Wind Damage
Following a strong wind storm, it is critical for homeowners to inspect their roof for damage. I’ve included a link at the bottom of this article to quickly educate you on what to look for. Spotting even minor damage to shingles and other roof components can save major headaches for you down the road. Even minor failures in these roof components can leave your home unprotected from the elements, leading to costly repairs from water damage, mold and rot.
Even if you aren’t a home repair expert or have the physical ability to climb up on your roof, there are some obvious signs that your roof has sustained damaged that may be visible from the ground. As a homeowner, spotting these irregularities quickly and reporting them to your home repair service like ProMaster Home Repair & Handyman can often result in a simple repair. Or in cases where the weather event has significantly damaged the roof, can substantiate an insurance claim for a replacement roof.
Either way, take a peek at your roof today. Many areas of Cincinnati experienced winds in excess of 50 miles per hour in the last few days and it is possible that your roof has sustained some damage. Here is a great article from inspectapedia.com on how to spot wind damage to your roof.

Hey Don,
We should also remind homeowners that not all damage is visible from the ground. Many times the seal of the shingle is damaged, but you would never know unless you physically tried to lift the shingle tab. I hear a lot of homeowners say, “it sounds like birds taking off when the wind blows…” This is a classic example of broken seals on shingles.
