Our local Buena Park team is trained and certified to restore wind damage. Powerful winds can damage an asphalt roof, causing issues that compromise its integrity. Recognizing these signs early can help prevent further deterioration.

Missing Shingles: High winds can lift and rip off asphalt shingles, leaving exposed patches on the roof. This reduces the roof's protective barrier and makes it more susceptible to water infiltration and subsequent damage.

Curling and Lifting Shingles: Wind gusts can cause shingles to curl at the edges or lift entirely. Curling occurs when the adhesive bond between shingles weakens while lifting indicates a more severe disruption. Both issues can lead to leaks and reduced roof efficiency.

Granule Loss: Asphalt shingles are coated with granules that protect against UV rays and physical damage. Wind can strip these granules away, leaving the shingles vulnerable to sunlight and wear. Accumulated granules in gutters and downspouts are a telltale sign of this damage.

Torn or Cracked Shingles: Wind can create stress points that result in tears or cracks in the shingles. These fractures can grow over time, allowing water to penetrate the roof's underlying layers and cause significant damage.

Damaged Flashing: Strong winds can loosen or bend the metal flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights. Compromised flashing leads to gaps and openings where water can enter, leading to leaks and interior damage.
