Missing shingles after a wind storm?
What to do next from a roof repair team in Villa Hills, KY.
You walk outside after a storm and see shingles in your yard. Your roof has bare spots, and you are not sure if water is getting in. This is a common problem for Villa Hills homes, especially after the strong winds that sweep up from the Ohio River.
Missing shingles leave the underlayment exposed. Wind gets under the edges and lifts them. Then rain can soak the wood decking underneath. Even a small bare spot can let water travel into your attic and walls. You might not see a leak inside right away. The damage often hides until it gets worse.
Fixing a few missing shingles is usually a small job. It can take a few hours. The cost depends on how many shingles are gone and if the decking is rotted. If the shingles are old or brittle, matching them can be tricky. Sometimes a larger section needs work. A good contractor will check the whole roof, not just the obvious spots.
Do not climb on the roof. Take photos from the ground. Call a roofer who knows storm damage. TruRoof can inspect your roof, find hidden damage, and help you decide if you need a repair or a full replacement. We also help with insurance claims if you need to file one.
Once the repair is done, your roof is sealed again. You can stop worrying about the next rain. The shingles will match and the roof will look like it should. Your home is safe and dry.
What people in Villa Hills 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."

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.
