HOW TO REPAIR A SHINGLED ROOF
Repairing a shingle roof starts with identifying damaged or missing shingles. Use a pry bar to gently lift the surrounding shingles and remove the nails holding the damaged shingles in place. Replace the defective shingles with new ones, making sure they are secure and aligned with the existing shingles. Also be sure to check the condition of the subfloor and membrane under the shingles. If these are damaged, they should be repaired or replaced before installing the new shingles. Finally, seal the edges of the new shingles with roofing cement to ensure a perfect seal and prevent water infiltration.
