    Remember if you're not replacing all the shingles where your tarp is going, don't nail through your shingles otherwise you're just creating more holes for water to get in. Nail the tarp UNDER the shingles you lift up and not in a seam. Nail a 2x4 or something similar to the bottom of the tarp to weigh it down. Temporary fix and keeps holes to fix to a minimum.

      True, for sure, but not always possible. Upon removal, be sure to tar every hole made.

      Yeah if you have a small area like in this video, I recommend just replacing the shingle. Especially if the rest of the roof is in good condition.

      Yes I realized this the hard way and swung the other end of the tarp over the peak.

    Roofers came out Saturday claiming they could fix a 6x8 roof with a slight leak and now it looks like Niagara falls in that hallway! I'm gonna have to climb up there myself and try this because they wouldn't listen to me Saturday. Thanks for the video, I needed this!

      If you can walk up there and identify the leaky tiles, it would be just as easy to replace the damage tiles. This is the simplest most intuitive repair job you can do in your house.

    Thank you. The insurance company wanted us to call a 'professional' that would have charged us a fortune -- and we don't have that kind of money. Doesn't matter if they say they are going to reimburse, the tarpers are going to want their money up front. Going to do this before it rains this weekend!

    This is so much better than covering the entire area in a huge tarp. Large tarps catch wind easily and leave hundreds of nail holes for more water intrusion.

      @@hailorhighwaterroofing By tarping just that one area, you’re admitting that the rest of roof doesn’t need it because it’s not leaking. I mean, it’s great for you. Gives you a lot of business. But it seems like a big waste of resources when you can just replace whatever is damaged and the roof will be good for many more years. But I guess that’s the way they do it and the insurance racket business, so why should I question it? I wouldn’t mind lower insurance rates.

    @qstrian 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Appears to work well on newer roofs where shingles remain pliable. Otherwise, overlay the tarp using one by twos to extend the tarp over the damaged surface. The reason that some roofers overlay from the ridge is that the repair should extend the full length of the ridge.

    Overall you did a pretty good job but if there’s a heavy continuous down pour this is not water proof. One mistake you made is where you installed the tarp under the shingles where those two shingles meet in the middle you did not put the tarp all the way up under that next shingle up. So where those two shingles meet there’s a hole above that tarp. Other than that good explanation and trying to do what’s best for the client.
