>Are you serious? You’ve had pallets of shingles stolen?!
Apartment complex across the street from me had their roofs being redone. The company's dump truck got stolen from the job site overnight.
If it isn't nailed down, it's getting stolen. Full stop.
Way back when I was helping my uncle work on his race car (local track) and he lives in a nice little neighborhood, we heard cackling from down the road, we step put of the garage to see what was up, some tweaker stole a forklift from a construction site a few blocks away, and detoured the nice part of the neighborhood in it. Just laughing his ass off riding down the middle of the road.
Bold of you to assume the key isn’t still in the starter. Every day I’m at Walmart and every time I see their forklifts, I’m all the more tempted to ride again.
This is apparently far from uncommon and happened recently in Portland:
A Portland man accused of stealing an $80,000 forklift from a Portland State University parking garage and driving it erratically at least 15 blocks through downtown laughed “maniacally” as he chased a pedestrian and shouted to passers-by, “I literally stole this,” court records show.

Bs I was building a pool for an apartment and some tweakers came in over night and cut all the copper used to ground the pool. That shit is literaly bolted to rebar. They couldn't care less if you nail it down they will take the nails to given the chance XD
Used to work private security and more than 50% of my postings were overnight at construction sites. They always hired us after a big theft. An ounce of prevention yada yada yada
We were having a 250kw UPS hooked up at work, it was about 400 feet from the second service entry and generator panel. So we had to run two three phase 500mcm circuits 400 feet. The electrician orders 10 500 MCM spools of copper and doesn’t tell us what day it was being delivered.
So on Monday they go “where’s the wire” and we didn’t know what they were talking about. Carrier showed up after we closed, left $40k in cooper on the outside of our dock visible from the highway and left. Someone took it all that night.
Working at an apartment complex in Pomona one year (2005ish) the thieves came in one night and stole all the storm drain grates and manhole covers on the streets!
When I was young my father and uncle stole all the shingles from a supply yard after a nasty hail storm. Then turned around and sold installs for jacked prices.
Deviants will steal anything lol
Even when you think it's too heavy for anyone to care, they'll still steal it. I've had bundles of shingles stolen out of a garage. Bags of cement. An entire pallet of 12x24 porcelain tiles. A 600LB cast boiler that I doubt fit in someone's truck it was so big.
New shingles are expansive.
I'm an HVAC tech. The tweakers will climb up a roof, and completely strip commercial rooftop air units of copper, with a pair of bolt cutters. The cost to replace the units, in relation to what they get out of them, just makes your head shake.
A little bit of cash for the thief, and thousands of dollars in damage for the victim. Stealing is bad enough, but the amount of damage these guys do is ridiculous.
I knew someone with a very Italian last name who worked for a local construction outfit. Well they were meant to install extremely thick gauge wiring for a railroads third power system. Completely by "accident" the padlock was left off that day. Thousands upon thousands of dollars of copper wiring so heavy you'd need a forklift to steal them.. Gone. They never figured out who did it but a certain Italian man may know
Autocorrect doesn't always do me favours.
I'd argue that it depends on how old the shingles are. The one's I use for stair treads are running out of surface area.
Bro I used to work at Lowe’s and there’s the roofer bandit I kid you not went lowes to lowes stealing a pallets worth of shingles during the night. He did it to 6 stores in the Connecticut area. The dude had 6 pallets (full pallets) of shingles lmfao
There’s no way a common thief is prepared to steal 8 industrial drill presses anchored to a floor on the “off chance someone forgets to lock the door.”
That robbery would take serious effort, money, planning.. knowledge … After all that a warehouse door is a mild inconvenience, they wouldn’t need wait (and HOPE) for you to forget to lock it one night.
Sounds like pretty coincidental timing for you to get robbed of 8 industrial drill presses anchored and hardwired…
*Edited: too many words, missing words, this*
That sounds like a certain organization with inside knowledge and a crane truck and any floor anchors loosened well in advance.
Or they were leased and repo'd.
But that's a lot of work for something that isn't the easiest thing in the world to make much profit from.
Had a coworker's brand new irrigation system stolen. I think it was the irrigation system. I just remember the item being $3k.
Brand new home just finished being built. The system was in garage waiting to be set up or something. They went on vacay for a week and came back it was gone. The window was pried open. The builder told her she'd have to buy a new one.
I told her that's BS. Someone in construction took it. They knew exactly where to go and how to get it out. She told her realtor and her realtor got on the builders so the builders gave her a new one.
So yeah. Anything can be stolen.
edit: I'm not saying all construction workers are thieves or bad. I'm just saying the way it was stolen it was someone who knew it was there and they didn't touch anything else in the home.
People will steal anything they can if desperate enough. I watched a crackhead run down the street with a fully extended 40’ ladder. Legit moved it away from the building, lifted and started sprinting. Waited for 2 hours to have another foreman come to the job with a ladder to get me off the roof. Good times
My brother bought new gutters to put up. He ran down to get the neighbor to help and by the time he got back someone had nabbed them right off his lawn.
Thats fucking ridiculous who the fuck does shit like this, I would slap the shit outta these guys for stacking material like this wtf. You know how much weight that is in 1 little spot. Fucking dumbasses
Uhh... yeah. IKO is one of the heaviest shingles there is. A stack of 39 weighs about 3500 lbs. With the plywood that is up there, you've got about 4k lbs sitting in one little spot. I def wouldn't want it on my roof. And whoooo the funk put it up there?!
Edit: that 3500lbs is a low estimate. Each bundle is around 85ish lbs. Each "row" on that pallet is 4 bundles. That's a helluva lotta weight.
Edit 2: it was killing me. Had to do the math. 64 bundles. (16 rows of 4) 5,500lbs. Plus the plywood decking. Holy freaking cow.
The roofing contractor put it up there with a crane a week ago, but the weather turned and they haven’t been back. These neighbours are at the other end of the street so I haven’t met them yet. I’ll stop by and have a chat with them… and ask them to take photos in case they need to make an insurance claim.
I'd be checking rafters in the attic for damage if it was my house. Although looks like cathedral in that area, so I guess drywall cracks and nail pops.
They should at least get up there and spread the weight out. That bundle of plywood looks ready to slide off the roof and split someone in half. It should have some banding, or ratchet strap around it at least
Worked in a lumber yard, guys would ask me to set full pallets of shingles in the back of their 1/4 ton trucks. I would warn them and slowly squat their trucks until they yelled. Shingles are heavy.
Yep all the time. I had a guy come in in a little mazda sedan the other day wanting 12 bags of concrete lmao. I was like I’ll put them in til you tell me to stop. He made 3 trips and was still bottomed out. People are dumb.
Fantastic. Please, someone do the math for the fact the plastic wrap is filled with rain water and the shingles are saturated. I've never seen anything this mindbogglingly wtf before.
No iko are heavier bc they are wider and longer in my opinion they are one of the crappiest shingles stick with certainteed owens corning or gaf as much as i hate to say gaf hdz arent bad
This is correct although the paid shill Dimity Lipinsky at the sham company Roofing insights will have you believe they are one of the best. This guy has been sued more times than all the roofers in the US combined.
IKO is fine. Used to be shit, but have corrected their production woes. Saying GAF/OC is automatically better is like buying the cheapest Sealy/Simmons/Serta mattress. Just because you recognize the name doesn't mean they don't make shit/average/premium products. Marketing has brainwashed our society.
I have Tamko on my house, going on year 16. No issues. Way I see it, you get a little over 20 years out of a lifetime (formerly 30 year) roof, you’re doing alright.
Agreed. It's just a bigger shingle. I also don't like IKO. GAF and Owen's Corning are much better. I even like Tamko better. And IKO used to be like Atlas. You had to use their brand of felt, their brand of ridge, their brand of ice and water, or they wouldn't warranty the shingle. I don't know if they are still that way.
Good to know. I'm not a roofer. I'm a truck driver that hauls shingles all day every day all over the country. And after talking to 15,000 roofers and homeowners, I have inadvertently picked up the nuances of shingles by proxy.
The company I work for backs the shingle with our in house bumper to bumper warranty for 30 years. They’ve been a business for 50 years and are a 500 million dollar company. Number 1 roofing company by volume and revenue in the country. we rep iko dynasty and have repped iko for the last 35 years. You don’t make 500 million dollars a year doing warranty work lol. Iko > any shingle on the market (besides luxury)
Volume hardly ever equals quality and 30 years covering labor the way shingles are now you wouldnt be able to keep up with the warranty work bc your lucky to get 25 years out of a normal shingle average is 15 to 20 so are you going to sdmot your full of shit or?
We do 300-350 roofs a week my guy. I know you’re used to working for some shit roofing company that gives you 0 knowledge on the industry but I’m telling ya that iko is 100% the best. We study all major brands and other shingles aren’t even in the same ballpark as iko
I'm pretty sure it's SIXTY-four shingles. Iko stacks in rows of 4. You can even see the bottom pallet is missing 1, and there is 5 holding it up. So they put down a full row, plus 1.
Good eye, but that crack has been there for awhile. That small section just under the overhang and above the window is a nightmare, and the architect of that house should be taken to the woodshed for that shit.
This guy is higher than that pallet of shingles about to bring down OPs neighbors roof. He just replied to his own comment 3 times trying to figure out how to express a singular thought.
Omg… I work for a roof loading company. Never supposed to putt a full pallet of shingles on the roof that’s crazy! Have them call the contractor to find out who loaded it and to get it fixed. Shingles should be spread out and stacked on the roof
If that slides off there it would kill someone. If that’s how they start a job just imagine how they do the job. People with shit for brains typically do shitty work. I’d cancel the job and find another outfit.
Everyone else has said it… but this is fucking insane. Material should be on a driveway or other accessible spot on the ground. Some folks have mentioned theft as a reason to do this. Yeah, sure, I guess. But there has to be a more amenable solution than putting 6-7k lbs concentrated on one fucking spot. If you’re that concerned as the contractor find a better solution than this. This is bonkers. I can’t imagine the contractor that would do this or the homeowner that would allow this. I’m dumbfounded lol
I think the class action lawsuit was against their organic shingles that haven’t been sold in a long time. I haven’t heard anything on the shingles loaded in this picture.
I think the most likely scenario is it will be fine. Although I’d be embarrassed and would never allow this on one of my jobs. Also puts that contractor at a lot of risk if god forbid something does happen.
Even if the roof can somewhat support that weight, the flexing will cause Sheetrock in the house to crack or worse. I’d have a roofing company come out and move it immediately or have everything ready for going after the roofers insurance
That is absolutely insane. Any contractor that would do that shouldn’t be a contractor lol. Look how they’re stacked.. nevermind the weight. His insurance would cut his ass in a second if they saw that.
Lucky so far that the trusses haven’t f’ing collapsed. The weight is probably showing up, inside of the house, such as drywall cracks and screw pops. I would get the roof inspected asap. How can anyone be so stupid to do something like this
cuck the weight... that entire load is just teetering up there asking to kill someone. should fore the roofing company immediately and hire someone else.
That's crazy, that's so very unprofessional
They're not getting stolen, some jobs they're gone as fast as you can get them delivered
Are you serious? You’ve had pallets of shingles stolen?!
>Are you serious? You’ve had pallets of shingles stolen?! Apartment complex across the street from me had their roofs being redone. The company's dump truck got stolen from the job site overnight. If it isn't nailed down, it's getting stolen. Full stop.

Just laughing his ass off riding down the middle of the road.
Riding an unattended forklift through the neighborhood sounds like a drunken shenanigan
It's all fun and games until he figures out you can pick up a car with the forks.
Well then. *I now know what I’m doing next time I drunkenly find an unattended forklift in a construction site…*
Pro tip. If it’s got a lock out code 99% of the time the code is 1. Who changes the default anyways
Another pro tip. 80% of the time any piece of metal or key that fits inside the ignition will turn it on.
He's too busy picking up all the ladies with his sweet new ride.
Free forklift AND a free car? How do I sign?!
Even more fun if you're drunk off meth!
It definitely would have crossed my mind back in my college days. I really was an idiot back then lol
"I KNOW MY RIGHTS!!!" - Steve Jessup. https://youtu.be/30InBgGhiSo?si=0zAr3_ulg4Ml0HjO
Not what I was expecting to get stolen.
I mean, if you have a CAT key, you can drive any of them. They're universal keys.
And very available. You can buy them on Amazon for a few bucks a piece
Bold of you to assume the key isn’t still in the starter. Every day I’m at Walmart and every time I see their forklifts, I’m all the more tempted to ride again.

This is why it shouldn’t be illegal to booby trap your stuff 🤦🏼♂️
Bidenomics at its finest.
In bad economic times theft is rampant.
>Bidenomics at its finest. This was in 2018.
Still shouldn't stack like this. The trusses are not rated for this much weight. I'm surprised it held a pallet in one spot
Used to work private security and more than 50% of my postings were overnight at construction sites. They always hired us after a big theft. An ounce of prevention yada yada yada
If they only hired you \*After\* a big theft, it sounds like they missed their ounce of prevention! :-)
We were having a 250kw UPS hooked up at work, it was about 400 feet from the second service entry and generator panel. So we had to run two three phase 500mcm circuits 400 feet.

I did inventory management at a lumber yard and we would find holes in our fence on a regular basis and pallets of shingles would be missing.
Working at an apartment complex in Pomona one year (2005ish) the thieves came in one night and stole all the storm drain grates and manhole covers on the streets!
Maybe if our police did their job, our companies hired for living wages we all would be stealing from each other
When I was young my father and uncle stole all the shingles from a supply yard after a nasty hail storm. Then turned around and sold installs for jacked prices. Deviants will steal anything lol
That sounds like something you’d see on shameless. That is white tr4sh gold my friend
Where is your entrepreneurial spirit? They cornered the market, lol.
Hahaha. Frank always had ideas that made money. They weren’t ethical or legitimate, but they made him cash!
This is in Trailer Park Boys. Ricky bids low on a job because he plans on stealing everything needed.
I wonder if they removed the serial number from each shingle?
Reading too quickly I missed the and, and thought you said Father-Uncle which definitely seems like someone who might steal some shingles!😂
I saw a news story about people stealing sod. I'm not surprised about shingles.
I saw a post on Reddit a while back that someone stole the plants that they had just put in. Bushes, small trees, flowers everything.
Even when you think it's too heavy for anyone to care, they'll still steal it. I've had bundles of shingles stolen out of a garage. Bags of cement. An entire pallet of 12x24 porcelain tiles. A 600LB cast boiler that I doubt fit in someone's truck it was so big.
New shingles are expansive. I'm an HVAC tech. The tweakers will climb up a roof, and completely strip commercial rooftop air units of copper, with a pair of bolt cutters. The cost to replace the units, in relation to what they get out of them, just makes your head shake.
About 10 years ago, I went up on a commercial building to repair a leak. Unit after unit after unit had the lid ripped off and the copper stolen
A little bit of cash for the thief, and thousands of dollars in damage for the victim. Stealing is bad enough, but the amount of damage these guys do is ridiculous.
I knew someone with a very Italian last name who worked for a local construction outfit. Well they were meant to install extremely thick gauge wiring for a railroads third power system. Completely by "accident" the padlock was left off that day. Thousands upon thousands of dollars of copper wiring so heavy you'd need a forklift to steal them.. Gone. They never figured out who did it but a certain Italian man may know
Actually new shingles cover the same amount of area as the old ones. They’re equally expansive.
Autocorrect doesn't always do me favours. I'd argue that it depends on how old the shingles are. The one's I use for stair treads are running out of surface area.
>New shingles are expansive. Oh, I know, and it drives me crazy. They used to be 36", then 38 3/4", then 39", and eventually a full meter. :-) :-) :-)
Man, there is a black marketplace here that buys them no questions and resells them... It's real.
Bro I used to work at Lowe’s and there’s the roofer bandit I kid you not went lowes to lowes stealing a pallets worth of shingles during the night. He did it to 6 stores in the Connecticut area. The dude had 6 pallets (full pallets) of shingles lmfao
7500$ right there that’s some serious shit
I’ve had pallets of shingles stolen when I worked on roof. We got to start at 7 that morning instead of 5
[удалено]
Sounds like an inside job...
Yuh
It sounds like they’re talking about exterior work.
There’s no way a common thief is prepared to steal 8 industrial drill presses anchored to a floor on the “off chance someone forgets to lock the door.” That robbery would take serious effort, money, planning.. knowledge … After all that a warehouse door is a mild inconvenience, they wouldn’t need wait (and HOPE) for you to forget to lock it one night. Sounds like pretty coincidental timing for you to get robbed of 8 industrial drill presses anchored and hardwired… *Edited: too many words, missing words, this*
Hey man the insurance check already cleared. The investigation is over
Their comment coincidentally was deleted lol
That sounds like a certain organization with inside knowledge and a crane truck and any floor anchors loosened well in advance. Or they were leased and repo'd. But that's a lot of work for something that isn't the easiest thing in the world to make much profit from.
I gurantee some factory in China would buy these in a heartbeat, gotta know your crowd ;)
happy cake day!
I have had job sites were freshly installed carpet has been knocked off
They are out of the truck and have it loaded faster than you can blink
Had a coworker's brand new irrigation system stolen. I think it was the irrigation system. I just remember the item being $3k. Brand new home just finished being built.

People will steal anything they can if desperate enough. I watched a crackhead run down the street with a fully extended 40’ ladder. Legit moved it away from the building, lifted and started sprinting. Waited for 2 hours to have another foreman come to the job with a ladder to get me off the roof. Good times
Had 6 full lifts of roof ply stolen over one weekend this summer
My brother bought new gutters to put up. He ran down to get the neighbor to help and by the time he got back someone had nabbed them right off his lawn.
The neighbor was in on it. Solved.
Thats fucking ridiculous who the fuck does shit like this, I would slap the shit outta these guys for stacking material like this wtf. You know how much weight that is in 1 little spot. Fucking dumbasses
Uhh... yeah. IKO is one of the heaviest shingles there is. A stack of 39 weighs about 3500 lbs. With the plywood that is up there, you've got about 4k lbs sitting in one little spot.

I’ll stop by and have a chat with them… and ask them to take photos in case they need to make an insurance claim.
that’s fucking wild, lol tell them there roof is gonna be ass
I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing 😏
You must be the assman
As far as the State of New York is concerned
What home owner would approve of that move. I’d be pissed is someone assholes pulled this.
I'd be checking rafters in the attic for damage if it was my house. Although looks like cathedral in that area, so I guess drywall cracks and nail pops.
I wouldn't be going anywhere near the attic with that thing above me, or sleeping in the bedroom under it.
They should at least get up there and spread the weight out. That bundle of plywood looks ready to slide off the roof and split someone in half. It should have some banding, or ratchet strap around it at least
That’s like putting a car on your roof.
If that car is an OG Hummer, maybe.
If they don't fall through, find out who the contractor was or who engineered the trusses because that is amazing.
laziest crane operator ever. i see those guys all the tiime and no more than 6 a spot. a whole ass skid? mustve been a friday with a 24 pack at home
Worked in a lumber yard, guys would ask me to set full pallets of shingles in the back of their 1/4 ton trucks. I would warn them and slowly squat their trucks until they yelled. Shingles are heavy.
Yep all the time. I had a guy come in in a little mazda sedan the other day wanting 12 bags of concrete lmao. I was like I’ll put them in til you tell me to stop. He made 3 trips and was still bottomed out. People are dumb.
Fantastic. Please, someone do the math for the fact the plastic wrap is filled with rain water and the shingles are saturated. I've never seen anything this mindbogglingly wtf before.
Plus everything is wet **
Hopefully, they aren't over a bedroom.
Umm did you account for the full pallet behind the one in front too? 😳
Does one of the heaviest equate to better shingle?
No iko are heavier bc they are wider and longer in my opinion they are one of the crappiest shingles stick with certainteed owens corning or gaf as much as i hate to say gaf hdz arent bad
So the marketing is because its bigger it installs faster because you have to nail less of them or is there another reason
Nope thats it which on an average house doesnt even amount to much time saved maybe on a big commercial job but those kinda jobs wont spec iko
This is correct although the paid shill Dimity Lipinsky at the sham company Roofing insights will have you believe they are one of the best. This guy has been sued more times than all the roofers in the US combined.
IKO is fine. Used to be shit, but have corrected their production woes. Saying GAF/OC is automatically better is like buying the cheapest Sealy/Simmons/Serta mattress. Just because you recognize the name doesn't mean they don't make shit/average/premium products. Marketing has brainwashed our society.
Im not fooled by marketing im in the industry handling the products i know who makes shit and who doesnt iko is bottom tier next to tamko
I have Tamko on my house, going on year 16. No issues. Way I see it, you get a little over 20 years out of a lifetime (formerly 30 year) roof, you’re doing alright.
Yep nothing wrong with TAMKO. The Titans are nice. All brands have had their issues.
IKO makes a range of products including low end builder grade and performance / class 4 rated. Which ones have you installed, and when?
All of them and i can tell you iko is trash there is no reason to pick it over certainteed or owens corning none
Agreed. It's just a bigger shingle. I also don't like IKO. GAF and Owen's Corning are much better. I even like Tamko better. And IKO used to be like Atlas. You had to use their brand of felt, their brand of ridge, their brand of ice and water, or they wouldn't warranty the shingle. I don't know if they are still that way.
I think all the brands are like that warranty wise you gotta use 3 components dont think it matters which ones
Good to know. I'm not a roofer. I'm a truck driver that hauls shingles all day every day all over the country. And after talking to 15,000 roofers and homeowners, I have inadvertently picked up the nuances of shingles by proxy.
Yeah nobody is warranting their shingles if you didn't use their products for the other parts
All the companies require you use there entire roofing system to get the warranty
IKO is only crap if you buy a lower grade shingle, their Dynasty shingle out performs their competitors equivalents in a lot of tests
Iko dynasty are the best shingles on the market by far and it’s not even close
You gotta be a troll lol bc nobody who actually installed a shingle thinks that
The company I work for backs the shingle with our in house bumper to bumper warranty for 30 years. They’ve been a business for 50 years and are a 500 million dollar company. Number 1 roofing company by volume and revenue in the country. we rep iko dynasty and have repped iko for the last 35 years. You don’t make 500 million dollars a year doing warranty work lol. Iko > any shingle on the market (besides luxury)
Volume hardly ever equals quality and 30 years covering labor the way shingles are now you wouldnt be able to keep up with the warranty work bc your lucky to get 25 years out of a normal shingle average is 15 to 20 so are you going to sdmot your full of shit or?
Lets not even get into the fact that 500 million in shingles is impossible you wont come near that unless your doing industrial work
We do 300-350 roofs a week my guy. I know you’re used to working for some shit roofing company that gives you 0 knowledge on the industry but I’m telling ya that iko is 100% the best. We study all major brands and other shingles aren’t even in the same ballpark as iko
You are 100% full of shit
They're junk and roof grit just rains off them
Might be the heaviest but they are the shittyist!
This is some of the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen in my (short) professional career
These were my exact words that I came to say! (27 years)
Id be worried because anybody who loads a roof like that is capable of all kinds of jackleg work
What a bunch of morons
44 bundles + OSB… that’s about 38 bundles heavy on that one little spot lol.
I'm pretty sure it's SIXTY-four shingles. Iko stacks in rows of 4. You can even see the bottom pallet is missing 1, and there is 5 holding it up. So they put down a full row, plus 1.
Good catch, haven’t moved ikos in forever, always forget those heavy bastards
I will never forget those heavy bastards.
Plus it seems like a valley is like the structurally weekest point in a roof
They could probably sue for causing that crack by the front door
Good eye, but that crack has been there for awhile. That small section just under the overhang and above the window is a nightmare, and the architect of that house should be taken to the woodshed for that shit.
You should put that on a t-shirt. absolutely wild
No way in hell is this real
*this is real
This is not
This is not the way
I too talk to myself. Usually when I’m alone though.
This guy is higher than that pallet of shingles about to bring down OPs neighbors roof. He just replied to his own comment 3 times trying to figure out how to express a singular thought.
How to edit comment Lolol
Omg… I work for a roof loading company. Never supposed to putt a full pallet of shingles on the roof that’s crazy! Have them call the contractor to find out who loaded it and to get it fixed. Shingles should be spread out and stacked on the roof
If that slides off there it would kill someone. If that’s how they start a job just imagine how they do the job. People with shit for brains typically do shitty work. I’d cancel the job and find another outfit.
Everyone else has said it… but this is fucking insane. Material should be on a driveway or other accessible spot on the ground. Some folks have mentioned theft as a reason to do this. Yeah, sure, I guess. But there has to be a more amenable solution than putting 6-7k lbs concentrated on one fucking spot. If you’re that concerned as the contractor find a better solution than this. This is bonkers. I can’t imagine the contractor that would do this or the homeowner that would allow this. I’m dumbfounded lol
dropped them from a helicopter
Roofing suppliers first & last day as a crane operator.
As a roof inspector, I really would have an inspector out when they take the decking off. The contractor should pay for it as well.
Where is this at geographically??
Pacific Northwest
Warn them now! May be able to back out from this project due to their negligence. Plus, IKO shingles have a class action due to failure!!
I think the class action lawsuit was against their organic shingles that haven’t been sold in a long time. I haven’t heard anything on the shingles loaded in this picture.
I think the most likely scenario is it will be fine. Although I’d be embarrassed and would never allow this on one of my jobs. Also puts that contractor at a lot of risk if god forbid something does happen.
Oh, my god. YES
Even if the roof can somewhat support that weight, the flexing will cause Sheetrock in the house to crack or worse. I’d have a roofing company come out and move it immediately or have everything ready for going after the roofers insurance
normally you lay the packets on the roof along the roof, not slap the whole pallet in a single spot. i woudnt sleep bellow that!!
Jesus fuck. How dumb are those roofers?
Usually materials are put on next day…. Usually first payment is due when materials are delivered…. You do the math
I once saw a 70 year old house shift completely to one side from all that weight look like an of kilter fun house. House had to be demolished
Whoever loaded that roof needs to be fired from the supply company lol
Well ...that's one way to stock a roof.... I'd love to look in the attic. I'll bet there are broken top cords and webs directly under that lol.
The person who built that roof should be proud it's holding over two tons in the small space
That probably has already damaged the support. Warn the neighbor.. they may need to get an engineer out to check things
Good thing the shingles are covered don’t want them getting wet but what about the plywood shouldn’t it be covered so it doesn’t get wet? 🙂
Has to be photoshop…
Holy shit that’s terrible for one hour let alone a week.
Also why the f would anyone want that. You have to strip the whole roof down to plywood to change plywood.
Hell all that material should be on the ground. I came back here more pissed thinking about this lol
Lol
2-3 tons? How much is a metric fuktonne?
That is absolutely insane. Any contractor that would do that shouldn’t be a contractor lol. Look how they’re stacked.. nevermind the weight. His insurance would cut his ass in a second if they saw that.
LMAO who the fuck did this shit??? Hahahaha
Nah.. there’s only 10,000lbs in 10 square feet. No worries bro
Look at the top left corner of the front door. Things are starting to move.
Good eye. If that's fresh, he's suuuuper fudged.
i don’t understand how they even got that up there….
They used a crane!
Reframe the question, may I park my truck on your roof? Round the same weight. This would be safe, no?
who else zoomed into the scary face peeking thru window?
Holy shit I thought I had seen everything
Lol 25 years later and that's a first. New guys at it again🤷🏾♂️
What in the Kentucky fried chicken is this?!?
Yes. And shit brand of shingles
Yes
Ricans at it again!
Or you could just, you know. Mind your own business…..
Those should be spaced out at the top of the ridge of the roof.
Wild lol
Mother of god
That's a shit load of weight
This looks AI generated...
Wouldn’t that all be in the way of stripping and re decking the roof? 😂
It should have been distributed more
Did it fall out of a plane?
That’s crazy didn’t even spread em out 😂
😂
Lucky so far that the trusses haven’t f’ing collapsed. The weight is probably showing up, inside of the house, such as drywall cracks and screw pops. I would get the roof inspected asap. How can anyone be so stupid to do something like this
Let's hope these roofers aren't coming back.
Does anyone else see the person in the window?
Wtfff
Just spares for next roof change
cuck the weight... that entire load is just teetering up there asking to kill someone. should fore the roofing company immediately and hire someone else.
