How to fix the shingles in your Toronto Roof
If you leave in Toronto, you’re subject to heavy storms you run the risk of the wind taking off a couple of shingles.
I’m going to show you how easy it is to put in the back on.
Had a storm yesterday they notice this morning a couple of shingles were off.
Fortunately didn’t rip the shingles to just pop them off the nails.
I’m gonna reuse these shingles.
If you need to replace shingles hopefully if you had your roof done you have some extras the first thing you need to remember when you’re doing a repair like this is if you have the slightest apprehension about good and getting up on your roof and being off to ground.
You need to hire a toronto roofing company to fix this for you but I’m comfortable with it.
I’ve done it a lot so let me bring in and I’ll show you how easy it is to fix this and your toronto roof will be watertight in no time.
So it just ripped the shingles off the nails I’m not gonna pull the nails out because that’ll make it that’s just another hole that has to be fixed.
What I am gonna do is just clean out any crap around them just hit it with a little roofing caulk underneath just to kind of seal that nail hole probably not completely necessary and then just drive in those nails.
I’m just gonna put a couple staples in the tar paper then the tar paper is actually what makes your house watertight. If you actually didn’t have shingles on your roof but you had the felt paper down your watertight so you don’t really have to worry about that roof shingles go on from bottom up.
I’m just gonna line up my first shingle with the previous course and I’m just gonna drive a few nails.
I’m not going to go through the same holes but you see this line of the tar that’s where you want to put your nails and it’s just about an inch and a half or so.
I’m gonna put four per single so before I put the second course on I’m just going to put a couple dabs of the roofing caulk where the old hole was that way you’ll get a seal and then I’m also going to go underneath & put a couple dabs for this course as well.
I just line up the next course I got to tuck it up under your shingles where I need to in this last one I just pull the flap up and then a couple dabs.
The last thing I have to do is just cut it to length tuck it up and I’m back in business.
So, repairing this roof wasn’t that difficult I would say the hardest part about this project is just climbing the ladder and getting on the roof but if you’re comfortable with Heights and climbing onto your roof you can do this project.
