I got tired of going out and picking up roofing shingles that have been blowing off a small area of my back porch roof with all these windy days lately. I shove them back on where I see they have blown off. I finally got the idea of weighing them down with a few bricks. Not aesthetic, but so far, effective. I don't understand why they are so crumbly and pull right off around the nails and they aren't that old. Sometimes I think contractors install used materials to cut costs.
A few years ago I had to have a "patch" done on the main part of the house and the roofer didn't even try to match the color. The newer shingles look silvery next to the dark gray of the original ones. He probably just used some that were left over from another job.
