Shingle Repairs and Installations

Quick Service for Missing and Damaged Shingles

Without regular maintenance, there is no way of knowing if the shingles on your roof are in need of repair or replacement. Damage to the ceilings, walls, and floors of your home can occur without proper shingle maintenance.

Rather than taking on the difficult job of repairing shingles as a DIY task, call the professionals at Hometown Roofing of Texas, Inc. It's a dangerous job for anyone other than a qualified professional. Repairing or replacing missing shingles needs to occur as soon as possible, as the next storm or heavy rain has the potential of causing further damage, such as water-logged ceilings and walls.

We're an authorized installer for GAF, Malarkey, and Gerard roofing products. We respond quickly to your call and offer 24/7 emergency roofing repairs.

What Causes Roofing Shingles to Disappear?

There are several factors that can lead to shingles breaking or disappearing from your home's roof.

• Harsh wind — With enough force, strong gusts of wind can pull shingles off of your roof.
• Trauma from inclement weather conditions — Hail, rainstorms, and other extreme weather conditions can weaken or break your roof’s shingles.
• The dry Dallas air — Roofs need some extent of moisture to stay safe and weatherproof, but the arid conditions in the Dallas-Fort Worth area can dry out your shingles.
• Deterioration and weakening over time — Outside conditions and time will affect the integrity of your roof, including the materials underneath the shingles. When the materials under your shingles give out, your shingles are more prone to slipping and other damage.

What Problems Arise From Missing Shingles?

Shingles in disrepair compromise the insulation index of your home, particularly during the summer or winter months. Think of your roof as a lid for your home — a roof, lacking integrity, can allow hot air inside your home in the summer and cold air in during the winter. When your shingles break or go missing, those areas of your roof lack protection.

Here are some common problems that will arise when you have missing or broken shingles on your roof:

• Leaks — The area with the missing shingle(s) is more susceptible to leaking inside of your home.
• Structural damage — Water tends to negatively affect the foundation or structural beams of your home.
• Interior damage — When water gets into your home because it lacks protection from your roof, you might have minor or significant interior damage as an effect.
• Dry rotting — The unprotected parts of your roof with missing shingles are more inclined to get dried out.

Deciding to Repair or Replace a Damaged Roof

As soon as you notice an issue with your roof, we advise you to take immediate action. If you procrastinate or wait too long to address the issue at hand, you might be signing up for more costly emergency repairs in your future. If you’re not sure if you should patch up the missing shingle or completely replace your roof, here are a few things you should keep in mind.

Missing shingles often mean your roof is probably pretty old, so it might be time for a full replacement. When you have entirely new shingles, you’ll save a ton on your energy bills, and your home will look like brand new again.

If you’re still unsure whether your roof requires a simple shingle repair or an entire replacement, just ask one of our experienced roofers for a free roof inspection! We’ll be more than happy to come up with a solution for you. Call Hometown Roofing of Texas today!
