Wind Damage Repair For Youngstown Homes
Wind damage on a Youngstown 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 Youngstown from our Wadsworth office, about 1h 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
