Roof jacks must be fixed to install to give a platform to stand on and harnesses for extra protection and security. If climbing on a roof, make use of a safe sturdy ladder and have a helper safe the ladder at the bottom. Assess the amount of the damage and how many new shingles you will require, look at the corners to find out if they have pulled up and directly curled from the roof.
Look for harm to the flashing and moisture barrier and signs of leakage.
If there is moisture, restore everything around the region that is spoiled.
Shingles should be removed when cool as asphalt heat up and asphalt sealant at
the time of hot weather making the shingles mouldable and hard to remove. If required,
damp the shingles down which assists to firm and tighten them making removal simple.
Cracked and Split shingles in good condition can be repaired without taking out
them. If fixing shingles you need a crowbar
or pry bar, nail puller, a utility knife, screwdriver, a caulking gun, galvanized
nails and silicone caulk, roofing cement, and
identical singles.
Begin by taking off shingles two rows over the damaged shingles. Make
use of a nail puller or screwdriver in order to raise the nails in the bare blemish.
Release exposed nails slide a flat pry bar below the shingle and pull it up
working around the nail adjacent the damaged part. Lift the nearby tabs in the
first row cautiously preventing cracking or breakage cracking. Loosen the glue
under the tabs of the shingle, pull them out and throw away. Continue removing
all injured shingles before changing them.
When changing them attach a new shingle onto the row of the bottom, overlapping the one below it and follow
the line of the break of the shingles in the row. If you get final shingle use
the utility knife to stop the nail strip on top. Using roofing cement to the
back of the shingle and slip it under the over shingle and press both shingles definitely.
Making use of the galvanized nails, pin the shingle direct to the roof.
