If you have wind damaged shingles and are in need of DIY roof repair. This video shows how to replace shingles that have blown off. The first step to repair shingles is to remove all remnants of the old damaged shingles, including pulling or pounding in all the nails. Then take your new shingles and starting at the bottom of the damaged area, install them with 5 nails each and using tube roofing tar to make sure they are sealed down.
Check the surrounding area for loose shingles and use the tar to seal them before the next wind tears them off too.

I used to work for a roofing company for about a year and recently got offered to help out on fixing some shingles and this video refreshed my memory, thank you

That slow-mo of the broken shingles being thrown off the roof did it for me. Thanks!

We live I. North Texas and just lost some asphalt shingles on my pump house. So I have some of the ordinal shingles I put on about 33 years ago. Thanks for the tip of using tar to seal the shingles down. I am probably going to put down steel roofing later this year. But to make it weatherproof before our trip I will just replace the broker ones like you showed. Thanks for your video.

We're from texas and we just have storm last night and damage some part of our shingles. The following morning we decided to see how much will it cost repairing them. And was shocked that this guy wanted the whole roof to be remove instead of repairing what has been removed by the storm.

@zulemadiazhenao6190 3 жыл бұрын

Changing your roof is covered by the insurance company. Repairing solves a little bit but it will be a bigger problem in the near future. I think maybe the roofer just offer you to solve the bigger damages that wil appear in the near future when repairing instead of replacing

@owenmartin4331 3 жыл бұрын

It was covered but unfortunately the damage wasn't that big enough to at least cover the whole deductible before the insurance kick in. And since our home was 3yrs old then, we decided to just repair those damage.

@AngelsCrafty 3 жыл бұрын

How much did it ended up costing you if you don’t mind? We’re in the same exact boat. House 3 years old roof it of warranty. We have some wind damage and have a few loose shingles. Too small of an area to file a claim but waiting on the roofing company to write up a contract for a complete reseal of the shingles.

@1995texasaggie 2 жыл бұрын

@@AngelsCrafty I'll answer your question.......I had Wilson Roofing in Austin, Texas fix a patch about the size that you see in this video. $350. Wilson Roofing had originally fixed the same area earlier in the year and it was their fix that failed. Why am I here? Wilson Roofing's patch work just blew off so I'm going to fix it myself. I was hoping for a recommended roof tar and tack size but that wasn't included in this video so my search continues. Hope that helps.

Wish I could do this. Live in the hot south (louisiana) and my 5 year old shingles won't even pry up enough to hammer underneath like that. If I try to use the pry bar to lift most times they will tear and get worse. My solution seems to get what you can underneath the sections you take out and use this roofing tar to seal up the adjacent connecting joints. Thanks for the video though.

It will do ? What about driving the roofing nails above or below the nail strip it will do.

@FolkwayLodge 5 жыл бұрын

Just what I needed! We had a lot of shingles come off in our last storm. We have a really steep pitch to our roof though, it’s an A-frame barn style house. I wonder if I need some extra tar. Is there any other considerations you can think of that I may need to take?

@CountryFamily 5 жыл бұрын

If you have some warm sunny days the tar strip should melt and adhere right away. It doesn't hurt though to add tube tar. I'd also check the surrounding shingles to make sure they're sealed down too and tar them if not. As far as the steep roof, I personally won't go up on anything steeper than 8/12 and even that is sketchy without fall protection or roofjacks. Good luck with your repairs.

I see some roofers use nail guns to hammer down the shingles. Is that a nice thing to do? I would think that the nail gun is too much pressure it could push the nail in further than what it should be.

@CountryFamily 3 жыл бұрын

Roofing nail guns and nails are designed so the nail doesn't easily push through the shingle, but It's important to set the pressure so the nail head doesn't penetrate through the shingle.

@rockymountainsound4815 2 жыл бұрын

Noticed that roof may have been done incorrectly same as mine and that's probably why mine and your friends blow off. The top shingle on architectural shingles is (in any install instructions I read) supposed to come down to the horizontal line of the artificial slate look detail. If this is manufacture specific let me know. So in the case of the roof your working on the shingles may be 1/2" to 3/4" to high.

@DeathValleyDazed Жыл бұрын

Good catch and thanks for this pro tip!

@mtsflorida Жыл бұрын

Good point. There needs to be sufficient overlap but the slate line needs to be on the money. The tar needs to serve 2 purposes. 1) prevent rain from entering, 2) be an adhesive to keep the ends down.

You didn't nail the next row you just nailed the 3rd shingle and black jacked it and call it a day, you should of nailed the row above the last and black jacked it and looked for more damage,usually when you have a blow off many shingles in the area of damage have lost there seal and raised too let go of the nail and went back down.
