### Tree Limb Through the Roof — Emergency Roof Repair

**Jay, Blue Fox Roofing & Renovations:**

I'm getting ready to head up on this roof. The homeowner just showed me where a tree limb went right through it.

Naturally, he's concerned about the weather, and he should be. So I'm going up prepared. I've got my tool belt with the basics, along with some synthetic underlayment and shingles.

That's a good-sized hole! Let's get a picture and see what we're working with.

Three-tab shingles are actually pretty easy to replace because they have some flexibility. This is the one I'm trying to remove.

I'm putting a little support underneath this area. Again, this is strictly temporary — just something to provide a little extra support until a permanent repair can be made.

The way I've repaired this, it shouldn't leak. I'm mainly putting this tarp over the area so nobody accidentally steps on it.

That should take care of things for now.

Next, I'm going to look around the rest of the roof. Overall, it seems to be pretty much intact.

The tree also landed over there and caused some damage to a very low-slope section. That area really shouldn't have traditional shingles on it. It needs a roofing system specifically designed for low-slope applications.

And there you have it! A temporary repair. Maybe a little overkill, but I'd rather do it that way.
