Missing shingles after the wind storm?
Fast, local roof repair in Ludlow, KY. TruRoof is here to help.
After the wind storm last night, you found shingles scattered across your yard in Ludlow. Parts of your roof are bare, and you're worried about water getting in. You need to know if it's serious and what to do next.
Wind storms can lift and tear shingles off your roof, leaving bare spots. This is common in Ludlow, where strong gusts come off the Ohio River. Missing shingles expose the underlayment, which is not waterproof on its own. Rain can seep in fast and cause leaks inside your home.
Repairing missing shingles on a small section often takes a few hours. The cost depends on how many shingles are gone and if the decking underneath is damaged. For a few missing shingles, you might pay a few hundred dollars. If the roof is old or the damage is widespread, you may need more work. We can give you a clear estimate after an inspection.
Do not climb on the roof. It is dangerous and can make the damage worse. Take photos from the ground. Call TruRoof for a free inspection. We will check the whole roof for hidden damage, like lifted shingles or cracked flashing, and help you decide if a repair is enough.
Once the shingles are replaced, your roof will be sealed tight again. You can stop worrying about leaks every time it rains. With the damage fixed, your home is protected and you can get back to normal.
What people in Ludlow 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.
