Missing shingles after a wind storm? Here’s what to do.
Straight answers from TruRoof, your local storm and hail damage roof repair team in Finneytown, OH.
You step outside your Finneytown home after last night’s wind storm and see shingles scattered on the grass. Your roof looks patchy, with bare spots where shingles used to be. You’re not sure if water is already getting in, and you need answers fast.
Wind storms in Finneytown can tear shingles right off your roof. The wind catches an edge and rips the shingle away, leaving the underlayment or wood deck exposed. This happens more on older roofs where the sealant has dried out. Even one missing shingle is a problem. Rain can seep in and rot the decking or soak your attic insulation.
Repair cost depends on how many shingles are missing and whether there’s hidden damage. Replacing a few shingles might cost a few hundred dollars. If the wind damaged flashing or the roof deck, the price climbs. If your roof is past 15 years old, patching may not make sense. A full replacement could save you from recurring repairs. If the wind also loosened other shingles, a larger area may need work. We always check the whole roof, not just the obvious spots. Insurance often covers storm damage, so your out-of-pocket cost might just be the deductible. TruRoof gives you an honest assessment and helps with paperwork so you know what to expect.
Do not climb on your roof. It’s slippery and dangerous after a storm. Take photos from the ground of the bare spots and any shingles in the yard. Then call TruRoof for a free storm damage inspection in Finneytown. We check for leaks, document the damage for your insurance claim, and put up a tarp if needed to stop more water from entering. Once we inspect, you get a clear plan. If a repair is enough, we schedule it fast. If replacement is smarter, we explain why and handle the insurance details. You won’t be left guessing.
After the repair, your roof is sealed tight. You stop worrying every time clouds roll in. The new shingles are matched to your existing roof, so the fix is nearly invisible. You can move on, knowing your home is safe.
What people in Finneytown 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."
