How to properly replace shingles on an old shed roof
In short: General contractor Tom Silva demonstrates the correct method for reshingling a leaking shed roof. This guide covers identifying roof damage, removing old materials, and repairing the underlying sheathing to ensure a watertight finish.
The process involves assessing the roof's condition to identify leaks before beginning the work. Once the existing shingles are removed, any damaged sheathing must be patched to create a solid foundation for the new materials.
Completing the job typically takes about 4 hours, though the total time depends on the shed's dimensions. For a standard area of 100 square feet, the estimated cost is approximately $115.
