After watching your simple instructions, I think I'm going to replace my old roof vents myself, thank you

I just bought a house that was built in 1952 and all your videos have been EXTREMELY helpful in all the DIY reno projects that I have been trial-and-erroring my way through. The information, pace, camera angles, lighting, and demonstrations that you guys do in your videos are second to none. I especially liked your video on installing a hanging ceiling, and doing kitchen wiring. Many thanks! HouseImprovements has saved me loads of time, money, effort, and frustration. I hope you guys keep making vids.

Thanks for the video. I bought my house three years ago from an elderly man that was in a nursing home. I see my roof vents where done incorrectly and I will get water in my kitchen every so often. This video will help me fix those. Thanks again from the U.S.

Thanks Shanon from a grateful Gringo. You Canadians are our perfect neighbors, so meticulous, so experienced, so confident in world class infrastructure ventures. I see your homes when I visit every part of your country and am filled with envy and admiration. Every part of your residential and commercial zones sticks out as so modern and classy compared to US, Europe, Australia, Japan. Non like some of our run down dilapidated, boarded up, 3rd world areas. .

Dude I loved how you used a square and a little piece of plywood to cut on it makes nice looking work it’s how our younger guys need to do it until they get better at making straighter freehanded cuts without also cutting through the finished roof ;)

I don't know why people gave him thumb down as a homeowner I find his videos are very helpful.

If you nail a receiver to the first shingle-cut. It will have a lip that will capture the bottom of the vent. No nails through bottom of vent once done.

I use three 4” pieces of Aluminum or copper for my receiver. I nail it to roof at marked location for a 1/4 lap ( bend over ) at bottom of vent, Mark location of vent nail receiver first hanging down past your marked location. seal with putty, install vent as you have.
Only difference is I do not nail vent at the bottom. I fold over 3 tabs on my receiver. Basically flat strip that hangs past vent and fold over to capture vent bottom
Hope that explains to a novice.

I only have one roof left to finish ( mine ) and my 40 year roofing career is done. Mainly commercial jobs.

Enjoyed your video.

This video is just super. Very well explained. I shingled my own roof and now doing other friends and family's roofs. Thanks Shannon. Your are a great mentor.

Perfect timing for this video! I need to put a couple roof vents on a shed I just had built. You wouldn't believe how hard it is to find a proper video for roof vent installations! Thanks again.

Great video! I’m a home inspector and you made it so easy to understand venting (1sf = 300sf) approx. and I know what to look for as far as how install should look. I’m a new subscriber and can’t wait to learn more from you. Thanks 🙏

Thanks so much for posting. I will tackle this since I am at home during COVID-19.

Thank you Shannon for showing me how to install a roof vent properly. Now, I'm not so intimidated.

Thank you for getting the wood plank out of the attic! A small thing, but shows pride of work.

Those black jack tar tubes just never stop pouring out! Hahah, you know exactly what im talking about cause you kept the tube under shingles when not in use.
