My fee and expenses: $17000 Cost of materials: $120,000 Cost of labor: $40,000 The result is a roof that will last 40 years and beyond 0:00 Introduction 2:14 Meeting the Crew Chief 3:25 Water dripping inside the building 3:51 Inspecting roof surface 4:44 Meeting the rest of the crew 5:36 Meeting the owner 6:43 Briefing the crew on Roofing 7:53 Removing junk of the roof 8:12 Laying down Fiber base paper 8:40 Laying down Self Stick base 10:46 Installing Drip-edge 11:38 Installing Cap Sheet 12:04 Teaching how to use a Torch 17:14 Attaching membrane to drip-edge
