Should You Worry About Missing Shingles?

Katelyn Lewis • Oct 17, 2022

You noticed a couple loose, out-of-place, or missing shingles when you glanced up at your roof while walking your dog the other day. But should you be worried about missing shingles?

If your roof is up to code, then there’s at least a layer of underlayment underneath your shingles to act as an extra layer of moisture protection for your roof and home. But missing shingles on your roof is like a knight going into battle with a few holes in his suit of armor. Sure, his chainmail may provide some help, but it’s not as protective as a full suit would be.


Leaks related to missing shingles may develop slowly or present in spots not directly underneath the damaged roof location, so if you notice any shingles out of place, it’s wise to get your roof checked out before it develops into a bigger – and more expensive – problem.


At Retex, we offer complimentary estimates for roof repairs and replacements in which we get on your roof and assess the trouble spots and its overall condition. We then advise you on what your roof needs to protect your home properly. And if the damage is storm-related, we can walk you through the insurance process and provide photos to add to your claim.


Give us a call at 804-258-6300 to schedule your complimentary roof assessment today.
