Remember if you're not replacing all the shingles where your tarp is going, don't nail through your shingles otherwise you're just creating more holes for water to get in. Nail the tarp UNDER the shingles you lift up and not in a seam. Nail a 2x4 or something similar to the bottom of the tarp to weigh it down. Temporary fix and keeps holes to fix to a minimum.

True, for sure, but not always possible. Upon removal, be sure to tar every hole made.

Yeah if you have a small area like in this video, I recommend just replacing the shingle. Especially if the rest of the roof is in good condition.

A roofer with integrity...

Roofers came out Saturday claiming they could fix a 6x8 roof with a slight leak and now it looks like Niagara falls in that hallway! I'm gonna have to climb up there myself and try this because they wouldn't listen to me Saturday. Thanks for the video, I needed this!

Roof leaked last night. was wondering how to tarp it up, low and behold your video showed up. Thanks for the step by step! saved my butt.

What a nice and professional young man. Proud of you bro.

Thank you for the through and to the point of the video. Single lady doing this really helped me understand what I need to do. Thank you so much

You are awesome! Thank you for being honest and ethical! We need more like you in the roofing biz. This is exactly why the owner of the company went into roofing. To be ethical! Thank you for this video!

Thanks Steve! Looks like I will be doing this today. If not replacing the entire roof, I was wondering about the new nail holes. I read the comments and noticed your comment about using a sealant. Great job!

I love honest humble people, and you are one of them. God bless you.

Thank you. The insurance company wanted us to call a 'professional' that would have charged us a fortune -- and we don't have that kind of money. Doesn't matter if they say they are going to reimburse, the tarpers are going to want their money up front. Going to do this before it rains this weekend!

U did great ! I just had a neighbors tree smashed on my roof of my gurage. Thanks for the tip.

Appears to work well on newer roofs where shingles remain pliable. Otherwise, overlay the tarp using one by twos to extend the tarp over the damaged surface. The reason that some roofers overlay from the ridge is that the repair should extend the full length of the ridge.

You can do it!

i have a question if i may!! if i have a brand new roof can i tarp it right away? will it protect it so it has a longer lifespan?

What about tarping on a tar and gravel roof. We have a flat section of our roof that has to be replaced in the spring, but not possible for now. Can it be tarped similarly or does it have to be that seal they suggest? Leak is small but want to prevent further damage or moisture incoming.

What are you wearing on your boots? For roof/shingle work?

Hey man, I have to re-shingle one side of the home due to west wind. Currently have a 20x40 tarp on the roof thats been good for the past 2 months. Since it's May now, rainy season is slowly going away. My question is, can you remove the shingles little at a time due to a sunny day one day and rainy the next?

Do those nails that you are putting in to hold it down on the sides cause leaks?

I once worked for a roofer who would use roofing felt for the same purpose, a temporary seal until the roof could be repaired or replaced. Is that no longer done?

What keeps water from leaking in around the left and right edges of the tarp?

I had some guy come out to tarp my roof and there were just 3 areas that needed it and he tarped the whole damn thing. Now I'm going to be faced with nail holes in perfectly good areas not to mention possibly damaged shingles the way he was hitting them. (Used those plastic capped nails). My question is -- when the tarp and those nails are removed, will the holes reseal themselves in time? -- thanks for any help

Good video! I just did this to prepare an area of my roof for an upcoming storm, but I used roofing nails instead of cap nails. When I remove the nails and the tarp, is there any way to be sure it won't leak where I nailed it? Thanks for the help!

Thoughts on using synthetic felt? I find it’s safer to walk over if you’re covering a larger area and cheaper

@hailorhighwaterroofing

Synthetic felt is great for full roof installs for sure!

Can I use a clear shower curtain instead of a tarp?

Can I use a heavy duty staple gun. I’m afraid of making holes with nails

Overall you did a pretty good job but if there’s a heavy continuous down pour this is not water proof. One mistake you made is where you installed the tarp under the shingles where those two shingles meet in the middle you did not put the tarp all the way up under that next shingle up. So where those two shingles meet there’s a hole above that tarp. Other than that good explanation and trying to do what’s best for the client.
