At any angle, and on any roof pitch, my pneumatic tear off tool rips apart most any roofing material; flashings, valleys, and all.

What's the best way to patch a small hole in roof with all new shingles?

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010 at 5:45 pm  
Comments (1)

I had new 30-year architecture grade off-white shingles put on after I moved into my house 5 years ago. I live in an area where it is usually dry enough that we can use swamp coolers in the summer to cool our houses.

To connect the water to my swamp cooler, the previous owners ran copper tubing from an interior sink supply through walls and up through the roof. When the installers put on my shingles, they cut a slit in the shingle to fit around the tubing and put some silicone glue around the tubing and onto the shingle.

I am going to remove the tubing, which will leave about a 3/8- to 1/2-inch hole in the roof.

In winter, we have been known to get down to 30 or 40 below 0; in the summer, we get up to about 110 deg F.

What’s the best way to patch the hole with minimal unsightliness, but with the most durability so the patch can last as long as the shingles? If a patch can’t last that long, then what kind of patch would last the longest and still not be too unsightly?
