Most of our roofing shingles are the GAF brand. We do carry other brands, as well. The reason we like GAF is that they have various options, including a limited lifetime warranty and different safety features on some of their products. They have several different colors and styles available, too, which allows for some customization depending on the style and appearance of your home.

How we Repair Roof Shingles?

Torn, broken, or rotten shingles should be replaced.  Start by lifting the edges of the old shingle and removing nails with a nail puller or pry bar.  Slide the shingle free and be careful to remove any dried on roof cement.  If your shingles have been blown off in a storm, you will still need to remove remaining nails.  Next, you can slide the new shingle under the remaining shingles and align it according to the surrounding shingles.  You will need to fasten then new shingle with galvanized roofing nails at each of the top corners of the shingle.  Next, cover nail heads with roof cement and then cover the top of the shingle with the overlapping, original shingles.  You can use a bit more roof cement to attach the old shingles to the new one. 

Take a look at the following guide to mendable roof damage:

Roof leaks caused by roofing material wear or normal aging

This category includes wearing out of roof covering materials (shingles, slates, membranes) and corrosion or rusting through of roof flashings or sealants.

All roofing materials and coverings can be expected to age and wear with the passage of time and particularly with exposure to sun and various weather conditions.

Damaged Flashing
Flashing is the material that protects the crease between fixtures like chimneys or skylights and the roof. It is usually made of sheet metal or plastic. There is also flashing for the venting pipes under your roofing material. If the flashing is cracked, loose or worn, the area around these fixtures will be vulnerable to rain and moisture.
