Many thanks.

This was incredibly helpful - I wouldn't have attempted this if it wasn't for this clip.

Just changed a tile it took about 20 seconds, I dont have the lifting tools so I used a couple of garden trowels, thanks for the "top right and next left" tip.

[DirTyOhGee]

Great tip bro, Those are some really thin tiles man. Ive been telling my guys for years to take the damn pry bar up with you to swap the tiles...all tho our way is slightly different than your Im going to give your technique out soon. Keep it up brotha!!!

[straydoggio]

Informative thanks. Also you look like an even handsomer Jim Carrey like in his Liar Liar film.

I normally just lift the two tiles sitting above the broken and take out the broken, put in a new one, takes about 8 seconds.

c'on guys he has tried to encourage people in this video that it is n easy job 2 replace the tile...If 1 wants 2 nail it glue it or screw it then he or she can certainly do that but the way he has replaced the tile is absolutely fine n durable...no wind or rain can displace this tile as its under weight of other tiles....

Sorry but as smooth as the video is, it is not accurate. First, it's a cedarlite roof and there are no horizontal battens which means it is direct deck applied. Which menas it requires fasteners. Which means the fasteners that were originally there need to be removed, except you didn't. And you didn't install fasteners, adhesive or any kind of clip when you said "all done". Sorry but this is innaccurate and bad advice. Call a TRI certified roofer next time.

[madamkirk]

yeah you should nail that sucker in so i doesn't slide down.

[dillonmb]

@madamkirk they are made to sit on battens so they don't slide.

[connorlangley44]

right on eric!

[SuperJmacca]

i would have cleaned the area under where the tile sits to help it lay better, even just with a quick brush. But I'm pedantic about these things.

[mysweette]

[burntrim]

Sorry Eric,

I really love you man but code requires the Monier Cedarlite tile and all lightweight tiles to be 100% nailed so you have two more steps. Remove the nail or screw with a saw or other grinding tool. Then use tile adhesive to bond the new tile to its neighboring tiles.

And for safety, liability and assurance that the entire roof system is intact, functional and leak free, call your licensed insured and bonded roofing contractor who knows all the tricks of the trade. RoofServ
