I've been a builder for many years and have seen quite a fair bit of sheds. The plans in ryan's package kzread.infoUgkxB7IXYxLzb_Ichhe45zM3Im5xfEiSp9vB have some of the nicest looking sheds i've seen in a while.
This is the most informational video I’ve seen about replacing a shingle. Thanks sir.
What a Great & Simple Tutorial to follow. I've helped my Dad shingle our roof when I was a young boy, but I've never seen or helped with a repair. Now, I'm sure I can fix the small problem I have. After getting a few quotes, I determined that I can even purchase the ladder I need and still save a bit. And I'll have a nice ladder to help with other projects.

Someone showing a man who has a do it himself attitude and mindset has nothing to do with it. That man was going to repair it regardless.!
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 . Great video , 1000 thumbs up and thanks very much .
My father recently passed away due to Covid. Noticed our Shed had a shingle that was damaged/missing. Normally I would get guidance from him on how to do stuff around the house. He’s no longer here so I Gotta step up to the plate of a homeowner. Thank you for providing information on my first fix around the house as a homeowner.
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.

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

Nice video. First one I watched in Menards parking lot before going in to get what I need to replace some shingles on my rental house :D Feeling pretty confident now.
I appreciate how you slow down and explained this to those who are not roofers. Question: I have a can of Flex Seal. Will that do the job of sealing the nails, and underside of the shingles while allowing for heat expansion?
I am in Brazil and couldn't find any worker that could repair my shingles now thanks for your help I made it by myself.
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 .
Thanks for the walkthrough and advice.
Perfectly helpful. Thanks for the video.

That kind of damage typically wont leak, due to the way shingles are designed, but if you loose 5 inches or so of the shingle then you may have an issue, other then that roofing tar will fix small gashes like this

Like the video. Maybe sow the bad shingles as a different color just to clarify the difference. Just a thought.
Try removing wide crown staples from the shingle. For the longest time lots of roofers used staples.
I hope John C Reilly plays this guy in the movie version if this how-to video.
Thanks a lot
Thanks.

If you are selling it right away then the shingles not matching is an issue. However, if you use the same original colour it will fade to match the existing. I would think a different color might fade differently.

Yep. If you replace with a lighter than original shade, the replacement will eventually fade and mismatch in the future.

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.

Hopefully one day you will, and anything you can learn to do to repair and maintain your investment will save you money and the possibility of less than professional contractors who would not do as good of a job as the person who owns the property. In addition, there is the satisfaction that comes from doing it yourself, especially when you do it correctly. Glad you watched it. I replaced shingles and still have a leak. Checked here to see if I missed something.

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.

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.
This video was perfect. I waste so much time watching these long tutorial videos that don't get to the point or clearly show whats happening.
For old shingles I found that using a "nail puller" I could get the nails out without having to go underneath and pop them up, for what it's worth... Damages the shingle less :)
Read the instructions on the package the shingles called for 6 nails per shingle .

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
I’m 50 and I am addicted to this cuz I had to replace a few sheets of shingles. I’m not nearly a man yet, but I’m closer. Shingle porn.
I have several damaged shingles ( I didn't get tree branches trimmed back earlier) they wanted $700 for repair.

U dont need to glue the old holes on the shingles.. Rather place roofing cement on the holes from prior shingles remaining on the 30lb felt or underlayment after removing old shinglez
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.
Great show. Good advice. Thank you.
Very helpful! Thanks!
