Lost shingles in the storm? Can I fix them myself?
Before you climb that ladder, read this: storm and hail damage roof repair in Anderson Township, OH.
You lost a few shingles in that last hailstorm that rolled through Anderson Township. You're handy, you've got a ladder, and it looks like an easy fix. But before you grab your nail gun, there are a few things that can turn a quick patch into a bigger headache.
After a storm, missing shingles are common. Hail can crack the asphalt, and wind can lift the tabs. If you see bare spots, the waterproof seal underneath might already be broken. One loose shingle often means several nearby were weakened. Shingles overlap, so one missing piece can let water sneak under the others. In Anderson Township, storms off the Ohio River can hit your roof hard, even if your neighbor's looks fine.
Replacing one or two shingles yourself takes about an hour and costs under $50 in materials. But if you don't match the shingle type or nail pattern, you can void your roof warranty. If you break the seal on good shingles while prying them up, you create new leak points. A repair that starts small can turn into a full section replacement. For anything more than a few shingles, a pro job usually costs less than the water damage you'd risk.
If you see three or fewer shingles missing and you're comfortable on a ladder, you can try a careful patch. But if you spot lifted shingles, cracked edges, or granules in the gutter, stop. That's hidden damage. Call TruRoof for a free inspection. We'll check for hail hits, measure wind uplift, and document everything for your insurance. Don't let a small fix today turn into a ceiling leak during the next rain.
Once the damaged shingles are replaced and sealed, your roof is tight again. You won't have to worry every time it rains. If you filed an insurance claim, you'll have paperwork to back up the work. Your home stays dry, and you can get back to enjoying Anderson Township's parks and river views without a roofing project hanging over your head.
What people in Anderson Township 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."
