Minor Shingle Patch 1–2 Shingles. Walkable Roofs Only. Site-Visit First.
Limited-scope shingle patching: 1 to 2 displaced shingles on a walkable single-story pitched roof, with a mandatory site visit first. We do NOT do full roofs, multi-shingle (3+) work, flashing, chimneys, gutters, or storm-damage roofing.
Most roof problems aren't a 1-2 shingle patch — they're storm damage, flashing failure, valley issues, or underlayment rot, and those are outside our scope. NHS handles only the narrow case where 1-2 shingles got displaced from a walkable single-story pitched roof and the underlayment is intact. Anything larger is outside our scope, every time.
What's In Scope (and What's Not)
| Option | Details & price |
|---|---|
| In scope: 1-2 shingle patch | Walkable single-story pitched roof. $230-$575 with $150 trip minimum and 2-3 hour visit minimum. Always site-visit first to confirm pitch, walkability, and underlayment condition. |
| Out of scope: 3+ shingles | Anything beyond 1-2 shingles is outside our scope. |
| Out of scope: flashing / chimney / valley | Not work we do. Flashing, chimney and valley work is critical waterproofing. |
| Out of scope: storm damage | Storm-damage roofing and insurance-claim documentation are not work we do. |
| Out of scope: two-story / steep pitch | Walkable single-story only. Two-story or steep roofs are out — safety + liability. |
| Out of scope: full roof / tear-off | Full roof replacement is not handyman work, and we don't do it. |
Pricing
Range is $230-$575 for a confirmed walkable 1-2 shingle patch. Always site-visit first to verify pitch, walkability, and underlayment condition. If the visit reveals 3+ shingles, steep pitch, flashing involvement, or interior leak signs — we don't expand scope.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Nick's Handyman Service, LLC do roofing?
Mostly no. We do NOT do full roofs, multi-shingle replacement, flashing, gutters, chimney work, slate, or metal roofing. The single exception (added 2026-05-06): a 1 to 2 shingle patch on a walkable single-story pitched roof, with a mandatory site visit first. Anything larger is outside our scope.
What does a 1–2 shingle patch cost?
Range is $230–$575 for a confirmed walkable patch, with the $150 trip minimum and 2-3 hour visit minimum applying. Final price set after on-site inspection of pitch, walkability, and underlayment condition.
Why do you require a site visit before quoting a shingle patch?
Three things you can't see from the ground or photos: (1) actual pitch and walkability, (2) underlayment condition (rotted decking or soaked felt puts it outside our scope), (3) whether the loss is part of a larger storm-damage pattern, which is also outside our scope. The visit is the diagnosis — and it's how we protect customers from getting in over our head.
What if more shingles are missing once you arrive?
If the visit reveals 3+ missing shingles, steep pitch, flashing/valley/ridge issues, or interior leak signs, we don't try to expand the job — we stop there and only charge the trip minimum (or waive it for the inconvenience, owner's call). Better safe than wrong.
Will my insurance cover a roof patch?
Handyman patches typically aren't documented in a way insurance will reimburse, and storm-damage claim work is outside our scope. If you suspect storm damage and want to file a claim, call your insurance first.
