Can I replace a few shingles myself?
Straight answers for Green Township homeowners from TruRoof, your local storm and hail damage roof repair team.
You lost a few shingles when that storm blew through Green Township. You're handy, you've got a ladder, and you figure nailing on a few replacements is no big deal. It looks like a small job, and you'd rather not pay a service call fee for something you can handle yourself.
After a storm in Green Township, you might see bare spots where shingles used to be. Wind lifts the edges and tears them off. What you can't see from the ground is that nearby shingles may have broken seals or tiny cracks. Even one loose shingle can let water in, leading to rot and mold.
Replacing one or two shingles yourself is possible if you have the right materials. You need matching shingles, roofing nails, and sealant. You also need a safe ladder setup. But prying up shingles can damage the waterproof layer underneath. One wrong nail can create a new leak. A small pro repair often costs less than a big water damage bill later.
Before you climb a ladder, get a trained eye on your roof. TruRoof offers free storm damage inspections in Green Township. We check for hidden damage and document everything for your insurance company. If the job is tiny, we'll tell you. If it's bigger than it looks, we can handle the claim and the repair so you don't have to.
Once the repair is done, your roof is solid again. No more worrying every time it rains. You know the job was done right, and your home is protected for the next storm.
What people in Green Township 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."
