Lost a few shingles in the storm? Can you fix it yourself?
Honest answers from TruRoof, storm and hail damage roof repair in Florence, KY.
After the last storm tore through Boone County, you noticed a couple of asphalt shingles scattered near your Florence home. The rest of the roof seems intact. You've got a hammer and ladder, so replacing a few shingles yourself feels like a smart way to save money.
What you're looking at is wind or hail damage. Shingles can lift, crack, or fly off during the sudden storms that hit Northern Kentucky. Even if it's just a few missing tabs, the underlayment below may have small punctures or tears that let water seep in slowly. You might not see a leak today, but over time moisture can rot the decking and cause bigger problems.
If you're replacing just one or two shingles and you have matching ones, roofing nails, and sealant, you might finish in an afternoon. But if you break the seal on nearby shingles or nail in the wrong spot, you create a leak. For more than a couple of shingles, a pro can check for hidden damage you'd miss.
This week, before a second storm hits, get a free inspection from TruRoof. We document damage for insurance, check for loose shingles, and give you an honest repair scope—even if it's just a few nails. Trying to seal a bigger problem yourself can void your warranty or leave you with a larger claim later.
After a quick repair, your roof sheds water correctly again. Dark clouds over Florence won't make you anxious. You'll step outside, see secure shingles, and know a small fix didn't turn into a costly leak.
What people in Florence 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."
