Roofing Washington, One Home at a Time
Lifted shingle repair that reseats and rebonds tabs that wind has pried loose from the roof.
A lifted shingle still sits in place but has lost its adhesive seal, creating a hidden flap that rain and wind exploit relentlessly here. During our long wet spells, water wicks under these loose tabs and quietly soaks the underlayment and deck. Our crews reactivate or replace the sealant strip, refasten the tab, and confirm a solid bond across the surrounding area. Catching lifted shingles early is one of the cheapest ways to avoid a much larger repair.
Rebonds tabs before water intrudes beneath; Inexpensive way to prevent larger damage; Restores wind resistance across the slope; Protects underlayment from hidden wicking; Extends the life of the existing roof
1) Survey slopes for tabs with broken seals; 2) Clean and prep the bonding surfaces; 3) Apply new adhesive and refasten each tab; 4) Verify the bond and check neighboring shingles
Number of lifted tabs found; Wind exposure of the affected slopes; Condition of the original sealant strips; Roof pitch and safe access; Whether nearby shingles also need attention
Lifted tabs are best addressed in warm, dry weather when adhesive strips reactivate and cure most reliably.
