Replace a Damaged Shingle

Asphalt shingles withstand years of abuse from wind, rain, sleet and snow, but they can tear like cardboard when struck by a falling tree limb or branch. Replacing the shingle only takes about 10 minutes — just be careful not to damage any other shingles. Stay off the roof in hot weather when the shingles tear easily and walking on them can strip off the coating.
