Can Damaged Shingles Be Replaced Individually?

Yes, damaged shingles can be replaced individually in Palm Beach County. Individual shingle replacement is the most common type of roof repair for shingle roofs and is highly cost-effective when damage is limited to a small number of shingles. The key is that the replacement shingles should match the existing shingles as closely as possible in color and profile, and the underlying deck and underlayment must be sound.

When Individual Shingle Replacement Is Appropriate

• A limited number of shingles (1-20) are cracked, missing, or damaged by storm impact

• The rest of the shingle roof is in good condition with significant remaining lifespan

• A closely matching replacement shingle is available

• The underlying deck and underlayment are undamaged

How Individual Shingle Replacement Is Performed

1. The damaged shingle is carefully removed by lifting the tabs of overlapping shingles above it

2. The nail strip of the damaged shingle is exposed and nails are removed

3. The underlying deck and underlayment are inspected for any damage

4. The replacement shingle is slid into position and fastened with the correct number of nails at the proper position per code requirements

5. The tabs of overlapping shingles are re-sealed with roofing cement
