Roofs are essential to the structural integrity of your home. As a homeowner, you may understand their importance but be unsure of how to take care of it to ensure it holds up as intended. Over time, roofs will become damaged, and unless you make the necessary roof repairs, they will eventually fail and cause all sorts of problems. If you’re looking to perform your own repairs, then this video is for you.
In this video, you will learn how to replace or repair missing shingles on your roof.
Asphalt shingles should be relatively easy to replace. The video will explain the tools you need. Most importantly, you will need a crowbar to help you pry up the shingles without damaging them. Be sure to pry up the shingles all around the damaged ones. Then use your flat bar to lift the nail holding it in place. This will allow you to remove the shingle and replace it with a new sheet. Nail back into place and also nail back in the top shingles that you previously pried up. You will then want to seal up the bottom seam with roofing sealant.
