose to say when ur shingling a house

Those darn high nailers. They probably never hand nailed before and just jammin through em. Nice vid!
