Thank you for sharing this, friend. It always amazes me when people like you can so easily hang out on a roof, even repairing one. I get up on a roof, and I'm like a deer caught in the headlights! lol It's good to know you're not as brave as you appear. lol Stay safe! Peace and Love to you and yours!
Thank you Mark for your expertise. A big branch came down and when it hit the electrical wires to the house it bent the electrical pipe on top of the electrical meter and tore the trust away from the house. Thanks to you now I know how to fix it. Thank you so much bro. Keep up the good work. Kudos
Mark, I loved this video. It perfectly showcases your gift with for construction. Your explanation of the process was beautifully done. Bravo, Sir! Bravo!
I can 100% a test to the gutters just purchased the home we were renting it's 115 years old and no gutters on the side with all the bathrooms and sinks and it double whammied the foundation and roof walla everything was sinking, we are half way done jacking up the foundation putting beams ect. It's now having to be fixed bottom first then up. There is cause and effect for everything. But what I also found is do it all your self lol it's just time but the money saved if you have any help or experience is so worth it a 50k quoted job cost us very very little at this point just time and wood we already had
I’m not a handy man by I put my own gutter up this summer so I could build a flower bed for my wife and it’s awesome!!! Watched TH-cam for a couple of days on it and was like yea I can do that! Lol can’t we all!....
The way you Explained the process was to the point & simple. Other video's it's as if their speaking another language with word's related to roofing that I totally do not understand... But you said it well... Thank You So Much!
Thats what i thought too. I saw him put the drip edge over the tar paper and came here in to the comments to see if anyone else noted that. Pretty sure he did it wrong. My dad did it like this guy and there’s leaks all along our soffit which has ruined our ceiling. Been watching repair videos as im fixing this right now and everyone else makes a point about putting tar paper over the drip edge. When snow melts, water sits and potentially backs up underneath unless the tar paper is over from my understanding.
My chalet which is super hard to climb.. is so screwed. I am a 33 yr old woman broke so in process of learning all I can to fix our roof (mother and myself). Already have mastered car part rebuilds. Thank you for your information because this is similar to ours but whole roof .. really need replacement but with so many leaks I can only do patching.
Pinkmeowmix, A satellite dish , supports left nontarred where support is bolted through shingle, felt tar paper & into plywood rotted several feet from dish strut. I replaced structure wood & paid for Copper Napthenate pressure treat pine plywood. The Shingle process looks possible; how to have the alternating finished contrasting shingle bottom up is something I have to practice. & learn.
@@cintowin Three stages you might have are solid structure first, no matter what material of the 3. A long line, attached to tree branch other side of Chalet, can be tied around your waist then knotted . After I hoisted no. 1, plywood w copper pressure treat in 3/12 ( .25 tangent from trigonometry) up w block and tackle, it was covered. A little rain made surface very slippery. I use a line from sailboat mainsail sheet. No. 2 is synthetic felt or older tar paper ? Just ask where you buy patch material. 3rd are 3 tab shingles. You understand process of 4 or 6 nail ? Wish you'd help me with the stairstep 6, 12, 18 in., 24 in. , 30 in. length after snapping chaulkline. This Florida Room roof area to reshingle has vertical straight shingles cut away where I fitted the 4 x 8 ft. x 1/2 in. lengthwise vertically. Wondering how to slip under existing shingles both sides for 20 ft. vertically, starter shingles turned upside down on bottom 1st row.
just curious so i know im not being taken advantage of. on a 4x8 section of rotten wood that needs to be replaced. what would be a range to take out the rotten wood, new plywood, tar paper and shingle. the damge is down near the gutters which got severely clogged with leaves and debri. I suspect the water backed up and damaged it.
A roofer would have gone to the trouble, and charged more money, to rip off everything up to the top in order to nail the sister board through just plywood and not the shingles. They would claim that doing it through shingles is tacky looking and unprofessional. They would say "we do the job right!" Cause 'right' means profitable, even though your way works fine. No one is looking at the visible nails going through my shingles and I wouldn't care. If a roof isn't leaking, it's serving it's purpose. I guess you're not worried that a nail hole through the shingle will create another leak and cause more rot, just like the one that started this problem in the first place. Better put tar or silicone or something over those nails, ya think?
I had a contractor tell me that the first row of shingles that goes upside down, are covered up completely by the next row, directly on top. Have you ever heard that? They way you did it, the 2nd row of shingles is further up instead of directly on top of the first row.
I am not sure what you are saying. There is a layer of shingles upside down over the osb decking for the first row (alternatively, you can use starter shingles). Then, a regular shingle goes right on top of the upside down shingle so that upside down shingle is not visible. Then, you just continue up with each row of shingles over the roofing paper. The upside down shingle is necessary. Otherwise, the water running down would enter the seams where you butt the shingles next to each other. Now, it just runs onto the upside down shingle and into the gutter.
What kind of saw did you use on the roof to take out the wood, leaving it in a perfect rectangle for the new piece? I'm guessing that a circular saw would have been awkward, and left a ton of sawdust and wood trash all over the floor of the attic. I wish we could have seen that. My roof is too high up and steep for me to do it myself, unfortunately.
Hi ! I really appreciate your video. What kind of blade would you use to cut a shingle? Also, what size staple you using? Lastly, what would suggest I do if the shingle goes around a pipe coming out of the roof?
Is the OSB the exact same thickness as the plywood? If so, what would be their thicknesses if you measured both? If not, that means that one part of the decking will be higher than the other. What then?
In my county, you can repair up to 25% of the roof in a 1 year period without a pulling a permit. My current project, I'm doing just the south side of my roof >33% prior to adding solar, and the whole permit was completed online and was $164.
Can you do a temporary patch work to my roof ?…I have a hole in the ceiling in my room (on the second floor) and rain pours in, and it must’ve gotten worse over the last few days because now I feel a draft of air coming down from the hole in the ceiling….I need some guidance on what to do about this because it’s really bad….. someone please help. I’ll pay you to patch it up. I can’t afford a whole new roof right now.
Very good presentation. What area do you work in? I need that exact work done to my house in Southern Maryland? Do you work this area or have a referral?
If i see some bad leak's on my mobile home roof do i have to replace all the plywood mike im no carpenter im a retired automechanic i live in nachez Mississippi my name is David Holmes Sr
We had a rotten leaking area over our bathroom and roofers replaced decking with particle and whole roof reshingled. SAME PROBLEM. Anyone have a possible solution?
I never understood why do this and keep repeating the repairs over and over and worry about storms . Why just not put solid cement roofs like they do in many places in the world it will last forever, no repairs and storm proof . These houses here in USA are cardboard boxes lol 😂
Depends. In storm prone areas of the Country like Georgia and Florida there are some cinder block homes with bunkered roofs. In South Carolina many coastal homes are on stilts to cope with flooding. I skipped all that nonsense and mosquitoes and live 1000 feet above sea level near the middle of America away from flood storms and fault lines. My house sinks a little each year but the ground is super soft above the Ogalaga Aquifer that's why. 🙋🇺🇲🛠️🇷🇺

Thank You So Much!
I always enjoyed watching "This Old House", definitely enjoyed watching this goodie from a while ago.
I like that you went the extra mile to add the vertical support underneath good on u
Thank you for the Detailed Video. I needed all the info I could get before trying to fix my roof.
About to attempt this right now this video helped alot thank you
How'd it go
This is insane, Mark! Good work.
Thank you! I have to perform this EXACT repair on my home. Truss 1 piece of sheeting and shingles.
Easy to follow and understand. Watching in 2024🤙🏿
Good video, "this old house" your tips really help
Excellent video! I learned something and you are working on a very worthy project! Thanks.
Doesn’t the tar paper go over the drip edge ?????

Not necessarily
@@tylersmith8045 your dad should have watched the video while repairing the roof ,,🤣
The Lowe’s video shows the drip edge on top 🤷🏻♂️. Redoing a shed so I watched a few videos and seen both ways so now I have no clue lol
@@tylersmith8045drip edge is designed to go over felt

Really good explication. Thank alot
You did a good job of explaining this to an amateur like me

Does the tar paper go underneath the old one or just under the shingles ?
Helpful! At first I thought your shirt said "Water's Gonna Hate". Which would be appropriate.
A roofer would have gone to the trouble, and charged more money, to rip off everything up to the top in order to nail the sister board through just plywood and not the shingles. They would claim that doing it through shingles is tacky looking and unprofessional. They would say "we do the job right!" Cause 'right' means profitable, even though your way works fine.

How much does something like this cost to repair?
Just wonderful. Thank you for the information.
DIY for a reason! Not to industry standard but to your own 😅
The pandemic is making me into a roofer 😁😄😅

How did you cut it off??
Hi ! I really appreciate your video. What kind of blade would you use to cut a shingle? Also, what size staple you using? Lastly, what would suggest I do if the shingle goes around a pipe coming out of the roof?
Good Al going to do some of that work ❤❤❤❤❤
Is the OSB the exact same thickness as the plywood? If so, what would be their thicknesses if you measured both? If not, that means that one part of the decking will be higher than the other. What then?
Do you want to stagger the lap for the shingles?
Thanks for making!
Randy Gregory just got reinstated
How much would this repair be nowadays?
Awesome job man
Great! Thank you 🙏👍
How much does that cost
bad, you didn't show the process how you do it, just shot the results.
Awesome work guys
How much do you think roofers would charge, on average, to do that repair, including the sister piece?
How can you tell if there's asbestos or not in the underlayment of roof?
Great video, thank you!
How much did you charge for this? Any estimate? I have roofers coming in who wants to change the entire roof for 5 x 5 roof damage.
Any updates? How much did yours cost?
If you woddle your hips and toss your head side to side you can be Bob Vila!! Mark Vila !!!
Do you need a work permit to repair a plywood patch? Size 5 foot by 5 foot???
No
In my county, you can repair up to 25% of the roof in a 1 year period without a pulling a permit.
My current project, I'm doing just the south side of my roof >33% prior to adding solar, and the whole permit was completed online and was $164.
I was hoping to see the actual repair.

Why didn't you cut off the rotten rafters? Wouldn't they attract termites?
Tar paper goes over the drip edge, unless you're in Florida !!

Lol bleach
Damn what up dad!
Thank you!
I am watching videos trying to see how I can repair my roof since we don't have the money currently.
OSB.. I know plywood costs a bit more, but it far superior to osb.
Didn’t show under or starting removal. Or how you lined up shingles on the edges/sides.
Good video but I wish he wouldn’t have skipped most of the work.
should try tesla solar roof
Y hello Mark Holmes!
We had a rotten leaking area over our bathroom and roofers replaced decking with particle and whole roof reshingled. SAME PROBLEM. Anyone have a possible solution?
Particle board absorbs water and softens ; freeze-thaw crumbles it.
I never understood why do this and keep repeating the repairs over and over and worry about storms . Why just not put solid cement roofs like they do in many places in the world it will last forever, no repairs and storm proof . These houses here in USA are cardboard boxes lol 😂

why you just using 2x4s on a roof? isn't the framing of a roof supposed to be at least 2x6s minimum?
