So here we are after we've cleaned the Cedar Shake roof and we cleaned it with low pressure. So very nice job. A little bit of the existing stain was cleaned off and you can see here this is like where the old mold and mill used to be but we've still got a lot of the old existing roof stain on the roof so that's the benefit of not using high pressure on a Cedar Shake roof. So what we're going to do is we're going to do some spot repair on the roof and we're going to show you how we do that and we go about preserving and restoring your Cedar Shake roof. By the folks today we're going to teach you how to remove a Cedar Shake from a roof and install a new one. So what we want to do first of all is just pry the shake up like that off the nails and to remove it there's another row of nails up here. Now if it's a very stubborn shake we can go up under here and remove these two sets and nails but it's better just to give it up, lots of little taps like that, pull on it and you'll find that shake will come right on out. I call that my woodpecker method just and you'll vibrate that shake and what will happen is you'll pull it. You can see here you can see the nails right here how if we've dragged that wood shake right through those nails and of course you just want to let those old nails in there and go and install a new shake here. Now there's a row of top paper up here and it's very important that when we put the shake in and we slide it in, when we get it up to that top paper that we lift it up a little bit and then we just tap it in. That way it's going to go under that layer of top paper but we don't want it hitting the top paper and ripping the top paper up. You've got to slide neatly under that top paper. And you can feel it's going into that upper row level of nails. It's wedging into those nails about that far so we want to leave the shake a little bit short and get some number 7D galvanized nails. We need two nails, one on each side and then we want to tap, don't put the nails in all the way just almost there and then we want to tap that shake up the rest of the way. And looks like we've got another one here so we'll do it again, pop the shake up, give it the pull that out, that wasn't in very tight and again we'll get a nice shake and shake looks a little big so we're going to split that shake. So it's bit under the row of nails, tap it in, two nails, almost in and just see that nail here. Just see that nail right there because the nails are going to pull as we tap this into place. Nice and tight shake there. So this is Chris from Southern Exterior and we do all you see the shake work in South Florida, 5.61502, 7663. And as you can see we've just gone around and we've pulled out our worst shakes first. So we're going to pass around the roof and pull out the worst ones and then what we're going to do is put in our new wood shakes and then we're going to see how many left we have in our bundles. I believe we've estimated this just about right. So you can see on the front side of the roof we have more shakes out and I do the roof in two passes. First of all I get out the really bad ones, put the wood in and then go back around and get the not so bad ones. And that way you're going to find that you spread the wood evenly over the roof and it's very important to remove the shakes correctly and this is why you want to hire a very experienced person with C to shake because if you're breaking one or two shakes while trying to get out the other shakes you're immediately double the material. And if you're breaking two or three well you're at two or three times the material and the homeowner is going to have to pay for that or you're just not going to get a very good job. So get a qualified shake guy who's been doing it a long time. There's a lot of little tricky techniques in how to get these shakes out the way you remove the nails and it takes a lot of skill and we've been doing shake roost for a lot of 22 years. Anyway what you'll find with an experienced shake person is they'll be pulling the worst ones out and not damaging all the other shakes around that one that they're trying to remove. So it's going to give you a lot better job and they should be able to point out any leaks and problem areas and things with that nature along the way. And another problem area we do see with C to shake is in between the joints we get like this visible holes in the joints and the roof's been on space sheeting the other side of the top of the top is straight in the attic. So we needed to take care of that shake right there.
