FAQs
What usually causes shingles to go missing, and why is it important to replace them quickly?
In Ocoee, the most common reasons for missing shingles are high winds during summer thunderstorms, hurricane-related gusts, and normal aging of the roof’s adhesive strip. When a shingle blows off, the waterproof barrier beneath it is exposed to UV rays and driving rain, allowing water to penetrate the plywood deck. Even a single missing shingle can lead to leaks, mold, and structural wood rot. Replacing the shingle promptly restores the roof’s water-shedding ability and prevents far more expensive interior repairs.
How can I tell if my Ocoee home has missing shingles or other roof damage?
Signs include visible bare patches on the roof, scattered shingles in the yard after a storm, dark or shiny felt paper showing through, granules accumulating in gutters, and new ceiling stains indoors. You can also look for uneven roof lines from the ground. Because climbing a roof is risky, we offer free, no-obligation inspections that include drone photography and a written condition report so you know exactly what needs attention.
What is the process for repairing missing shingles on my roof?
1) Inspection – We locate all missing or loose shingles and check the decking for moisture. 2) Matching materials – We source shingles that match your existing color and manufacturer when possible, or recommend an alternative if your shingle line has been discontinued. 3) Deck preparation – Any damaged underlayment or rotten decking is replaced. 4) Shingle installation – New shingles are properly nailed and sealed per Florida Building Code. 5) Cleanup & final check – We magnet-sweep for nails, remove debris, and review the repair with you. Most small repairs are finished the same day.
Are there specific shingle types that hold up better in Ocoee’s climate?
Yes. We recommend Class F or Class H wind-rated asphalt shingles, which are designed to withstand 110–150 mph gusts. Architectural (dimensional) shingles tend to seal more tightly and resist uplift better than 3-tab shingles. For extra durability, consider shingles with algae-resistant copper granules to prevent black streaks in Florida’s humid environment. We can show you samples and manufacturer warranties during your consultation.
How much does it cost to replace missing shingles in Ocoee, and will insurance cover it?
Spot repairs for a handful of shingles typically range from $250 to $750, depending on roof pitch, shingle availability, and whether deck repairs are needed. If the damage was caused by a recent named storm or wind event and exceeds your deductible, your homeowners insurance may cover the repair or even a full roof replacement if matching shingles are no longer manufactured. We document the damage, assist with claim filing, and meet with your adjuster to help you obtain fair coverage.
How quickly can your team complete a missing shingle repair, and what kind of warranty do you provide?
Because missing shingles leave your roof vulnerable, we prioritize these repairs and can usually schedule them within 24–48 hours. Emergency tarping is available the same day if rain is forecast. Most repairs take two to four hours on site. We back our workmanship with a 2-year labor warranty in addition to the manufacturer’s material warranty, giving you peace of mind that the repair is done right.
