Can I replace a few shingles myself after a storm?
Straight answers for White Oak, OH homeowners from TruRoof, your local storm and hail damage roof repair team.
You lost a few shingles in the last storm that blew through White Oak. You are handy and think you can just nail new ones on. You want to save money and avoid a service call for something small.
Missing shingles let water sneak under the ones next to them. High winds from storms off I-74 can lift edges and break the seal. Once that seal is gone, rain follows the nail holes and soaks into the wood deck underneath. You might not see the leak until the ceiling stains show up.
Replacing one or two shingles costs about $20 to $50 in materials if you already own the tools. But you need matching shingles, roofing nails, and sealant. If you break the seal on nearby shingles or nail in the wrong spot, you create a bigger leak. A repair that should take an hour can turn into a full section replacement.
For one or two shingles, you can try it yourself if you have ladder safety gear and know how to work on a steep roof. For anything more, call TruRoof at 513-XXX-XXXX. We inspect the whole roof, spot hidden damage, and help with your insurance claim. A free inspection costs nothing and stops a small problem from rotting your roof deck.
Once the repair is done, your roof is sealed tight again. No more water sneaking in. No more worrying every time it rains. You can go back to normal life in White Oak, knowing your home is protected.
What people in White Oak 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."
