Wind Damage to Shingles Repaired on Your Queens Home
Wind damage to shingles is what Flat Roofers NY repairs after storms roll through Queens. We inspect the roof, reseal lifted shingles and swap creased or missing ones for matching shingles. Deck showing? We tarp it the same day.
Open deck or leaking now
Roof open or leaking? Same-day tarp
Bare plywood, torn underlayment or water coming in after wind-driven rain all get a same-day visit. We photograph the open area first. Then it gets tarped tight, and the permanent repair follows.
Storm left too much to patch? We also handle a roof that has to be replaced fast.
Is water coming through right now? Call (917) 473-9811.
Signs you can check without a ladder
All five show from the ground or from inside. No climbing needed. We find this damage on detached and semi-attached houses, attached rowhouses, two-family houses and small multi-family buildings with a pitched roof.
Stains on the ceiling mean tracking down where the water really gets in. That spot is often feet away from the stain.
- Shingles in the yard or stuck in the gutter
- Edges that flap when the wind picks up
- Dark patches where granules or whole shingles are gone
- New ceiling stains after the storm
- Leaks that show up only with wind-driven rain
Five kinds of wind damage, lightest first
Wind uplift starts at the seal strip and works down to the deck. Find your row.
| What the wind did | What we do | When it gets done |
|---|---|---|
| Lifted shingles, broken seal strip Usual after a nor'easter |
Reseal and hand-seal each one with roofing cement | Same visit |
| Creased shingles or torn tabs | Replace with a matching asphalt shingle, same brand and color where it's still made | Within days |
| Missing shingles, exposed nail heads | New shingles, torn underlayment patched | Within days |
| Torn ridge cap, drip edge or flashing | Ridge cap or flashing repair | Within days |
| Wide areas gone or deck exposed | Emergency tarp, then a partial reroof or a new asphalt shingle roof in wind-rated shingles like GAF Timberline HDZ, under a manufacturer wind warranty | Planned job |
Your claim starts with our photos
We photograph wind damage to shingles before any repair begins. Every lifted, creased and missing shingle gets a shot, plus the ridge cap and the flashing.
You get the full set for your storm damage claim. Adjusters need the roof as the wind left it. Photos taken after cleanup or tarping can't show that, so ours always come first.
Get the wind damage priced at no cost
The estimate costs nothing. Open roofs get a same-day visit. And your repair matches the shingles already up there. When can we come take a look?
