Shingle Repair in Maplewood
Finding a shingle tab in the yard after a windy night is how most of these calls start. One missing shingle looks minor from the driveway, but the gap exposes the nail heads of the course below and gives the wind a grip on everything nearby. A lifted tab lets gusts get under the course above it, so one loose shingle quietly recruits its neighbors.
In Maplewood’s newer sections the pattern usually traces back to installation speed. Shingles nailed above the manufacturer’s nail line hold with half their rated strength, and seal strips that never bonded on a cold-weather install let tabs flap from day one. Creased shingles are the sneaky ones: they lie back down and look fine from the ground, but the crack at the fold opens every time the wind picks up.
Repairs That Match
Most roofs in town wear architectural lines still in production, so our repairs blend in instead of checkerboarding. We replace the damaged shingles, hand-seal the surrounding tabs, and scan the rest of the slope while we’re up there. If we’re finding trouble on three different slopes, we’ll say so plainly.
