  Steps for Repairing Damaged Shingles
  
  1. The first step is to look for missing or rotten shingles. If the shingle is pulled out very easily from the roof, then it is rotten.
  
  2. You can lift the edges of the shingles that are surrounding the damaged or rotten by pulling up the nails using a small pry bar. But, make sure not to damage the good shingles in the process and puncturing the roof deck.
  
  3. Slide the new shingle in place of the old one and align it with others. You can also take help of Rio Grande roof repairing services as this makes your work easier.
  
  4. If at all, you see that the shingles are not damaged enough to replace them then you can flatten them and attach them to the roof on a warm day when they are relatively soft with the help of roofing cement.
  
  Always remember to choose a reliable vendor who'd give you some warranty on the repair performed, so that you're assured of a long-term solution.
