joeleduc Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Hello all!My garage apartment has asbestos shingles which generally are in very good condition. However a few on the back side have broken, leading to water getting in the garage.As the great majority of shingles are fine (and I currently don't have the funds to put up all new siding), are there any local companies that can replace the few that are damaged with a comparable product? The most damaged ones face a fence behind the garage, so I'm not really concerned about how well the replacements match to the existing ones; I really just want to stop the water from getting in until I can have the whole thing replaced.Thanks!Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A roofer repaired the wood shingle roof on our house in California in that manner, and it passed inspection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used this product on our house back in 2007 and it blends perfectly with our wavy-shingles. It is pricey, but if you only have a few dozen to replace, then it is quite cost-effective.
