Finally someone who knows how to do a proper temporary patch on a roof. Bravo. I kept an old roof alive on my house for years using techniques like this. Sometimes you just don't have the money or the time to replace it. You did a good job.
Thanks for the comment! It all comes down to time and money... Glad to be helpful!!
I just had to do this on my roof after getting home from a busy, stormy, Sunday morning just to find a branch impaling my garage roof.
Looks like it'll hold until the proper repairs can be made. Thank you, sir!
Glad to help, it's a pretty quick way to buy you some time until it can get properly fixed.
Perfect. Short sweet to the point and looks like it would be great
My temporary repair held up a long time. Glad you like the tutorial!
nice, very useful video. God's Bless man.
Thanks, my friend! 🙌
This will be my first roof repair that I do myself!
Good luck with it! Safety rule #1, never walk backwards on a roof.
Awesome Info! Looks like just what I need to know to repair a 2 inch spear hole made by a tree limb that punctured my roof above the mbr. Turns out, roofing repair companies get pretty busy right after big storms! Who knew? :-) Seems like this should buy the time needed until a final repair can be made. Thank you very much!
This one held up just fine until a proper repair was made.
Thank you. I did just as you demonstrated. Now we have time to make a better, more informed decision as to how to proceed.
Glad to help and thanks for sharing. 👊
I did a similar repair but your option is much better. I'm going to redo my repair like you recommend in the video.
Perfect temporary quick fix I've been searching for and for this I didn't have to buy any shingles.
You actually kept my wife from going to jail too because she was ready to strangle me over this roof. Lol
Thanks, my friend.
I'm glad to help you and your marriage 😁 Good luck with the permanent repair!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is exactly what I have been searching. The roofers are so backed up and only want to replace entire roofs. No one will do a repair and I've had to use duct tape!
Oh man, I'm glad to help and hope it goes well for you.
Thank you for so for sharing, this is way better than anything else I have seen, it looks much more effective!
You're welcome, thanks for letting me know that!
Thank you so much! I still have to get a real roofer out but now I don't have to stress out about the storm that's hitting tomorrow. Wish I could buy you a six pack sir!
+Markov Chainey This would be one of my favorite comments! I'm so glad to hear that my advice was able to help someone in need. Thanks for the six pack offer!
Wow, saved me a ton of money and gave me the confidence to tackle this myself, thanks!
+Robert Healy Thanks, good luck with your project!
awesome, thanks for making this.
Thank you a lot for a simple fix!!
You're welcome! Glad to help.
hey mark , this helps
thanks for your work
Glad to hear it! Hope the repair goes well.
Thanks!
Great video - gets right to the point. A recent storm punched a hole in our roof and the roofing company is taking a long time to respond. With more rain on the way I hit google for a temporary fix and this came up. I have very little handyman experience but was able to get this done with no problems. Thank you sir for your help!!!
Awesome that this video got you through temporarily. I appreciate your comment.
You are awesome. Thx!
Happy to help!
You saved my life!
Glad to hear that Gary, thanks!
THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!
You're welcome!
Wow thank you😉👍👍
Welcome 😊
Cool
I wonder if it would work as well if you put the metal under the shingle that has the hole Wouldn't be as noticeable as having the large square metal on top of the hole. ??
That may work too. My plan is just to get you by until the weather is decent to get out on the roof or have someone come out and fix it.
Not the way I did it but similar. I cut out heavier galvanized sheet metal the size of the roof shingle, and then coated the metal and then pried up the shingle and coated it underneath with roofing cement , then slid the coated metal underneath the shingle and glued it all down. I then covered the shiny metal showing through the hole in the shingle with roofing cement. This way from the street you can't even tell it, your way the pieces of metal used for shingle tabs stand out like a light house in a storm. If you have some extra shingles you could do the same with undamaged ones and it would never show.
That's.a great idea. Thanks for the advice!
Hey Gary, similar situation happened to my roof. After patching it up like that, what do you recommend for a permanent fix for the small holes in roof?
My permanent repair was using new roof decking to plug the hole. I found a nice product called EZ-Plug Roof Patch. It's a fast way to make a permanent repair. I'll upload my video sometime soon showing how this is done. Once the roof decking plug is installed, then I cover it with roofing felt and then the shingles.

Is this easy to remove when I go in to do a permanent fix ?
Yes, should be no problem.
So what's the proper fix? New decking and re-shingling? How big of an area?
The proper fix is to cut the small damaged area out and fit a piece of new decking in. I put 2x4 material underneath to support it. If it's a big area that's damaged, you may want to replace the entire 4x8 sheet.
We have a hole on the edge of the roof near the gutter from an "incident" today that needs to be fixed. Unfortunately, it's wet (light rain) and 35 degrees out. Can I still do this in the rain? It's Christmas Eve, and I'd really like to get this covered until we can get a professional. Any advice for the wet weather?
Yes if you buy roof tar that is "all weather" rated. You can install it in the rain if need be. Good luck with your project, I hope it gets patched quickly.
You should have applied some sealant to the shingle you loosened above the hole. Other than that great video thanks for sharing... by the way I’m a professional roofer and sent this to my brother in law.
Great advice, thanks for sharing!
Thanks ! Off to Home Depot to get your list! Thankfully it's only about 6 inches hole in roof. 🧰
Hope this helps you get a quick temporary patch. Mine held up for many weeks.
I'm looking at videos like this because apparently last night during someone's New Year's Eve celebration They were shooting into the air And the bullet came down on my roof and into my living Room.
What?? That's crazy!

Roof is about 20 years old. Think this "temporary" repair will last about five more years when I will be replacing the rest of the roof anyway?
I would only plan on this temporary repair getting you through until the next decent weather day. This is only designed for a quick repair, maybe being done in some difficult weather situations. If you need to stretch it out a bit, I recommend going up on the roof every so often to see if the roof tar is holding up. 5 years is a bit too long in my opinion.
Thank You.
Small holes in the plywood underneath. Guess I'll slip some asphalt shingles underneath the small holes from the fallen pine tree and nail them in and roof cement them.
Here's a video showing one easy way to fix the holes in the roof decking...th-cam.com/video/92Hbey0d_7w/w-d-xo.html&lc=z13fht2puvavxpnmx23txtnrksivfpdm1
Wow Thank You !!*****
