Strong gusts can lift shingle tabs, break their seal strips, crease them, or tear them off entirely. Once one shingle is gone, its neighbors are more exposed the next time the wind picks up.
Wind damage shingle repair replaces missing and creased shingles, reseals lifted tabs, and checks the ridge and edges where wind loads are strongest.
What wind damage looks like
- Shingles or pieces of shingle in the yard
- Exposed underlayment or bare wood on the roof
- Horizontal creases across shingle tabs
- Missing ridge cap pieces at the peak
- Shingles that flap or lift in the breeze
The process
How wind damage shingle repair works, step by step
- 1
Act promptly
Exposed underlayment is not meant to be the outer layer for long.
- 2
Assess the area
Damage often extends beyond the obvious gap.
- 3
Replace and reseal
New shingles are woven in and nearby tabs are sealed down.
- 4
Check the edges
Ridges and rakes deserve a careful look since wind favors them.
Creased shingles count too
A shingle that lifted and fell back into place may still be creased across the top. That crease is a weak line where it can break off later.
Recurring wind damage can point to aging seal strips or installation issues, which is worth asking about.
Common questions
Should I climb up and tarp the roof myself?
Climbing onto a roof, especially a wet or damaged one, is risky. Calling a roofer is the safer route.
Will new shingles match?
Exact matches are not always available on older roofs, so ask about the closest options before installation.
