    Well done , I would add is the type of sealant to use and not use . No silicone . Osi works and holds strong but , tar products hold up best . Also use 5 nails standard or 6-7 for high wind areas for the metric shingle .

    I could not get the architectural shingles to slide out. Removed the two rows of nails but its like the shingles are glued to the roof.

Thanks

    • @RoofingIntelligence

      They may be glued down but I'd think with enough force they'd come out. You can cut shingles pretty easily with a razor knife so you could just cut them out if needed.

    Four nails per shingle is completely inadequate. Six per /12 per. 12 being the nails above from the shingle above. 110A wind nailing code. Or storm nailing. Nail on each end and 12 inches in on each side four in the middle evenly spaced. For a total of six nails on the nail line. Four nails might look good in a video. But when the homeowner is raking up shingles out of his yard like leaves. You’ll get a bad name and the phone will stop ringing. Spend the extra money on a second box of nails and do it right

In addition, there is the satisfaction that comes from doing it yourself, especially when you do it correctly.

    Very helpful since I am having to do this myself, as homeowner. Reason: contractor crew installation of new roof 7 years ago left me with 4 leaks. Didn't know right away since we were having a drought that year. Then another roofer came and fixed leaks, mostly around vent pipes. Two years later and a lot of rain and now at least two of those that roofer #2 fixed are leaking. He comes back a month later, after 3 phone calls and a letter and fixes one. A week after that it leaks again. When I say leak, it is actually a lot of water. Damaging my walls and ceiling. He doesn't answer phone calls. On his work sheet from the job two years ago, he says 1 year warranty on labor. Great, I pay him a lot of money and the work is two years old and has failed. I guess he figures he's covered since it is past the warranty. What kind of roofer thinks two years is enough for work to last? Called two more roofers. One said he would come tomorrow at ten, didn't come, no word since. Another one wants a thousand dollars, not including materials to fix one vent leak on a low slope roof. So, now I am going on the roof myself, too old and not well. I figure I can't do any worse than he did. And I have to learn how watching youtube videos. Thanks to the people who put them up for us.

    • @AFXGaming
      @AFXGaming 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I'd reccomend brush on roofing tar, typically used to seal old chimneys, which is exactly what we used it for, but it can be used for fixing loose shingles and holes in shingles aswell, you just brush on a good thick coating and once it drys it forms a rubberized kind of surface and seals water tight, much easier and cheaper then a lot of other ways and honestly more effective

    Good advice and nicely demonstrated . Use a grout brush to remove any dirt and debris before replacing the shingle and this is the time to spray some Flexseal or use roofing tar over nails . Roofing tar will hold down shingles and keep them from lifting . A couple bricks will hold down the shingle on a warm day and left for 24 hours .

    • @riverraisin1
      @riverraisin1 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I've used basic roofing tar in a caulk tube to seal down very old loose shingles and it has worked very well. Never found a need for expensive products to just reseal shingles. Now if you are sealing around joints and gaps where expansion and contraction is an issue, I would go with a more quality product. Otherwise you will be resealing it every year.

    If you are trying to replace a shingle ( especially a dimensional ) you almost definitely won't get the shingles apart with a flat bar. After 30 years on a real roof not a mock up roof I can tell you a flat bar will tear the shingle.
    If you use a pointed brick / cement trowel and use a back and forth sawing motion to separate the shingle you will have better results

    Not sure if anyone’s watching this in 2023, but at 2:40 he talks about an improper nailing job where the nails were too high and aren’t holding the bottom shingle down. If this mistake was made on all or most of the shingles. Would that significantly shorten the roof’s lifespan? I just had my house reroofed and it looks like all of shingles were nailed too high.

    • @RoofingIntelligence
      @RoofingIntelligence  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's never good if the nails are in the wrong place. The biggest problems I see with high nails are with architectural shingles on steeper roofs. This combination can lead to the shingles pulling off the nails on sliding off the roof.

    Home owners beware . notice how the shingles are not laminated together . your project will definitely be a lot harder then in this video . wear gloves and if you can find an old couch cushion sponge to work off of your job will go much better . stay out of your valleys if at all possible .if you don't feel comfortable up on your roof you should not be up there . 1 trip to the hospital would pay for a new roof profesionaly installed . good luck and you never know till you try .

  • @gulfbeach47
    @gulfbeach47 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    #1. I have one piece of a tab about 12'' x 4'' (width) that blew off during wind storm last week. I have about 6 spare shingles left (stored in attic)from the original roof. I saw a couple of other videos showing that you can just cut a section of shingle to repair, rather then use a whole shingle. Do you agree with using a partial shingle, as long as I use technique the way you did with the whole shingle?
    #2. While I was on the roof, I noticed around 4 separate shingles that had small cracks in a tab, running from side to side. I tried to softly lift bottom of tab, and each one easily raised up to the cracks, so the seal is definitely broken. I was hoping that I could apply Black Jack Roof Cement below the cracked part of the tab, and at the bottom, plus run a bead on top of the crack. Would that work? I'm worried the lifting the tab too high to apply the cement at the crack may break the tab. Would you suggest trying this to see if it works or just replace each tab?
    I was not planning to hammer any nails (since it would be exposed nails), unless it would help hold cracked shingle down. It is on the back of my home, so no one would see it. I'm guessing there is a reason that the nails are not exposed, besides cosmetic and nails eventually rusting?
    Also, since some of the shingles are getting the cracks, I expect more to happen. The roof/shingles are 16 years old, so I was hoping to get another 2 or 3 years before time for new roof. This roof also went through Hurricane Ivan and a couple of other less powerful hurricanes. Lost 3 shingles during Ivan, so I have been lucky so far.
    From reading my comments, you can probably tell that I have never done this before:)
    Thanks in advance!

    • @RoofingIntelligence
      @RoofingIntelligence  8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You can replace just part of the shingle but considering how inexpensive and easy it is to replace the whole shingle, I'd encourage you to do that. It's basically the same amount of work and you are going to be left with a better repair. Those crack you see are wind damage- the shingles are getting lifted up during a high wind and creased. You can just glue them down but, again, it's nearly as easy to replace them completely so that's what I'd encourage you to do. Unfortunately, this is a classic sign that your roof is wearing out and you'll continue to see this sort of damage until you replace it.
      Best of luck!

    • @gulfbeach47
      @gulfbeach47 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thank you for the advice. I was thinking partial shingle, since I only have a few spares left . I brought a sample in to Lowes yesterday and was told they no longer make my color. Again, it is on the back roof, so it would not be seen by anyone, but I would rather not buy new ones unless needed.

    • @ScottFeller
      @ScottFeller 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      On 3-tab roofs, we only install single tabs where possible. The reason for this is that one tab of a different color will not stand out as much as 3 tabs in a row that are new. This is the only downside of replacing the full shingle, otherwise, I agree with Roofing Intelligence.

  • @larrycrookshanks1646
    @larrycrookshanks1646 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Why would you replace a whole shingle when you can replace a half or partial piece especially if it is tying in against sidewall or valley. You can replace it and use asphalt cement to reseal it. Just remember to take it apart when you have full sun or warm day as the sealant is extremely aggressive and does not come apart easily with cold temperatures.

  • @thelegendaryblackbeastofar39
    @thelegendaryblackbeastofar39 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've heard that one should not apply a continuous bead of glue along the bottom edge of the shingle as any water that might get underneath will not have a path to flow out. Instead, glue should be applied in spots roughly the size of a Quarter.

  • @aaronbrown3982
    @aaronbrown3982 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Putting the ceiling glue right across the shingle could cause problems could Block in water and cause for freezing so maybe just a couple dabs or make sure that you leave some space for the water to escape putting a bead across like that it's not good for a climate with lots of rain or humidity

  • @richardhatt6541
    @richardhatt6541 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Here is a tip from a pro; put a 12" piece in first before you put the full shingle in. You do not want a joint that close to the bottom of the valley. It is better to run it under as far as possible. Your shingles are stepped over about 6" so a 12" piece will bring the joint 6" past the joint.

    • @dirtyd3402
      @dirtyd3402 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This video isn’t about a joint or valley. You are doing nothing but confusing those trying to learn.

    • @richardhatt6541
      @richardhatt6541 ปีที่แล้ว

      It is about starting shingles in a valley. More water will go through the bottom of a valley than the top so it is especially important not to have joints in the valley at the bottom of the roof.
