Help with repairing holes in roof due to satellite installation
There are numerous varieties of roofing cement. Most are "plastic roofing cement" some are "rubberized roofing cement" To the untrained the two are the same, but they are not. I find the palstic roofing cement easily cracks after a few years if not reinforced or sandwiched between two layers of something. I usually opt for the rubberized roofing cement, or actually usually neoprene roofing cement. I prefer the neoprene for logistical reasons, it'll stick to nearly anything, while the plastic or rubberized roofing cement shouldn't be used on most roofs.
If I were called out to give you an estimate on this repair, this is how I would approach it.
Tear off the damaged shingle(s), anything less will be a patch job which may potentially leak in the future.
Cut felt to inspect deck to make sure the rott isn't too severe, if the rott is too severe I would have to replace some wood. I would indicate this as being a possible extra.
I would install a bit of ice shield where the felt was cut/removed.
I would reshingle the couple of shingles I removed.
