nicely done, just one more thing though. when you’re done nailing back the new shingle, you need to caulk any tabs you had to lift to keep the tabs from getting blown off. just need a few dabs should do it.

Hi Tim,
I have a question about swapping in some shingles. I have a roof that on the south side has about 10 shingles in one area that have lifted and curled due to the cold and hot weather up here in Canada. Can I just replace those shingles for now seeing it will fix a potential problem and allow us some time to save up money for a roof shingle replacement?

It depends on the temperature. When the shingle is warm, they are like taffy.

I always call that shingle type the *checker pattern* or *even pattern shingle* lol even though that style is older, i think it looks better than the other ones.
i’m curious, how much flexibility does a shingle tab like that have?

After breaking the seal of the existing shingle you need to use an asphault sealent after the repair so the new shingle will not blow off. 3 tab shingles are really bad about blowing off. Don’t nail high either!

Many thanks! It gets sooooooo frustrating. My only wish is that folks like you stopped by more often and jumped into the fray before I do. The haters can indeed get under one’s skin. Some days I am able to be nicer than others.

You can add a new piece of underlayment. Just make sure it slides under the piece above and laps over at the sides and bottom. 95% of all leaks are found at flashings.
