Repairing water damage from a roof leak in a ridge vent. This plywood was rotten from water damage from an aluminum ridgevent fastener in an asphalt shingle roof. After removing the aluminum ridgevent (which was uploaded as another video) we located the rotten wood and started removing shingles. We cut out the plywood and got it almost installed when we discovered that there was just a little more wood that needed to be replaced.

I left most of the footage in, instead of glazing over each part. Just to show how much detail is in each task. Below, I put in some links to different segments of the video so you could skip ahead.

The only difference between this roof repair and a field repair is the tie in at the top. A field roof repair would have included installing a shingle up underneath the shingle in the field. The last shingle in this roof repair was cut off to accept aluminum ridgevent.

The aluminum ridgevent removal and installation of this roof repair is here: not yet
