Am 70 years old and have always called a roofer. Had a windstorm last week and lost two shingles. Roofer wanted $240US to replace just two shingles. Watched your video and another one, got the supplies I needed (wished they sold just two shingles instead of having to purchase and entire bundle for just two shingles) and went to work. Took me about 90 minutes as I proceeded slowly. I did run into a problem in that my roof shingles are 39" and the new standard is 36 inches but I worked it out. The repairs look very good. Thanks for the instruction, it was very helpful.

In a lower pitch roof (2/12) do you put the nails further from the edge of the bottom of the shingle above it. I know they typically put the shingles a little lower for less exposure. Thanks

I'm happy to hear you were able to do your own repairs! I personally wouldn't use a product like 'liquid nails' for this application but I'd be willing to bet there's no problem with using it. I generally use something that has flexible properties so it can expand or contract with any temperature fluctuations.

Thanks! Any elastomeric exterior caulking would work well and what's used generally comes down to preference in this region. Nail height depends on roof deck thickness; for this 7/16" OSB roof deck, 1 1/4" roofing nails were used. Most people don't seal the shingles down after replacing but I always do.

I personally used mulco brand exterior sealant. I'm honestly not much of a fan of tar but there are a couple different options when it comes to tar... The 'black roofing sealant' you chose may have been intended for over top of a shingle- but there are types that are moreso meant for adhesion (or when dabbing the back side of a shingle)

If they are just no longer sealed to the row below, I would advise dabbing the backs of the shingle tabs (with caulking) yes. If they have become bent to the point of making a crease or have been worn in any way from being folded over, I would advise replacing the affected shingles.
