Wind Damage Repair For Westlake Homes
Wind damage on a Westlake 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 Westlake 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 Westlake
Storms
As for storm damage around Westlake, heavy snow load and ice weight cause more damage here than wind does, and the claim window usually closes before the symptom shows up.
Weather
Roof life in Westlake is shaped by one thing more than any other: the melt-refreeze cycle keeps working long after the storms stop, so roofs here reach the end of their service life earlier than rated.
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
