Now it’s time to insert the new laminate after pushing the shingle in place put the nail in place tap it until it stands alone and then drive the nail on in. After we have replaced the new shingles we can go ahead and seal the shingles in place. The reason we do this is because when you remove the tabs you break the seal so now the shingle doesn’t have any adhesion it is only held by nails and this is not acceptable. We only use the best sealants such as GEO Seal and Solar Seal these products keep their elasticity. Usually you will put a few dabs where the nail go and push the shingle into it. This prevents any future blow offs in that area.
