You actually kind of did this the opposite. I agree on sealant under the pipe boot but you should never seal the bottom only in the off chance that your gasket fails. If the gasket fails, water will get trapped behind your caulking. You should have done the top and the sides. Also, there should be a nice upside down horseshoe bead of sealant between the shingles and the flange itself after the boot is installed. That will protect against any ice damming or water backing up around the pipe boot itself

I just finished watching the whole vid.... a nail at the bottom of flashing? with a little of flashing, like that will last season after season? Probably not what the manufacturer recommends defeats the purpose of water running off by leaving a vulnerable exposed point... I believe manufacturers instructions also have temperature for installing shingles.. better chance of glue sealing before water, ice, etc get under and in...I was about to reproofing mine in dead winter.. Thanks for the Vid tho... Keep workin

Why would u put a bead of caulk on bottom Side toward the guttering and not on top. If you chance it does seep in on top you are simply trapping the water with no way to escape except thru the attic hole. The top under side should be caulked and the bottom Underside not caulked.

No tar, ice and water shield the top and sides, it will cover nail holes too with none exposed. Not the end of the world if there is cases where there are nails exposed on the bottom of the boot just caulk the head. You can put 1-3 on the bottom of the boot, you just don’t want those nails directly under the boots natural water trail. So two nails placed on the far edges and one nail in the middle is okay. I don’t think this will leak but definitely would do it a little different i really don’t like the tar on the bottom or the gap left in the top.
@cody338539 ай бұрын
I just would have rounded the row to make the shingles curve around that boot a little better. Kinda trim it out in a way. I think it looks cleaner than having squared off edges. Also I’m surprised you used silver and not black metal to blend in with the black shingles

Sorry, but this is wrong. You never put a bead of tar at the bottom of anything. You can do it at the top, but never the bottom. ALWAYS leave the bottom open incase water does manage to get in. That way it has a place to drain. By doing a bead at the bottom if water does get in you'll get water trapped and cause rot. Especially the way he did it as a U shape. Basically made a cup for water to get trapped in. The U should have been upside down. Same goes for just about anything else requiring any type of caulking. Obviously this guy was taught wrong or self taught. Should not be making instructional videos if you dont know what you're doing. How many people have watched this and now gonna end up with dry rot issues or a leaking roof.

Without the bottom caulked the water has somewhere to escape besides pudling up causing damage and potentially going in the house. As for ice damns that doesn't make much sense. If you're using Henry's to prevent an ice damn then you're not preventing anything. A true roofer would use atleast a 3ftx3ft piece of Grace ice and water shield around every vent b4 puting on his underlayment. I dont mean to come off as ass, but if you're offering a 20 year warranty you're gonna bankrupt yourself in a few years from now when every job you've done starts having major problems

Step 1, exact same but cut both sides of the shingle that intersects the pipe 6" away from the next seams leaving the felt revealed on both sides. Do everything the same as in this video installing the boot, but put a second layer of shingle over the silver, letting that extra 6 " create a transition between seams. won't be perfect, but silver is gone. and roof is safe

Something else wrong with this video. Looks like he's putting a whole new roof on during the winter. Always a bad idea to put a new asphalt roof on when its cold out. Asphalt shingles have a bead of tar along the bottom that needs the sun to heat it up and seal to the shingle below it. Shingling in the winter you're taking a huge chance of getting high winds b4 that tar has a chance to heat up and glue itself down. Nails hardly do anything. That tar is the main thing keeping your shingles down. Without it glued down properly, 1 good windy day you can loose half of your expensive new roof. ALWAYS a better idea to do some sort of patch in the cold season if you have a leak. Then wait until it heats up to atleast the 60°s-70°s b4 doing a new roof. If you live in an area where it never gets warm than you should hire a roofer who's licensed to use a torch.

that is definitely an option
Sorry, but this is wrong. You never put a bead of tar at the bottom of anything. You can do it at the top, but never the bottom. ALWAYS leave the bottom open incase water does manage to get in. That way it has a place to drain. By doing a bead at the bottom if water does get in you'll get water trapped and cause rot. Especially the way he did it as a U shape. Basically made a cup for water to get trapped in. The U should have been upside down. Same goes for just about anything else requiring any type of caulking. Obviously this guy was taught wrong or self taught. Should not be making instructional videos if you dont know what you're doing. How many people have watched this and now gonna end up with dry rot issues or a leaking roof.

if water gets in there its a leak so it doesnt matter. i caulk the bottom to prevent ice dams from backing up under flashing. i warranty my work for 20 years and will fix any issue for free

Without the bottom caulked the water has somewhere to escape besides pudling up causing damage and potentially going in the house. As for ice damns that doesn't make much sense. If you're using Henry's to prevent an ice damn then you're not preventing anything. A true roofer would use atleast a 3ftx3ft piece of Grace ice and water shield around every vent b4 puting on his underlayment. I dont mean to come off as ass, but if you're offering a 20 year warranty you're gonna bankrupt yourself in a few years from now when every job you've done starts having major problems

I don’t like ANY nails exposed. 🤦♂️
I would definitely hire you if you were in columbus ohio!!
Step 1, exact same but cut both sides of the shingle that intersects the pipe 6" away from the next seams leaving the felt revealed on both sides. Do everything the same as in this video installing the boot, but put a second layer of shingle over the silver, letting that extra 6 " create a transition between seams. won't be perfect, but silver is gone. and roof is safe
Wow. Obviously not a roofer.
Why not just cut around it twice like real roofers ?

Wrong to much gap n never kaul bottom. Nail on vent metal. Less than 6 inches on last shingle he did caulk the boot but not the vent wich has more chance of licking so on an on
It looks like the slope is flat to install shingles, should apply rolled roofing material!
Sorry, but there are more don'ts then do's in this video, you should remove the video for giving people bad advise.
FAIL. NEVER CAULK BOTTOMS.
Something else wrong with this video. Looks like he's putting a whole new roof on during the winter. Always a bad idea to put a new asphalt roof on when its cold out. Asphalt shingles have a bead of tar along the bottom that needs the sun to heat it up and seal to the shingle below it. Shingling in the winter you're taking a huge chance of getting high winds b4 that tar has a chance to heat up and glue itself down. Nails hardly do anything. That tar is the main thing keeping your shingles down. Without it glued down properly, 1 good windy day you can loose half of your expensive new roof. ALWAYS a better idea to do some sort of patch in the cold season if you have a leak. Then wait until it heats up to atleast the 60°s-70°s b4 doing a new roof. If you live in an area where it never gets warm than you should hire a roofer who's licensed to use a torch.

i warranty my work for 20 years and almost never have problems. i had to do this for a failed inspection so a house could close.
Terrible install
Fail. Never caulk the bottom. And get somebody other than Michael J Fox on the camera if you’re gonna make a video…
yea put caulking on bottom so any moisture can build up...straight abortion video..
