Missing shingles after that wind storm?
Local help for homeowners in Alexandria, KY, from storm and hail damage roof repair experts who know Campbell County storms.
You walked outside after the wind died down and saw pieces of shingle in the yard. Now you are looking up at bare spots on your roof, somewhere off US-27 or near A.J. Jolly Park, and wondering if water is already getting in. You need answers, not a sales pitch.
Wind tears shingles off when the seal strip breaks. Once that strip fails, the shingle flaps loose and the next gust peels it away. You see the missing spots. What you cannot see is whether the underlayment beneath is still sealed. Even one missing shingle lets rain hit the wood deck directly. In Alexandria, spring and summer storms roll through fast and hit hard, so a small gap today can mean a ceiling stain tomorrow.
Most missing shingle jobs are small repairs, a few hundred dollars, if caught early. The cost goes up if the decking is already soft or if matching shingle colors is hard on an older roof. Homes in Old Town Alexandria with original architectural shingles sometimes need a wider patch to blend. A full replacement only makes sense if the roof was near its end anyway. A good contractor will show you photos and give you an honest range, not push the bigger job.
First, do not climb up there. Wet or damaged roofs are slick. Take clear photos from the ground with your phone. Then call a roofer who handles storm damage in Alexandria. TruRoof will come out, inspect the whole roof, and check for hidden issues like lifted shingle edges or dents from hail. We also document everything for your insurance company if you decide to file a claim. That takes the pressure off you.
Once it is fixed, the bare spots are gone and the roof is tight. The shingles match. You stop worrying every time the wind picks up. Your home looks right again, and you can get back to normal life, whether that is a weekend at A.J. Jolly or just relaxing on your porch.
What people in Alexandria say
"I'm reviewing my two new roofs, on my house and my garage, installed by TruRoof. The company, and Damon Chuke, their representative, helped me work with the insurance company, and with understanding all the details of the whole process. They took out an obsolete chimney, were on time and professional, and the finished roofs and flashing are beautiful. Many compliments from neighbors. Highly recommended by me."
"We have a beautiful condo in a historic building from the 1840s. Late November had a bad leak in the dining room area. I called Britt at TruRoof who came out and inspected the entire roof of the building. He said to do the entire roof could be around $50,000. But then he started laughing and said you need to caulk the area around one of the chimneys. I thought he was nuts, but I did the caulking, which cost me about 25 bucks worth of outdoor caulk, and there are no more leaks. I cannot express my appreciation for his diligence and his honesty. That kind of a company and a person is rare these days. Highly, highly, highly recommend these guys."
"TruRoof did an outstanding job from start to finish. Communication leading up to the start date was great. Once on site and the project started, everything went as discussed, and the crew was very professional."
