Sheesh, I recently covered a small hole on my roof after wind damage in the same way. Going back up tomorrow to revise what I did and hope the damages aren't too severe. Really informative video. Thank you, sir, for the information.
Nope, Happens in the Hudson Valley NY as well.Same situation ,only the person they called to apply the tarp was the same guy that installed the roof 2 months prior.12 ft of soffit damage from tree damage due to a storm.He covered half of a 7 sq section.He charged them $450 to do so.I was called in because of this charge.His greed cost him the job. I Had to replace the entire front of a raised ranch due to different lot numbers.The actual color of the shingles were like night and day although they were the same.The amount of shingles needed totaled 1 bundle to do original repair needed.If he left a bundle behind as I do, after an install it would have been repaired for far less then needed.Happens all of the time but all you can do is keep true and honest as you are and keep transparent to inform all of the homeowners too scared to go up themselves.Good channel TY
Most of the time, you can break pull those felt caps, break the shingles loose, and squirt some stuff in between on the hole - push down so it squeezes out of the top hole ... it's not as good as replacing it all, but it does work. Use a bad ass sealant like a urethane (vulkem). The ridge, maybe not.
Once the Deck is Pierced, Manufacturers Installation Instructions (which reverts to Building Code), would require the whole underlayment be replaced, and since the roof is contiguous, most Insurance companies would pay to have the entire roof replaced, and replacement of the seamless gutters damaged by the tree. Insurance would also pay for Tree Removal and Emergency Tarping. Doing a quick repair is a disservice, IMHO, for the customer. Dealing with a Contractor that knows how to supplement Insurance claims properly is a lot different than dealing with a Roofer out to do a repair.
That info on how to properly cover damaged or leaking areas is super helpful. A whole video showing 2 or 3 different covering methods, with all the right steps and right materials and/or tools needed, would be rad. Actually showing how its done goes a long ways, if you could set-up a spot to do a few demonstrations somehow
My roof leaked last year. I tossed on a tarp and some 2x4s to hold it down. Worked ok I was planning on replacing the whole roof so damage to the roof was not a big consideration.
We tarp roofs all the time not exactly like that lol but keeping in mind the entire roof is being redone so tarping is not an issue , but in a repair situation there are better options as you clearly stated...
So replace a while section of roof is the better fix vs a tube of roofing caulk black and a new pack of shingles? Glad I can do my own roofing so I don't have to rely on a roofer upselling me needlessly on a quarter roof replacement to fix 3 damaged shingles and patching 30 nail holes. You act like putting some roofing caulk in the mail holes would be visible from the moon, while in reality you would never ever be able to see it from the ground right in front of the house. Replacing the whole section of roof for that damage is just crazy overkill.
@@j.vosier6786 The concept of roofing is incredibly simple. It's just the awkwardness of being on a roof that is tough. Watching a couple UA-cam videos is plenty to tackle a simple roof. Gets more complex if you have valleys and a lot of complexity to your roof, but it's not anything hard. It's just a lot of work in an environment that can be scary being high off the ground on a tilted surface.
This happens everywhere regardless of location. We've been doing roof repairs since early 2000s. It takes a whole lot to surprise me these days . I've seen all kinds of butchery.
Man, i had a similar problem with a leak, and even my foolish DIY mind put a small 6x10 tarp that was secured over the roof with rope on all sides. It wasn't perfect, but it at least meant no roof penetration.
Thank you I appreciate it! There are some good guys on UA-cam but there are definitely a lot giving out bad advice! I always say you can learn a lot on UA-cam when you use some common sense with it! Thanks!!
A good sneeze would blow that tarp off, use wooden straps people. That type of repair is common during wind storms particularly when there are hundreds of claims to address, insurance companies dont do partial repairs, the entire damaged side get replaced
Any homeowner feels the pain of this damage done by nailing the tarp. Wow. As a female & uneducated about this subject, I have to be vigilant about everyone who goes on my roof, claiming to be a pro, or not. We had 75mph winds last Nov and roofing companies were barraged. I was desperate. I'm glad I got an honest, qualified roofer to help me at the last moment. He told me I didn't need a tarp. Boy, the damage incompetents can do!!??
The insurance will count every nail as a damaged shingle and going over the ridge with the tarp gives you damage on both sides of the roof. Your "repair" may cost them a full replacement if they do have storm damage.
we tarp our roof and we might did the wrong thing coz the leak might not be from the roof but from the heater behind the ceiling. Now, how can we repair the roof with nail damage?
I hate it when people tarp over spots like that cuz your rite instead of fixing a small areal now you got a larger area to replace. Flat baring everything would be was longer than coming off and back on with new
i am not going to pretend to know better than anyone else, but my experience with getting contractors to do repairs typically result in this scenario because the incompetent and cheap ones have the time to come out immediately, while the better contractors are busy and unavailable for urgent repairs -- thus, you get these situations.
I would probably agree that most of the time that is true. There are however times where good reputable companies are not busy at this time of year because they would rather shift to repair work and save new roof installs for warmer weather.
@@GrandRoofingInc i am still installing, i quit when its high of 25 and lower, ive been doing it for years like that, never a problem sealing later on. what do you think about that?
@@GrandRoofingInc i have no doubt that you are right, in fact, i figured the same thing this past october when i needed the vent boots replaced. however, none of the large companies were interested nor had the time (i assume it was not worth it for them to send someone out and i completely understand given it was such a minor job).
I've been roofing 17 years right through every winter. Very rarely do we have a problem. Last year though I learned my lesson on a 100 square barn out in the country. Had a very windy Thanksgiving day last year. It blew out a little bit, the manufacturer said they would not cover the warranty because it was a cold weather install and we did not follow their directions. Which by their directions they do not State a temperature or date. They want you to put three dabs of sealer under every single. Never in my life have I heard of anyone doing that. It gives them an out if they want to. I personally would not put a new roof on my house in the winter, I'm not going to advise a customer to. So yes it can be done I just personally don't want to.
Damn I bought my house In 97 had my roof replaced with Owen's Corning 3 tab by a couple local Insallers. Just recently had It replaced after 24 years with hopefully good quality.
Homeowners insurance should be paying for that entire section to be replaced, or really that entire front side considering it won’t match if only 1 section is done....put a nice number on that bad boy and cash in brother 😂👍🏽 Contractors do that stuff to us all time with tarps on additions, they don’t get that we’re not just gonna tar the holes like a hack lol
Should it be on the homeowners insurance being that there was such minor storm damage or the idiot that tarped it causing quite a bit of damage? I just like to think of myself as the insurance company. Was there enough storm damage to replace the roof or was it the idiot that caused all the damage. Also Indiana is not a no match state.
Yeah I live in Ohio...I’ve made 2 claims on my house from tree damage, my insurance paid to replace everything. 2 pieces of siding were damaged, gutter and a little soffit and they paid to replace the entire side of the house all the way to the peak. Let’s just say I made out great lol
....but yeah dude definitely was a idiot but insurance absolutely pays people to tarp roofs, and sometimes the guys tarping them have hopes of being the one to replace the roof... hence making sure the entire section needs replaced 😂
I have seen insurance adjusters come out and say the repair was so minor it could have been repaired, but the contractor that did the damage did unnecessary damage. They denied a claim to replace the roof because of it, only covering the repair. It was then on the homeowner to fight the company that covered it.
Depends on the local laws. If I was the contractor I would call the insurance and have then send a engineer. If any rafters are damaged the insurance need to replace them. I would get the insurance to cover that whole roof some decking and possibly more depending on the damage
Your proposal is right. Reroof the entire slope. "flat bar out" is not a good term. Look at what the manufacturers say about breaking sealants. The guy did you a favor. Do you want to do cheap work, or real work? Reroof the whole slope, if not the entire roof. Probably won't match anyways.
We paid a roofer for a tear off/re-roof, and after they did the tear off, and put the black paper over the decking, we had water intrusion. So, they came and tarped in the roof, a couple of months ago. They have hundreds of nails throughout the entire roof, holding down the tarp. Is this a problem that the nails are through the black paper and decking? Does that ruin the wood and cause more problems? Or will the shingles they put on later protect those 100's of holes? Thank you!
Damn this sux, this is why it's best to call a roofing company asap. About how much does does a fix like this cost with everything you outlined, what's an approximate?
TBH I have watched numerous of your videos and everyone of them is a negative vibe. As far as the damage, as a Roofing Company Owner, if you know anything about Storm Damage or Insurance, if they had Insurance you should be helping the homeowner not be getting them a mismatched patch (Which new shingles will not match) but rather a entire new roof because of said Insurance coverage.
Unreal.. a couple pieces of ridge cap wedged in would have been more discreet and functional and hell it may have worked for the lifetime of the roof if they wanted it to 🤷♂️
Same here I always have a roll on a truck. The point of the videos to maybe help the homeowner out there to not do so much collateral damage. Even if they don't want to buy a $60 roll of synthetic they can get a $15 tarp and cut it down.
@@GrandRoofingIncyou are doing a great service to homeowners, I just wish “handymen” would educate themselves on roofing instead of ruining a bunch of shingles for no reason
Thank you I appreciate that! This can keep me pretty busy! On top of the time shooting the video and editing them. I'm replying to like 100 comments this evening.
@@GrandRoofingInc hahaha jjst had this recently. Guy had a leak and got a handyman to nail vapour barrier all over the place. When it still leaked he called me and I found the bad siding/flashing and then had to replace a few bundles of shingles as well as the siding/flashing. FFS 🤦♂️
Honestly if you left the nails it wouldn't leak for quite a while. Silicone would help by a little more time but it's going to look bad either way. I guess the point is it should have never been nails off that bad. The roofing company that put the tarp up could have easily dried in that very small area and still charged an emergency tarp job.
After freeing up the shingles to lay the tarp under them for run off, do you place your fasteners under the shingles or face nail the shingles down on top of the tarp
Looks like one of those companies that only do insurance work tarped it off. I'm surprised they didn't tarp off both sides of the roof for that little hole.
They probably paid enough to save the interior from more costly damage and the guys if was a storm damage were sent with that tarp to that address and countless others. So nail it on and go help the next house they're not roofers they're usually board up services after a fire and storm response . Probably dark out and called out after a full day's work. They wanted the water stopped so stopped. Us being tradesman no we wouldn't do that but we're tradesman not hired help that only last a little while
Bad form as a contractor to throw another contractor under the bus. He's going to trash talk you to every sales call he goes to. Sensational content tho...
I don't take it for granted I do know the proper way to fix it as a roofing for men for a repeatable roofing company to take for granted means you just assume what you think is true but I in fact don't just assume I do this stuff every day of my life for a living man so I was giving an accurate way to fix the problem temperarily till it can be actually all replaced cause like the video says the guy who fixed it caused way more damage that was fully true
@@louisbrown2279 yep... the first vid i saw of his was a metal roof that had a whole bunch of places you couldn't see from the ground. even i could recognize how bad it was. if i had done that job, i would lose sleep -- truly shocking
@@louisbrown2279 i've never done any roofing (obviously) so i would have found out the hard way that the big blue tarp was going to cost a whole lot more in the spring. he commented that it was an actual company that did that -- it worries me that there are "professionals" who did that. they are going to cost the owner a lot more than it should, and i wonder if the owner realizes that!
It would've taken less time and been less expensive to just remove those shingles and at least temporarily replaced them with new ones until a professional could get there to do the proper repair.
for me, that's a tough call because i am more incompetent than the "fly-by-nights". but yeah, there are scenarios that need immediate attention and it might actually be better for the homeowner to at least try and alleviate the problem until a professional gets time to come out.
Any tarp would be good as long as it's big enough to cover the damage area. I would recommend if it is a large section, to get a thicker mil tarp to hold up better in the wind.
Because it’s proper. This dude is talking a bunch of crap about a temporary repair that was done the proper way. He’s clearly not familiar with storm damage and insurance claims and is using this negative talk to attempt to build up his company. I’d NEVER use someone doing that...
Hello I've been watching your videos and they are helpful. But i don't understand why you don't wear a safety harness while working and shooting your videos up on a roof. Helpful hints are great but getting injured while doing so can be costly. I've been designing and building for over 30 years an have always took safety into consideration. Don't forget your followers are going up on their roof without safety in mind and they can seriously hurt themselves. Keep in mid that accidents that happen can come back onto you and your videos. Sorry for bringing this issue up but think safety first. Subscriber Designer/Builder
Good opportunity to make an informative video for homeowners not looking at storm damage. But we all know that insurance is involved on that job. Common to see the tree company take the tree off the house and tarp the roof. Not them fixing it so collateral damage means nothing. But that tarp made the tree company an easy $300 profit for the little time to install it.
Seems kinda arrogant to say you not going to try and save your customer money by ripping off an entire section???? Let them live with the fact they are going to have a weird patchy looking roof but it can be easily fixed in half a day by just removing the affected shingles?? If they really don't have a lot of money simply using a modified bitumen product in the nail holes would also be and easy fix for the abortion of a tarp job. I just feel its kinda disingenuous to recommend a redo of the entire section for what could be a relatively cheap fix.
Good way to piss off your insurance adjuster lol. Surprised the contractor didn’t nail tarp all the way over the ridge and cap nail down the center of the tarp for good measure. Just some jackass trying to get a full roof replacement for what looks like maybe a 5 shingle repair initially.
Bro, do better. Help the people with the storm damage claim. Help them facilitate it with their insurance carrier. You’re talking a lot of crap for someone who’s not doing the right thing by the homeowner here...
Try doing a video just doing the work, you love to criticize previous work in every single one of your videos . I see you do good work so why do you feel the need to always blame someone else.
This video is completely irrelevant. If it’s from storm damage an insurance claim needs to be filed and homeowner needs to fight/litigate for repairs and or new roof if shingles can’t be matched.

You rack them? I don’t believe any of the manufacturer’s allow that on architectural shingles.
Looks like derecho damage from August 10. We have all of that stuff around iowa.
Keep up the great work.
That's the same thing you done on a video.
They should be thankful that a larger tarp wasn’t available!
Lol
In new England that call a Main put a tarp over it and it's good for two years
What tarp you recommend?
Any tarp would be good as long as it's big enough to cover the damage area. I would recommend if it is a large section, to get a thicker mil tarp to hold up better in the wind.
I swear I’ve seen a video recommending this method with those kind of fasteners
Because it’s proper. This dude is talking a bunch of crap about a temporary repair that was done the proper way. He’s clearly not familiar with storm damage and insurance claims and is using this negative talk to attempt to build up his company. I’d NEVER use someone doing that...
Hello
I've been watching your videos and they are helpful. But i don't understand why you don't wear a safety harness while working and shooting your videos up on a roof. Helpful hints are great but getting injured while doing so can be costly. I've been designing and building for over 30 years an have always took safety into consideration. Don't forget your followers are going up on their roof without safety in mind and they can seriously hurt themselves. Keep in mid that accidents that happen can come back onto you and your videos.
Sorry for bringing this issue up but think safety first.

Well, how am I supposed to know?!
The more I watch the less I know. Roofs used to look fine to me, now it seems like mistakes everywhere
Good opportunity to make an informative video for homeowners not looking at storm damage. But we all know that insurance is involved on that job. Common to see the tree company take the tree off the house and tarp the roof. Not them fixing it so collateral damage means nothing. But that tarp made the tree company an easy $300 profit for the little time to install it.
I found out it was a roofing company that put the tarp up there.
Some companies have no shame when it comes to creating work to raise the cost of a job. You do great work and I do enjoy watching the videos you make.
Thanks!
Just fix it with roofing cement
The customer won't admit that he and his buddy put that tarp on there
Lol man I get the video, but you know the insurance is going to pay for it because it was natural
Lift the shingle up, squirt some geocel under be done. 1-2 hrs of work and it's done! $500, see ya never!
Thanks for the video you’re quite handsome!
Can technically leave the cap nails.
They are water proof, and going threw 3 layers
May as well replace that side know lol
Why don't the homeowner get there and do it?you can save a lot of money that's what I do
Seems kinda arrogant to say you not going to try and save your customer money by ripping off an entire section???? Let them live with the fact they are going to have a weird patchy looking roof but it can be easily fixed in half a day by just removing the affected shingles?? If they really don't have a lot of money simply using a modified bitumen product in the nail holes would also be and easy fix for the abortion of a tarp job. I just feel its kinda disingenuous to recommend a redo of the entire section for what could be a relatively cheap fix.
When you're poor every repair is costly
BUT they did a good job cutting up the tree !!!!!!!!!!!
Good way to piss off your insurance adjuster lol. Surprised the contractor didn’t nail tarp all the way over the ridge and cap nail down the center of the tarp for good measure. Just some jackass trying to get a full roof replacement for what looks like maybe a 5 shingle repair initially.
Yes they definitely did a number on it. I heard they charged an outlandish amount to do that right there as well.
Who cares if the insurance adjuster is pissed or not.
Bro, do better. Help the people with the storm damage claim. Help them facilitate it with their insurance carrier. You’re talking a lot of crap for someone who’s not doing the right thing by the homeowner here...
Try doing a video just doing the work, you love to criticize previous work in every single one of your videos . I see you do good work so why do you feel the need to always blame someone else.
This video is completely irrelevant. If it’s from storm damage an insurance claim needs to be filed and homeowner needs to fight/litigate for repairs and or new roof if shingles can’t be matched.
Shingle over top. Lol
Use Lexel sealant on the nail holes. And quit being such a drama queen.
Why are you criticizing damn . Do your job ! Complain like a women wow
What in the fuck
Cry baby
