How to Tear Off 2 Layers at once

In this video we discuss how to tear off 2 layers at once rather than jerk around with the top layer and then the crumbly bottom layer after. This method allows you to get the nails as you go and keeps up with the trash carry.

First, thank you for the videos. I appreciate your work ethic and the depth of knowledge that take time to share with us.


Second, I'm doing my own roof (first time ever doing roofing work) and it has 3 layers on it. I have to say, roofing is physically demanding and so I have a lot more respect for you roofers than I already had previously and fully appreciate your trade.

I live in northeast Oregon and EVERY fucken roof I’ve done working for two different roofing companies (one only paid me a total 300 bucks after over a month of working for them.) every single roof was double or triple layered. My first tear off was cedar shake below three or four layers of shingles. I figured fastest way to do it was parking the dump truck next to the house while I went ham with the tool at the cedar shake until I had a good run along one side. Then I started at the bottom of the roof stripping one row of squares at a time took me 3 hours. Almost entirely on my own to strip the one side of that house but it was better than trying to go at it one layer at a time like I saw the other guys doing took almost three full dump loads to get that roof off. But it was still a one day job. The next day I think the guys that did the install took about three or four hours. There was a lot of bad squares that needed replacing and we had to have someone come out to check the fire damage that wasn’t revealed till afterwards to make sure we could continue.

Same way we tear off but instead of bins we use tarps it seems easier but everyone has their ways! Great content 😎👍🏼

Good job guy’s
Just use 6x8 a small plastic tarp for removing the trash is going to be much easier than the trash can
Good job 👍🏽

Sometimes with two layer we cut the roof into a grid of 3’x3’ pieces with a skill saw. We set the depth so it doesn’t cut the decking and then peel up both layers together but they’re in nice manageable pieces. Of course if the first layer is crumb fest this doesn’t exactly work
Edit: use your oldest shittiest saw lol that’s what we do

[danconlan]

See you guys are bustin butt as usual! Keep up the great work! Oh, and first!!K

Use a piece of synthetic felt to carry the giblets. Personally, I like to cover the ground with tarps so I can blow the smaller pieces off. I like the way you run 1 laborer per shovel, keeping your crew working as a unit. That's how I do things. I've seen 4 man crews knock out 45 square tear-offs in one single day on a daily basis. Believe me, I carried the trash and fed the shingles. Hard work, but I've earned bragging rights, knowledge, and bad b*tches.

Please do a video on sidewall flashing when reroofing. Like when you're fighting rusted out old galvanized steps that are nailed tight to the wall under siding. I've seen roofers just go with what they have and rely on caulk/tar or they cut out 4" or so of siding, use new steps and then just nail on a 1x4 trim board. What's the proper way? Love watching your videos!

Show me how you do it on oak board decking roofs?My 30 years doing roofing, my dad the owner of company refused every job were the customer wanted to roof over the top of old shingles.

[davidrobbins]

Is there companies that do just roofing demo that get subbed out from a roofer?
I’m looking into doing roof demo to offer roofers is there a market for such a thing?

[jamesschneider]

Do you guys ever use tarps and forks to tear off?

[jjsroofing]

If I want to take both layers off at once I use a potato fork. You might have to go over it with your ripper to pull the odd nail out after.
Either it’s hard work man.

[CostaAzulFishingDanielGarza]

When you get underneath the two layers do the nails come off two? Or do you have to come back to remove nails and staples?

[sjfarish]

Yeah the 2 layer tear off goes a lot easier with a crew like yours.

[gonzaloquinones]

How come I don't see you guys using double pitch forks one in each hand

[MaizeTheGamer_VR]

I hate when the new guys always wanna tear off the first layer and THEN the second layer, don't make any sense just lazy

[hunterjohnson]

Hey zack been gone for awhile. Is there anyway I could get some advice on business situations.

[Jimmymac]

Do they sell those kinda tennis shoes in Mens as well, atleast your 1 laborer looks like he's going to work and not the Boy
