About Debris Punctures

Wind turns branches, boards and yard items into projectiles. A puncture may be small, but it goes through the shingle, the underlayment and sometimes the decking, and water follows it in.

Repair means cutting out the damaged area, replacing the decking if needed and building the layers back the right way, not just smearing sealant over a hole.
