How to Replace or Repair a Damaged Shingle by RoofingIntelligence.com 

I pretty much know that there are two types of people in the world: Those who can teach and those who can do. You Sir are obviously one of those rare people that can do both! Thanks for helping me fix my roof! 😊

I've been a builder for many years and have seen quite a fair bit of sheds. The plans in ryan's package ru-vid.comUgkxB7IXYxLzb_Ichhe45zM3Im5xfEiSp9vB have some of the nicest looking sheds i've seen in a while.

What a Great & Simple Tutorial to follow. I've helped my Dad shingle our roof when I was a young boy, but I've never seen or helped with a repair. Now, I'm sure I can fix the small problem I have. After getting a few quotes, I determined that I can even purchase the ladder I need and still save a bit. And I'll have a nice ladder to help with other projects.

This is the most informational video I’ve seen about replacing a shingle. Thanks sir.

Hurricane Ian survivor here. We took a royal palm frond spear at high speed all the way through the decking. This video was the last tool I needed before tackling the fix. Thanks!

Outstanding. Thank you! Gives me confidence to fix my section of roof

Good advice and nicely demonstrated . Use a grout brush to remove any dirt and debris before replacing the shingle and this is the time to spray some Flexseal or use roofing tar over nails . Roofing tar will hold down shingles and keep them from lifting . A couple bricks will hold down the shingle on a warm day and left for 24 hours . Great video , 1000 thumbs up and thanks very much .

Great repair video. Thank you for sharing. This video gave me the confidence to repair a small section of wind damaged shingles on my roof

Thank you. Lot of roofers on here not liking you helping others.

Cool dude 😎 getting ready to patch some shingles on my roof. After watching I'm super confident. Actually looking forward to it!

Cool from Oklahoma City,I am working,last year no More,2018 ,god bless this job

Thanks. I need replacement some shingles in my old house. This is a very simple and good explanation. Special the matching tip.

Thank you for sharing 🙂. Great tutorial and easy to follow. So informative and wonderful tips.

Thank you because i didn't know that but need to fix a roof now. We get 27 miles winds and didn't know to much abut it until now so thanks.

Thank you!!! This is VERY HELPFUL!!! Great tips!! Simply and clearly stated! Great!!!

EXCELLENT video! All the needed information presented in a clear easy to understand manner and some excellent advice concerning color matching on replacement shingles.

Thank you for such a great video explaining all this.

I work on my own roof from time to time so this was a great refresher. You are in fact a great teacher. Thank you, very helpful.

Best video I have seen to show how to replace shingles.

This really helped me and I’ve done roofs before, but I bought a farm and have a leak in my workshop. Thanks .

My father recently passed away due to Covid. Noticed our Shed had a shingle that was damaged/missing. Normally I would get guidance from him on how to do stuff around the house. He’s no longer here so I Gotta step up to the plate of a homeowner. Thank you for providing information on my first fix around the house as a homeowner.

Finally, a roof repair video that will be helpfull to anyone who watches. Great job explaining to those who need the help. I am a professional also, so many truths in this video!!!!

Why am I watching this. I’m 15 and don’t own a house.

Good video. Right to the point and not a lot of filibuster.

Perfectly helpful. Thanks for the video.

Very helpful since I am having to do this myself, as homeowner. Reason: contractor crew installation of new roof 7 years ago left me with 4 leaks. Didn't know right away since we were having a drought that year. Then another roofer came and fixed leaks, mostly around vent pipes. Two years later and a lot of rain and now at least two of those that roofer #2 fixed are leaking. He comes back a month later, after 3 phone calls and a letter and fixes one. A week after that it leaks again. When I say leak, it is actually a lot of water. Damaging my walls and ceiling. He doesn't answer phone calls. On his work sheet from the job two years ago, he says 1 year warranty on labor. Great, I pay him a lot of money and the work is two years old and has failed. I guess he figures he's covered since it is past the warranty. What kind of roofer thinks two years is enough for work to last? Called two more roofers. One said he would come tomorrow at ten, didn't come, no word since. Another one wants a thousand dollars, not including materials to fix one vent leak on a low slope roof. So, now I am going on the roof myself, too old and not well. I figure I can't do any worse than he did. And I have to learn how watching youtube videos. Thanks to the people who put them up for us.

This was a very big save for me. Thank you 10 times. Keep doing this for people like me.

Thanks. This video helped me to replace some shingles. I'm not sure what sealant you used, but I had some paintable indoor/outdoor silicone caulk. I used that.

Nice video. First one I watched in Menards parking lot before going in to get what I need to replace some shingles on my rental house :D Feeling pretty confident now.

Thanks for the walkthrough and advice.

Thanks.GOOD EXPLAINED.

I appreciate how you slow down and explained this to those who are not roofers. Question: I have a can of Flex Seal. Will that do the job of sealing the nails, and underside of the shingles while allowing for heat expansion?

Thank you for making this feel like a manageable task ❣️😌

Definitely a great video and some helpful idea's. Thank you....

I am in Brazil and couldn't find any worker that could repair my shingles now thanks for your help I made it by myself.

very informative, thanks

Thanks. I'm learning before hurricane season.

Great video!

what kind or brand of sealant you are recomending..thanks

Wow. I have an old roof with several spots where the shingles are damaged. No water damage inside. And no $10k for a new roof. I dont care what it looks like, i just want to ensure we remain leak free. Thank you sir.

If you are selling it right away then the shingles not matching is an issue. However, if you use the same original colour it will fade to match the existing. I would think a different color might fade differently.

Thank you sir good info

Good video! Thanks 😊

What kind of sealant are you using to glue it down?

Thank you

Thanks a lot

Excellent.! Thumb up >!

Thank u!!!!

Congrats, this was the first DIY video for home repair that I have seen on RU-vid with the full and correct info, no matter what the subject. You my friend are a pro, thanks.

Like the video. Maybe sow the bad shingles as a different color just to clarify the difference. Just a thought.

Thank you!!!

That kind of damage typically wont leak, due to the way shingles are designed, but if you loose 5 inches or so of the shingle then you may have an issue, other then that roofing tar will fix small gashes like this

~ What make of sealant would you recommend?

Thanks chris

What type of sealant should be used between the shingles?

Well done , I would add is the type of sealant to use and not use . No silicone . Osi works and holds strong but , tar products hold up best . Also use 5 nails standard or 6-7 for high wind areas for the metric shingle .

Could you replace a single 3 tab style shingle with a architectural style one? I know the glue strips are in different places, could I just use the sealant?

Focus only on things you love, feel love, and you will experience that love and joy coming back to you - multiplied!

Great show. Good advice. Thank you.

Thanks.

Great video - what kind of sealant should I use? Is there a special roofing sealant or can I use silicone? - thanks!

Thanks

Very helpful! Thanks!

Thankful. 😀😀😀

Thanks learn new things

Needed to replace one shingle, by the time I was done I had a new roof..🕴

I could not get the architectural shingles to slide out. Removed the two rows of nails but its like the shingles are glued to the roof. Due to low slope of roof our roof has ice/water membrain over the entire roof. I'm trying to replace some near the edge of the roof so I can replace the drip edge, fascia and soffit. Any ideas? Thanks

I hope John C Reilly plays this guy in the movie version if this how-to video.

Use mule stick flap bar to break free on nails on the broken and replace.

thankyou

#1. I have one piece of a tab about 12'' x 4'' (width) that blew off during wind storm last week. I have about 6 spare shingles left (stored in attic)from the original roof. I saw a couple of other videos showing that you can just cut a section of shingle to repair, rather then use a whole shingle. Do you agree with using a partial shingle, as long as I use technique the way you did with the whole shingle? #2. While I was on the roof, I noticed around 4 separate shingles that had small cracks in a tab, running from side to side. I tried to softly lift bottom of tab, and each one easily raised up to the cracks, so the seal is definitely broken. I was hoping that I could apply Black Jack Roof Cement below the cracked part of the tab, and at the bottom, plus run a bead on top of the crack. Would that work? I'm worried the lifting the tab too high to apply the cement at the crack may break the tab. Would you suggest trying this to see if it works or just replace each tab? I was not planning to hammer any nails (since it would be exposed nails), unless it would help hold cracked shingle down. It is on the back of my home, so no one would see it. I'm guessing there is a reason that the nails are not exposed, besides cosmetic and nails eventually rusting? Also, since some of the shingles are getting the cracks, I expect more to happen. The roof/shingles are 16 years old, so I was hoping to get another 2 or 3 years before time for new roof. This roof also went through Hurricane Ivan and a couple of other less powerful hurricanes. Lost 3 shingles during Ivan, so I have been lucky so far. From reading my comments, you can probably tell that I have never done this before:) Thanks in advance!

What state allows you to nail like that lol it tells you how to nail on the package we do hurricane nails 6 per shingle

that protip at the end is exactly how the most of those repair guys workers do it too and then they up charge LOL

wish my first house was as big as the one he is working on.

We have a 12/12 pitch here in Georgia on most house , sucks cause can barely make repairs

4 nails does not meet Requirements for some coastal or high wind communities. They require 6 nails to meet 130 mph standard wind load Requirements. Check your local building codes and manufacturer's recommendations.

You can set the nail . Use tbe flat bar. Put on head of nail and hit with hammer . Saves having to hold up shingle . They change colors every five years.

What glue is recommended

en la Vida real es UN poco mas complicado pero asi SE Hace.

What type of sealant ?

Can I buy just one shingle?

Hello show me how u do it in the winter high house 12/12 pitch see how easy that is

What adhesive do you recommend?

Read the instructions on the package the shingles called for 6 nails per shingle .

I’m 50 and I am addicted to this cuz I had to replace a few sheets of shingles. I’m not nearly a man yet, but I’m closer. Shingle porn.
