About this service
Roofing nails are the critical hardware holding your shingles or panels in place. If these nails work their way up—a process called popping—they can tear through the material and create a path for leaks. You typically need a professional to drive them back down or replace them with better fasteners if they are rusting. Proper nail depth and placement are vital for wind resistance.
