Missing shingles after a wind storm?
Honest answers from TruRoof, storm and hail damage roof repair in Norwood, OH.
After a storm rolls through Norwood, you find shingles scattered across your yard. Your roof has bare patches and you're worried about the next rain. You don't know if water is already seeping in, and the thought of climbing up there makes you nervous.
Wind can lift shingles and break the adhesive seal that holds them down. Once a shingle is loose, the next gust can tear it off completely. That bare spot on your roof is now an open door for rain. Even a small missing patch can let water soak into the wood decking and cause a leak inside your walls or ceiling.
Repairing missing shingles is usually a same-day job. Cost depends on how many are gone and if the underlayment is damaged. A few missing shingles might run a few hundred dollars. But if the storm hit a large area or the roof is older, a full replacement could be needed. Insurance may cover it if the damage is from one storm event.
Do not climb on the roof. Take clear photos from the ground of the bare spots and any shingles in the yard. Then call a local roofing contractor who understands storm damage. TruRoof can inspect your roof, document the damage for your insurance, and tarp any openings to stop leaks. We'll help you deal with the adjuster so you get a fair settlement.
Once the repair is done, your roof is watertight again and your home is protected. The missing shingles are replaced, and the roof looks like it did before the storm. You won't have to worry every time it rains.
What people in Norwood 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."
