Missing shingles after a wind storm?
What to do next and when to call for roof repair in Union, KY.
You step outside after a Boone County storm and see shingles in the yard. Your roof has bare spots near the ridge. You are not sure if water is getting in. This is common in Union, where winds rip through off I-71 and hit homes hard.
Missing shingles after a wind storm happen when gusts lift the sealed edges. Once one shingle peels back, wind can tear it off and loosen the ones next to it. You might see bare felt paper or plywood decking exposed. Even a small bare patch lets rain drip through the nail holes into your attic. The damage is not always obvious from the ground.
A repair for a few missing shingles on a typical Union home often takes two to four hours. The cost depends on how many shingles are gone and if the decking underneath is rotted. A simple patch with matching shingles can be a few hundred dollars. If water has already damaged the decking, the job gets bigger and the price goes up. An inspection tells you the real scope.
Do not climb on the roof. Take photos from your yard and from upstairs windows if you can see the spots. Then call a roofing contractor who works with storm damage in Boone County. TruRoof comes out the same day to check for hidden damage and tarp the area if needed. We also help you decide if you need a repair or a full replacement based on the age of your roof.
Once the repair is done, your roof is sealed again. The bare spots are gone. No more guessing about leaks when it rains. Your home goes back to normal, with a watertight roof over a dry attic. The shingles in the yard are just a memory.
What people in Union 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."

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.
