Best Metal Roof Valley Trick

When installing standing seam or
Snap lock roofing, this is the best trick to keep your metal scratch free! Keep a sacrificial piece of metal handy to take the abuse so your finished roof doesn’t have to!

I’ve worked on quite a few standing seam roofs and never thought of that for a valley piece install. Very nice work.

A rare contractor who cares about the finish of their work

The little things that separate pros from the diyer lol I would have definitely scratched something and the piece your using seems to stay put while you work on it

Nice job. Wish more contractors took pride in their work.

See this is why I love YouTube. A little but genius idea.!!

Those that don't understand this tip have a long way to go. The metal on the panel is angled down so it would scratch. Now the scrap metal can go straight in the lip.
Awesome work thanks

Videos like this make me realize how much I still have to learn! Great tip🤙🏼🤙🏼

[mikemckinley]

These are the kind of tips I love that you share Kyle. Thanks bro!

Duct tape also on the backside of the scrap to prevent any scratches, great tip👍

It is a responsibility and do the job right! You can be my roof to go to..many roofer contractors (including my concrete roof tile contractors did a half ass job by NOT even a nail to secure the roof tile). Thanks for your video and hope those roofers can learn from your video.

This is an awesome video, its better not to learn by experience in this situation and learn from his short video.

He’s a true pro that cares about results 👍

These are such good tidbits to know in the trades. It's the small things ya know making it more enjoyable when doing them seeing the end result!

Good to see someone that cares about their work!

[Glum]

Good cheat, thanks. As a remodeler who has to know many trades (somewhat), these tips from the specialists are a godsend!

[temoswalt]

Nice work, glad to see someone taking pride in their work.

[DudeBro]

Wow, that looks so clean. Nice work!!

I use flexible plastic cutting mats. This is the best way to not scratch the metal. I use three plastic cutting mats at a time so once I finish with one panel I just move one of the three plastic mats up or down depending on if I’m working up or down. I tuck the plastic mat under and it hold the plastic mats down. Then you have more room to work with and not scratch the metal. I also link them together with duck tape and also at the ends of the plastic so they don’t slid around. 💰

I just want someone like that the next time I need a roof.

[josiahfisher]

That’s a great tip! I’ll definitely be using it next time.
