Roofing Washington, One Home at a Time
Missing shingle replacement that fills bare spots left when tabs blow off in high winds.
Gusty Northwest fronts routinely rip individual shingles off, leaving the underlayment and nail heads exposed to weeks of rain. Those bare patches are among the fastest paths to a leak because nothing but thin felt or synthetic stands between the sky and your deck. We replace the missing tabs with color-matched shingles, hand-seal them for extra wind resistance, and check neighboring shingles for loosened bonds. Restoring full coverage quickly keeps water from tracking beneath the field.
Restores full weather coverage to bare spots; Color-matched replacements maintain curb appeal; Hand-sealing boosts resistance to future wind; Checks and reseals surrounding loosened shingles; Prevents rapid leaks through exposed underlayment
1) Locate every missing or displaced shingle; 2) Remove damaged fasteners and prep the deck; 3) Install color-matched shingles and hand-seal; 4) Inspect and reseal adjacent tabs for security

Missing shingles turn up most after fall and winter windstorms, so a prompt post-storm check is best.
