How to Fix an Asphalt Roof
Fixing an asphalt roof involves several steps, depending on the extent of the damage. Here’s our process for fixing an asphalt roof issue.
1. Inspect the Roof
- Safety First: Use a sturdy ladder and safety gear to inspect the roof.
- Identify Damage: Look for missing, cracked, curled, or blistered shingles, as well as any signs of leaks or water damage.
2. Gather Materials and Tools
- Materials: Asphalt shingles, roofing nails, roofing cement, roofing tar, and underlayment.
- Tools: Hammer, utility knife, roofing nails, pry bar, caulk gun, and a ladder.
3. Remove Damaged Shingles
- Loosen Shingles: Use a pry bar to carefully lift the edges of the damaged shingles and the nails holding them in place.
- Remove Nails: Gently pull out the nails securing the damaged shingle to the roof deck.
- Take Out Shingles: Slide the damaged shingle out, taking care not to damage the surrounding shingles.
4. Install New Shingles
- Position New Shingle: Slide the new shingle into place, aligning it with the existing shingles.
- Nail Down: Secure the new shingle with roofing nails just above the tab slots, ensuring the nail heads are covered by the shingle above.
- Seal Edges: Apply roofing cement under the edges of the new shingle to seal it and prevent wind from lifting it.
5. Repair Minor Cracks or Holes
- Clean Area: Remove debris from the damaged area.
- Apply Roofing Cement: Use roofing cement to fill small cracks or holes. Spread it evenly with a trowel.
- Add a Patch (if necessary): For larger cracks, cut a piece of new shingle to fit over the damaged area and secure it with roofing cement and nails.
6. Check for Leaks
- Inspect Inside: After the repair, inspect the inside of your home for signs of leaks.
- Monitor During Rain: Pay attention to any signs of water infiltration during the next rain to ensure the repair is effective.
7. Perform Regular Maintenance
- Regular Inspections: Periodically inspect your roof for damage and wear.
- Clean Gutters: Keep gutters clean to prevent water backup that can damage the roof.
By following these steps, you can effectively fix an asphalt roof and extend its lifespan. For more extensive damage or if you're unsure of the repair process, consider hiring our professional roofing company to ensure the job is done correctly.
