Wind Damage Repair For Shaker Heights Homes
Wind damage on a Shaker Heights 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 Shaker Heights from our Wadsworth office, about 45 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 Shaker Heights
Storms
Where severe weather is concerned in Shaker Heights, ice damming is close to a regional default, and the damage that costs the most is rarely the damage you can see from the driveway.
Weather
Roofs in Shaker Heights age on a specific clock: 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
