Missing shingles after the wind storm? Here's what to do.
Straight talk from TruRoof, your storm and hail damage roof repair team in Lebanon, OH.
You walked out to find shingles in your yard after the wind ripped through Lebanon. Now you're staring at bare spots on your roof, worrying about the next rain. It's a stressful moment, especially in a town with homes as old as some around The Golden Lamb.
Those shingles in your yard are a clear sign of wind damage. When strong gusts get under the edges, they can tear shingles right off. Even if you only see a few missing, the real danger is the hidden damage. Cracked seals, lifted nails, and small tears you can't spot from the ground can let water in. In Lebanon, our storms often come with driving rain, so acting fast matters.
The cost to fix missing shingles depends on how many are gone and the extent of the hidden damage. A simple repair for a handful of shingles might run a few hundred dollars. But if the wind damaged a large area or the roof is older, a full replacement could be needed. Your insurance often covers storm damage. We'll help you document everything for the adjuster, so you don't pay out of pocket for what insurance should handle.
First, don't climb on the roof. It's slippery and damaged. Take clear photos from the ground of the missing shingles and any debris. Then call TruRoof for a free storm damage inspection. We'll get on the roof, check for hidden damage, and give you a straight answer. If you need to file an insurance claim, we'll meet the adjuster and walk them through every detail. This week is critical. The next rain could make things worse.
You'll have a watertight roof again. No more worrying every time the wind blows. Your home in Lebanon will be protected, and you'll have the paperwork to show the insurance company. You can get back to enjoying the things that matter, like a meal at The Golden Lamb without checking the weather.
What people in Lebanon 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."
