Hi this is Steve from RoofTwins.com. We specialize in roof repair in Aldie,
Virginia. Here many of the homes are very high and susceptible to having
their roof singles blowing off,due to the strong winds, and needing
immediate repair.
Now, when you look at this picture, these are the four most common reasons
why we see roof shingles blowing off.
Here, the two nails were over-driven through the roof shingles, and that
happens when the air pressure from the air compressor to the nail gun was
set too high. The nail head should always be laying flush to the top of the
shingle.
Now this picture shows two roof nails fastened way too high, and to be
perfectly honest with you, I don't know what this contractor was thinking.
Nails should always be placed in the tar line, so this way it's holding the
underlying shingles into place as well.
Now staples used to be a very common many years ago, but most
roofers, they use roofing nails. Nails can hold the shingles into place
much better than staples, and also most building codes do not allow staples
in new construction.
Now in this picture, whenever you see rotted plywood, remove and replace it.
So this way, the shingles are being fastened into something really strong
and secure, and you don't have to worry about the roof shingles blowing
off.
