Why Are Shingles Coming Off My Roof?

Shingles loosen or disappear because of wind, age, installation problems, or deterioration. One missing shingle doesn't tell you the condition of the whole roof.

Did it happen after a storm?

Strong wind can lift or remove roofing materials. Inspect the property from the ground after severe weather.

Are shingles appearing in the yard?

Save a sample if practical. It can help identify the roofing material.

Look for a pattern

One damaged area is different from widespread missing shingles, curling, cracking, or deterioration.

Don't climb up to replace one

Roof work combines height, fall risk, and potentially damaged surfaces. A small-looking repair isn't worth an unsafe climb.

Does missing roofing mean the house is leaking?

Not necessarily, but missing or damaged roofing reduces the roof's protection and should be addressed. Find Local Roofing Help
