Missing shingles after the wind storm? Don't climb up.
Missing shingles in the yard? TruRoof, Fairfield's storm damage roof repair contractor, tells you what to do.
You walked outside after the storm and saw shingles scattered across the lawn. Parts of your roof are bare. You're wondering if water is already leaking into your attic. In Fairfield, where spring and summer storms roll through fast, this is a common headache. You need someone to check for hidden damage before it gets worse.
Wind lifts shingles at the edges first. If the adhesive seal is old or the shingle is worn, one gust can tear it off. You might see missing patches or curled edges. Sometimes the protective mat below is exposed. That mat alone won't keep water out for long. A single missing shingle can let rain seep in and soak the wood decking, leading to rot.
A minor repair for a few missing shingles usually takes a couple of hours and can cost between $300 and $700, depending on roof pitch and shingle type. Larger areas may need a full roofing section replaced. If the damage is widespread after a hailstorm, insurance might cover a full roof. The adjuster looks for bruising, granule loss, and broken seals. TruRoof can walk you through that process.
Stay off the roof. Take photos from the ground showing the bare spots and any shingles in the yard. Then call TruRoof at [phone] for a free storm damage inspection. We'll check the attic for water stains, measure the shingle thickness, and document everything for your insurance company. The sooner you call, the less chance there is for unseen water damage to spread. Many Fairfield neighbors get this fixed within a few days.
Once the repair is done, your roof is watertight again. The bare spots are covered with matching shingles. The attic stays dry. You can stop worrying every time a storm rolls through, because you know the roof is solid. And if you need to file a claim, the paperwork is already handled.
What people in Fairfield 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."
