About Missing Shingles

When shingles blow away, the underlayment is all that stands between the rain and the roof deck. It is not made to be exposed, and it wears out fast in sun and wind.

We replace the missing shingles, inspect the underlayment and decking and match the new shingles as closely as possible to the rest of the roof.
