Missing shingles after a wind storm?
Storm and hail damage roof repair for Ludlow, KY homes, minutes from the Ohio River.
You walked outside after the storm and found shingles in the yard. Your roof has bare spots now. It rained hard last night and you are not sure if water is leaking in. Ludlow homes, especially older ones near the historic downtown, can hide damage that gets worse fast.
Missing shingles mean the wind lifted and tore them off. Even one gap lets water hit the underlayment. In Ludlow, storms off the Ohio River valley hit roofs hard from I-71 all the way to Mt Echo Park. Damage often goes deeper than what you see from the ground. The adhesive seal that keeps shingles down can break across the whole roof face. That hidden damage leads to more shingles blowing off in the next storm.
A small missing shingle repair might take a few hours. If wind tore off shingles in large patches, or hail bruised them, the work scope grows. Most storm repairs in Kenton County range from a simple patch to a full roof replacement. Cost depends on how many shingles are gone, how steep your roof is, and whether the decking underneath got wet. Insurance often covers storm damage, so you may only pay your deductible.
Do not climb on the roof. Take clear photos from the ground with your phone. Check for shingle pieces in the gutters and downspouts. Then call TruRoof. We inspect Ludlow roofs the same day the storm hits. Our team documents every missing shingle, tests for hail bruising, and tarp torn areas fast so rain does not wreck ceilings and walls. We also meet your insurance adjuster on site and walk them through every detail.
After the repair, your roof sheds water the way it should. No more wet spots on the ceiling. No shingles in the yard. Your home is tight against the next Ludlow storm. You know the damage was fixed right because someone looked at every layer, not just the missing pieces.
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."
