Missing shingles after a wind storm?
What to do next for your Burlington, KY roof, from a local storm and hail damage roof repair team.
You walk outside after a hard Burlington blow and spot shingle pieces scattered across the lawn. Patches of bare roof stare back at you. You worry about rain getting in before you can get it fixed.
Missing shingles leave the underlayment exposed. Wind gets under a lifted edge near the ridge or along KY-18 facing slopes and tears them loose. Once one goes, the ones around it become weak. Water can seep into the decking fast, especially during spring storms that roll through Boone County.
A small patch of three to five missing shingles often runs a few hundred dollars. If the wind tore shingles across multiple roof faces or the decking underneath is soft, the job gets bigger. Age matters too. A roof over 15 years old may need a full replacement instead of a patch. The cost shifts based on how much felt and decking needs replacing.
Do not climb a ladder to check the damage yourself. Take clear photos from the ground with your phone. Note where you found the shingle pieces in the yard. Then call TruRoof at 859-555-0199. We inspect the whole roof, document the damage for your insurance company, and tarp any open spots that same day.
Once the repairs are done, your roof is sealed tight again. The bare spots are gone. You stop watching the weather forecast with dread. The roof looks uniform from the street, and you know it can handle the next wind event.
What people in Burlington 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."
