Any relation to the late Bob Feller, roofer of long ago of Coral Ridge, KY?
I’m something like the 8th cousin several times removed from Bob Feller the baseball player. Probably similar to Bob Feller the roofer!!!! ? I have an Uncle Bob Feller the mechanical engineer of Peoria, IL.
Nice job, as I have one of these to do soon. I was looking at the Teks roofing screws, with the sealing washer.
Those are actually much better than nails. Just check the washers in about 10 years. They will eventually dry rot.
EXELENT
Thank you!
Thank you! Excellent video. I learned a lot and I’m looking forward to stopping the indoor rainfall during storms.
Good luck! You can definitely do this!
Great video. Thanks! One question- no sealant around the collar or where the metal flashing contacts with the tar paper?
None around the collar, no. It just makes a mess and UV light breaks it down pretty quickly anyway (in Texas in about 3 years). You could seal the flashing to the deck underneath (like a sandwich). Some people do that instead of nailing it down. You just have to be careful with sealant and placing it – if water does get under the shingle it can act as a dam and not let the water escape so it can backfire.
Excellent video. Thank you. No BS, straight up facts and how-to.
I’d have used roof cement to reseal shingles, especially the butt joints of the shingle that you replaced.

I don’t like roof cement. It makes a mess and it’s very difficult to remove later. But you do you!
This is simple, instructional and fun to watch. Thanks for sharing!
Ami Feller lol
Thank you!
And 3 tabs even lol
No I’m taking about the one going over the top . The one before the half round cut, the one under out should have been cut the same.
you just made it look so easy-great educational video -thanks!
Thank you!
I love how she did this with a Diamond Bracelet on .
nice catch 🙂
Elijah Arrington III my daddy used to buy me one every Christmas. I am certain the diamonds are not real, however I love them very much. You have a great eye for detail. ?
Thank u. I’m going to send my mom this video hopefully she put in a new roof boot on my house
SHE’S 87…..OKAY
You can do it ?
Great job and video! At my age I thought a review before I to it is a good idea and there’s always New materials. I like the clear roof adhesive!
Is it Nessasary to Seal the boot at the pipe if there both New ??
It is not necessary, no. Thanks for the positive feedback. ?
There is another easy way to make pipe boot cut,specially with 3-tab..but yeah you are good.

Thanks for all your tips. I gotta do this soon.
Awesome roofing!
Thank you!
You forgot to seal up the old holes and forgot to add mastic under flashing for extra protection for repair
richie rich You could do it that way too if you wanted to – mastic doesn’t last for forever, it breaks down over time – but it’s all preference.
Question why nail through the vent? Why not mastic underneath the vent with some nice strong mastic?
Armando Gutierrez I’ve never done that and never had an issue, but it’s not a bad idea!
Nice work. Really handy knife too, who would have thought.
Thank you. I love hook blades!
