DIY vs. Call a Pro
Small repairs (1-3 shingles) on a low-pitch roof can be DIY. Use a flat bar to lift surrounding shingles, remove damaged ones, slide in replacements, and nail securely. Apply roofing cement to seal.
Call a professional when:
Call a pro if damage covers more than a few shingles, if your roof is steep, or if you see damaged underlayment beneath the shingles.
