do not let them put on those black rubber pipe boots.. those things will rot in 7-10 years from UV damage and allow water to leak in your home (ask for bullet boot pipe jacks


I thought the bullet boots were rubber?

They are TPE rubber with a 35yr warranty and are UV resistant

Traditional rubber pipe jacks degrade like a mofo.. this roof is 11 years old... yes its 3tab and yes its shitty work (no sealant on the nails and a crappy cut around the boot)

But the rubber boot has been degraded from sun damage so badly that the decking is now exposed and has water damage

Also, people, don't paint your pipes... they look like shite in a year or two... especially any Type B vent that lets hot air escape... the paint will eventually flake off and look like crap
