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!
😊
You ain't said nothing. Man I've seen so many people who talk like they invented the wheel, yet they put the peanut butter & jelly on the outside of the sandwich when it comes to application.
@@iceebalboa3177 My "application", reality, etc... (whatever you want to call it) from this homeowner of 43 years was 100% successful thanks to the advice of this channel. Flawless advice - 100% success hands down! Anyone who tries to diminish that is doing exactly that (trying). Enjoy your odd peanut butter sandwiches.
Thank you
I've been a builder for many years and have seen quite a fair bit of sheds. The plans in ryan's package ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxB7IXYxLzb_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 a very wholesome comment.
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!
Glad this helped! Best of luck.
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.
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 .
Thank you. Lot of roofers on here not liking you helping others.
Someone showing a man who has a do it himself attitude and mindset has nothing to do with it. That man was going to repair it regardless.!
Outstanding. Thank you! Gives me confidence to fix my section of roof
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
This is very informative and helpful tutorial. Thank you very much.
Cool dude 😎 getting ready to patch some shingles on my roof. After watching I'm super confident. Actually looking forward to it!
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.
I'd reccomend brush on roofing tar, typically used to seal old chimneys, which is exactly what we used it for, but it can be used for fixing loose shingles and holes in shingles aswell, you just brush on a good thick coating and once it drys it forms a rubberized kind of surface and seals water tight, much easier and cheaper then a lot of other ways and honestly more effective

Thanks for that recommendation. I'm going to try that.

Thanks. I need replacement some shingles in my old house. This is a very simple and good explanation. Special the matching tip.
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.
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.
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 sharing 🙂. Great tutorial and easy to follow. So informative and wonderful tips.
Cool from Oklahoma City,I am working,last year no More,2018 ,god bless this job
Thank you!!! This is VERY HELPFUL!!! Great tips!! Simply and clearly stated! Great!!!
Thank you for such a great video explaining all this.
Best video I have seen to show how to replace shingles.
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.
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?
This really helped me and I’ve done roofs before, but I bought a farm and have a leak in my workshop. Thanks .
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.
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.
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!!!!
Tim Kreamer so..as a professional..u noticed the shingle he replaced was NOT BUTTED UP TO EXISTING SHINGLE? That doesnt matter? Shoddy trade craft. He is obviously an office boy. Talks a lot but cant DO THE WORK professionally.
@@chrisbrown3549 wow you should be a trim carpenter because this guy did a great job, he went above and beyond
This was a very big save for me. Thank you 10 times. Keep doing this for people like me.
Glad it helped!
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.
Good video. Right to the point and not a lot of filibuster.
Perfectly helpful. Thanks for the video.
Focus only on things you love, feel love, and you will experience that love and joy coming back to you - multiplied!
Congrats, this was the first DIY video for home repair that I have seen on UA-cam with the full and correct info, no matter what the subject. You my friend are a pro, thanks.
Thanks. I'm learning before hurricane season.
Thanks for the walkthrough and advice.
Thank you for making this feel like a manageable task ❣️😌
Good luck!
Thanks.GOOD EXPLAINED.
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 .
Definitely a great video and some helpful idea's.
Thank you....
Amazing video, thank you so much!!!!
very informative, thanks
Good information
Thanks this really helped
Great info.Thanks
Why am I watching this. I’m 15 and don’t own a house.
Hopefully one day you will, and anything you can learn to do to repair and maintain your investment will save you money and the possibility of less than professional contractors who would not do as good of a job as the person who owns the property. In addition, there is the satisfaction that comes from doing it yourself, especially when you do it correctly.
Glad you watched it. I replaced shingles and still have a leak. Checked here to see if I missed something.
Lol I'm in the same boat
I second Mike Delong's comment. I'm 35 years old & I'm taking the time out of my day to consult UA-cam b/c I don't know how to do the trades, correctly, the 1st time. I plead with you, fill the remainder of your teenage years learning how to repair a house & a car & you will save yourself tens of thousands of dollars when you own a home. I bet you watched the video b/c you are like the rest of us, you like to work with your hands & would enjoy the satisfaction of a job well done.
It's good to know someday you might fix your roof or work construction
At some point you will..
well done amigo!
I like your teaching . Well done ∞❤ly
Great video!
Great tips. Thanks 🙏
Great job señor THANK YOU!
thanks for this - awesome tutorial!
Useful information Thank you
Thank you for the tip on roof repair. Ill be trying my hand at a repair soon. What is the name of the sealant?

Good job👍
Thanks for sharing
Thank You !
Needed to replace one shingle, by the time I was done I had a new roof..🕴
junky9 🤛🏾🤛🏾💪
I'm dead af I'd do the same thing bro🤣🤣
Try removing wide crown staples from the shingle. For the longest time lots of roofers used staples.
I hope John C Reilly plays this guy in the movie version if this how-to video.
Like the video. Maybe sow the bad shingles as a different color just to clarify the difference. Just a thought.
what kind or brand of sealant you are recomending..thanks
Good video! Thanks 😊
Glad you liked it!
Thank you sir good info
Thanks chris
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
that protip at the end is exactly how the most of those repair guys workers do it too and then they up charge LOL
Excellent.! Thumb up >!
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.
Don Hanson pretty sure the manufacturer recommends 5 for their warranty no matter where you are.
I was just going to say I've read on almost every shingle bundle minimum 5 nails in each other shingle. .
4 nailing is hack shit and his pattern is wrong too. This whole mock section was butchered. Only time it's acceptable to four nail is on 3 tabs. Otherwise,
*• •• •• •* or *• • • • • •*
Thanks for that!☯️☮️
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.
Yep. If you replace with a lighter than original shade, the replacement will eventually fade and mismatch in the future.
Thank u!!!!
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.
I just did this, and was thinking my neighbors were judging me
Thanks a lot
Thank you
wish my first house was as big as the one he is working on.
Gavin Pickens lol

...and I wish I could just stroll over to the roof on my current house and start replacing shingles! LOL
Great video - what kind of sealant should I use? Is there a special roofing sealant or can I use silicone? - thanks!
Just give your head a shake and some roof tar might fall from between your GD ears.
Way to be helpful to a new-comer. Hope you aren't a father.
Good question. I didn’t want to use a strong glue, in case more repairs were needed. I’m thinking DAP 10.1 oz. Black Waterproof Roof Sealant would work well. What did you end up using.
I've used basic roofing tar in a caulk tube to seal down very old loose shingles and it has worked very well. Never found a need for expensive products to just reseal shingles. Now if you are sealing around joints and gaps where expansion and contraction is an issue, I would go with a more quality product. Otherwise you will be resealing it every year.
m1. It’s the best
Great show. Good advice. Thank you.
What type of sealant should be used between the shingles?
What kind of sealant are you using to glue it down?
~ What make of sealant would you recommend?
Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
Very helpful! Thanks!
Thanks.
Thanks
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?
TheRedMarker5713 use the same style shingle. 😉
Yes like you said just use 100% silicone and it will work but won't look good
For old shingles I found that using a "nail puller" I could get the nails out without having to go underneath and pop them up, for what it's worth... Damages the shingle less :)
Use mule stick flap bar to break free on nails on the broken and replace.
en la Vida real es UN poco mas complicado pero asi SE Hace.
Thanks learn new things
I've heard that one should not apply a continuous bead of glue along the bottom edge of the shingle as any water that might get underneath will not have a path to flow out. Instead, glue should be applied in spots roughly the size of a Quarter.
We have a 12/12 pitch here in Georgia on most house , sucks cause can barely make repairs
Hay a friend of mine got in some trouble down there and found himself in prison then a pig farm for the end of his sentence . he told me about his buddy from the farm . this guy parks his truck in front of house to do a repair on the back of house . ties a rope around his waste then ties the other side to the truck . climbs up and starts repairing .his wife goes out and hops in truck and takes off . 12/12 mind you . up and over the peak he goes lands in front yard and dragged to the street . he heals after 8 months his roofs still leaking . his wife says roofs still leaking . that's how he went to prison then the pig farm . could you imagine
@@lrhcconrad2230 Best UA-cam story ever.🤣🤣🤣
@@riverraisin1 true story
My man looks like Bill Burr and Norm MacDonald's lovechild
So true lol
#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!
You can replace just part of the shingle but considering how inexpensive and easy it is to replace the whole shingle, I'd encourage you to do that. It's basically the same amount of work and you are going to be left with a better repair. Those crack you see are wind damage- the shingles are getting lifted up during a high wind and creased. You can just glue them down but, again, it's nearly as easy to replace them completely so that's what I'd encourage you to do. Unfortunately, this is a classic sign that your roof is wearing out and you'll continue to see this sort of damage until you replace it.
Best of luck!
Thank you for the advice. I was thinking partial shingle, since I only have a few spares left . I brought a sample in to Lowes yesterday and was told they no longer make my color. Again, it is on the back roof, so it would not be seen by anyone, but I would rather not buy new ones unless needed.
On 3-tab roofs, we only install single tabs where possible. The reason for this is that one tab of a different color will not stand out as much as 3 tabs in a row that are new. This is the only downside of replacing the full shingle, otherwise, I agree with Roofing Intelligence.
wayne lynch, I think its time for a new roof. When I replaced my roof, I had a metal roof installed with a lifetime warranty. I never have to worry about shingles again.
Read the instructions on the package the shingles called for 6 nails per shingle .
The shingles I bought to replace some during a repair have the instructions on the package and it says 4 nails. These are 3 tab asphalt shingles.
boomer spotted
thankyou
Thankful. 😀😀😀
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
They may be glued down but I'd think with enough force they'd come out. You can cut shingles pretty easily with a razor knife so you could just cut them out if needed.
Putting the ceiling glue right across the shingle could cause problems could Block in water and cause for freezing so maybe just a couple dabs or make sure that you leave some space for the water to escape putting a bead across like that it's not good for a climate with lots of rain or humidity
I want to see you in the heights if there is very easy so standing anyone up I want to see you do it
Bro what are you saying
