Can I replace a few shingles myself?
Honest answers from TruRoof, storm and hail damage roof repair in Springdale, OH.
You're in Springdale. After that last storm blew through, you saw a few shingles in the yard. You're handy. You think, 'I can just nail new ones on and save the service call.'
A few missing shingles after a storm is common in Springdale. Wind gusts off I-275 and I-75 can tear shingles at the nail line. Even one missing shingle leaves the underlayment exposed. Rain gets in fast.
Replacing one or two shingles seems simple. You need matching shingles, roofing nails, and sealant. But if you nail in the wrong spot or break the seal on the shingles around them, you create a bigger leak. A proper repair also checks the flashing and makes sure tabs lie flat. For more than a couple of shingles, the job gets bigger. You might need an insurance claim.
If you have the right nails, sealant, and ladder safety gear, you can replace a single shingle yourself. But if you see any damage beyond a few shingles, call TruRoof. We inspect the whole roof, document storm damage, and help with your insurance adjuster. One wrong nail can cost you a lot later.
Once it's fixed right, your roof holds up to the next Springdale storm. No water spots on the ceiling. No more worrying every time it rains. You can get back to your weekend.
What people in Springdale 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."
