Roof wind damaged missing shingles - shingle repair uncut

Roof Leak - How to find and fix a Roof Leak. This roof leak was do to wind damage the owner said. The roof overall was in good shape. It just had a couple missing shingles. The insurance adjuster that came out put a very small piece of tarp over the two missing shingles, but the tarp was not tucked under the shingles allowing rain under it.
The rain water was coming in under it and down into the hole in the paper then into the attic.
I installed a small piece of synthetic paper and gave him a estimate for repair.
Shingle repair uncut from start to finish. This repair was a couple weeks later.

I saved this video ages ago just in case. Just in case arrived. I rewatched this video, made a list, went to the building supply store and fixed my roof. I’m female, approaching retirement age, lifelong desk job - and I repaired my own roof for $108. (I already had the shingles.) I am eternally grateful.

[@tororoycorpuz5181]

Wow! Bless your hard-working soul!!

[@markmontagano]

Good Work! Maybe the not so good roofers will learn from your videos.

[@craig2548]

Sorry to say my sister has no income. She is 61 & disabled and lives far away. She is selling off belongings to raise enough $ to buy supplies to repair the massive roof leaks. Your videos will help her a lot, Thank you for your videos!

[@livingaboard]

She needs to sell her house. When you get to the point you can’t afford to do repairs and maintenance it’s all down hill from there and her house is going to fall into disrepair

God bless you all

[@oscarramirez15060]

I do roofs all year long & can say this guy knows what he’s doing , judging by experience 👍🏽

[@mevinkoser8446]

I run service for a roofing company. Mostly commercial flat roofs but I get shingle repair regularly. I also can cosign this work. Personally I prefer rp400 to seal the shingles as it's an asphalt product. Also, I strongly recommend the pac tools roof snake instead of a flatbar.

[@jeffmallery4931]

Finally a real roofer, right nail bar, right hatchet, i turned off after seeing both cuz you obviously know what your doing

[@calvinreichelderfer7989]

Even your 2 year videos are good to watch. I always give you thumbs up. Big thumbs up for being a good guy.

[@andrewleiter6969]

I wish more of us contractors took as much pride as the ones out their that really do. Cutting corners is not just bad for business it's bad for the trade thank for doing good work bud

[@GunClingingPalin]

Impressive skill saw handling brother

[@NurseAcrobat]

It's nice to see that not all 10+ year old roofs automatically need full replacement if there is damage anywhere. I appreciated seeing the full process of taking out the old shingle, replacing boards as needed, putting in ice/water, new shingles, and caulking.

[@THEATREGOD3]

Yeah they don't need to but for companies to make their money and to pay for their licenses you absolutely have to pay for a new roof because their minimum amount that they can work for is 3 to 5 Grand here's another Secret some companies higher independent skilled installers I need my label themselves as construction companies what sound more like insurance companies to me when you talk to them the guys they hire are sub contractors

[@tortugajoe735]

Great video, I like the longer format showing the whole repair!

[@theresagraham9368]

Awesome thank you for sharing, As a female this will help me alot to learn about repair work since I can't trust the bids I am getting if I don't understand what they are talking about. You just don't know how much I appreciate your honesty. !!!

I'll probably never have to do roof repair in my lifetime, but for some reason I want one of those hammers like you have. Thanks for the informative video.

You bring back alot of good memories Most dont even know how to use a pro tool,like we do!

[@chadrayburg3021]

What a great video for a novice. I’m no roofer so this video was tremendously helpful. I can’t thank you enough. I was able to do the repair myself and save over $700. Pittsburgh and Latrobe PA thank you very much.

[@CassandraDyer-h9c]

Watching from Ohio, I need to repair my roof in a small area. After watching your video I am confident I can do it!! Thanks soooo much. Your videos are fun and educational.

Watching a guy work on a roof on my day off. Today I realized that I’m an old man

[@shmerd1]

This guy is good, and appreciate him sharing with others. Here's a tip he doesn't seem to know. Put your Sawzall blades in upside down. It makes it so the blade is much closer to the plain of the outside edge of the tool making plunge cuts much easier.

[@tc7518]

Love the hammer...and the attention to detail...and doing things right the first time so you do not get called back.

[@Eastahtata]

Nice to see the detailed videos! Thanks to you and other roofers here I was able to get through my first roof and not make the stupid mistakes that you see so commonly done. (Not that I didn't make any mistakes, I just fixed what I screwed up and made sure the essentials were done right)

[@kellywalker1732]

Thank you for your thorough video. I was able to get a good understanding of what it takes to do a complete repair and do it right. I can now ask my roofer some detailed questions about my much needed repair.

Your first mistake was not taking off the crown / hip cap shingles and working down to roof edge . Also , a bucket to put pulled out nails and trash into . However , you did a great job with the reroof.

prolly has been stated, but that full roof could have been covered fully with a redeck. and you just mentioned it :) as i keep watching

that roof still seems very solid... i don't believe in redoing a roof unless its in bad shape or home owners have money to spare and just want a better roof that can handle the next 150 mph storm....

Perfect. As always.

[@brandonrappuhn4085]

I tried my best to tackle my own roof, had a lot of mistakes that made me have to have it redone. I learned a lot from my mistakes, and learning even more by watching these videos. Hiring your company was the best choice I'd made! Could maybe request a how to of the proper ways to start your shingles, 3 tab, and architecture to where you don't run into rain line (key line?) problems as you advance up the roof?

[@louisbrown2279]

I always hate doing repairs that close to the cap here in Maine shingles suck to fix in the winter period we aren't getting over 70 this time of yr so work starts around 45 50 degrees everyday some roofs nomater how easy you are the shingles just crumble and right now we have so much thermal movement day to night that it tears various parts of a roof to crap standing seam is what I try to do most

[@bryangryder3289]

I’ve seen your roofer investment series but can you elaborate on how you’ve done a lot with a little? Appreciate that long form content too buddy

[@wertz987]

I love your videos. I just had my roof replaced by a reputable company I think. I can't believe all the bad roofs that people are paying for. I have questions first shingles have been around for ever shouldn't there be a one time way to install them and second im curious about the 2×4 decking I have never seen that

[@wertz987]

Dag on lol you like me have relatives from Tennessee

[@aydenlenzi800]

All I wanna do is fix my roof but it to hard I think I have no expersince and idk what a key way is or anything any extra advice u could give to a complete beginner would be amazing nd very appreciated me and my dad do not have the money to get it fixed at all

[@pammaynard9997]

Nice job! You don't have to be a professional, you just have to use common sense and a little bit of aerodynamics . And yes it does apply to water! My deceased husband was a roofer in those times where only big companies had the equipment like nailers. He also used to carry the shingles up on the roof too. They weigh about 80 lbs. My husband's work can still be seen after 45 years. He did a resteraunt with Spanish tiles and they are still on the building! He did many roofs on Seabrook and Kiawah island. Even an executive of Coca Cola. I've repaired my own house and I have to say a good roofer is worth every penny. It is the MOST IMPORTANT part of a home. In my opinion metal roofs are the way to go. It's unfortunate that HOAs don't allow them. Not saying shingles aren't good it just depends on how much you you pay.. btw id like to know if you have a small cut on your vent boot at the top of the rubber that slides over the pipe, is flex tape an easy and somewhat permanent fix? I see where you can buy a rubber gasket to put over one but I just know I won't be able to find the right size one ,if at all, knowing my luck! Or should I just caulk it up with rubberized caulking? The flex tape says it seals out water so, any ideas? Who knew one little v cut could cause it to leak!

[@ncpanther1226]

Just started watching your videos. Any advice on getting over the fear of heights AND the ladder to roof or roof to ladder transition? Gets me nervous. Also shoes. I need a good pair of shoes because the ones I have (Running Shoes) have no grip so I slide. Thanks

[@kenmifsud8008]

Great video do u have one on a valley repair

[@Raz-G]

So quick question im not a roofer but im super interested in the work and you know just in general expanding my knowledge on the profession but, why do you lift up the shingles not where the repair should be? I understand that that the shingles are all layers upon layers but it looks odd.

[@mariovazquez190]

Nice video, i am having the hardest time finding a leak around the chimney even had a layer of roofing done. Been in the attic and cannot find the trail any suggestions??

[@GrandRoofingInc]

Were you in the attic during a decent have rain looking? What do you mean had a layer of roofing done? Are there any plumbing vent pipes in the area? What was the temperature outside, below freezing?

[@mariovazquez190]

@@GrandRoofingInc No that's going to be next move. I didnt like the color of the tile (silver) to go with a tan house, so the county allowed to do an overlay. No pipes , im in California so no freezing temps it just leaks during rain even with the old tile. Thanks for advice makes sense going we have pretty good storms now so in the attic I go.

[@onegoalkeeper]

would definitely use your services nice job

[@roadstar499]

even ply decks have many gaps which basically a lot of roofers end up blowing nails threw or nails are there but have zero hold... when you hand nail you can easily adjust and just put in some extra nails or pull nail and hit higher and lower. the bottom line is,just because a roof looks good from the road it does not mean it was done without mistakes...

[@jorgeestrada3894]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I appreciate your skills. I have a question....the sticky line on the back of the shingle have a plastic on it. Do you remove that plastic prior to install it?
