Missing shingles after the wind storm?
What to do next, from a local storm and hail damage roof repair team in Villa Hills, KY.
You walked out after the storm, and shingles are scattered in the yard. Parts of your roof look bare. Water could be getting in right now. Homes here in Villa Hills, up on the ridges near I-275, catch the full force of windstorms that roll through Kenton County.
Strong wind gets under the edge of a shingle and tears it loose. Sometimes the seal strip fails first. You see bare spots where the black underlayment shows. That is your roof's last line against rainwater. A few missing shingles on one slope is a repair. But wind can crack or loosen shingles you cannot see from the ground. Hidden damage leads to leaks that rot the decking underneath.
Every job is different. A small patch with matching shingles might take a few hours and cost a few hundred dollars. If wind hit several slopes or the roof is older, the scope grows. Your insurance will often cover storm damage. The adjuster needs photos and a report from a contractor who documents what the wind did. That is when the cost shifts from you to your policy, minus your deductible.
Do not climb up there yourself. Wet or loose shingles are a fall risk. Take photos from the ground with your phone. Call TruRoof for a free storm damage inspection. We walk the roof safely, measure the damage, and hand you a report that speaks the adjuster's language. If you need a tarp same-day, we do that too. The goal is to stop water now and get you a fair answer on repair or replacement.
Once the roof is sealed back up, you stop worrying every time it rains. The shingles match. The attic stays dry. The bare spots are gone, and your home on the hill is tight against the next storm that blows through Northern Kentucky.
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."
