Lost a few shingles? Can you just nail new ones on?
Straight answers from TruRoof, storm and hail damage roof repair in Cincinnati, OH.
Cincinnati storms hit fast, especially along the I-71 corridor. After the wind dies down, you find a handful of shingles in the yard. You're handy. You think you can just grab some nails and fix it. Why pay a service call for something this small?
You lost a few shingles after a Cincinnati storm. Wind gets under the edges and peels them back. Hail can bruise or crack them too. In neighborhoods like Hyde Park or near the Roebling Suspension Bridge, older roofs often have worn sealant. Once a shingle lifts, water seeps in. Even small bare spots let rain reach the wood deck. You might not see the leak right away, but it's starting.
Replacing one shingle seems simple. You need roofing nails, a tube of sealant, and a ladder. But if you pry up the surrounding shingles wrong, you break their seal. Now you have three leaks instead of one. For more than a couple shingles, a pro job is smarter. In Cincinnati, a small repair might cost $200–$500, depending on roof pitch and material. If the storm also dented vents or flashing, the bill goes up. Your homeowners insurance may cover it. Many policies pay for storm damage, minus your deductible.
Your next step: inspect from the ground. Look for missing shingles, curling edges, or piles of granules in the gutter. Do not walk on a wet or steep roof. If you see damage beyond a single shingle, call TruRoof. We serve all of Hamilton County, from Over-the-Rhine to the suburbs off I-75. We'll check for hidden hail hits and document everything for your insurance claim. A quick call today stops a bigger problem tomorrow.
When the job is done, you can stop staring at the ceiling every time it rains. Your roof is watertight again. No more worrying about mold or rot. You saved money by catching it early, and you didn't risk a fall off a ladder. Next storm, you'll know exactly who to call.
What people in Cincinnati 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."
