Abstract

A shingle removing implement can include a flat blade adapted to be inserted underneath the designated shingle, and an elongated handle extending a substantial distance from the blade to cause the blade to exert a lifting action on the shingle. An arcuate plate is secured to the back surface of the blade, to form a wedge structure that facilitates a prying action of the blade on the shingle.
