If you have a shingle that needs replacing you might enlist the help of professionals which could set you back some serious bucks. So if you want to save, you can replace it yourself. What you need to do is get a shingle that matches the one you use. You will also need a hammer, some roofing nails, a crowbar, and a caulking gun with roof tar tube.
You have to replace the shingle on a warm day but not too hot as it could crack the shingle. Also, it is not advisable to do it on a cold day for obvious reasons. First thing you have to do is to remove the damaged shingle carefully as not to break any undamaged shingle, use the crowbar for this. After the damaged shingles are cleared, align the new shingles carefully and affix them to the roof using your hammer and the roofing nails. Then use the tar roof over the head of the nails to keep water out.
