You go around your property to assess the status of your home after a recent storm passes through your neighborhood, and you notice that some of your roofing shingles have been blown off while inspecting your roof. Your roof is a crucial aspect of your home because it protects it from the elements, such as rain, snow, wind, and sunlight, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. What happened to your shingles when they were blown away? Do you repair or replace shingles that have been blown off? Roof replacement specialist Starr Roofing & Gutters is here to help!
Why Were They Blown Off?
Shingles for roofing are made to last and withstand a variety of weather conditions. These shingles have a wind rating of 110 to 130 miles per hour in most cases, which means they can be blown off during storms with high winds, which can damage or tear them off. This wind speed is in the Category 2 to 3 level, which is frequent during big hurricanes and other severe weather events, according to the National Hurricane Center. Even though the recent storm that hit your area was not as severe as a hurricane, your roofing shingles may still be damaged, and your roof’s structural integrity may be compromised.
Repairs
Because it just requires removing and fixing damaged sections and shingles, roof repair is often the cheapest choice for roof care. Unlike a full roof replacement project, which may cost a lot of money and take a long time to complete, it also has fewer concerns. Roofs made of asphalt shingles, for example, are faster to fix because the shingles are simple to install and get, as well as being very inexpensive. However, there are some disadvantages, such as uneven coloration that might impact the overall appearance of your roof, and the shingles that are left intact will eventually need to be replaced.
Replacement
The best long-term remedy to shingle blow-off is usually a complete replacement of your roofing shingles and the framework underlying them. It does not only tackle the challenges that arise when simply mending damaged parts, but it also allows for the replacement of damaged roofing components that are not visible from the surface after a thorough inspection. The most obvious disadvantage is the expense, as well as the time and work required to start and finish the procedure.
