Roof repair tools in Dunwoody, GA

Stanley Wonder Bar Pry Tool — When you're repairing a roof, the hardest part can be getting under the shingles without damaging the ones around them. This thin-edged pry bar makes it easy. We use it to gently lift shingle tabs and expose the nails underneath without cracking or tearing the surrounding material. It’s strong enough to pop nails and flexible enough to wiggle under tight spots. Whether you're replacing a single tab or removing a few feet of ridge cap, this tool lets you work fast without making more work for yourself later.

Estwing 16-oz Straight-Claw Hammer — A good hammer can speed up a repair like nothing else. This one is lightweight enough for all-day work but still packs a solid punch. The magnetic face makes it easy to start nails one-handed—especially helpful when you're on a ladder or holding shingles in place. It pulls old nails with the straight claw and drives new galvanized ring-shanks smoothly without slipping. We use this exact hammer on patch jobs, ridge cap repairs, and even full shingle replacements. It’s dependable, balanced, and built to last.

Henry Wet Patch Roof Cement — When you’ve got a small gap or crack to fix, you want a product that sticks the first time—even when it’s damp or cold outside. This roof cement is thick, tacky, and designed to grab onto flashing, shingles, pipe boots, or anything else on the roof. We use it around vent pipes, chimney bases, nail heads, and patch seams. It even works when the surface isn’t bone dry, which makes it perfect for emergency leak repairs in the early morning or right after a storm. Just trowel it in, spread it flat, and you’re done.

Dicor 4-inch Roof Repair Tape — Metal flashing doesn’t last forever—sometimes it splits, lifts, or gets damaged by tree limbs. This self-adhesive tape is a quick, clean way to fix that without ripping out a whole section. Just clean the surface, peel the backing, and press it in place. It self-seals around vents, skylights, and seams. We’ve used this on everything from RV roofs to chimney corners, and it holds up through sun, rain, and wind. Keep a roll in your toolbox—it’s a great fallback for when you don’t have time to redo flashing from scratch.

Milwaukee Hook Utility Blades — Cutting asphalt shingles cleanly is tougher than it looks, especially when you need straight, neat edges on starter strips, ridge caps, or valleys. These curved hook blades glide through bundles without tearing the fiberglass mat or leaving frayed edges. We use them for trimming replacement tabs, cleaning up odd-shaped valleys, or cutting off old seal-down strips. They stay sharp longer than straight blades and give you more control when working on hot, sticky days. Just load one into any standard utility knife and you’re ready to go.

DEWALT 12V Max Impact Driver — Sometimes nails aren’t the best option—especially when working with metal panels, ridge vents, or replacement flashing. This compact impact driver delivers just the right amount of torque for driving screws into tight corners, metal surfaces, and awkward overhangs. It’s lightweight and fits into small spots where a regular drill won’t go. We use it for fastening metal caps, securing vent boots, or tightening screws on new ridge vents. The battery lasts a full day on one charge, and it’s small enough to carry in a pouch on the roof.

Gardner 4-Gallon Roof Coating — Once you’ve sealed a roof patch, it’s smart to add a protective coat that can handle UV rays, rain, and Georgia heat. This white, reflective coating brushes on like paint but adds a weatherproof layer that keeps leaks out and sun damage down. We use it on flat roof repairs, skylight curbs, and older patched sections where shingles have started to break down. It helps bounce heat off the roof and prolong the life of anything it covers. Great for mobile homes, garage roofs, and older low-slope sections.

Roof-Work Safety Harness Kit — We never step onto a steep roof or second-story ridge without a harness—and we recommend every homeowner or helper do the same. This kit includes a full-body harness, anchor, and lanyard—all basic but solid gear to keep you from falling. It sets up in under 10 minutes, and once it’s clipped in, you can move confidently and safely across the roof. For the price of a dinner out, you get peace of mind every time you climb a ladder. We’ve been using this same model for years—it’s simple, reliable, and could save your life.
