Have the same amount of wind damage to replace. Local roofers started at $1k minimum to show up. $50 in Home Depot and 30 minutes later, banged it out. Thanks for the refresher, I hadnt done shingles since a summer job in 1996!
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
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.
Appreciate ya. We loss eight shingles during a wind storm. Insurance said its a border line situation which probably means we won't pay. Time to head to Lowes and see if they can match what I have on the roof. Thanks.
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.
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
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.
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.
@@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.
Three shingles blew off my two story roof (looks like the same pitch you were on), and it's been a challenge to get anyone to replace them. I also have a small leak up at the peak somewhere. Everyone wants to re-roof. The roof is 18 years old on an original build. The guy I'm dealing with right now also wants to re-sheathe it, as the boards underneath are slightly warped (he called it "cupping.") But to do that, it would cost a ton, and I'm not sure it's necessary. I spoke to someone who knows about roofing and he said that there is nothing wrong with the boards underneath, as they are not that old, and the warping will be camouflaged with dimensional shingles (I have three tab on there now, a light grey) of a darker shade of grey. Am I being "upsold" on replacing all the boards when it is not necessary? Thank you for your excellent video. I live alone and am trying to learn all I can about roofing at UA-cam University.
Its not Same length because it doesn't match . if wonder if its same manufacturer.Very understandable. He fixed it temp until he was able to do it all. Great idea . working smart
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.
I'm having the same problem, damaging the good shingle on top when I try to separate it from the bad shingle on the bottom. I'm wondering if a guy could use a heat gun to blow underneath the shingle to loosen up the tar enough to where you could wedge some kind of a spatula in there and separate them.🤔
I'm doing a job for someone and I'm wondering how much you would charge for the job you did in this video? Thanks for getting straight to the point in the vid!
Hi. How much would I charge to do this repair? How do you properly remove shingles without breaking them? On some roofs, the shingles are extremely old, frail, and stuck real bad
So I added christmas lights last year and I think it lifted some of the shingles since I can hear them move with anything over 15 mph wind. What can I do? The roof is a few years old. Fairly new.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I have never done home roof repairs before but a wind storm blew some shingles off and the guy wants 600 bucks to repair. What size nails would I use and what is the brand of those tubes of tar? I'll do it myself 🤨
Separating the good shingle from the bad shingle is almost impossible on my roof. It just ends up ruining the good shingle. Wonder if I could use something like a heat gun, blowing hot air between the two shingles so that the tar would loosen up enough where I could stick my spatula or pry bar or whatever I was using between the two shingles. Any ideas from anybody? Thanks in advance.😊
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?
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.
How's she goin'? Corey how do you do it? Using that roof patch and you didn't get any on you... That was amazing!!! Oh yeah, nice job repairing the roof too by the way!!! Take 'er easy!!
I know, I had tar on my gloves and I'm surprised I didn't rub my nose or something 😆. I did get some on my phone though, but I didn't get any on the Canon otherwise my wife would've probably banned me from using it anymore. Thanks for watching Mike.
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.

Roofers aren't cheap. For the amount of time and materials of what a small repair would cost, they come at about the same price as a neurosurgeon.
That slow-mo of the broken shingles being thrown off the roof did it for me. Thanks!
Thanks, I was going to pay someone way too much to do that. Now I'm doing it myself!
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
Now this is a true American. Giving back. I appreciate this very much haven't roofed in 15 years. Thanks for refreshing the memory.

I like that u still include the original sound. It's really windy
Thanks man!
Quick and to the point with out a bunch of blabbering!
You took your time tarred the right places, only thing I would’ve done differently is added more nails! Thanks for the video
😂 the only thing he did right in this video was to use the correct amount of nails for high wind areas. Leave it to a professional
Thanks!
Super helpful and well edited. I’ll follow your techniques tomorrow on my own roof.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing brother. Now I am going to patch up the roof on my house.
Appreciate ya. We loss eight shingles during a wind storm. Insurance said its a border line situation which probably means we won't pay. Time to head to Lowes and see if they can match what I have on the roof. Thanks.

At first I thought I was watching Kevin James and one of his comedy videos you could be his double LOL thank you for the video very informative
Its not Same length because it doesn't match . if wonder if its same manufacturer.Very understandable. He fixed it temp until he was able to do it all. Great idea . working smart
Thanks for video. It was helpful.
Sweet man! Thanks for sharing this 👊
Great job and thanks for showing. Damn Wind got my roof too
Hey thanks for watching and good luck with your repair.
You did a really great job on fixing the shingles B! Thank you!! You are my hero!!! 😍😘
Thank you so much for this video. It is so helpful to me.

Thanks…good quality video. Very useful.
Very helpful! Thank you!
Great video, very helpful. Thanks🤙
Outstanding!!!
Thank you!
Thank you
man, that dude is one fast nailer. bang bang bang.. like light speed. is that experience that makes him hammer so fast?
Great vid

Thanks! On my way to dim
Hi. How much would I charge to do this repair?
How do you properly remove shingles without breaking them? On some roofs, the shingles are extremely old, frail, and stuck real bad
Wind damage of the “ruf”, up here on the “ruf”, love how he says roof!
Lol always gets me everytime
It will do ? What about driving the roofing nails above or below the nail strip it will do.
Great video
So I added christmas lights last year and I think it lifted some of the shingles since I can hear them move with anything over 15 mph wind. What can I do? The roof is a few years old. Fairly new.
I was quoted nearly 2600 to fix about 12 tiles.
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.
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.

Please what brand is the tar?
straight to the point. thnx
How long will this fix be good for?
You would think at least a good number of years. This is basically how roofing in general is done.
Wow! You're almost as fast than an roofing nailer!
Are you supposed to remove the plastic film strip that’s on the back part of the shingle?
Nope, that stays in place.
good job..You sure do nail fast
Weach silicone do you used
how come that 3 new shingle fix would only last less than a year u say? fresh glue and nails should last longer?
I have never done home roof repairs before but a wind storm blew some shingles off and the guy wants 600 bucks to repair. What size nails would I use and what is the brand of those tubes of tar? I'll do it myself 🤨
What is the name of the chaulk you are using.
Well done Corey! It did seem to be cold up there! I hope it last up to the time you redo the roof!
Thanks Joe.
thanks,very helpful
Glad to hear that!
Could you show me what kinds glue do you use?
Looks like typical roofing tar. Just ask for it at home depot/lowes

Why didn't you put tar over the old holes?
cat: MEOW
Texan: RUFF RUFF RUFF!!!
sir, please abide by the shingle specifications and nail on the line
Using roofing nails to prevent leaks?
Good
Is that Henry's?
thanks bud
be sure to use some type of roofing cement to seal the repair to the older shingles.
You used a horizontal bead of tar on the first one but not on the others. Why not?
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?

Whats a ruff?

hey sir i dont think that caulking will dry in time for tonights windstorm
Lol you werent done 🤣 you forgot something 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Pick up a flat bar, exponentially easier.
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.
He says roof instead of roof
ruf ruf haha
Don’t like the idea of the shingle being half inch too short.
Water will get through no matter how close you put them it's the way the shingles overlap each other that keep the water out
Tar. If you don't have Jingles
Man that's ruff
That’s wind damage, if he has quite a bit of wind damage, his insurance will replace his roof. He should have filed a claim for storm damage.
That roof was installed terribly to begin with.
This video didn't explain anything.
Great video
Whats a ruff?
