Wind Damage Roofing in Chesterfield, Missouri
Straight-line winds work on edges and seams. Damage usually starts at ridges, rakes, eaves, and anywhere the shingle seal has already weakened with age.
Where wind damage tends to show up
- Shingles missing along the ridge line or gable edges
- Creased shingles that lifted and folded back down
- Broken seal strips, leaving shingles free to flap in the next storm
- Loose or detached ridge cap and hip shingles
- Displaced or torn flashing and drip edge
- Damage to fascia, soffit and gutters from debris
Creased shingles are real damage
A shingle that lifted and set back down can look fine while its seal is broken and its mat is creased. Those shingles are the ones most likely to leave in the next windy day, so they matter even when nothing is missing yet.
Temporary protection
If shingles are gone and rain is coming, ask whether the roofing professional can install a temporary cover until a permanent repair is scheduled. Do not attempt to tarp a roof yourself in wind.
