FAQs
What should I do if I notice missing shingles on my Shelbyville home?
Schedule an inspection as soon as possible. Missing shingles expose the roof deck to rain, wind, and UV rays, which can quickly lead to leaks and wood rot. Our Shelbyville roofing team can perform a same-day assessment, secure temporary protection if needed, and provide a written repair estimate.
How quickly can you replace missing shingles after I call?
For most homes in Shelbyville, we can dispatch a technician within 24 hours. If severe weather is expected, we offer emergency tarping to prevent water intrusion until repairs are completed, usually within 1–3 business days depending on shingle availability and roof height.
Will the new shingles match my existing roof?
We stock many of the popular colors and profiles used in Shelbyville subdivisions, and we work with leading manufacturers to source exact matches when possible. If your shingle line has been discontinued, we’ll find the closest color blend, install repairs in less-visible areas when feasible, and discuss full-roof replacement options if matching is critical for appearance.
Can a few missing shingles really cause a major leak?
Yes. Even a single missing shingle can allow driven rain to reach the underlayment and decking. Over time, water can seep into attic insulation, stain ceilings, and compromise structural framing. Acting quickly keeps repair costs low and protects the interior of your home.
Does my homeowners insurance cover shingle replacement?
Policies vary, but most cover sudden wind or storm damage. We document the damage with photos, provide a detailed report, and can meet with your adjuster. You’re only responsible for your deductible in covered claims. Wear-and-tear or lack of maintenance, however, is usually excluded.
How can I prevent shingles from blowing off in the future?
Choose a reputable installer, use high-quality, properly nailed shingles rated for our region’s wind speeds, and schedule an annual roof inspection. We also recommend trimming overhanging branches and cleaning gutters so water drains correctly, preventing uplift and premature shingle failure.
