Md Roofing Services: Pipe Collar Repair on Roof in Bowie, MD

1. First, the existing shingles being removed are cut just above the "keyways" with a hook blade knife, then the roofing nails are carefully removed so as not to tear the shingles.

2. Next, the nails on the leaking plastic pipe collar are removed with a pry bar -- then the collar itself is removed.

3. After cleaning the surface and installing two new base shingles, the new collar is placed over the PVC pipe and secured with 1-1/4" roofing nails.

4. A sealing bead of Geocel Tripolymer Sealant is placed in a circular ark around the collar as an added barrier to water and wind driven rain.

5. New Certainteed XT25 shingles are properly cut and nailed into place.

6. Shingle tabs are sealed with Geocel to prevent leaks and "blow offs".

Note: The replacement shingles installed by http://www.HomeRestorationsMD.com look slightly "off color" due to the packing material used in the manufacturing process; one light rain and the shingles will match the old ones almost perfectly.

That's right, the keyways are the "slits" ... they're one foot apart and five inches high on a regular "3 tab" shingle like these Certainteed XT25s.

Thanks!

Give a man a fish, he eats for a day ~ Teach a man to fish, he'll sit in the boat and drink all day..Teach a man to to roof, he'll sit in the shade and laugh at you for sweating your ass off all day ~ At least you'll get paid and can drink all night... Roofing Sucks!

@rawzone1 Sorry, can't agree ... lol. But thanks for the entertainment.

Why not just use a 3n1 weather collar instead of disturbing the roof shingles? I would have made you repair the vent flange right instead of that poor excuse of a diaper that you used. I am not perfect by far, But I see a complete issue with over use of geocel and repairs made around the flange. Tip read your manufacturers pro field guide?????

[MdRoofingServices]

@jvhamby5 Thanks for writing, I'll give you three reasons:

1. Many of the flanges are plastic and they all need replacement.

2. The interface between the 3 in 1 requires caulking in the critical sealing area to make it work ... not good!

3. After a while, the shingles loosen up, or the flanges rub holes in the shingles (due to their different expansion rates), and then "wind driven rain" can enter and cause problems/damage.

Most roofers get it wrong too -- you're not the only one.

@jvhamby5 I've always felt that the 3 in 1 "solution" is just a shortcut that lazy roofers use cause they don't feel like doing the job right!

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ABOUT MY VIDEO. I DON'T EVEN LIKE IT!!! IT DOES NOT DO THE INDUSTRY ANY JUSTICE AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED. IT WAS JUST AN EXPERIMENT AND GOOGLE REMOVED MY BACKGROUND MUSIC THAT WAS SOOTHING FOR ??

WHILE THE INFORMATION IS LEGITIMATE, I AM NOT HAPPY THEREFORE I DO NOT PROMOTE.

I AM NO BULLY EITHER. I JUST SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT WHEN I SEE IT NEEDS TO BE. OBVIOUSLY YOU NEED TO RETHINK YOUR POSITION AND CONSIDER I AM AN EXPERT IN MY FIELD.

[BreakfastBentoBox]

@jvhamby5 Well well. U R an internet bully now, arent you? Ohhhh, I am so scared. BTW, to make a video, u dont just type words on a paper from a so called published article, and record screen shots of the pages for people to read 5 minutes of junk. A little constructive criticism: YOU Stop making "videos", they suck! If u remember how this conversation began, u picked on me for complimenting a good really good DIY video. Compared to your video, MDRoofingServices is Oscar WINNING material!!

ONE MORE THING USE A HEAVY DUTY LADDER BLACK TIP A MINIMUM! USE STAGING IF YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN! DON'T FORGET NOT TO SET YOUR LADDER UP NEAR ELECTRIC LINES. DID YOU KNOW THAT ELECTRICITY CAN ARK UP TO 10 FEET AND GROUND AGAINST YOUR LADDER. A GOOD NEW LADDER IF YOU HAVE 2 FLOORS WILL BE AROUND $450.00. I EXPECT YOU HAVE ENOUGH MOONEY TO BUY ALL OF THIS EQUIPMENT SINCE A PIPE BOOT A SHINGLES ARE SO CHEAP TO BUY. OVERATED CONTRACTORS INVEST IN THESE THINGS.

@jvhamby5

GOOD LUCK AND WALK HEAVY NOT LIGHT. BTW MAKE SURE YOU USE A FOAM CUSHION AND GO GET SOME COUGAR PAWS FOR YOUR FEET. ALSO A CHEAP FALL KIT IS AROUND $400.00. YOU STILL HAVE TO ANCHOR TO SOMETHING SOLID. HMMMM I WONDER WHAT??? HVAC VENT MAYBE OR A PIPE ??? I AM SO GLAD YOU CAN DO MY JOB ON YOUR HOME AND GUESS WHAT. I HAVE MEN I CAN TRUST WITH MY LIFE THAT KNOW THE JOB AND DANGERS THAT ARE INVOLVED. THOSE WHO CAN DO AND THOSE WHO CANNOT CRITICIZE!

@BreakfastBentoBox

DID YOU KNOW MOST INJURIES AND DEATHS OCCUR TO HOMEOWNERS TRYING TO CLEAN GUTTERS AND FIX THEIR OWN ROOF?

I NEVER HAD A DEATH IN MY COMPANY ONLY A 500 Character limit. I HAVE SAW TERRIBLE ACCIDENTS EVEN FROM THE EXPERT HOMEOWNER WHO TETHERED THEM SELF TO THE ROOF AND HAD TO HAVE EMERGENCY RESCUE GET THEM DOWN AND GO TO THE HOSPITAL AND EVEN TO THE MORGUE! HAPPY CLIMBING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@BreakfastBentoBox

The difference between you and me is that I will not use profanity and disrespect everyone on here. Only collective criticism. I have one fall and lawsuit because my sub crew failed to use my safety equipment. I WON!Furthermore I have NEVER BEEN SUED FOR A BAD JOB!! I STAY BUSY FOR 1 REASON. HONESTY AND INTEGRITY! I HOPE YOU ARE EMPLOYED BECAUSE I AM NOT CONSIDERED IN THE DIGITS OF THE UNEMPLOYED BECAUSE I AM A BUSINESS OWNER! SUCCESS IS NOT AN OPTION FOR ME!

[BreakfastBentoBox]

@jvhamby5 All roofs have slopes, even "flat" ones! That is why you tether yourself with an anchor system for safety. Why would anyone pay some over rated professional to do this type of work? it is not rocket science. Any monkey with a hammer can replace shingles and seal a leak. L&I has nothing to do with DIY homeowners, fuctard. Your rates went up because you are a high risk idiot & your company is ignorant. Sounds like you are in the wrong line of work.
