A hole in your roof can be truly bad news unless you get prompt repair. To detect any possible holes, keep your eyes open for the following signs of damage to your roofing, particularly after a heavy rain or snowstorm.
Tree Damage Powerful winds can knock a branch or even an entire tree onto your roof, gouging a hole. Check the roof in the aftermath of an especially severe storm. Nail Hole An empty nail hole or an incorrectly placed nail may not seem like a major deal, but either of these may spell big trouble for your roof. Satellite Dish Removal If you’re removing an old satellite dish and decide to take down the mount as well, you’ll leave behind holes in your roof from the attachment screws. Seals around Penetrations Roof penetrations, like vents, chimneys, or skylights, must be well sealed. A broken or inadequate seal literally opens your roof up to problems.
Rust or Rot With time and weather exposure, a metal roof could develop rust holes. Similarly, wooden roofing components may eventually rot.
Poor Quality Roof Repair Repairs by an amateur or unscrupulous roofer just might leave the situation in worse shape, especially if the would-be repairperson walks around on your roof.
It’s a really, really bad idea to ignore even the tiniest hole in your roof, because that can lead to:
Roof material damage. Even a small amount of moisture penetration can damage the roofing materials and left untreated, will only end up getting worse (meaning more expensive – possibly lots more expensive -- to repair).
Health hazard. Humidity that gets into your house via a hole in the roof will eventually lead to mold and mildew. These are hazardous to the health, especially for someone who suffers from asthma or other breathing difficulties, has a compromised immune system, or is an infant or elderly.
Critter access. Another danger is that a hole in your roof “invites” all kinds of unwanted animal life inside. Think squirrels, mice, or raccoons.
Check your attic for one or more of the following warning signs of a hole in the roof:
You may be able to make a minor DIY roof repair IF (and only if):
Otherwise, it’s a much better idea to hire a reliable roofing contractor who can fix up the hole professionally.
Once the roof repair is complete, treat related problems, such as mold or bubbling paint.

“Five thousand years from now some sentient being will stumble upon the ruins of that giant helmet-head of a stadium in Arlington, Texas, and wonder how it all came to be. Hopefully, a copy of Granberry's and Murchison's amazing Hole in the Roof will still be around to tell them.”—Ben Fountain, author of Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk , winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction and a finalist for the National Book Award -- Ben Fountain “ Hole in the Roof is a riveting page turner. It succeeds in providing a gripping insider’s tale that is at times a biography, business book, and sports history. It also delivers a surprisingly moving chapter, appropriately titled ‘Bizarre Beyond Belief,’ of how the Dallas Cowboys were unexpectedly caught up in the tumultuous aftermath of fallout from the assassination of JFK. Hole in the Roof is a book to savor.”—Gerald Posner, author of Case Closed: Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination of JFK , a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize -- Gerald Posner “Co-authors Burk Murchison and Michael Granberry have hit something here. I always thought all the ‘inside’ stories on Jerry Jones buying the Cowboys from Bum Bright had been told and retold. But with Hole in the Roof , there's a fascinating new story about Jerry almost being totally shut out of the sale. Can you imagine, for better or worse, no socks and jocks for Jerry to sort?”—Randy Galloway, 2022 inductee in the Texas Sports Hall of Fame, now retired after 50 years as a sports columnist for the Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and 29 years as a sports-talk radio host -- Randy Galloway “When Clint Murchison built Texas Stadium to house his Dallas Cowboys in 1971, he changed the fortunes — and the earning power — of the NFL. He took football teams out of baseball stadiums and introduced the sport to the suburbs. He also transformed gameday from a sporting event into a luxurious experience.”—Rick Gosselin, 50-year veteran of covering the National Football League and a voter in the Pro Football Hall of Fame -- Rick Gosselin

In 1966, when the still-young Dallas Cowboys franchise ended six years of agony with their first winning season, the team’s owner and founder, Clint Murchison Jr., son of a billionaire oilman, was feeling ambitious. He believed his team would be good, even special, for years to come. With such dreams dancing in his head, Murchison found that the aging Cotton Bowl in Dallas’s Fair Park was no longer a suitable home for what would soon be dubbed “America’s Team.”
Hole in the Roof: The Dallas Cowboys, Clint Murchison Jr., and the Stadium That Changed American Sports Forever tells the story of Texas Stadium, with its trademark hole in the roof, which served the Cowboys for 38 seasons without ever requiring a penny of public dollars. In 1966, though the Cotton Bowl was one of the newer stadiums in the National Football League, Murchison saw it as an outdated venue. What he envisioned was a shiny new stadium near downtown Dallas, but to realize his vision for what a professional sports venue could be—and the many benefits that the resulting revenue could generate—he needed buy-in from Dallas city leaders.
Hole in the Roof chronicles Murchison’s founding of an extraordinary sports franchise and the battles he fought to build the stadium he wanted. Along the way, this book provides not only a sweeping biography of Clint Jr., a history of the Cowboys from before their inception in 1960 until now (including Jerry Jones), and a history of Texas Stadium, but also a critical look at how Clint's original concept of the stadium has been corrupted—by greed and avarice. Opening with a foreword by Drew Pearson, all-time Cowboy great and NFL Hall-of-Famer, and based on extensive research in both public and media archives and Murchison family records, Hole in the Roof contains the inside story of the iconic venue where the Cowboys went on to play each of their five Super Bowl-winning seasons: where Murchison proved that stadiums could be a source of revenue surpassing even television.
BURK MURCHISON, son of Clint Murchison Jr., is a partner of Murchison Capital Partners, LLP, an investment management firm based in Dallas. MICHAEL GRANBERRY is an arts and feature writer with the Dallas Morning News . A Dallas native, he has been at the newspaper since 1997, after nineteen years with the Los Angeles Times , where he began as a sportswriter.

Perhaps high winds blew a tree branch onto your roof with enough force to make a hole, or perhaps you made a hole yourself when you removed an old satellite dish or antenna. Whatever the reason for the hole, it has to be fixed posthaste, or you'll have a nasty situation in the attic the next time it rains, not to mention that a sizable hole is an invitation for small animals and birds to enter the attic.
This is a job you can DIY if you have basic carpentry skills, but you'll be working on the roof, and that's a hazard in its own right. Don't attempt this repair yourself if the roof is icy or very steep. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration defines a steep roof as any roof with a slope exceeding a pitch of 4:12, which means it rises 4 inches for every foot of horizontal distance. That's a workable slope for anyone with the right equipment doing the job in good weather, but holes in roofs with slopes much greater than that should be repaired by professionals, especially in wet or icy weather.
Set up a ladder on the side of the house and stabilize it by securing it to the fascia with ropes and hooks. Screw a 1/2-inch eye hook into the fascia on either side of the ladder and tie the ladder on each side. Wearing rubber-sole shoes, climb on the roof and look for the hole. If it isn't obvious, look in the attic for signs of water, such as damp insulation or water marks on the roof decking, and mark the hole by driving a screw through the decking so you can see it from the roof.
Use a pry bar to remove shingles, beginning above the hole and working your way down. If any part of the roof decking is water damaged, keep removing shingles until you come to undamaged decking. Remove enough shingles to create a 6-inch border of uncovered decking around the hole. Using a claw hammer, pull out any nails that didn't come out when you removed the shingles.
Using a reciprocating saw, cut out a rectangular section of decking that completely encloses the damaged area. If the damaged decking intersects a roof rafter, cut out the decking in two sections to avoid cutting through the joist. You can also do this job with a circular saw set to a cutting depth of 3/4 inch. Because a shallow cut like that won't damage a joist, you can cut out the entire section in one piece with this method.
Cut lengths of 2x4 lumber to frame the top, bottom, and sides of the opening. Screw the top and bottom frames to the roof rafters on either side of the hole using 2-inch exterior screws and then screw the sides of the frame to the top and bottom. Make sure the edges of the hole bisect the top edges of the frame by about half to provide a surface on which to screw the decking patch.
Measure the thickness of the decking (most roof decking is 5/8-inch plywood), measure the dimensions of the opening, and cut a piece of identical plywood to your measurements. Lay a bead of construction adhesive on the top edge of the frame, fit the patch into the hole, and secure it with 1 5/8-inch exterior screws.
Fill the gaps around the edges of the patch with roofing tar and then lay tar paper over the hole. Make sure the tar paper extends under the top row of shingles and extends all the way to the sides and bottom of the uncovered decking. Nail it down with 1-inch roofing nails.
Start laying shingles at the bottom of the patch and work your way toward the top. Nail the shingles to the roof decking with 1-inch roofing nails and put a dab of roofing tar over the head of each nail to keep out water.
