Watched this ( and another one ) and replaced a shingle with missing tab this morning for my rental house, probably saving me $150-$200. Thanks for the easy-to-follow video.
Am 70 years old and have always called a roofer. Had a windstorm last week and lost two shingles. Roofer wanted $240US to replace just two shingles. Watched your video and another one, got the supplies I needed (wished they sold just two shingles instead of having to purchase and entire bundle for just two shingles) and went to work. Took me about 90 minutes as I proceeded slowly. I did run into a problem in that my roof shingles are 39" and the new standard is 36 inches but I worked it out. The repairs look very good. Thanks for the instruction, it was very helpful.
In a lower pitch roof (2/12) do you put the nails further from the edge of the bottom of the shingle above it. I know they typically put the shingles a little lower for less exposure. Thanks
@billendy7425 Great Job! I too just went through Hurricane Beryl. Collecting myself and trying to go find some shingles tomorrow. Home Depot and Lowes should have spar bundles but I was wondering where would you measure the length? I too am new to this. I also need the confidence but poverty is very motivating. Four shingle and the guy wanted $250 and it only cost $32....where do they get the math. *sigh (*it's a only story single family home too!)
Short and sweet! To the point! Great. Wind damaged a few shingles. Can't find any roofers who want to repair... They want to replace whole roof with estimates up to $32K (roof is old, but not obsolete just yet). I'll repair the broken shingles. Great video.
I use a medium flex putty knife to break the tar strip as a pry bar edge can damage edges of the shingles. I also caulk the holes where the old roofing nails were removed.
if the shingle is just flopping /floppy, not broken, can you just glue them down after nailing the old ones back if their popping (no reason to replace shingle is what i am asking)???
I've had trouble at times using the flat bar. Sometimes the adhesive is good and the bar tears the shingle. So, I will use a metal, flexible, putty knife to slide underneath and slice through the adhesive. Just a thought.
great job, what type of nails, and height? also the tar glue, what type or name please, also do u have to glue the shingles down? great job!! u made it look so eze!
Thanks! Any elastomeric exterior caulking would work well and what's used generally comes down to preference in this region. Nail height depends on roof deck thickness; for this 7/16" OSB roof deck, 1 1/4" roofing nails were used. Most people don't seal the shingles down after replacing but I always do.
@@explorewithjosh thanks josh! so if the shingles are just floppy but stable, not cracked or chipped or no pull thru, then i can just use cement roof glue and glue them down, correct? having a roofer come to look at em, what do you think is fair to replace each 3 shingle piece each you think? thank you sir!
Nice job in explaining in replacing single damage shingles, this information will come in handy in replacing several damage shingles on my roof, due to hail damage.
Just got thru Hurricane Ian...luckily only lost a couple shingles..your video says it all..thks for sharing...can I use liquid nails to seal the shingles..says it's good up to 180°...
I'm happy to hear you were able to do your own repairs! I personally wouldn't use a product like 'liquid nails' for this application but I'd be willing to bet there's no problem with using it. I generally use something that has flexible properties so it can expand or contract with any temperature fluctuations.
@@explorewithjosh Same as Mr. Daniels, Ian dropped 20-somewhat shingles of mine, like a deck of cards tossed by a mad poker player. Anyway, your video popped up...exactly what I was looking for. Thanks, Josh!
if the shingle is just flopping /floppy, not broken, can you just glue them down after nailing the existing nails back in if, their popping (no reason to replace shingle is what i am asking)???
If they are just no longer sealed to the row below, I would advise dabbing the backs of the shingle tabs (with caulking) yes. If they have become bent to the point of making a crease or have been worn in any way from being folded over, I would advise replacing the affected shingles.
I personally used mulco brand exterior sealant. I'm honestly not much of a fan of tar but there are a couple different options when it comes to tar... The 'black roofing sealant' you chose may have been intended for over top of a shingle- but there are types that are moreso meant for adhesion (or when dabbing the back side of a shingle)
When replacing shingles, there shouldn't be any nails exposed to the elements (they will be covered by the row above them). That being said; if there are exposed nails; yes, seal them up!
The 3rd tab could be in a location that would be trickier to remove and it may save a few minutes if just replacing 2 of 3? Besides that, I wouldn't know.
It was bare 7/16" OSB unfortunately. It's always best practice to install an appropriate underlayment over the roof deck during initial installation though.
Saving the money is nice but just getting a roofer out to do a simple repair like this is a night mare.It's too small for them to bother with. Thanks for the tutorial!!
What if the shingle is not damaged (4 years old), but just leaking cause a couple tar strips came loose from wind? Do I replace the shingle with fresh tar strip or can I just re tack it down with roofing cement?

Super happy to hear you were able to do the repair and save yourself the money! Unfortunately yes, there are a few different sizes of shingles.
Gracias amigo por tu ayuda 🇦🇷

FANTASTIC! Much better explained and much pithier than most other shingle replacement videos. Thanks!
Best tutorial I've seen so far on this repair. Thank you for making it simple and clear.
Great job on explaining step by step how to repair roof.
Thanks for making video. It was a huge help to replace some shingles when a limb came down on the corner of my roof. I had no idea how to do it.
Very informative video. You're saving a lot of people money. Thanks
Very nice. When you see the shingles, you don-t know which is which.....now I know. Just need to get the tool.
Well done. Good video to refresh my memory. A wide blade puddy knife and hammer work well if shingles are stuck too tight. Then pry bar.
Very nice Eastwing roofing hatchet ; makes the roofing job a lot easier
I use a medium flex putty knife to break the tar strip as a pry bar edge can damage edges of the shingles. I also caulk the holes where the old roofing nails were removed.
That was a good tutorial. Thanks Brother Josh for sharing
Thanks for saving me $250-$350 into my pockets. God Bless You!
Thank you. You're a good teacher. That's so simple and people are charging so much to do it. I'm gonna get me some of that 💰😎
Thanks for the kind words 😊
So glad I found this how-to video. Made it look easy. We'll get give it a go. Thanks.
@@periloustactic let me know how it goes! Good luck 🤞
Very well explained and helpful video. Thanks a lot.
Excellent video, thanks. What is the name of the sealant you used? i would like to purchase it.
Great demonstration!
@@RSDavis-fb1go thank you! 😁
Thank you very Much. this is the first time I apply asphalt shingle and 2 nails are too low, I will use your technique
thank you so much for the great video! I just replaced a few shingles on my roof today. it turned out perfectly :)
I'm glad you found this tutorial to be helpful!
Good job explaining and showing
Give thanks bredda this was so helpful 🙏🏿👍🏾
I’m a roofer. First of all , it was done well.
if the shingle is just flopping /floppy, not broken, can you just glue them down after nailing the old ones back if their popping (no reason to replace shingle is what i am asking)???
Short and clear excellent video
I've had trouble at times using the flat bar. Sometimes the adhesive is good and the bar tears the shingle. So, I will use a metal, flexible, putty knife to slide underneath and slice through the adhesive. Just a thought.
exactly , that will do it. Any ideas to get the nails out if you don't have the bar??
Good careful work. Thanks for sharing.
Gracias from Texas 👍
Thanks a lot. You are the man ...
Wow this is involved so you put your second row nails back in or tar previous holes from old nails pulled taring them tabs done is key 👍

@@mml1224 if you're asking about price, I wouldn't be able to comment on that as there would be too many variables
Thanks for this DIY, Irma just knocked out a couple shingles and can't afford for someone to replace them.
D. Lobo; glad I could help! :)

Thanks, nicely done. I'm doing this today and I just love kneeling on shingles haha.
I will usually now sit on the side of my butt/ hip to stay off my knees. A thick cushion will also help with grip and comfort. Good luck!
Thanks you my friend for you help

LOVE it!
Very informative!
What kind of glue are using
Nice Video........ Josh
What is that shingle color called?
when shingles are old and stuck well, i use a thinner thickness trowl which works better and has zero chance of tearing or damaging old shingles...
❤️👏❤️🥇
Thank u for this ☝🏼
Thanks for the video. What type of Nails are you using?
Just standard 1 1/4" roofing nails (electro galvanized)
@@explorewithjosh thank you Sir
What sealer is that? I used the black roofing sealer and it doesn't seem to stick to keep the warped shingle down
I personally used mulco brand exterior sealant. I'm honestly not much of a fan of tar but there are a couple different options when it comes to tar... The 'black roofing sealant' you chose may have been intended for over top of a shingle- but there are types that are moreso meant for adhesion (or when dabbing the back side of a shingle)
Would you recommed putting a small amount of the sealant on top of the nails to prevent leaks? My first time doing this.
When replacing shingles, there shouldn't be any nails exposed to the elements (they will be covered by the row above them). That being said; if there are exposed nails; yes, seal them up!
Thanks for posting this.
just saw a guy replace 2/3 of a 3 tab shingle (right in the middle of the roof). Wonder why?? Just to have a slightly smaller off-color place?
The 3rd tab could be in a location that would be trickier to remove and it may save a few minutes if just replacing 2 of 3? Besides that, I wouldn't know.
Good video.
Thank you!
What is the stuff you dabbed in 3 spots under each shingle? It says "Expert" on the tube. (If you said it,, I missed it.)
It's an exterior sealant; brand name: MULCO.
Tar or roofing tar
Nice job!!!! Thanks
Thank you.
After he removed the shingle, was that expose yellow color bare OSB with no felt/paper in the keyway? That couldn't be DensGlass...
It was bare 7/16" OSB unfortunately. It's always best practice to install an appropriate underlayment over the roof deck during initial installation though.
@@explorewithjosh If the manufacturer's instructions require it, then it required per the IRS and IBC codes.
What country are you in?
Putting off a $7500 roof job. You saved me $7477.
What's my cut? 😏 😆
Same here!
Nice!
Saving the money is nice but just getting a roofer out to do a simple repair like this is a night mare.It's too small for them to bother with. Thanks for the tutorial!!
joebainter I actually prefer the small repairs :) glad I could help though!
All I do is repairs..thats where the money is and that's
J.S. P. How many can you replace without needing a building permit?
Did it fix the leak ?
Absolutely
Awesome
Perfect!
Thanks !!!
What if the shingle is not damaged (4 years old), but just leaking cause a couple tar strips came loose from wind? Do I replace the shingle with fresh tar strip or can I just re tack it down with roofing cement?
BBQ Sandwich if the shingles are not damaged from the wind you can just reseal them with a sealant of your choice.
reseal with "dabs" or "dots".....a long strip line will hold back rainwater and cause leaks
THANKS
You forgot to say what you were using to glue them down with.
Okay
why not just replace the broken one instead of all 3???
You are someone who should call a roofer.
I just replace the tab not the whole 3
That's definately an option yes 👍
Its sad that I'm Mexican and I can't get thus roofing stuff down. Feel like a failure kind of just want to jump off my house and die.
It can take years to develop a certain speed or technique- don't be hard on yourself; no one starts anything off as a pro!
@@explorewithjosh thanks for the vote of confidence. I'm actually getting it down little by little
Thanks
