Made small hole in shingle!!!!!!

[Rafa]

Need some advise on how to fix this small hole I made in middle of valley.



Was trimming some branches away from roof top. All but this one piece got away from me and landed in middle of valley. Now I have s small about diameter of a paint can cap.



What's the best way to fix this. Was going to hit up HomeDepot here in a few, but wanted some info before I head out there

Did it go through the decking?

If so, to fix that hole and give it some structure you can use a piece of metal flashing under the shingles.

It looks like that is at a ridge or hip? With a putty knife or other wide flat utensil break the seal in the shingles and remove that tabs that are damage and replace. Use some roofing adhesive to seal them down so you make it through the cold weather with no wind damage

Reading ownz me this morning. I see now that it is a valley. That may be a little more complicated because it carries so much water. We generally put heavier tar paper in the valleys. Not real sure how that will affect the repair.

If you can, get a bigger picure showing a larger field of the roof.

Either way, it will take removing and replacing some shingles. The key in that area is to make sure you don't have any water penetration after the repair

Lol. My roofing days are over. I did my 8x12 shed. Took me 2 days and $300. My roofer offered to do it for $200 turn key. Ended up screwing myself on that deal

This!

[Rafa]

Will go check that stuff out at HD

[scootro]

really Flex seal? it's not like roofers haven't been using tar on roofs for well over a 100 years

[Rafa]

thought about flex seal, but ended up going the route of replacing that shingle.

HD guy gave me some shingles and piece of that tar paper for free.

I did buy couple tubes of Henry's rubberized wet patch from what he recommended. To put around the edges of the paper and then shingle on top of that.

Hope this works


Was having a good day and was going to smoke some ribs.....oh well...learned my lesson

[Rafa]

Sooooo

Here's my expert work


I cut out the top piece you saw with hole and removed. l left the bottom piece there. I took 1 shingle piece and basically cut in half.
I tucked it in on top of the bottom piece. then I took other half and tucked it on row above it. Had rough time trying to tuck that 2nd piece on very top. You can see part where it is not completely under that other row of shingles.

In between the 2 piece, I put plenty of the rubberized caulk around edges and on top layer that is tucked under the shingles that are on the rights side of the valley



damn shit roughed up my knuckles..haha

Looks like you should be good. Personally, I would flood that shit with water and make sure it isn't leaking. Just to make sure you got it put back together good.
