Shingles Only Have to Lift Once
A shingle does not have to blow off of the roof entirely to stop working. Once wind breaks the seal strip and creases the tab, that shingle lies back down looking perfectly normal while water runs underneath it every time it rains. WellBuilt Roofing handles Wind Damage Roof Repair in Hummelstown & Hershey, PA, and surrounding areas.
Call (717) 708-0000 after a windstorm rolls through your neighborhood. We will check the seal strips and the creasing that most homeowners never think to look for.
We Check the Slopes Nobody Looks At
Wind hits a roof very unevenly. The damage concentrates along the ridge, the rakes, the edges, and whichever slope faced the gusts, and those are often the areas you cannot see from the yard. Our inspection covers every plane of the roof, lifts tabs by hand to test the seal, and documents any creasing with close-up photos. We look closely at the ridge caps and drip edge as well, since those tend to go first and rarely get mentioned by anyone.
What Wind Actually Does to a Roof
The visible damage is usually a small part of the real total, which is exactly why a quick look from the driveway misses so much of it.
- Broken seal strips leaving shingles free to flap
- Creased and cracked tabs that will fail within a season
- Missing shingles across ridges, rakes, and field areas
- Displaced or lifted ridge caps and hip shingles
- Loosened drip edge, flashing, and gutter attachments
- Debris impact damage from limbs and airborne objects
Repairs get made with matched materials and properly sealed courses, and when the damage covers enough of the roof to justify a claim, we document all of it thoroughly for your insurance carrier. You get the photos and the written scope either way, whether you end up filing or paying out of pocket.
Homeowners frequently need Storm Damage Roof Repair, Emergency Roof Repair, Roof Insurance Claims Help, or Roof Patches and Leak Repairs after high winds.
Get the Damage Found Before Winter
Call WellBuilt Roofing at (717) 708-0000 to schedule your wind damage inspection. Unsealed shingles get worse with every storm that follows, so catching them early keeps a small repair from becoming a full replacement.
