Wind Damage Repair For Lorain Homes
Wind damage on a Lorain roof usually starts with the seal. Each shingle is glued to the one below by a strip of asphalt. Strong gusts lift the tab, break that bond and crease the shingle, and the next storm finishes the job. A roof can look intact from the ground and still be badly damaged.
We cover Lorain from our Wadsworth office, about 50 min away. After a wind event we inspect for free and photograph every lifted, creased or missing shingle.
What We Look For After Wind
- Missing shingles and exposed nail lines
- Creased tabs where shingles folded back
- Broken seal strips along the windward slopes
- Ridge cap and hip damage
- Lifted flashing and damaged vents
- Siding, gutter and soffit damage
Local Factors In Lorain
Storms
The storm picture in Lorain: winter leaks here usually trace back to ice dams rather than storm damage, and neighbors getting work done is meaningful information about your own roof.
Weather
The weather pattern in Lorain matters: lake effect stretches winter well past what the rest of the state sees, which is why a shingle rated for thirty years rarely gets there in this county.
Signs Of Wind Damage
- Shingles or pieces of shingle in the yard
- Dark lines where the tabs have lifted
- Flapping or lifted shingle edges you can see from the ground
- New leaks after a windstorm
