Every damage type has a different cause and a different repair approach. Find your situation below — then book a free inspection for a written estimate.
Any missing shingle leaves underlayment exposed to rain, UV, and wind. Water will enter at the next rain event. The longer the delay, the greater the risk of felt failure and deck damage underneath.
Cause: high winds, inadequate sealing, improper nailing pattern, or age.
Hail bruises shingles at impact points, stripping granules and exposing the asphalt mat beneath. Often invisible from the ground. Over 90% of legitimate hail claims go undiscovered without a professional inspection.
Cause: hailstones 3/4“ or larger. Impact damage accelerates UV degradation by 3–5×.
Curling (edges turn up) and cupping (centre dips down) indicate aged, dry shingles losing flexibility. Curled edges catch wind and lift easily. Cupped shingles collect water at the centre rather than shedding it.
Cause: age, moisture imbalance, poor attic ventilation, or inadequate nailing.
Granules protect the asphalt mat from UV exposure. Rapid granule loss appears as dark bare patches on shingles and accumulation of sandy granules in gutters. Accelerates deterioration significantly once exposed.
Cause: hail impact, age, foot traffic, or manufacturing defect on newer roofs.
Wind lifts shingles along the exposed edges and corners, breaking the seal strip and sometimes cracking the shingle body. Lifted shingles allow water infiltration and are vulnerable to being completely removed in the next wind event.
Cause: sustained winds 50+ mph, aged seal strip, inadequate fastening.
Cracks and splits expose the underlying felt and deck to moisture. A single crack is a direct water entry path during rain. Common on aging shingles that have lost flexibility, and on shingles subjected to heavy impact.
Cause: thermal stress, impact damage, age-related brittleness, foot traffic.
The repair approach, material sourcing, and cost differ between shingle types. Here’s what distinguishes them and how we repair each.
Three-tab shingles are a single flat layer with cutouts (tabs) that create a uniform, regular look. Thinner and lighter than architectural shingles. Very common on homes built before 2000. Increasingly replaced with architectural shingles at replacement time.
Architectural (dimensional) shingles are thicker, heavier, and layered to create a textured, three-dimensional appearance. The standard for all new construction today. Better wind resistance, longer warranty, and more visual impact. Available in Class 4 impact-resistant versions in hail markets.
Most shingle failures are caused by shortcuts in the original installation or repair — wrong nail placement, wrong nail count, skipping the seal-down step. Here’s how we do it correctly every time.
Inspect the full damage zone — not just the visible issue
We inspect the damaged shingles and the surrounding 10–15 shingles in every direction. Hidden cracking, lifted edges, and nail pops in adjacent shingles are identified before work begins.
Prevents repeat callbacksLift surrounding courses to access fasteners
Shingles are overlapping systems — you cannot simply remove and replace one without lifting the course above it. We carefully lift surrounding shingles without cracking them.
Inspect and repair felt underlayment if damaged
Visible damage to the felt paper beneath removed shingles is repaired with appropriate underlayment before new shingles go down. We never shingle over damaged felt.
Included on every repairInstall new shingles with correct nail pattern
4 nails minimum per shingle (6 in high-wind zones), placed in the nailing zone, not through the adhesive strip. Nails driven flush — not over-driven (which cracks) or under-driven (which lifts).
Hand-seal all repaired shingles
Seal strips on new shingles activate in warm weather, but repairs are sealed by hand with roofing adhesive immediately — so the seal is immediate regardless of temperature.
Standard on every repairMaterial Matching
A repair that looks like a repair undermines the whole point. We stock materials from all major manufacturers and match profile, weight, and colour before scheduling the repair visit.

Most shingle repairs are far less expensive than homeowners expect — especially when caught early before underlying felt or deck damage compounds the scope. All jobs start with a free written estimate.
| Repair Scope | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| 1–5 shingles (minor repair) | $150 – $450 |
| 6–20 shingles (moderate repair) | $400 – $900 |
| Ridge / hip cap repair or replacement | $300 – $900 |
| Section repair (1 slope, partial) | $800 – $2,500 |
| Full slope replacement | $1,500 – $4,500 |
| Underlayment repair (per section) | $300 – $1,000 |
| Storm insurance repair (varies by claim) | Deductible only |
Why the repair method matters
Over-driven nails crack shingles. Under-driven nails lift and catch wind. Nails placed in the wrong zone puncture the adhesive strip. All three failures are invisible until the shingle blows off — often 6–18 months later.
Factory seal strips on shingles need 50°F+ temperatures for weeks to activate. Repairs done in winter or fall need hand-sealing with roofing adhesive immediately. Skipping this step means a week of wind can lift the new shingles.
The shingles that blew off are obvious. The ones that are cracked, under-nailed, or have failed seal strips two courses away are not. A proper repair includes a zone inspection — otherwise the same problem returns on adjacent shingles within months.
Different manufacturers’ shingles have slightly different tab sizes, thicknesses, and shadow patterns. Installing a “similar enough” shingle creates steps in the coursing that catch water. We match by manufacturer and product line, not just by shade.
"Storm blew off 12 shingles on my back slope. Previous contractor came, nailed new shingles on top without lifting the courses, and was gone in 40 minutes. Two months later I had a leak. RoofRepair.co redid the whole section properly — lifted the courses, replaced the underlayment underneath, hand-sealed everything. Two years and zero issues."
"Had no idea I had hail damage until my neighbor mentioned their adjuster found it. RoofRepair.co came out, found 47 impact points across two slopes, documented everything for my insurance. State Farm approved the full claim. New Class 4 architectural shingles installed — my insurance premium went down $240 per year."
"My 18-year-old architectural shingles were curling badly on the north slope. I was dreading a full roof replacement quote. RoofRepair.co was honest — the south and west slopes were still good for 5–7 years. They replaced just the north slope with matching Timberline HDZ and it’s perfect. Saved me $9,000 compared to quotes for a full replacement."
