After a massive storm, you may notice your roof looks different. You may also see entire shingles in your yard. Wind, hail, and even heavy rain can blow the roof's shingles, exposing the underlayment and possibly even the wood beneath it. When this happens, it is essential to act right away.

Why Do You Have Missing Shingles In Joliet?

The most common causes of missing shingles in Joliet include:
  • Strong Winds
Shingles are meant to stay on your roof during average wind speeds. But in extreme winds, sometimes even the best, high-quality shingles can be damaged or torn off. If these shingles are on your roof's ridge, they're even more vulnerable to wind getting under them and pulling them away.
  • Hail Damage
Hail does not knock shingles off directly. Instead, a severe hail storm can leave indents and cracks in shingles. These weak spots can weaken shingles until they become ineffective at protecting you from future storms.
  • Old or Aging Shingles
How long has it been since your shingles were replaced? Your asphalt shingles can last about 20 years, but eventually, the asphalt begins to cracks, the surface granules fall off, and shingles start to curl up.

What Can I Do About Missing Shingles?

The city of Joliet has an Ordinance in place, stating that repairs of any existing roofs must comply with the town's Building Code. As part of Joliet's Roof Repair Policy, "patching roofs is not covered as it is not permitted." Fortunately, our team at TTLC Inc has dealt with these types of obstacles. Replacing your roof with new shingles will be the best method for fixing your damaged roof.
