I recently fixed the shingles on my house and you was right, I don’t recommend doing it on your own specially if you lack the right tools or knowledge on how to do this kind of fix. Understand shingles can be very heavy which makes it more dangerous working with it on a roof. Not all houses have the same height or shape on their roofs, keep that in mind.

This is much harder to do in cold weather as the shingles are stiffer and don't want to flex. I just replaced 3 shingles on my 6 month old roof because we had hurricane force winds this past winter in my area that shredded shingles, a result of them not having adequate hot weather to adhere. Since the upper shingles didn't want to flex I used a hefty 3" wide chisel laid flat against the new nails so I could drive them in by hammering on the shank of the chisel. I then used roofing caulk to seal them down as seen in this video.

Some good info here, including safety lol. 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...less risk of damaging the shingle below... Thanks!

As someone who has replaced the odd shingle here and there, I hope my story will help someone. TL;DR Your homeowners insurance may cover the cost of a complete roof replacement. After owning my home for nearly 20 years, I knew my roof was due to be replaced. Shingles were getting brittle, granules were clogging the gutters. Over the years, I've replaced the odd shingle here and there, exactly as shown in the video. But in the past few years, shingles were being blown off at a more rapid pace. I did what I could to replace them, but it was hard to keep up and hard to notice newly damaged shingles all the time. I finally decided enough was enough and had several contractors come in to quote a roof replacement. One of the contractors mentioned that insurance might cover the damage. I was completely surprised, since the roof was more or less at the end of its life. I contacted my insurance company, they sent an adjuster out to assess the damage. They determined that since there were multiple areas of damage (I think 4) that they would cover the cost of replacing the roof. I guess they figured that was cheaper than having the roof leak and damage stuff inside the house. YMMV of course, but definitely contact your insurance company before paying to have your roof replaced.

The roofing tar that comes in a tube works great. I mounted a weather vane on a storage building. I put tar underneath the foot of the weather vane and screwed it to metal roof. I had to remove the sheet of tin a few years later to replace a board underneath. I removed the screws from the weather vane and that tar had bonded the weather vane to the metal I didn't even try to take the weather vane off of the metal.

I have looked into ladders but as I am 375lbs the only ladders that can take that weight are fire department ladders which cost thousands of dollars. Only other idea I can come up with is scaffolding. Which is iteself expensive. Any idea's on a more cost effective solution?

Send your kids up. All three of my kids (2 boys and 1 girl) have climbed up our fence and hopped onto our roof multiple times, and as a kid I went on my parents roof several times too. They won't be particularly excited to do the work so I strongly suggest you pay them cash. It will be way cheaper than hiring any handyman and is a good life skill.

Contractors and carpenters require customers to put a deposit for the job, i.e a fence contractor asking for 70% deposit before he can start the job. A closet builder require 50% deposit. A concrete for patio require 30% deposit. But how is this fair to the customer? If things goes south such as delay on the job because the company have to juggle multiple jobs at the same time and doesn't complete the job at promised time and keep on delaying, in that situation what can the customer do? They already took the huge amount of deposit. It's so frustrating, and hard to find a dependable contractor that doesn't rip you off

I’ve lost track of the number of shingle roofs I’ve replaced or help others replace. My dad taught me as a kid replacing our own roof. If you’re of average hand/eye coordination wear proper footwear, use common sense and move with attention to your footing especially when near the edge this is completely doable. This tendency for today’s adult to hire out everything is just pathetic.
