Laminated shingle repair

[@TheDeuceAAA]

I’ve replaced several shingles exactly as you demonstrated in your video and it was very easy. Thank you very much for sharing this information. It easily saved me a few hundred dollars.

[@BacktotheBasics101]

That’s awesome Steve, glad I could help. You stay dry now you hear.😃 thanks for stopping by and saying thank you. Happy trails Luke

[@martharagland2191]

Hello Mr. Luke. I am a new Property Adjuster, I have a my first roof claim pending for me to scope, maybe tomorrow. I went online to see what tips I could get as a reminder on how to properly scope Wind/Hail roof damaged and some how, (God) I ran across this video. You was very detailed and I learned a new way to loos the shingles and a new tool to work with. Thank you so much!!!!. Although I am a little nervous my new career, I feel a better to know that there are genuine Christians around who center their work around God. As a new Property Adjuster, my focus is to perform all my claims assignments with God in the center. That's who I will be working for when I start getting claims. Thank you much.

[@brandoncuts82]

Thanks Captain Luke and thanks Warren for the steady hand. God bless

[@alexkowalenko3672]

This video was amazingly helpful, simple to understand and easy to follow.

[@zeeratus8504]

Thanks for a video, Luke! We get high winds here in eastern Canada very regularly as well, and any tips from an expert can go a long way! Thanks again Luke!

[@BacktotheBasics101]

Your welcome Matt. Hopefully it helps you in the future.

[@elieagle9299]

Thank you Sr for this explanation, I’ve been replacing shingles in my house often and always had trouble with the spine top part never taught about storm nails, ( high winds in Kansas area ) I am getting better at this, maybe I’ll do it for living 👍🏻

[@jcmoye1]

Love your video in Christ John!

[@russemerson1358]

Just finished replacing three shingles and noticed a couple of the shingles under the ridge cap need replacing too. Thanks for showing me how to do it (We get 70 mph winds here in southern NM so those storm nails should help) (The previous repair guy only used three nails! And no cement)

[@karenthompson1498]

I am widow of 3 months and this will help me repair my roof and save me money! Thank-you!

[@BacktotheBasics101]

I am very sorry for your loss ma’am. I hope you never have to repair your roof. I can’t imagine what you’re going through, We never know what tomorrow holds until we pick our heads around the corner and see it. I will pray for you, the Lord gives you strength to go through this hard time. Luke

[@adamjones5563]

I'm a lucky man to be shown how to do it by an expert who takes pride in every nail. Thank you, God bless

[@BacktotheBasics101]

[@jessecussins1444]

Thanks for the tips, installing a roof on a shed and learned a few things here.

[@ricardowilson3650]

thanks for making it easier for me to fix my roof you have saved me thousands of dollars

[@Swath700]

Just did some shingle repair for on my detached garage. It was my first shingle work and wish I had seen this first. Several good tips that would have made the job easier. Overall, it is not a difficult process, but the tools and techniques demonstrated here would have helped overcome the learning curve and achieved a better result. Just ordered a wonder bar!

[@TheDeuceAAA]

Thank you for a very helpful video. I have several shingles to repair, compliments of Hurricane Florence. I’ve never done this before but I’m going to give it a try. I’ll let you know how it turned out.

[@EEShoeBox]

Awesome info. Can u do one with cheap GAF 3-tab shingles that just can’t handle the wind and started flapping and ripped. How to do preventative maintenance of glue down

[@toddpatrick7695]

This video takes the mystery out of shingle repair. I will refer to it when needed, thanks.

[@BacktotheBasics101]

+Todd Patrick That's kind of why I put the video together, it seems like a real big deal to most people but really is not it's just patching shingles together. Thanks for your encouraging words. It really does keep us moving forward. If you have ideas for future videos please let us know. Luke

[@ProTecElectric]

Thanks for good tutorial. God Bless you.

[@craftyha]

I'm in the middle of the same type repair now. And got stuck at the vent. This video came JUST IN TIME.

[@BacktotheBasics101]

I’m glad I could help, with the money you saved doing the repair yourself take your family out to eat for me.

[@yveshenry1978]

This was my exact situation. I thought I had to remove the whole ridge cap. Thanks so much, you saved me a lot of work and money! I wish I was in the US because I would also get some of that grass fed beef :)

[@BacktotheBasics101]

I’m glad to help you. Where exactly are you from Joe? And thank you for dropping by am leaving to comment it means the world to us. Happy trails Luke

Enjoyed the video.

[@josesimental3748]

Thanks for the help sir!!!

[@phillipgroom9187]

Very job, very nice. New to the channel. I have enjoyed watching the videos, keep it up . Thanks.

[@byron2521]

I didn't make jack!...lol. Because I am doing my own roof and not getting paid. But, because i am doing it myself, that is why I am watching your video. I was especially interested in seeing replacing singles at the ridge. I haven't seen any other videos on replacing ridge singles. I didn't know about storm nails either. Thank you.

[@BacktotheBasics101]

I’m glad I could help, but actually it did make you money because it saved you money. Thanks for dropping bye and saying thanks. Stay dry

[@royjenkins3880]

Good job .

[@firemanrob1988]

Thank you for this video! I have several shingles with broken tabs needing to be replaced...home owners insurance inspected the roof told me if I didn't replace em they were gonna drop me by july 10

[@ehsanrehman8617]

easy to follow helpful instructions. appreciated

[@thatdamguy00]

Thanks for the detailed video. Getting screwed by my insurance company so I am going to do the repairs myself then take my wife on a mini vacation with the insurance money. PS Insurance adjusters are just the worst.

[@eddyrobichaud5832]

Thank you Soo much it gave me confidence to do it 👍

[@ckuiper7332]

just what I needed.,. FEAR of going upon the roof is not much more than (False Evidence Appearing Real).,. I had a few courses some off in NY storm 2/25/19 @ 1:30; we have 3-5" snow coming and had to do something, was not enough for an insurance claim. Your video is inspiring and I dig the get off your duff and get up there and get'r done! thanks! Ck

[@derekdaugherty3611]

[@naps3386]

Want to take more than just the glare off the nails? After you put the tar, take two smaller pieces of shingle and rub the sand sides together over each tarred nail head to sprinkle colored granules onto the tar and make the nails heads “disappear”

[@brandonb2962]

Wish if would’ve read this before my tar dried up lol

[@edt5276]

Wind noise is very annoying, but great, efficient use of video time!

[@BacktotheBasics101]

Sorry about that wind noise.

[@tqtruong8077]

Thank you.

[@whitechris720]

I liked the video a lot. I just want to add, as a person in business for himself this is a job I would probably pass on. $200 for the liability to climb on your roof, repair it, clean up, and stand behind your work. Don't expect someone for hire to do this for $200.

[@BacktotheBasics101]

When this video was made $200 was a lot of money, if a person schedules 5 to 6 of them a day once a month or so it’s still not a bad day, especially for then. My service call now is 375, so if a person scheduled 3 to 6 per day it’s not about living at all. It’s good filler work. Thanks friend, appreciate you watching the video and dropping by. I do agree with you by the way as well.

[@brandonduncan1706]

Any visable nail is prone to leaking. Caulk doesnt last as long as the shingle will. I would never face nail, or "storm nail" like that. But hey if it works for you then so be it.

[@BacktotheBasics101]

In North Dakota we get 80 mile an hour winds very regularly. On ridge cap particularly out in the country with no windbreak such as trees or whatever, most roofers that are native to North Dakota will put a store mail on all ridge cap and on the edge of the roof. I have been shingling for 34 years now and I have never seen a face nail leak. But it probably could I suppose. Thanks and happy trails Luke

[@taborjohnson6100]

Thank you sir!

[@BacktotheBasics101]

+Tabor Johnson Hope it helped

[@TomorrowisYesterday]

So what did you do to fix the busted cap shingle? Tar the crap out of it?

[@alvarocisneros8225]

You also remove the ridge cap like in this small repair and forget about storm nails still good repair

[@kennyw871]

The large white printed material over the video while it was running made it difficult to see the details. otherwise a great video-thanks.

[@BacktotheBasics101]

I think you’re the third person to say that, I think you’re right. My newer videos don’t have the printing all over the page. Thanks for the advice. Luke

[@nicka8130]

Dude! That white printed material was braille for those who can't see. Try using your hands.

[@jonlee09]

Why all the unrelated text? Can't see the nail line because "the door to success" quote is blocking it!

[@BacktotheBasics101]

Jonathan, this was one of my older videos. The concept was not to show great detail on how to patch a roof, but to give people the encouragement that they could do this was my real goal. The text was related the door to success does have a label on it, it says push. People complain that they don’t have money, that’s because they pay people to do what they could do if they pushed. Some people don’t make that much money in a day to pay a roofer to come and patch the roof. So the quote is very relevant. I figured if people didn’t know to put a nail in the nail line they probably shouldn’t be on the roof much less on a ladder. I have since changed the videos so not as much text. Thank you for being kind and bringing this to my attention. I do appreciate it Jonathan. I hope this video did help you even though it had too much text on it. Stay dry Luke

[@ShandeleReynolds]

Back to the Basics 101 I don't have the money to even buy the shingles. I got screwed over by a contractor in '08. And my shingles blew off shortly after. And it has leaked ever since. Your gibberish isn't helpful. AND your video is so confusing.

[@BacktotheBasics101]

Sorry I couldn’t help you. This video has helped hundreds of others. Sorry you couldn’t make sense out of it. I’m sorry you had a bad experience with a contractor. happy trails Luke

[@adamjones5563]

Really? Your a special kind of stupid

[@nicka8130]

Try looking behind "the door", if you want success finding the nail line Jonathan. Come on Jonathan, even I know that.

[@kevinheatcoat2190]

That Wind Is So Friggin Annoying.

[@TomorrowisYesterday]

So am I bad person if I don't?

[@danielk8926]

As a professional roofer for last 30 years this guy is so wrong. Carefully remove and preserve existing cap. Take out all damaged shingles. Install to factory spec. Face nailing is an acceptable temporary repair. Emphasis on temporary. If you want to make it an ugly permanent repair put a dab of tar under shingles directly under each face nail location.

[@BacktotheBasics101]

You are correct, this is a temporary repair. That will probably last the life spanned of the roof. In fact I know it will, I have almost 40 years of experience with Roofing in the same area. Is it it is what I do professionally. We have tens of thousands of happy customers and a waiting list of customers that wait for us up to two and sometimes three years. Most years we put on anywhere from 10 to 20,000 square per year. Steel and asphalt primarily. There are many ways to skin a cat. Stay dry Luke

[@mgoodell76]

I'm SO confused. You can just toss a nail anywhere there's 2 layers and no leaks? This goes against everything iv learned.. How? Why do nails UNDER the shingles leak then??

[@BacktotheBasics101]

Watch the end of the video.

[@watkinsdb]

For the most part I liked this video. Here's the rub, especially if you're DIYing this. You penetrated the water sheeting surface where $1.50 max of modern adhesive would have held that shingle down up to 50 mph winds minimum (if you didn't weight it down until cured, which would increase its resistance to directional wind). Yes a nail will resist water penetration to a point, especially after environmental heat adheres the asphalt to it, but it's 2018 (as of your reply to this person's comment). We have far superior roofing methods to our forebears. For the love of The Savior, three tab shingle is almost extinct. The first roof I "helped" put on 20 years ago was three tab (I moved things from one place to another, because they didn't trust me to drive a nail yet.) Guys, you're doing a good thing here. Don't taint it with hubris. mgoodell76 has valid concerns, and it would have been acceptable for you say either "I don't know, let me find out..." or to explain your order of thought. Part of this whole thing is humility and thereby gaining wisdom. That's why I watch so many videos and read so many articles about this craft. One simply does not know what they don't know. Yes, I'm rebuking you. You're wrong as far as the depth of human knowledge is concerned on this subject. You went a step further to assume that this person hadn't watched the video through. That's not right. You're definitely not going to see an RCV check from your insurance company if they inspect a repair done that way. Nor will the shingle manufacture honor a warranty on a repair done that way. I'm disappointed. Nothing more to say really, other than "drop your pride for a bit."

[@ShandeleReynolds]

Donald Watkins OMGOSH SHUT UP!! I'M TRYING TO FIND A VIDEO TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX MY ROOF. NOT LISTEN TO A BUNCH OF (CRAP) THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!!!!!-

[@jcook8191]

Who doesn’t need nails in their tires?

[@dylankeglovits9671]

why not take the ridge caps off and nail it all correctly instead of face nailing and relying on tar or caulk to be superior to proper nailing

[@BacktotheBasics101]

The customer wanted a temporary fix, to save money. We are redoing the roof. This fix will last probably for another 10 or 20 years. But we could do it the way you’re saying and that would be a good way.

[@MrTheduke504]

LOOKS TO BE DONE CORRECTLY: From someone who is a "professional amateur" in all forms of construction- after watching about 12 roofing videos, this video instruction seems to clearly illustrate how to correctly patch an asphalt shingle roof. And i've defintely seen a few videos that did not bother feathering the roofing shingles where they "Racked" or Block Stacked the shingles. This video is not that. From what I can tell, the only thing this video did not cover is how to fix the nail they hammered through.

[@chuzzrocket]

Dude, the constant text, seriously. Great instruction but we don't need the constant reminders on money saved. The visual process is way more important. But thanks for the video.

[@BacktotheBasics101]

Thanks for the advice, it was one of my first videos and I kind of overdid it with the text.🥴 Happy trails and stay dry.

[@Lorax_Tribe]

I respect your comment, "I expect Jewish people to act like Jewish people..." but they are not to learn roofing or share roofing videos with non-christians? This is taking you way out beyond defending your religion and has become about something else. You said an insensitive thing, and you should just take it back, not pretend an attack on your religion.

[@BacktotheBasics101]

Thank you for your opinion. I’ll just keep my opinion and you can keep yours. I’m not telling you how to think, I told you how I think . I was taught tolerance, for everyone’s believes. That doesn’t mean I believe what they are saying, but I don’t tell anybody how to act or how to think. Have a great day.

[@Lorax_Tribe]

@@BacktotheBasics101 No. Your opinion is intolerant and I won't keep it to myself. Also, I am going to spread your video to all the non-christians I know, who will learn roofing against your wishes.

[@BacktotheBasics101]

Lorax Tribe This video is for everybody. I don’t understand why you’re being ornery, Nowadays there are a bunch professional trolls out there, that obviously have nothing better to do than to heckle people that are simply trying to help people by teaching them how to fix the roof. Oh well whatever floats your boat. Happy trails Luke

VERY BAD QUALITY OF REPAIR!..IT IS GOOD FOR US REAL ROOFERS. GAVE US WORK.

[@BacktotheBasics101]

OK looking forward to your video.

[@wrenchgearsadventures]

I couldn't get past the first 2 1/2 mins of this video because of all the writing you plaster across the screen. You're telling me to look at what you're doing, but I can't see anything because of all the writing. Then as soon as it goes away, you plaster more writing on there. Forget it, I'm done....

[@BacktotheBasics101]

You’re correct. You know I really don’t get paid for these videos or not very much. So sometimes it seems like a good idea to do what I am doing on the video editing and it turned out it wasn’t a good idea. I just assumed the people kind of understood what I was doing, I should not have.

[@kennyw871]

Was this a repair video or sermon? Be a good Christian, that was a completely unnecessary comment and what does it mean? Is it OK to be a good Muslim? OK to be a good Jew? How about a good atheist? What utter BS.

[@BacktotheBasics101]

You’re welcome for the free how to video, I hope it help you repair your roof and save you money. Each one of these videos takes me maybe two or three hours to edit. I was taught as a Young Christian man, to have tolerance for everybody, I love everybody. I have Jewish, Muslim, atheist, Amish, Mormon, non-Christian, gays, lesbians, & nonbelievers all as friends. I don’t agree with them on many different things but I love and respect them as people, do I get mad at them for doing what they believe is right in front of me? Absolutely not! It’s a free country they have a right to do anything they want to as long as there’s not a victim in a crime. So for you to get mad at me for being a Christian speaking about being a Christian is utter nonsense and you really need to get over it and stop wearing diapers and drinking warm milk! super sensitive people go nowhere in life! And you are being way too sensitive. I expect Jewish people to act like Jewish people, and you should expect Christians to act like Christians. And us as Christians love people and we would never want anyone to go to a Devils hell... so therefore we would try to witness to anybody we could. It’s called tolerance. I don’t know you but I love you my friend. Stop being so sensitive. You’re welcome for the FREE how to video to Save YOU money for you and your family. Luke
