I just want to thank you for the commentary. That natural way of teaching, and the humility of acknowledging other good contractors and how to find them, is so helpful.
I love how well informed he is, whoever taught him did a really good job, you know you've taught someone perfectly when they're able to teach others correctly
Congratulations. A video worthy of watching. I skipped all the way to the end to see if you would seal down the shingles before you were finished. WELL DONE! DIY'ers, you can watch this video with confidence you will learn the proper way to replace shingles.
When you run a straight bead like that with no gaps in the bead the water will come in threw the key way back up over the underlying shingle leak or become trapped and rot the nails out
Really good diy video! Learned alot of smaller details to prevent additional installation damage. Thanks for taking time to show the less knowledgeable less experienced home owners.
Hey, good video. Very practical tips. Your camera person did an excellent job with the angles and your explanation was clear and simple to follow. Hope you are having a great day.
Hey, my man. Just wanted to thank you for this vid. I have a simple repair to do on my roof and was just looking to make sure I do it right. Very glad I found you. You're obviously a pro and you made everything very easy to understand. Again, thank you.
Greetings from Germany. Technically good repair instructions. What I particularly like is the note that the shingles still have to be glued with bitumen adhesive. (Even if the roof is completely re-roofed). Many craftsmen don't do that and then people are surprised that the roof shows the first signs of damage after just 10-20 years .
There are what I call Dockers'' videos and then there are real ones. Yours is one of the real ones. Thanks! UPDATE: Spent the day on the roof using your technique (wind storm damage). I didn't break one tab. I had a heat gun ready to go, but I didn't need/use it. Mine was laid on with staples but the flat bar seem to work. Needle nose pliers to grab the staples that almost come out helps. I am a bit sore (too much desk time) but feel pretty good about getting it done...right. Again Thanks!
Great video! I’ve got four shingles on my roof I need to replace here in Texas. Went down to Lowe’s and got a pack of Owens Corning Driftwood. Looking forward to getting them repaired now that I’ve watched this!
Great video thank you so much! One missing shingle here in TEXAS deff going to take this video for references clear and cut to the point great front camera skills 🤙🏼🇺🇸🦅
You make it look so easy. The shingles on our roof have been there (16) years and are tighter than a maximum security cell. How do you avoid scuffing asphalt shingles on a hot day? And what are you wearing on your shoes?
My home has 12 yr. old GAF Architectural shingles on a 2:12 roof with Tiger Paw underlayment. The bonding on lead edges of a 3 x 3' area have come loose, allowing lift and a small drip leak directly under the area in high wind/ rain conditions. Will roof sealant/ rebonding repair be enough on those shingles or would it need replacement. 2 contractors (who gave no focus to it) want to redo 240 sq ft. with new. Thank you for the video.
I see y'all repair mobile home roofs, well my mobile home has shingles on it and I thought about going over the top of it with Tin and I seen y'all on here and that you have pretty good knowledge of what I should do tin or keep it shingles original thanks for advice in advance!!!
The hard part is separating the shingles. They can be very hard to separate. Using a trowel, as shown in the video, is a good choice, but sometimes they still won't come apart. Using a heat gun to soften up the adhesive (especially in colder temps), can make the separation easier.
Great Demo... I just lost a bunch of shingles,maybe 200 square feet if i add up all the missing sections..tar paper stayed put and is still in great shape,lost zero nails,just shingles,storm was insane,but only lost shingles on back sections... my roof is pretty old but shingles still are not brittle... i am hoping fema helps me out with supplies... I have done a few roofs over the years,but never repairs... I think i will start on the less damaged areas and hopefully after a few hours really get the hang of it... doing a little at a time will work best for me being in my 60's now... My roof is a 7/12 which is pretty steep,not falling off to me is my main concern...thanks for sharing
Good job. One thing about new shingles, you can't trust the glue strip to hold down the shingles. I always use roofing cement on the leading edges just ike you did. They used staples on my roof shingles, it's a royal pain removing them to replace a damaged shingle strip. I always use roofing nails to replace new shingles. Thanks for the video. By the way I'm almost 74 years old and still repairing my own roof every spring when we get high winds here.
Great..thanks. Why remove nails and loosen tabs three shingles up...I'm confused about that...would think just loosen tabs above the shingle being removed then remove the nails for the damaged shingle....please correct me if wrong.
I have a lot of fun by watching this. I have a couple of naïve questions: why need to build it in this way, layer by layer. What is the purpose? How does rain go? Will flow through both the top and bottom of shingle?
Thank this may be very useful for me. I got a list of things for my insurance company that need done, shingle for my garage roof wasn't one but it needs done. Got any estimate for all things that need fixed both insurance company issues as well as this. Guess I don't have to say but if it's possible for me to fix n save money I'm gonna. With your details explanation I think I may be able to handle. I'm not the biggest fan of heights but this roof is not that steep. Thank you once again. One question.... can I get the product you used for the finishing. Np1 caulking at Lowes or Home depot?
Awesome job showing how to repair shingle. I just went thru Hurricane Ian and had a few ridge shingles blow off. Can you use same process to replace ridges? The shingles are in the middle of the ridge and it seems hard to bend back the ridge shingles to get to nails. Or should I only use sealant?

Best 3-tab repair video, thanks!
That's not even three tab
Best tutorial on the TH-cam on how to do this.

Loved this video brother, you showed lots of knowledge and experience. The way you explained this and broke it down couldn’t have been better 👍

Great repair, the trowel tip is huge.
Thanks 👍 you are an excellent teacher.
I like your teaching, for us DIY's
Glad you like them!
Is it advisable or not to seal the previous nail holes in the underlayment?
Great Job Steve!
I like your Cougar's Paw shoe. Well worth the money. Have a great day n stay cool.
Ok, those boots got grip- Where did u get them????
This was really good only question is are you on every job you sale making sure your crew is doing 6 nails per shingle lol.
Simple and to the point..... Excellent!
Glad you liked it
You make it look so easy. The shingles on our roof have been there (16) years and are tighter than a maximum security cell.
How do you avoid scuffing asphalt shingles on a hot day? And what are you wearing on your shoes?
😅. Hes5 using a roofing roof safe sandals.
Clear and concise, great job. Only thing I still don't know is exactly what calk to use, I'll figure that out. Oh and I subscribed and liked.
use Geocel
If you are doing this in colder weather, will it make the shingles more brittle?
Gracias por compartir tus comentarios
Answered all the questions I wanted answers to!
Just a heads up never good to put caulking across keyway. Will make water travel sideways. Right along the top of that bead. 👌

Thanks for this incredible video, for the final finish, do we use a roof ciment or just a roof sealant?
Gracias from Texas
You are welcome

Drywall knives are perfect . 8, 10, 12, 14 inch knives cut thru tar perfect.
Thank you for your video.
Question: What size of nail for shingle? I heard you said 1-1/4"? Is it a code for all states?
Can you do how to do a vent flashing replacement
Thanks for the comment!
Gracias por ese Gran tutorial de cómo reparar el techo de la casa!!

Good information 👍. Wonder how much is this little fix! Probably toooo much for the work. But overall he knows what to do

Why remove nails and loosen tabs three shingles up...I'm confused about that...would think just loosen tabs above the shingle being removed then remove the nails for the damaged shingle....please correct me if wrong.
Great explanation. Same process for buckled shingles?
Yes, absolutely
great video. How do you repair a shingle that is next to flashing?
Boots were tearing that roof up... I recommend K-Swiss shoes, and not letting your feet slide when it's hot... Great educational video
His wearing cougar paws look them up for made for roofing
Great point!
Cougar paws sir, that's the way to go.
Well explained and concise
Thank you!
Is there any tricks out there to help pry really sticky shingles apart that are aged a bit??
I have a lot of fun by watching this. I have a couple of naïve questions: why need to build it in this way, layer by layer. What is the purpose? How does rain go? Will flow through both the top and bottom of shingle?
Yes, the water will flow over the top shingle and past the bottom
Good job ..men thank u for doing this I will save 500 dollars.that a company was charging me 800
Informative. Thanks !
Attention nails should go where nail zone is at not above- just an observation-your doing a great job
Thanks for the comment!
Good tutorial, thank you.
You are welcome!
Never seen a trowel used to break the tar line, does it always work that sweet?
If the shingles are 5 years old or older, it works like a charm
Nice video! What would you recommend for water seeping in through rusty nails but the shingles are still in tact?
Great video!! Thank u 🥊💯💪🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great job! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
How much do you charge for the repair in your area?
Amazing video, thank you!

Np1 caulking at Lowes or Home depot?
Thanks this will help me a lot.
