  3. Please tell us whatever company did this so we can be sure to NEVER HIRE THEM! This kind of shit make me fucking sick, an entire roof replacement is not fucking cheap and for them to do some bullshit like this, the fucker in charge of this job needs to be hung and the men working for him whipped through the fucking streets. SHAME!

  5. That dead valley at 3:15 wow, they didn't even finish it. A dead valley can be the worst kind of leak if is done wrong, but they didn't even get that far. It's not even finished!

  7. Sloppy job but what id like to know is how did he get a quote of 20 000 ? Im guessing he got 3 or 4 quotes in the 30 to 35 000 and then this hack for 20 and went with him

    PEOPLE!!!!! U GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!

  11. I hope you were harnessed and anchored. I didnt see any reflection or shadowf your harness..where is your rope? Your obviously a professional..and so you should know..above 15ft..you should be harnessed..and it looks like your walking up a 6/12 pitch? Taking short cuts does not make you a professional..specially when it comes to safety. Makes you an idiot

  13. 40+ squares of multilevel, steep, complex roofing… If he paid 20 grand, he got his money's worth when they removed and disposed of THIRTY-TWO THOUSAND POUNDS of clay tiles (8psf x 4,000 sq ft). Grand Sequoia shingles are $200 a square, and by the time you put in pipe boots, dripedge, nails, underlayment, self sealing membrane, cap shingles, metal valley, starter shingles, ridge vent, you have over $300 per square, or at least $12,000 IN MATERIAL ONLY. Add permit fees, local taxes, and disposal, and you're at 14 or 15 grand cost BEFORE LABOR. Which leaves $1.25 per square foot to tear off tile, prepare roof deck, apply underlayment, flash, install these thick heavy high-end shingles, install accessories, and clean up to break even with ZERO OVERHEAD AND NO INSURANCE. You get what you pay for. I would have bid that job at about $45,000 and made an honest 10% profit margin being a legit contractor using skilled, documented, insured labor with NO SUBCONTRACTOR. Go for the low bid. "It'll be nice 'cause you'll do it twice."

  15. Its amazing seeing through the eyes of an expert. At the beginning of the video the roof looked really nice. It looked pretty fine to me since i know next to nothing about roofs. Then he starts pointing out error after error that you'd never know about otherwise.

  21. To me it just looks like the homeowners are simply screwed out of 3/4 the money. Which is WAY too much for them to have given up already.

    You sure as hell don't want the same people back up there, and the company probably isn't going to refund the other 15k and walk away. If you try to sue them, they'll just run off or declare bankruptcy.

    So what are you to do in a situation like this??

  25. I was out in Temecula installing solar panels and roofing houses and it really, seriously is not that hard. You follow instructions that come with the shingles and cover the keyways, and then you waterproof what needs to be waterproofed and boom you're done

  30. What I have seen that leads to this kind of work is contractors hiring subcontractors who also subcontract the job to a third party. The crew that ends up doing the job is there unsupervised and in a hurry to finish the job because they are making very little. By the way, many times these crews may only have one guy who really knows what he is doing.
