  1. good morning, three or four shingles have blown off my daughters roof. the shingles that are missing are on the very edge of the roof. it shouldn't require too much work to replace those shingles & hopefully it won't cost too much. can you send info on how to replace shingles and the cost involved. we thought it was the chimney leaking but the chimney is on the opposite end of the house. the children's bedroom is directly under the missing shingles. water is leaking thru when it rains. thanks

  4. I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY STILL SELLING THOSE PLASTIC BASE COLLAR JACKS. THEY ALWAYS BREAK WHERE U NAIL THEM OR SHRINK WHEN U DON'T PUT ENOUGH NAILS.

  5. Yeah, you guys have a lot more heat to contend with, and I bet the older OSB has turned to sawdust by now . . .

    In this subdivision you're looking at, half of the roofs were done with staples, the other half with pneumatic nails. The OSB was actually half decent.

    Some of the areas we've been in the OSB had never been directly exposed to the weather and was just "gone." Different quality points, for sure . . .

    When I do repairs I always use CDX plywood so I can sleep at nght.

  6. @MdRoofingServices, I always found staples work better with OSB chip board. nails just seem to blow holes into the material, the main reason for over driven nails, or blow through's. OSB, as shingles are just trash being used for building materials. out west here in calif, heat, the sun, and pollution, play hell with asphalt shingles.

  7. All of the shingles I've renailed in this neighborhood are holding just fine. The shingles are only nine years old — I know, sometimes 25 year shingles don't last that long . . .

    Most of the nails were "blown through" during installation; the ones that were nailed properly (about 40%) are holding OK.

    I like what you commented on — it does happen . . .

  8. Sometimes I wonder about that. I think in our state it's because roofing contractors don't have to have the same licensing — in fact none at all — to do the work.

    That usually means that even the "minimum standards" required by licensing don't even come into play.

  10. Sorry, Bob G, we're a local company in the Maryland Suburbs of Washington, D.C. Good luck, and try to find a contractor that uses before, during, and after pictures as part of their package.
