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

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!

Thank you for making this video. Lots of great information for those wanting to learn how to make repairs like this.

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.

What’s the materials that you are using for repair??

[MrMoss]

This video was so good, I had to watch it again and downloaded it for reference later. Thanks again.

The sniffles and grunts and groans remind me of work with my dad rip pops

[consideratek]

at first glance, it looks like he is fixing these leaks with toilet paper and baby doo doo.

You are amazing

Thank you so much for this and for making it look so simple.

Hard worker workin sickly thanks for the good advice

How much toilet paper roll to put on seam?

[MrMoss]

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 ;)

[bowen]

Sand the rust, use metal prep and galvanizing paint, then a dab of sealant..and oversized screws.

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.

What paint you sir to seal the leak and the paper you also put with the paint?

[patrickobrien]

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.

What about the leaks that will develop over the next few years? More work for him? Coat the whole roof and be done for at least 5 years.

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
