HOW TO PROPERLY REPAIR A HOLE IN YOUR ROOF

A tree fell on this roof and I was contracted to repair the hole, this video includes the removal of the shingles felt and damaged plywood where the hole is then it gets covered with ice and water shield followed by felt all edges sealed with elastomaric tar sealant then starter for the edge and replacement of the damaged shingles. After it’s all nailed in I seal the tar strip on the old shingles that were disturbed! Enjoy #roofrepair

    There are definitely many situations where replacing the entire sheet is necessary, this particular job the damage was so minimal it wouldn’t have made sense to remove an entire sheet of plywood for a 1’x1’ hole on the edge of the roof. At least the plywood got replaced, I’ve seen some shoddy work, people slapping a piece of metal over the hole and calling it a day. Thank-you for your input and keep up the quality work!

    Great video! In a recent freak snowstorm, a whole bunch of branches fell from a 180' douglas fir tree that sits 4' from the edge of our house. It created about a dozen holes in the roof, some at least 12" in diameter. We'll get the roof replaced, but it looks like it's going to be several months until we can get it done. I tried a simple sheet metal fix and that didn't really work, so it's now tarped and that's OK, but I'd prefer a fix that'll let me remove the tarp (it traps moisture, and it does not like the occasional ember from our pellet stove). I think I can repair the holes using the approach in the video with a couple of afternoons worth of work. I'm just wondering if there are any shortcuts that might be OK, since it's only got to last until the end of winter. Thanks!

    I understand, it would definitely help to add some explanation to the video, great idea for future videos. The reasoning for how high and to the sides is to have more room to seal everything properly to ensure no leaks will occur in the future. I’m sure I could’ve got away with less area but it comes down to habit removing at least two rows above the damage, below the damage and at least a couple feet past horizontally. If you have any other questions feel free to ask and in the future I’ll put some time into editing for a clearer explanation of whatever it is I’m doing. 🙏

    I used roofing tar ( elastomeric sealant) to make sure everything is sealed I ran a bead of it along the bottom of the tar paper and vertically on both ends. There are a few different types of roofing sealant you can use but in most cases for asphalt shingle roofing, a good tar sealant will work just fine, especially when it’s going to be covered by tar paper and shingles.

    Yeah, they were definitely informed of the water damage along the eve of the roof. Once I explained what needed to be done they decided that they were going to replace the roof within the next couple years, that’s why it pays to get it done right from the beginning. Blow and go Roofers aren’t usually worried about ice damming and or the pitch of the roof, distance between downspouts the correct fall for water flow ensuring water doesn’t back up over your gutters. There are only a hand full of companies out there that make sure things are done right according what each house may need according to how it’s designed!

    Not something I’d ever like to do but in some cases the customer will have rotted plywood along the eve of the roof due to ice damming or simply a bad roof install, in this case the eve of the roof was rotted from a combination of a poor install and ice damming, we made it clear to the homeowner that to properly fix the roof we would need to remove the first two rows of shingles, cut the rotted plywood of roughly 120ft of eve, replace the plywood, sand which the eve metal with ice and water shield( strip of ice and water shield from the roof over the top edge of the gutter then eve metal then another piece of ice and water shield sealing the top edge of the eve metal). Then replace the roof felt and shingles. They were happy with what had been done and after exposing the problem with the eve they planned on replacing the roof within the next couple years. 🙏

    Any shingles that may have been cut or cracked got sealed both top and bottom, once they decided to replace the roof within the next two years, making sure it was water tight was the only concern.

    Did you mean cutting the shingles while sitting on top of the shingles, if that’s the case I don’t push down while cutting shingles, when using a hook blade it’s more of a pulling cut, you get used to cutting shingles without cutting anything underneath. Let me know if that was what you were asking, curious?
