Missing shingles after a wind storm?
What to do next from a roof repair team that knows Eastgate, OH.
You walk outside after last night's wind and see pieces of your roof in the yard. Bare spots on the roof catch your eye. You worry about water getting in before you can fix it. Homes near I-275 and Eastgate Mall take a beating from strong gusts that whip through Clermont County.
Those bare spots mean the seal on your shingles broke. High wind gets under the edge and lifts them right off. Once a shingle is gone, the underlayment is exposed. That layer is not meant to face rain and sun for long. You may also see lifted shingles nearby that look fine from the ground but lost their grip.
A repair for missing shingles usually takes a few hours for a small area. If the decking underneath is wet or rotted, the job gets bigger. Most wind repairs run from a few hundred dollars for a handful of shingles up to more if flashing or ridge caps are damaged. The cost depends on how many shingles tore off and whether the layers below stayed dry.
Do not climb up to look. Take clear photos from the ground with your phone. Check your gutters and yard for shingle pieces. Then call a roofing company that handles storm damage in Eastgate. TruRoof can come out, check for hidden damage, and talk through whether a repair or a full replacement makes sense for your roof.
When the repair is done, those bare spots are covered with new shingles that match your roof. Edges are sealed tight. You stop watching the sky every time the wind picks up. The roof is watertight again and ready for the next Ohio storm.
What people in Eastgate 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."
Other things people in Eastgate ask
water dripping from ceiling light fixture
Turn off the electricity to that room at the breaker. Place a bucket under the leak. Call for emergency roof repair right away. The roof needs a tarp and a permanent fix to stop water from getting into the wiring.
can you repair just part of a roof
A partial repair is normal when the rest of the roof has life left. An honest inspection tells you which one you need.
attic wet after rain
Mark the wet area with tape. Check the roof directly above it for missing shingles, cracked flashing, or a bad pipe boot. Water travels downhill, so the entry point may be higher than the stain. Get a pro to trace it before it rots the decking.
