Here is a roofer who doesn't cheat on the terms of the job, who knows his craft, and who thinks of others. Admirable!

Roofers came out Saturday claiming they could fix a 6x8 roof with a slight leak and now it looks like Niagara falls in that hallway! I'm gonna have to climb up there myself and try this because they wouldn't listen to me Saturday. Thanks for the video, I needed this!

Roof leaked last night. was wondering how to tarp it up, low and behold your video showed up. Thanks for the step by step! saved my butt.

Remember if you're not replacing all the shingles where your tarp is going, don't nail through your shingles otherwise you're just creating more holes for water to get in. Nail the tarp UNDER the shingles you lift up and not in a seam. Nail a 2x4 or something similar to the bottom of the tarp to weigh it down. Temporary fix and keeps holes to fix to a minimum.

God Bless you for being so honest. I live in a hurricane zone and want to make sure I have this knowledge ahead of time.

You are awesome! Thank you for being honest and ethical! We need more like you in the roofing biz. This is exactly why the owner of the company went into roofing. To be ethical! Thank you for this video!

Heading to my daughters house to do just this and your video made it very easy to understand. Thank you for a great explanation!

[Easymoneyavenue]

This guy is outstanding. It’s the presentation and professionalism for me

[markwohlin]

Thanks Steve! Looks like I will be doing this today.
If not replacing the entire roof, I was wondering about the new nail holes. I read the comments and noticed your comment about using a sealant. Great job!

[daveweatherall]

Homeowners need more people like you. Good, honest advice, well demonstrated👍👍👍

[diegoalejandromunoz]

Thanks so much for your thorough explanation. We are dealing with this now after hurricane Ian in Florida. Great job!!

[oldskoolwayy]

I like how he is calling out making sure other pro's are being professional and not half azzing the job..and this simple, to the point, not to technical like other YouTube builders.

[VeronicaMowery]

Thank you. The insurance company wanted us to call a 'professional' that would have charged us a fortune -- and we don't have that kind of money. Doesn't matter if they say they are going to reimburse, the tarpers are going to want their money up front. Going to do this before it rains this weekend!

I was watching this video very speculatively. Until at the end when he made it clear that this was a band-aid. As a roofer I was saying to myself "that won't stop the leak for very long, just temporarily." Once this guy also said as much I was impressed with the informative video, thank you.

[docjohnson]

I love honest humble people, and you are one of them. God bless you.
