Four nails is usually the manufacturers minimum requirement for warranty. I would agree with putting 5 nails in you architectural shingles as they do weigh more than standard shingles, and it only helps to better distribute the weight load.

If it is a wood shingle, two nails should be used - just in from the sides about 3/4" +/- and covered by the shingles to be nailed on above. Asphalt shingles usually take 4 or five nails placed above the tabs on the line that is marked (nailing patterns are always on the package and must be followed for the manufacturer's guarantee to be in effect).

A leaking roof can be a headache for many owners. In addition, a leaking roof can cause extensive water damage inside a home, potentially damaging the foundation. A shingle roof is simple to repair.

If there is any damage, repair it with silicone or roofing tar. Place the new shingle under the existing roof shingles, and nail in place. Make sure no other shingles were dislodged.
