Missing shingles after a wind storm? Read this first.
Honest answers from TruRoof, roof repair in Kenwood, OH.
You step outside after a Kenwood wind storm and see shingles scattered across the yard. Bare spots stare back at you from the roof. You wonder if water is already getting in.
After a strong wind storm, shingles can tear loose. The glue strips fail, and the wind peels them back. You might see bare wood or felt paper. Even one missing shingle opens a path for rain. In Kenwood, spring and summer storms often bring gusts over 50 mph. Those gusts hit the roof edges hardest.
Repairing a few missing shingles usually takes a few hours. If the decking underneath is rotted, the job grows. Most small repairs cost a few hundred dollars, but if water has spread, you may need more. TruRoof gives a straight price after inspecting, not a guess.
Do not climb onto the roof. Wet or steep roofs are dangerous. Take clear photos from the ground. Then call TruRoof for a free inspection. We check the whole roof, not just the missing shingles. We spot hidden cracks, lifted flashing, and wet decking. We also help with insurance claims if the storm caused widespread damage.
Once the repair is done, your roof is watertight again. You won't worry every time it rains. The shingles match, and the bare spots are gone. Your home is protected, and you can put the storm behind you.
What people in Kenwood 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."

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.
