Shingle Repair in Fairview
A lifted shingle tab lets wind get under the course above it, and that’s how one loose shingle becomes a bare patch of underlayment by spring. Shingle repair is cheap exactly once, early, before the wind multiplies the job.
Around town the pattern sorts by street. The three-tab roofs on the mid-century homes near the school have gone brittle, so tabs crack at the fold and slide out of the field. The farmhouse roofs shed shingles at ridges and rake edges, where wind pressure concentrates hardest. And under the big shade trees on the older blocks, we replace a steady diet of shingles punched by dropped limbs.
Repairs You Can’t Spot From the Street
Good shingle work disappears. We slip new shingles under the surrounding courses, nail to pattern, and hand-seal the tabs above so the patch sheds water like the original roof. Color matters as much as technique: a twelve-year-old roof has weathered, so we match the roof, not the catalog. If you kept a bundle of spares from the last roof job, tell us, that helps.
One missing tab is normal wear. A roof-wide scatter of creased shingles after a windstorm is different; that’s storm damage repair. A stain indoors means water already found the gap, so start at roof leak repair. More on our shingle repair page, and everything else at Fairview.
