Roof repair recommendations - update: did DIY

2 years ago by cAUzapNEAGLb to c/orlando

In last night's storm my tar rolled roof got a small puncture leading to a leak inside. Does anyone recommend or caution against a company to fix it?

I appreciate your answer and it gives me some confidence to try it out!

Watching tutorials now to figure out technique and what supplies to get, like this one: https://youtu.be/B6d3a-cp45Y?si=TwOoIL45T09eN61A

And the process does seem fairly straightforward, like patching drywall just with a different compound

Wanted to update, I followed that tutorial, got everything (except the primer, couldn't find that) at ace, including tools, for $50.

I followed the guide, swept the area, filled the puncture with the tar, troweled around, placed the mesh, and troweled it all in place flush with the surface.

Yesterday's rain was a good soak, and not a drop inside!

Thanks!
