There are several signs your roof’s shingles may get blown off after a storm. If you notice missing or damaged shingles on your roof, it’s essential to call a professional. Excessive granules in gutters or on the ground can also suggest shingle wear and increased vulnerability to blow-offs. Additionally, leaks or water damage inside the home may indicate that shingles have blown off, allowing water to infiltrate the home.
Attempting DIY fixes for shingle blow-offs is not recommended due to safety concerns, the potential for causing further damage and the risk of voiding existing roof warranties.
