Missing shingles after a wind storm?
Fast answers and next steps from a storm and hail damage roof repair team in Greendale, IN.
You walked outside after that wind storm and saw shingles on the lawn. Bare spots on your roof are hard to miss. Greendale homes, from the historic streets near the Welcome Center to newer neighborhoods off I-275, took a beating. You need to know if water is getting in and what to do right now.
Shingles don't just blow off by accident. Strong wind gets under the edge and snaps the seal. Once one goes, the ones around it are weak too. Bare wood exposed to rain means water can sneak into your attic. You might not see a leak inside yet, but that damage is already starting.
Fixing a few missing shingles often costs less than waiting. A small repair on one slope of your roof is different from wind damage spread across the whole house. If the shingles are old or the mat underneath is brittle, a partial patch won't hold. The scope depends on how many are gone and whether the decking is wet.
Don't climb up. Take photos from the ground. Cover broken windows with plywood if needed. Then call TruRoof. We inspect for free, document every spot, and walk you through what your insurance adjuster will want to see. That paperwork step saves you a headache later.
Once fixed, you stop worrying every time it rains. Your roof is sealed tight again. No bare wood, no guessing. You know the house can handle the next Ohio Valley storm that rolls through Greendale.
What people in Greendale 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."
