Honestly, never do repairs. I work for a roofing company and you can always go through insurance and get a full replacement. I see people way too often do repairs, insurance company then thinks that that is acceptable for the homeowner and they will only pay for more repairs. Depending on how close the match is, that is why you see so many patched roofs that are not aesthetically pleasing. Even if the insurance company originally only approved repairs, you can send a shingle out to itel and if it is discontinued, a really bad match, changed from english to metric, etc etc, they will end up replacing the full roof.

@@seanspreckelsen3496 I just got this house knowing it will need a roof. To KEEP my insurance I have to replace missing shingles. At the moment I am waiting for next tax season to hopefully replace roof. Until then, this video is a GODSEND to some of us. Plus some people will get higher rates claiming the roof on insurance. This video is for folks who don't NEED an entire roof yet. ALWAYS do repairs anytime you can and save your money.

Insurance buddy they will get you a new roof don’t patch anything
Sometimes you are to old to get up the roof anymore but I refuse to pay someone $1839 to replace 18 shingles that my neighbor tree fell and damaged our 1 yr old roof! This is just what I need and I thank you
Couldn't ask for a simpler instructional video. This is exactly what I was looking for 👌
This is by far the best replacement video. I've been looking for an easier way. You explained it so simple. Thank you.
Loved the content beautiful repair method but you didn't have to mess up your roof to give us a proper tutorial 👍👍 good man
I gave this video a thumbs up because it was coherent, quick, and it satisfied the title. I see where a lot of perfectionists chose to make a negative comment about the lack of tar paper/felt. To repair that flaw the whole roof must come off. That is not the title of this video. I need to replace one damaged shingle, and now, I think I know the tools I need as well as the technique that I'll use. Thanks, Shannon. You did enough, but you could have added your name, your phone number, your location, and the name of your business.

I gave it a thumbs down because my roof (many are like this in all of the houses I have lived in) if you remove a nail you better plug its hole with some tar or it will leak since the nails go through the wood and water plus new hole is a disaster. Really, make it a habit to do a new hole and find all old nail holes and put some tar in them.

I.finished this phase of 3 weeks ago..Turned out nice except a few things. It's hard to describe. However I ended up.cutting a straight line down about six foot from the side of the roof. There were several obstacles here. I ended up with.a half inch trench on the right side going down..I know that I should have staggered the shingles..It was too late. So I put some tar down over existing trapper and swept up the asphalt (Sand) which was like little roller bearings..oh yes..these little thing need to be constantly swept up and disposed up as they are a dangerous (slip and fall hazzard).I put the above sandy particles in the half inch water trench. Actually it's almost unnoticeable from road and seems to let the water fall down. The next part will be done different. Also next time.I will.stay up with the safety factors.

He provided his name, location, the name of his business, and his preferred method of contact both in the video and in the video description.
So, we had a sever windstorm event here last week. I lost three spruce trees on my property and two shingles off my roof. I have never attempted to repair my roof, always called a roofer. For just two shingles, not a complicated repairs, the roofer wanted $240 US. I found your video, watched it closely three times, then went out and purchased a bundle of shingles, some adhesive, the pry tool and went to work. Had BOTH shingle repairs completed in under 90 minutes. Could have been faster but I took my time to make sure I had it right the first time. Two caveats: first, my shingles are 39inches, apparently the new standard is 36 inches. So with some directions from Lowes staff, I had to do some creative fitting (had to cut one shingle at 22 inches and one at 17 inches then "butt" them together) to do a proper repair but the repair went well. Second caveat, the roofing tar in a tube is VERY MESSY for a first time user, so you need be careful. In any event, the repairs were successful and I thank you for this helpful video.
Very simple and clearly explained. I only lost about 6 shingles in a 85 mph windstorm in Utah last week. A roofer quoted me $600-700! He said it was normally a $200 job, which seemed more reasonable. But he also said they were super busy and a month out. I’m sure they’d rather do a $10000+ new roof than do little repairs unless they were slow. I used to do siding, so I figured it couldn’t be that hard. I already know how to swing a hammer. Thanks!

Agreeing with Madkilljoy and others -- this video is well done. I was going to call someone to replace a shingle or two, but after watching this video, I think I might try to do it myself. I do need that roof nail remover tool. It’s a big deal trying to get home repair estimates and help in this area, especially for small jobs. Congrats to Shannon. Even the white socks add to the excellent presentation.
Its been 20 years since I spent a summer doing doing three tab. Thanks for the refresher. Need to repair my roof.
Nice video. Especially appreciated no lame music!
Upskirt nailing is when it is easy to damage the shingle. You can prop the the tile up with a piece of wood, then focus on hitting the nail, not the tile.
Why would someone give this a thumbs down? An out of work roofing contractor?

WoW I can’t thank you enough this video is so detailed & informative I appreciate the video. I have never lifted a hammer nor did any intense labor work in my life till today. After watching your video I said let me give this a try after watching your video & Home Depot visit and Talking to roofers I said let me try this & I fixed my own leakage I was experiencing from my 2nd floor. I feel so proud of my self & so does my wife. And thank you for all the informative info in the video

Thank you! I've got a few shingles I lost in Hurricane Zeta and can't get a roofing person. This will do nicely!
I’m new to roofing, I always just dig around on one shingle to find the nails, I never thought about going to the next row, to find/ take out the nails that are thru the top row, ASWELL AS the top of the row I’m trying to remove; thank you very much this was a big help
8 minute video...watch all 8 minutes..Shannon's points are all relevant
Thanks for a good explanation! You are consistent with other knowledgeable teachers. I am a roofer now! I patched and tarred five torn up problem areas on steep pitches and sealed three pipes, too.
This video saved my tons of money
Thanks for sharing. Recent storm came through and somehow a contractor quoted $350 to replace a single...ripped shingle on the roof. How these people can even sleep at night trying to financially r@pe people is beyond me. Im glad I checked on here to just get up there and replace it myself saving about $325 from scam artists conning people. Much appreciated sharing the knowledge.
Neighbour just show me a tile on the front of his lawn, says it’s mine . Googled repair shingle and your vid popped up . thank you for the instructions !!
Man, another great video , got a single shingle needing to be replaced and my whole life I've always used metal roofing, your always here to save the day
Thanks. Excellent work. Not a roofer, but I needed an old sat dish to mount a 2nd vertical antenna safely in a tree, perfect job for that dish bracket. Nothing is really free, so now I’ll replace the shingles that were drilled through. With this help, I see it’s do-able.
I was hit with some high winds yesterday and it took a few shingles. This video saved my roof/house. Thank you very much!
Thanks. After Hurricane Ian I had two shingles fly off. Tackling it this weekend as a newbie

Great video!! Simple, informative, and to the point. You’re the man!! 😁👍
You made a heck of a sacrifice, due to mismatchment, just to instruct us how to replace a shingle. Thanks.
He didn't have the part where my tools, nails, and replacement shingle all slide off the roof 3 meters down. And me slipping and doing a nose plant into the roof.
Thumbs up on this one that's a correct repair it seems like over kill on that third row but it makes the shingle a lot easier to go in and your not bending that third tab to the point of shaping it sometimes u can just cut an inch off the top of the shingle your putting in but no this is the correct way to do it 👍
Excellent educational,thank you for your time and effort.
Nicely done. Quick and to the point.

This was exactly what I was looking for right down to the not being able to find a color match from a discontinued 3-tab color that is exactly the same color as mine - I believe it's called aspen gray. Looks like you could have been on my roof.
This video helped a lot my roof is a bit more slanted so it may be a bit harder. I am missing just one shingle and only one shingle piece not the 3 hope I can fix it.
I have a 16oz estwing just like that. Have had it for years. Those things are indestructible.
Brother wow you made me understand the 3 tab layout greatly!
Thank u for the information on how to do this u helping me and my family afford to do it myself thanks

Solar panels installed in my roof not activated for 3 years now have a dispute issues with the solar company they need to remove the solar panels that they installed I want them to fix it like this a Perfect video for my roof 👍👍
Short but very instructive video, thanks. This gentleman provides details that make sense. I’m going up to my roof to replace some shingles. He said to use very little glue. If using too much it will drip down due to heat. Other videos didn’t address that bit of important detail. One thing however, during the replacement, the raw plywood was seen, meaning that the roof didn’t have the usual cover. I don’t even know what type of cover that would be. Question: should the new nails be placed in the holes of the old nails? If not, I suppose the old holes should have a little dab of glue, just saying. Again, thank you sir for your excellent video.
Big help! Thank you
Very helpful. Thanks for taking the time!
Excellent, unfortunately this is exactly what I needed to learn. Thank you very much!
Thanks for your helpful videos 😀
Your video is a lot higher quality than the others I've seen! Thank you. The only part I had difficulty with is seeing which shingle you were planning on removing at the start since they are laid out so consistently.
Thank you so much for this video. Our shingles are flying off and a lot of them are flipping over. I think I'll buy a few tubes of the cement
Really good video. Thank you.
Good refresher! Thanks for posting. Made my repair much easier.

Go through insurance. Get an inspection, most likely if you are missing a shingle there is other wind damage up there, nail pull throughs, lifts, creases, etc. If there is, you can get a full replacement through your insurance company. Never do repairs before you check the entire thing.

@@seanspreckelsen3496 Once again you fail to mention how insurance rates increase after making that roof claim. Acknowledge this video was well made and stop advertising for roofers. PLEASE! I have seen more messed up roof jobs than good ones in my day. Used to do it for a living when I was younger. Calling a roofer does not always make your shingle issues go away!

Yeah.. I didn't know the shingle bags came with instructions.. Makes total sense.
Its important to read the installation instructions if you wish to keep the warranty. Its on the packaging of each bundle of shingles. Most shingles require two nails, not one, otherwise your warranty becomes voided. On contractor installations keep an eye on those guys.
Thank you very much for the excellent education!
Thanks, very helpful.
Excellent video! Thank you.
