This is almost unbelievable. A neighbor ask me how to do a quick repair on
his shingles. He hired a contractor to put siding on the back of his home.
The back goes up one story then a roof over the laundry room and two stories
up to the top of the house. Now this contractor has been in business at
least 30 years. His crew drove nails through the shingles, I presume to hold
the ladders in place on the sloped shingle roof. There are at least 15 nails
sticking through the shingles. There is no rain in the forecast for the next
few days. He wanted my help. The first advice is to take a lot of pictures.
I suspect this will get nasty.
I did also tell him not to pull the nails. Wondering if a little roof cement
or silicone around each nail would make a very temporary patch?
