Missing shingles after that wind storm?
What to do, what not to do, and who to call for roof repair in Fort Thomas, KY.
You walk outside in Fort Thomas after a storm and see shingles on the grass. Bare spots on the roof. You don't know if water is already seeping in or what to do first. That sinking feeling is normal. Here's the next step.
Wind tears shingles off, leaving the underlayment exposed. Even one missing shingle can let water in, especially on older homes in Fort Thomas's tree-lined neighborhoods like along Highland Avenue. The shingles you found are a sign. The roof is no longer sealed. Don't wait.
A small repair, replacing a few shingles, might run a couple hundred dollars. If the wind lifted more than you can see, the decking underneath may be soft. That takes more work. A roofer will check the whole roof, not just the bare spots. Most insurance policies cover storm damage, minus your deductible.
Take photos from the ground. Do not climb up. Then call a roofing company that handles storm damage. TruRoof offers 24/7 emergency roof repair in Fort Thomas. We'll check for hidden damage and help you decide if a repair is enough or if you need a full replacement. The sooner you act, the less water gets in.
After the repair, your roof will be watertight again. No more worrying every time it rains. The shingles will match, and the seal will hold. You can get back to normal life in Fort Thomas, with a roof that stands up to the next storm.
What people in Fort Thomas 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 Fort Thomas 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.
how much does roof repair cost
Small repairs like replacing a few shingles or sealing flashing can cost $300 to $800. Bigger repairs with decking replacement run higher. Ask for a repair quote before committing to anything larger.
