Missing shingles after that wind storm?
Here's what to do next from a local roof repair team in Sharonville, OH.
You walked outside after the storm and saw shingle pieces in your yard. Parts of your roof look bare and exposed. That wind ripped right through Sharonville, off I-75, and your home took a hit. You need to know if water is getting in right now.
Those bare spots on your roof mean the waterproof layer is gone. Wind gets under the edge of a shingle and peels it back. Sometimes the seal strip breaks. Other times the nail pulled out. When shingles go missing near Sharon Woods Park or older homes off US Route 42, the felt paper underneath gets beat up by sun and rain fast. A small bare patch can let water sneak into your attic the same night.
Fixing missing shingles is usually a same-day job if the decking underneath is dry and solid. Most repairs run from a few hundred dollars for a small patch to more if the ridge cap blew off too. If the roof is older, say 15 plus years, matching the shingle color can be tricky. The real cost driver is hidden water damage. A soft deck board or wet insulation in the attic pushes the job from a quick repair into a partial replacement.
Do not climb a ladder. A wet or windy roof is dangerous. Grab your phone. Take clear photos from the ground showing the bare spots and any shingles in the grass. Look inside your top floor ceilings for damp spots or new water stains, especially near ceiling light fixtures. Then call a roofer who knows Sharonville storm patterns. TruRoof can get a crew to you fast, inspect everything at no charge, and walk you through what your insurance might cover.
After the repair, those bare spots are sealed tight again. The shingles match as close as possible. You stop worrying every time rain hits the Tri-County area. Your roof keeps doing its job and you move on from the storm mess.
What people in Sharonville 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 Sharonville 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.
how much does roof repair cost
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.
