Roofing Washington, One Home at a Time
Wind damage repair that reseals lifted shingles and reattaches components loosened by strong Puget Sound gusts.
The gap winds that funnel through Washington valleys can peel back shingle tabs and break the adhesive seal without tearing the material off entirely. Left alone, these lifted tabs let driving rain slip underneath and rot the deck from below during the wet months. We inspect the whole field for broken seals, re-secure or replace compromised shingles, and reinforce vulnerable edges and ridges. Special attention goes to exposed windward slopes that catch the brunt of gusts off the water.
Reseals wind-lifted shingles before rain intrudes; Reinforces edges and ridges against future gusts; Prevents deck rot caused by hidden water entry; Restores warranty-compliant shingle attachment; Improves resistance on exposed windward slopes
1) Inspect windward slopes and ridges for lifted tabs; 2) Test shingle seals and mark broken bonds; 3) Reseal, refasten, or replace affected shingles; 4) Reinforce edge metal and starter courses for durability
Number of lifted or broken shingles; Wind exposure of the affected slopes; Condition of the existing adhesive strips; Need for upgraded edge or ridge fastening; Roof pitch and working height
Wind events peak in fall and winter, so a post-gust inspection is wisest right after the first big blows of the season.
