Lost shingles in the storm? Can you fix them yourself?
Straight answers from TruRoof, storm and hail damage roof repair in Fort Thomas, KY.
You lost a few shingles in that windstorm. You're handy and think you can just nail new ones on. You don't want to pay for a small repair. Fort Thomas homes face this every time a storm rolls through.
Missing shingles happen when wind gets under the edges and tears them loose. Hail can crack the surface too. Even one missing shingle lets water seep under the ones around it. You might see bare spots on your roof or pieces in the yard. That's a leak waiting to happen.
Replacing one shingle costs about $20 in materials if you have the right nails, sealant, and a matching shingle. But you also need a safe ladder and the skill to work on a slope. If you break the seal on nearby shingles or nail in the wrong spot, you create a bigger leak. For more than two shingles, the risk goes up fast.
If it's just one shingle and you know roof safety, you might handle it. But check for hidden damage first. Look for lifted edges or cracked shingles around the gap. If you see more than two missing, call TruRoof. We inspect for free and can spot damage you'd miss, including the stuff insurance adjusters look for.
Once your roof is sealed tight again, you can stop worrying about every rain cloud. No buckets in the attic, no stains on the ceiling. Just a dry home and the peace of mind that comes with knowing it's done right.
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."
