FAQs
What are the most common causes of missing or blown-off shingles in Elizabethton?
In Elizabethton, missing shingles are usually the result of high winds during thunderstorms, improper installation that prevents shingles from sealing correctly, and age-related wear that makes the adhesive strip brittle. Occasional hail, fallen branches, or animals walking on the roof can also loosen shingles and allow wind to lift them away.
How urgent is it to replace missing shingles on my roof?
It is very important to replace missing shingles as soon as possible. A single exposed patch can allow rainwater to penetrate the underlayment, saturate the roof deck, and eventually leak into ceilings or walls. Prompt repairs prevent wood rot, mold growth, insulation damage, and much higher repair costs down the road.
Can you match the new shingles to the color and style of my existing roof?
Yes. We carry the major shingle brands that are popular in Carter County and stock many of the region’s standard colors. When exact matches are discontinued, we source the closest possible blend and install replacement shingles in less visible areas to minimize color variation. If a perfect match isn’t feasible, we will discuss options such as a partial re-roof to keep the appearance consistent.
How much does it typically cost to repair missing shingles in the Elizabethton area?
Small repairs that involve replacing 3–10 shingles usually range from $225–$450, depending on roof pitch and accessibility. Larger blow-offs covering up to a square (100 sq ft) can run $650–$900. Costs include the shingles, new underlayment if needed, labor, and disposal of debris. We always provide a free on-site inspection and written estimate before work begins.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover the repair?
Most policies cover wind or storm damage, including missing shingles, as long as the loss is sudden and not due to neglect. After our inspection, we document the damage with photos and help you file the claim. You are responsible for your deductible, and the insurer pays the rest of the approved repair cost. If the loss is below your deductible, we will advise you so you can decide whether to file.
How soon can you complete the repair and what is the process?
For emergency blow-offs we can usually respond the same day in Elizabethton. A standard repair involves: 1) Free inspection, 2) Written estimate, 3) Scheduling (often within 24–48 hours), 4) Removing damaged shingles and inspecting the decking, 5) Replacing underlayment if necessary, 6) Installing manufacturer-matched shingles and sealing them, and 7) Cleaning all debris from gutters and your property. Most repairs take 1–3 hours once on site.
