Repairing Leaking Shingle Roof
We find evidence of a leaking roof by water stains on the ceiling. Upon investigating the roof we see no visible damage but find an obvious soft spot. We show you how we removed the shingles and bad spot in the roof, and then repair the roof with new wood and shingles. This is done on a mobile/manufactured home, however basic concepts are the same for conventionally built homes.
The one problem your going to have is you forgot the roofing paper under the shingles which may cause another leak in the roof
very insturctional; that new piece of osb fit perfectly; that took some finesse !
8:37 OUCH! MY EYE!!!
nice work… but I would have added paper layment before shingles
@Jeff Prostar190 I’m from South Alabama, I’m a roofer. I’ve never seen brown paper. all the felt ive seen is black here. I’m sure there’s a reason, probably ice or hurricanes.
@Jeff Prostar190 and that tan payper is the plywood not sure if that was a joke or not with the other crap comment you made
@Jeff Prostar190 no such thing as a roof vaper barrier on a roof u keep water out not in I don’t know we’re u get your plywood from but it comes dry when u buy it at the store tar payper is good to use it has nothing to do with whatever you think it does plywood can fail but not from that it happens more from bad ventilation ie too much heat
The old roof don’t got paper what’s the point of a small pice it won’t do much
@KingJustice98 tyvek is for sidewall shingles not for roofing
It’s now been 4 years after your repair, how did it hold up?
thanks, I was hit by harvey and need this. i can’t afford a roofer or food.
Hey man, I’m a contractor assistant, studying for my G.C. I wanna thank you. My company inherited a f***Ed up roof, and your video gave me some ideas on diagnosis and treatment. So I took this project on solo to prove to the boss I’m more than a day laborer. I’m a dude with a brain and a gift for physical exertion. Thanks brother.
Great video. I have a hole in my roof from a branch from a tree falling and after watching this I know with confidence I can do this repair. You explain everything very well and I appreciate you making the video. Cheers.
what kind of boots work best for sticking on shingles so that dummies like me do not slip off the roof?
You sir, are a helpful chap! You haven given me the confidence to try this myself. Keep up the good work and instruction!
Thank you for the video, really informative. But I got a question, how did you fix the ceiling in the closet?
OMG! This video might be my Hail Mary.
Exactly what I need to do to my mobile this weekend. Thanks for the info!
Thank you. I have a leak in the center beam of my house I have to fix so this was super helpful!
Thanks for the vid man. I have a big repair from a storm that just blew through and frankly don’t have the cash to fix. This will help me DIY.
Thanks for sharing. I had to replace some broken shingles from the high winds we’ve had. And had a spot leaking almost exactly where yours did. Glad to have it fixed!
Super useful info, thank you for showing the common man how to repair his home
I got good ideas from this video. Thank you for sharing!
I’m working on a very basic leak near the edge of the roof, and this walkthrough was very helpful. Thank you.
Same here.
