Re: why would u leave your roof open


I see gtp1003 is bringing his antics over from roofing.com. At least he isn't spamming over here like he does over there.

Re: why would u leave your roof open


We usually tear aff what we can get put back on in any given day. However, there are times when we do tear off more than we will be able to get back on, but we have also have been using Titanium UDL-25 PLUS synthetic underlayment instead of 30lb felt and have had opened roofs for 3 straight days of rain with no problems.

gtp1003 and tinner666, I bow to your super, bad-ass crew that could of torn off, based, batted, loaded and laid this 85 sq, 8/12, cut up tile job in 1 DAY!! My company doesn't load their own roofs, but I have 5 of best tile roofers in the industry and could only average 4 sqs. per man, per day of finished product. And that was gunning on the batts AND tile. I would really like to see this done! Because I don't think it can it can be! Wait one minute, I take that back... If you were pulling up to the house to start work and these two guys ran out, one tall and slinder, the other real short. Both dressed in super white suits and the shorter one yells, " Zee truck, boss. Zee truck." THEN and only then could this be possible. Because you are roofing on FANTASY ISLAND!!

One more question... Exactly how many men are on this super crew of yours? Because to tear off, load and lay 110 sqs in 1 day is amazing!! Let's take a look at those numbers...we'll start with an avg.day of 8 hours. That works out to be 13.75 sqs an hr. with 5 guys on your crew that works out to 2.75 sqs per man per hr. Just laying shingles, believable. Include loading, maybe. Including tear off,.
So let this be a lesson, gtp1003, don't post an arguement, on a site threaded by pros, looked at by pros, talked about by pros and designed for pros, when your thread is...well,... hard to believe.
