Wind Damage Repair For Stow Homes
Wind damage on a Stow 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 Stow from our Wadsworth office, about 35 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 Stow
Storms
As for storm damage around Stow, 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
Roof life in Stow is shaped by one thing more than any other: the lake adds snow load and drags the freeze-thaw season out, 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
