Best way to do tear off?

Depends on type of roof, different methods and tools for different types.

Okay how about on average the best way to tear off, like if you had to give someone who was new to the trade a 5 minute explanation on what to do what would you tell them?

I'll assume a asphalt shingle roof. Starting at the top (ridge) shove your tear-off shovel under the caps and pry up. do this on both sides. Once you have a section of the caps removed, push shovel under the shingles (from the top) and pry them up. Do this until you have reached the bottom. Repeat untill entire side is torn off, making sure all the old roofing nails are pulled. This is why your shovel has teeth.
Wood shakes are best attacked going sideways, using a turning fork.

What should I do with a roof that is part-flat (house expansion, asphalt rolls) and part hip-roof low-slope (asphalt shingles)? My thought was it'd need a complete retrussing to get rid of the flat roof parts that cause problems

The cheapest and easiest solution would be to use tapered insulation panels on the flat part when re-roofing it so the water will drain. Get some more r-value to boot.

what all parts of the roof will need to be stripped down to, before adding the insul panel?

The flat section obviously, and 2-3 feet up the sloped to be able to do a proper tie-in with the sloped section. What sort of roofing is on the sloped part?

Actually now that I think about it, I've got a leak it leaks in the basement off of the car port I'm pretty sure(car port is flat roof) how do I fix it?

Need some pics to ID roof material and leak source. Flatroof leaks are most common from the detail areas (flashings, penetrations, tie ins). But you have to remember that where the water is entering the roof and where it shows up inside can be quite different

Will see what I can do on pictures, I've got to get up there to get pictures. I'll PM them too you once I get them.

Ok, need to know what material existing roof is, as using an asphalt based repair product on a EPDM (rubber) roof is a big nono.

Will you clean my roof for a cage full of quail?

Depends on size of roof and number of quail. Takes at least 3 for a decent meal.

Mine are quite large. You could prob do 2 for a meal. The roof isnt very big and its 25% solar panels. Its prob also in another country.

Why on earth would someone not install the drip edge when putting a new metal roof on?
Follow-up: How difficult would it be to add drip edge to an already installed metal roof? Would it basically just involve taking off the metal sheets along the edge, attaching the metal edge and re-attaching the metal sheets?

It could be, depends on what sort of detail (if any) previous roofers did at bottom of the panels.

It...looks like it was done correctly. They put flashing(?) along the 2 bottom edges. But for some reason they didn't bother with any of the four sides.
