How to Repair a Missing Shingle and Get Your Roof Back in Top Shape

Contents

Roofer Roof Shingle Replacement

A broken or cracked shingle can usually be patched up pretty easily, and you might not even need to replace it – although common sense dictates it in most cases. However, when the shingle is missing, you have no choice. You have to get a replacement and get it installed the old fashioned way; by climbing a ladder to the area in question and fastening the shingle firmly in place to prevent water from seeping into your home next time it rains.

 

Missing shingles can become a problem in many cases. As you know, the shingles act as the roof’s front line of defense against hail storms, rain, snow and all manner of things that might threaten your home’s structural integrity. So it’s important to act fast when trying to eliminate the problem.

 

You typically have two options: either do it yourself, or call a Shelby roofer. In the event that you want to turn the whole thing into a DIY job, you’ll still need to contact your roofer for advice and to get the right shingle materials, such as the shingle itself and some durable roofing cement. Also, you’ll need some tools and safety equipment such as a sturdy hammer, a good ladder and a reliable harness.

 

Once you have everything, all you have to do is remove any of the remains of the old shingle (if necessary), apply roofing cement beforehand, and slip the new shingle into place by pressing it firmly until it sticks.

Professional, Knowledgeable, and stress free is how I would describe my experience with Roof One. From first call, a representative actually answers the phone with a friendly welcome. Jason was prompt and quick to come out and give a detailed consultation. Antonio’s crew was amazing! Not only were they on time, but a few minutes early. They made sure to walk me through the process and didn’t leave until the job was complete. Scott helped work with my insurance adjuster and went out of his way to make sure I was completely satisfied. Bill and Sandra in the office treated me like family and Steve, the owner, was very kind and welcomed me to the Roof One family. Phenomenal Job Roof One, my family and I couldn’t be happier - Thank you!

From the beginning to the end, Roof one really impressed me regarding their professionalism when roofing my house. In particular Steve and Mark managed this job wonderfully. The crew they sent over did such a wonderful quality job and made sure my property was free of nails and debris. I would definitely hire this company for a roof job. Very straight forward with their prices and options. I was also grateful they hooked up vent fans and provided a gorgeous flashing for my large chimney. Good job guys! Wish there were more contractors like you!
