The phrase "roofing fail" conjures up images of mishaps, missteps, and the aftermath of poorly executed DIY projects. Today we’re taking a deeper look into a video of what a roofer witnessed atop a home that fell victim to an all-too-common DIY roofing mistake.

Below our team reacts to a shocking roofing fail and provides their expert commentary on where things went wrong in episode 2 of Roofers React!

Here are some of the video highlights that left our jaws on the floor:

HOUSE SHIFTING OR SHINGLES SLIDING?

We've seen our fair share of mistakes, but watching shingles slide because they're not even nailed to the deck was an eye-opener. Did you know your roof can turn into a moving blanket?

NAILING NIGHTMARE

Nailing is a fundamental aspect of roofing. Yet, this roofer shows nails positioned so high that they miss the very next shingle. Although this seems like a small mistake worth overlooking, this could mean the difference between a durable roofing versus one that could turn into a roof leak nightmare.

THE ADVANTAGE OF DURATION SHINGLES

This blunder reminds us why we swear by Owens Corning Duration shingles. Their nail strip is broader and reinforced with fiberglass, reducing room for error and enhancing the roof's longevity. And we think it might also help with avoiding roofing fails like this.
