To remove the damaged shingle, lift edges of surrounding shingles, remove nails. Slide-out the old shingle. When shingles are blown off by a storm, remove any protruding nails left in the roof. Nails that don't stick up can be left in place.
To make it easier to slide a new shingle, round its back corners with a sharp utility knife.
Slide new shingle into the gap, with its front edge aligned with shingles on each side and its back edge under shingles in the row above it.
Lift corners of overlapping shingles and tighten the top of the new shingle with 6d galvanized roofing nails.
To repair an open valley: Inspect valley for holes all along the joint. Mend the small holes with a similar type of sheet metal valley. Clean surface of the valley with a wire brush Cut about 2 inches bigger sheet metal.
