Missing shingles after the wind storm last night?
What to do right now about storm and hail damage roof repair in Cheviot, OH.
You walk outside on a Cheviot morning after a hard wind and spot shingles in the yard. You look up and see bare spots on the roof. You are not sure if water is getting in or what to do first. You need a straight answer, fast.
A wind storm can rip shingles right off the roof deck. You see the missing spots from the ground. What you cannot see is the hidden damage. The seal strip that holds shingles down may be broken on pieces that still look fine. Rain can sneak under those loose shingles and rot the wood beneath. In Cheviot, spring and summer storms roll through fast and leave this kind of damage behind.
Fixing missing shingles is not a one price job. A small repair on a newer roof might run a few hundred dollars. If the roof is older or the storm hit a large area, the cost climbs. The real question is whether the damage is cosmetic or structural. A good inspection tells you if you need a patch job or a full replacement. Your insurance may cover most of it, but you need clear photos and a report first.
Do not climb on the roof. Take clear photos from the ground with your phone. Look for shingle pieces in the yard and save them. Then call TruRoof at (513) 555-0199. We inspect the whole roof, check for hidden wind and hail damage, and document everything for your insurance adjuster. We work on Harrison Avenue homes and all over Cheviot. The sooner you call, the less chance water has to get in.
Once the repair is done, the bare spots are gone. The roof is sealed tight. You stop worrying every time the wind picks up. Your home is dry and safe again, and you have paperwork that shows the work was done right.
What people in Cheviot 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."
