I'm a disabled veteran. A lot of my pals suffer from PTSD. While they qualify for mental health help, a lot of people don't. All you guys and gals out there who think you're too tough or too embarrassed to discuss mental health, remember it works for construction workers and military professionals too. It's just another form of healthcare. Hats Off to StudPack for choosing this sponsor.

Yeah, I really like that BetterHelp has been sponsoring a variety of channels on KZread. Mental health is an ongoing crisis. And talking about it and making it part of normal discourse helps remove the stigma. It's an insane clown world and people need resources to know how to change it. Understanding basic human psychology actually equips a person to actually live, rather than than just be. Too much media and corrupted institutions have driven everybody insane. The only solution is to fix ourselves so the systems become obsolete. :) God Bless America. Thank you for your service. 🦅

Guys, of all the dozens of vour videos I've watched on my smart TV, this one had me in tears! and I just had to break out my laptop and post this comment. Not only is the roof really, really beautiful, but the filming itself and the editing are both just beyond great - wow factor work. Congratulations! I'm probably not the only 76 year-old widow lady who is an avid fan, but even so it might seem a little strange fare for an old lady's favorite relaxing entertainment. What could be better than watching men work? Nah, it's not that (well, maybe a little) - my father was a master cabinet maker, and all around Mr. Fixit in our home. And I always found something to make out of his scraps. Oh the smell of fresh sawn wood! In his early days he was a part-time lumberjack along the Oregon Coast, and we would go with him camping out in the woods. My Mom accidently walked out of the second story window of an old barn we found to camp in once, thinking she was on her way to the outhouse - she wasn't hurt, thank God. KZread is my favorite go-to for relaxation, and if I see a new video from you it's the first thing I watch. I admit I have to pray for you all often, and thank God He has kept you fairly safe so far. Please keep up the good "safety first" work ethic. Praying before you begin a day's work is the best way to start your day. It's going to take some real ingenuity and creativity to keep up the excitement when you build the house compared to this monster garage/apartment. Makes me so tired just remembering all that stinking mud! And because I live here in Hawaii on the Big Island, I was thrilled to watch your bathroom remodel on Kauai. Personally I am certain I could never live through any sort of remodel - the details, the roadblocks, the material limitations, not to mention the permits, the inspectors, the cost and the mess would send me to my grave. And I don't think I could ever be so lucky as to find anyone with a more dedicated eye to proper detail than you. Just wanted to finally give you a proper thank you and to let you know that a little old lady out in rural Hawaii is praying for your health and safety and success. God bless you all and all your families. Hope we get to see some of the festivities at the housewarming and perhaps house blessings parties you'll be having.

The craziest roofing job I've seen done was when I remodeled a mansion in Maine. I hired a local company and 10 guys showed up at 7am with a 24' enclosed utility trailer with exterior boxes where they all pulled out a box with a belt, hose, bar, and nailer. They also had a dump trailer and two Equipter 4000 roofing trailers. The roofing dump trailers are unhooked and remote controlled around the house with scissor lifts that lift the dump body to roof level so they could strip the roof right into the trailers without any shingles hitting the ground. 4 more guys showed up around 11 just to lay shingles. These guys stripped and laid 30 sq in 6 hours and were on their way to do 40 sq of metal before they went home. I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it. That black drip edge is such a great way to add detail for next to no money. Been pushing it for 5+ years now. Those shingles look really nice too. They must have been in heaven with no hips, valleys, skylights, ridge vents, and a single roof penetration lol. Looking forward to the next one!

Wow, I would be really careful about this choice. Asphalt shingles (AS) have been refined over decades in the worst conditions to the point that manufacturers are offering a lifetime shingle warranty for residential applications. It is true that hail can damage asphalt shingles (AS), but it takes a major hail storm. I am a licensed General Contractor in Arizona 40 years ago, AS roofs would wear out in just 10 years, and a lot of Arizonans stopped purchasing them. To their credit, AS manufacturers improved their products and started providing warranties to back their shingle roofs. At first, these warranties weren't very good, but they have improved tremendously. Arizona just had over 30 days in a row with temperatures over 110 degrees - the heat is brutal. Today, you can buy AS roofs with a legitimate lifetime warranty. There are a lot of features I like about these shingles. They don't have surface grit; they are thick, which means that they should last a long time. I like that they bond to the roof and to each other strongly, really well. In many ways, they appear to be superior to AS. But the HUGE question is, will they last? Overall, I think it is a good decision to try this roof, provided it is not overly expensive. It looks like a good product. Hopefully they have fully tested it in hot climates.

Absolutely beautiful roof! The big question is something you didn't cover...COST!

Trust me, you want to add a backing board for the TV. You don't want to limit your options on mounts. I work in home theater installation and have ran into way too many brand new homes that we ended up having to mount to a center stud and toggle the edges. Just do it and save the hassle. Now, don't forget to add two brush plates/boxes with a larger conduit to pass your HDMI cables from your tv down to whatever entertainment center you choose. This will really give a minimal look and also once again save tons of headaches. You don't want cables hanging everywhere and running cables through insulation is no fun. I would be glad to answer any questions on the AV side [Speakers, Wiring, ECT]. Sonos has some great simple whole home audio products that would really make this space pop. P.S. I would lower the TV box down around a foot or two. You want your livingroom tv to be centered at eye level. On the other hand this can conflict with furniture, so you have may have to mount it higher than what is considered "ideal". At the end of the day its your space so don't get discouraged by the "TV TOO HIGH" crowd.

Naw, your logic in letting a roofer to do the job so you can get a solid warranty makes perfect logical sense. Also 6 pro roofers work faster than 3 pro builders.

Great to see a contractor take safety seriously. Looks great I hope I don't need a new roof (mine is 1 year old) but if we do, I think the shingles you got is worth the money.

The shingles look great and I do love the aspects of them. The rake edge at the peak has a gap in the metal at the ridge @ 11:10 & the front overhang has a pronounced wave in the shingles @ 13:49. A 2nd overhang wave is @ 19:44. The first item I pointed out is on the roofers, but the second two are on yall for adding the overhangs later. Extending roof sheathing then adding overhang ladders would eliminate this, but the strongest overhang is a drop truss at each gable, and extending the ladders into the roof to the next truss. Not even corbels will solve this wave now. I have exposed beaded stock overhangs of 20" with a 5/4" x 10" rake facia and the beaded stock is 51" and goes back to the center of the 3rd rafter 16" OC. My corbels are 4"x4". All exterior is 100% cedar.

Amazing looking roof and I like how the shadow of the tree is projected perfectly into the corner at 23:25. The roofing contractor was outstanding and really knew his stuff and the workers did an awesome job!

I'm glad you remembered about the vent pipe before the roof was put on. The roofers at our house actually covered over some stuff that wasn't supposed to be covered over because they forgot to cut out for it (or just didn't care). It was metal roof so hard to do anything about it now. I'm also glad to see an ad for help for mental health. So many people neglect mental health. I wish something like that had been available when I was younger and struggling with depression. Its great that Kelly was willing to talk on camera about the process, the product, etc. Makes it more interesting and educational at the same time. He's a good spokesperson for the company. I'm not a fan of shingles, but the synthetic ones seem pretty cool. Much better than the asphalt ones. The pivot boot thing is neat too. I'll have to remember that one for the future. The ladder lift thing is something that might be a good investment for the future. Something you can use on other projects-- as well as the house. Hey, one of the neighbors has a swimming pool! Does Jordan plan to add one too? LOL.

Regarding DIY vs. hiring contractors. A lot of us found your channel showing us how to do small remodel jobs. Often, trying to hire someone to do those is cost-prohibitive: the base just to get someone to the door is more than it's worth. Once the job gets to be a certain size, or has hard time constraints, it can become cost-effective to hire it out. I think y'all are learning that lesson as you transition from DIY-scale remodels to full on building projects. Hopefully, we'll still get the occasional small-project to help us DIYers learn the right way! (Also, I bet you never hire anyone else to do tiling, your standards are so high and you can do it better than most other pros :) )

Yeah i do like the toughness of these they showed - esp the hail resistance. I lost my roof in a big hail storm not long ago (hi from Brisbane Australia) and this was big concrete tiles. Metal sheeting all up our street as well was obliterated. I like the idea of something that doesn't just shatter to bits and hail ends up punching holes into your living room.... or dent metal completely when the very rare and scary big one inevitably comes.

I think it looks great, where would the rain water go on a windy day when it’s hitting against the T on the rakes? …usually shingles are overhung for that purpose. I’m sure this was tested, but just not explained more in depth.

Your work is truly impressive. Here in Australia building is so very different to what is seemingly the norm in the US. To us, a lot of what is done there would be considered overkill but for most of us, the climate is nowhere near as severe as it is there which obviously affects the way things are done. In our main cities it never snows and we certainly don't get the extreme hot weather that you seemed to get every day in the summer. We would regard 16'' centres for your framing as excessive and we have never heard of Zip sheeting to make buildings airtight. In fact, until not so long ago our regulations required all habital rooms to be provided with permanent fixed ventilation. Your electrical requirements are quite different also. Almost all housing is constructed with masonry (brick) cladding and timber cladding isn't used a great deal other than for spandrills and the like. I love your shingle roof but that's another thing we don't see here. Maybe concrete shingle tiles but that's hardly the same thing. Slate is used in tiny quantities but its cost rules it out for all but the most expensive builds. Having said that, I really like the way you do things over there and I'm more than a touch jealous of some of the materials you have available to you.

been watching for a few years now . love to see the growth and how you get to build your own homes now .

One other question not answered, but I suspect I am not the only one who has it. It looks as though installation costs are probably about the same as for asphalt. But what is the delta, if any in the material cost? The shingles look very similar to the Timberline I have on my house, and those are not inexpensive shingles, but at some point they will need to be replaced. Are the synthetics price competitive (material, I get that labor is labor). Thanks, and I always enjoy a new Stud Pack video.

That T drip edge on the rakes really worries me. Rain will get blown against the T and flow under the shingles there, and get pulled out into the field, potentially finding places through your roof near nails or other penetrations. Typically the shingles are cut to overhang the drip edge by 1/4" or so, so there is not guaranteed spot where water will get under the shingles. If that T profile had a fold or ridge an inch or two in from the T part, to ensure that there is airspace under the shingle so the water runs down instead of horizontally, it might work ok. And I suppose if the shingles are designed to allow water to flow freely under the shingle it might be ok.

I wondered about this too. Typically you would step flash against an edge like the T so maybe they caulked the seam where the shingle meets the T flashing?

@@Jonnyeet I suspect that there is space under the shingles to provide a capillary break and the water would just run down without leaving the drip edge. I would still feel better if there were a moulded ridge to provide a water channel.

Love that roofing material. Also nice to see you guys are closing in on 600K subs

What a beautiful roof! I am so jealous over the whole garage. Your background music is epic. Love it. I like the endings where you incorporate the subject of the video into liking and subscribe to the videos. Keep that going it's fun to see how that is going to be incorporated.

How would the roof handle in Minnesota? The Cold here is why I ask...

I am guessing Kelly & his team appreciated the scaffolding? Best investment on this build. Who’d have thought!

I absolutely enjoy watching this channel and others like it. It’s the modern day equivalent to This Old House. Thanks to the StudPack Team!

I put a little 'compression' bend or 'overbend' the roof boot so it sits really flat or flush to the shingle. It wouldn't hurt to put a dribble of ext caulk under the bottom edge of the boot so it adheres nice & sits flat as well.

I never knew such a product existed. Great looking roof, awesome video! This is the only channel out of about 200 subscriptions that I have notifications turned on for. That says a lot about this channel! You guys are awesome.

How well will the solar panels work on it?

Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦. Man oh man the roof turned out amazing. It looks absolutely incredible. The roofers know their stuff man. Can't wait for the next video. Take care Stud Pack crew

Looks amazing I'm sure it looks better in person we don't have shingle roofs in the UK unless it's a garden outhouse or shed

I am impressed that the roofer was walking on your 8/12 roof.

Is there some sort of screen cap that goes over that roof vent to keep critters out?

What is the pricing compared to asphalt shingles?

@peteyou2325

Wave shingles are a relatively new product, so I suspect their probably double the price of asphalt shingles. They "should" come down in price if they become more popular. I wonder if Wave has a patent on these shingles?

That drone footage is awesome you could even see that at 23;49 as the drone was flying over the ridge the last courses of shingles underneath the capping were not the same size.

Wow! I really enjoy your videos. I know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about construction, but I’m sure I’ll pick up some tips & tricks from you guys along the way. I have not missed any videos since this project began. In the foreseeable future, I too plan to build, and watching these videos will come in handy when the time comes. I look forward to more of your content. Thank, and Bless you all

That was great to watch. I like seeing competent professionals who do a job and make it look effortless and at the end it’s a piece of art. Awesome job finding these folks and the product. I live in Los Angeles ca and it’s almost time for a new roof for me and I think I might look to see if this product is offered in our area no like the composite aspect and how it seals to each other.

You gents never cease to amaze!! Absolutely gorgeous!! My only issue is the next episode isn’t already up… 😢

At $20 a square foot, that is about three times the price of a traditional shingle roof!

what are the price comparisons between these shingles and regular shingles?

For my relatively small house these were about $10k more. Had to go with regular old asphalt.

Beautiful guys. One thing we lack over in the UK is space so having large homes for the masses is a no go. Can't wait to see your finished home!

Always love when I get a notification for a new Stud Pack video, thank guys!

Is it just me or when they installed the drip edge at the peak there was no overlap? Which leaves a seam/gap at the very peak? Great video tho!! I love the new roof tech and you really found an installer that goes above and beyond!! timestamp 11:11 I know very little about roofs so I could be missing something.. nm ridge cap shingles. It was at the end :-) I have seen installers overlap the drip edge at the peak.

Duuuuuuuudes!! You didn’t have to penetrate the roof for that vent: you could’ve gone out the side with a very nice solar powered positive venting upon-demand vent cap. @17:03? You don’t want screws in the bottom part of that flashing because that’s a roofing penetration that’s going to leak. They could’ve done a better job shingling that pivot boat in to the shingle lines. Shingles “cover” nails for a reason.

I've roofed several houses, helping my dad. Even roofed for work for a summer. I can only imagine how much this cost you guys. Used to do roofs bigger than that in a day with just my dad and I. And you have 8 guys counting the foreman and safety guy getting paid. Anyways it looks super nice. And I imagine the clean up as super easy.

I showed my dad the video (he roofed for over 40 years) and he said it looks great but that lip on the rake is going to force the water underneath the shingle and the nail holes are going to loosen up over time and leak there. If the lip is absolutely necessary sealing those nail holes is necessary.

That was a great video. We had the roof on our house done last year. I wish we would have known about these shingles. We used brown architectural shingles. 4 guys and it was 2 days and 22k dollars.

Ooh, I'd love to see how those shingles work on my home. I've got a "funnel" of a roof that's a nightmare for regular shingles due to the uplift created by the wind, especially not what they're older. Rips asphalt shingles right off. I'll have to look around to see if anyone's selling those shingles locally.

The roof was more interesting than your therapy commercial. Please don't do that again....

Guys Great video guys, learned something new today. The new style of shingles, great idea & great looking for sure. Also they did a great job installing them. I would agree with you Paul would be there a week doing DIY. Keep up the great videos guys.

Great looking product! Very cool of the builders to add a goPro to their caps. Another great video

Paul, love the videos, and your dedication to doing the job right the first…..a trait sorely missing in the building/remodeling business.. you may have already answered these questions…..absolutely love the roof; 1) what kind of durability can be expected from these shingles ie expected life span (warranty) 2) what about colorfastness ie will they maintain the same appearance throughout their life, or will they fade out; and is appearance warranted……3) obviously on everyone’s mind….cost, as compared to other alternatives….you guys are awesome, look forward each week to your videos!!!!

Fantastic shingle, wish I had it a couple of years ago when we had to put on a new roof due to hail storm.

Excellent work done by expert craftsmen is ALWAYS EXCITING! And the final shot was Oscar worthy!

It's always a good day when I get home from work, and there's a stud pack video waiting on me to watch👍. Love the content guys, keep it coming.

Amazing work, props to these guys for such a job!
