In last night’s storm my tar rolled roof got a small puncture leading to a leak inside. Does anyone recommend or caution against a company to fix it?

      Very similar indeed. Making sure that the patch compound has a clean and dry surface to adhere to is very important. You can do this :)

        Wanted to update, I followed that tutorial, got everything (except the primer, couldn’t find that) at ace, including tools, for $50.

        I followed the guide, swept the area, filled the puncture with the tar, troweled around, placed the mesh, and troweled it all in place flush with the surface.

        Yesterday’s rain was a good soak, and not a drop inside!

        Thanks!

          Awesome. Glad I could help. I would also consider getting some damp-rid and placing it near where the leak was inside. Try to get ahead of any mold that may form.
