Missing shingles after a wind storm?
What to do next, from a local roof repair team in Oakley, OH.
After a wind storm hits Oakley, it’s common to find shingles scattered across the lawn. Bare patches on the roof leave you wondering if water is already getting in. You need to know if the roof is still safe.
Missing shingles happen when high winds lift the edges and tear them off. The black felt or bare wood you see underneath is the roof deck. It is not waterproof. Rain can soak in fast and cause a leak inside your home.
Fixing a few missing shingles is usually a same-day job. A small patch may cost a few hundred dollars. If the decking is wet or rotted, the price goes up. Your insurance may cover storm damage, so keep that in mind.
Stay off the roof. Take clear photos from the ground of the bare spots and any shingles in the yard. Then call TruRoof for a free inspection. A roofer will check for hidden damage and help you decide if a repair or replacement is right.
Once the shingles are replaced, your roof will be watertight again. You won’t have to worry about the next rainstorm. The yard will be cleaned up, and your home protected.
What people in Oakley 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."
Other things people in Oakley ask
water dripping from ceiling light fixture
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.

Small repairs like replacing a few shingles or sealing flashing can cost $300 to $800. Bigger repairs with decking replacement run higher. Ask for a repair quote before committing to anything larger.
