First, determine whether the shingle itself is still in good condition or requires replacement. In either case, take a good shingle of the same width and approximate thickness as the old one and slip it under the course above. If you find an old nail is getting in the way, you may have to get creative to pound it down so you can slip in the new shingle. You may find you need a crow bar or equivalent tool help lift the course above sufficiently to slip in the new shingle. If you think the roofing felt may have been compromised, sometimes a little roofing tar works well to help seal and hold the new shingle in place.
