Properly installed shingles provide three layers of protection, but when a shingle cracks and the crack falls right over a joint, a leak may occur. A prompt repair can save you money and lots of trouble.

on 11/22/2005 After doing this for 33 + years reading your tips and solutions was a good example of how a little information can be quite misleading (even if you do get an 'E' for effort and good intentions). You mentioned felt on wood shingles, which can be a very useful accessory in many instances but hardly ever used on new roofs. Felt is also unmentioned for shakes, which is the primary waterproofing on shakes and other large, irregular, highly cosmetic roofing (tiling) materials such as clay and concrete tile, or metal shingles.
