While roof repairs can be expensive and extensive, most leaks can be repaired in a cost-effective manner.
On yesterday's project, I was dealing with a leak in an add-on where the roof met the add-on roof. The sheetrock had been ruined and much had to be replaced.
I removed all the loose shingles and used a fiberous tar sealer to fill all the cracks and holes.
I then went back with new shingles and roofed like you normally do roofing. This completely sealed the joint between the two roofs.
It is very important to get rid of all loose and bad shingles no matter how many are bad. In this case we had whole sections that had blown up with the wind and were not nailed properly.
If you can, it's better if you can do it on a warm day so the glue backing will stick to the shingles properly.
Happy Roofing
