Strips can come in as low as three shingles per strip however matching the same texture and color to the existing shingles can be a problem. Find a strip that matches the color as closely as possible, pick up a pair of tin snips if you do not already have some, a water proofing adhesive and roofing nails. Back on the roof remove the nails from the damaged strip of shingles. Strips overlap and the nails holding the bottom of the shingles above the damage will also need to be removed. Cut out the damaged area with the tin snips and lay in the replacement strip. Nail down the strips and use the adhesive to cover the nail heads.
