FAQs
Why is it vital to replace missing shingles on my Friendsville home as soon as possible?
A missing shingle exposes the roof’s underlayment and decking to direct sunlight, rain, and wind. In Friendsville’s humid, rain-prone climate, this can lead to rapid wood rot, mold growth, interior ceiling leaks, and even structural damage. Prompt replacement keeps small issues from ballooning into costly repairs and helps maintain your manufacturer’s warranty and your home’s resale value.
How can I tell if my roof has missing shingles without climbing onto it?
Look for curled, torn, or bare spots on the roof from ground level, especially after a wind or hailstorm. Inside your attic, inspect plywood for dark stains or daylight penetration. You can also find granules in gutters or downspouts. If you are unsure, schedule a drone or ladder inspection—our Friendsville technicians provide them free of charge and can document every missing shingle with photos.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover the cost of replacing missing shingles?
Most Friendsville policies cover wind or storm damage, including lost shingles, as part of their dwelling protection. Coverage usually applies when you report the loss promptly and provide documentation such as photos and an inspection report. We work directly with insurers, supplying estimates, photos, and code-compliant repair plans to maximize your claim approval and minimize out-of-pocket costs.
Can I just replace the affected shingles or do I need a full re-roof?
If damage is confined to a small area, a spot repair with matching shingles is typically sufficient. However, widespread blow-offs, brittle shingles, or roofs older than 15–20 years may indicate systemic failure, making partial repair a temporary fix. During our no-obligation assessment we measure shingle loss, evaluate underlying felt and decking, and give you an honest recommendation—repair or replacement—based on safety, budget, and long-term value.
How long does a missing-shingle repair take and will it disrupt my daily routine?
A typical patch involving up to 20 shingles requires about 1–3 hours. Even larger repairs rarely exceed one day. We schedule work around your availability, secure the area with tarps, and clean up every nail and scrap before leaving. Most Friendsville homeowners can stay inside during the job; pets and children should simply avoid the drop zone until the crew is finished.
