Lost a few shingles in the storm. Can I fix them myself?
Straight answers from a storm and hail damage roof repair team that works in Wyoming, OH.
You walked outside after that last windstorm in Wyoming and saw bare spots on your roof. Now you are looking up at missing shingles and thinking, I can handle this with a ladder and some nails. It seems like a small, simple fix.
A single loose shingle is one thing. But wind does not just rip shingles away. It breaks the glue seal on the ones around it. You can nail a new shingle down. If you crack the seal on the next row up, rain slides right under it. Now you have a hidden leak that rots the plywood for months before you see the water stain on the ceiling.
For one or two shingles, you need matching shingles, roofing nails, and a dab of roof sealant. You also need a safe way to work on a pitch. The real cost is not the materials. It is the risk. If you nail in the wrong spot, you create a leak path. A small diy fix can turn into a $500 sheathing repair if water gets in.
Start with a ground-level look. Check your gutters for granules. That grit is the top layer of your shingles washing away after hail. If you see bare spots or bruising, do not climb up. Call TruRoof for an inspection. We document storm damage for your insurance claim and fix it right so a few missing shingles do not become a whole ceiling replacement.
Once it is handled, you stop worrying every time it rains. Your roof sheds water like it should. And you have a report for your insurance company that proves the damage was from a storm, not wear and tear.
What people in Wyoming 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."
