About our Shingle Roof Repair services

Since you’ve discovered this page, you might be wondering if your shingle roof is repairable, or you're looking for someone to repair it. Or maybe you are considering doing the work yourself.

What Are The Main Reasons a Shingle Roof Leaks?

Roof repairs for leaks are the biggest reason people in Afton, IA call us. Sometimes it's just the flashing or some ridge cap that's come loose, and some caulking or a few shingles will set everything right. Sometimes there's missing shingle tabs that have torn off from the wind, which can expose nails or open a crack which leads to a leaky roof. Hail is also a common cause of leaky roofs in Iowa. A leak that has been there for a while may have caused further hidden damage, which you will need to take into consideration as well. The longer you wait, the more likely it will become that this one little leak will spread and destroy your home, quite literally.

Is it Possible To Repair Your Own Shingle Roof?

Missing Flashing

If it's something simple, like a missing piece of flashing, or a new crack that only needs a little caulking to set it right, then maybe. Are you confident that you can tell if the crack has been there for a short time, or if it's been there long enough to saturate the insulation, the decking, the rafters, and down into the walls underneath? if not, then you could just be putting your home at risk for the aforementioned damage to your home. This could cost a small fortune to repair when it's all said and done. It's better to be safe than sorry, call Cook Roofing Company to come out and take a look at your roof, so we can help you clarify what your roof needs, and even assist you in your insurance claim.

Wind Damage and Missing Shingles

If you have a few shingles missing, it's a more complicated repair. If your roof is newer (ten years or so), it may still be possible to lift the shingles above the damaged ones, remove those, replace them, and seal things back up. It's also possible to damage the 6-9 other shingles you'll have to disrupt for each damaged shingle. Shingle tabs get torn by wind, which more often than not insurance will cover. Sometimes shingles are simply frail and damaged from wear and tear. The safest course of action is just to have us come out and inspect your roof, afterwards we'll tell you if there's more extensive damage, and whether the roof is repairable. We'll evaluate your roof and give you a free estimate, which you can give to your insurance company if needed. If you give us a call at 515-305-3253, we can give you our expert advice.

Shingle Roof Repair Examples

Here are some examples of things that look like a simple repair, but aren't.

Afton Hail Storm Damage

If you have hail damage, especially if it's bad enough to cause leaks, nine times out of ten you will need a new roof. Some hail damage is obvious, and others are a challenge to see even with years of experience. We are trained to spot hail damage, we can give you a storm report for your address to back up your claim, and an estimate to send to your insurance carrier. Afton, IA, 50830 has been hit by hail numerous times in the past few years, so call Cook Roofing Company for a roof evaluation and estimate, on us. If it's an insurance claim, you'll only be out your deductible, and we can finance that.

How Much Does a New Roof Cost?

As the case is when shopping for any product, it depends on your needs. If the elements caused the leak, (providing your insurance covers storm damage) more than likely all you'll be responsible for is a deductible. We do offer financing (even though we'd love to waive your deductible, that would be illegal. Beware of any roofing company who offers this, because it's insurance fraud). A free roof inspection is the first step, and there's no obligation. Minor repairs may be even less than your deductible and there'd be no need to file a claim. If you leave a leak neglected however, you can wind up with extensive hidden damage that isn't covered by insurance because you waited too long. It's better to find out the extent of the damage so we can stop it, and see if insurance will cover it, than just procrastinating. Please give us a call or contact us by email.

How Many Roof Repair Estimates Should You Get?

Well, ask yourself why you need to get more than one estimate. Cook Roofing Company will provide you with a thorough estimate and back our work with a Lifetime Workmanship Warranty - something rarely given by roofing contractors in Afton. We match a competitor's estimate, providing it includes everything that needs to be done to guarantee the work. Be warned, though, that other roofers often cut corners and may tell you things like new flashing or drip edge aren't necessary. If the work is an insurance job, we usually do the work for what the insurance covers, plus the deductible, which we can finance. The exceptions to this would be for upgrades you want (such as premium shingles, metal roof, high end craftsman windows, etc), or for things that aren't covered by your insurance (for example a shed roof that wasn't included on your policy). So if all those things are equal, it comes down to who you trust to do the job, who will be around if there are issues, and who backs their work with a warranty. If your goal is get the cheapest roof job you can find, we're the wrong company. But if you want a roof that raises your curb appeal (which adds to the value of your home!), is installed right, will last, and is backed by the industry's best warranty, our number is 515-305-3253.

FAQ

Can a shingle roof be repaired?
If the damage is minimal, then yes, a shingle roof can be repaired without too much trouble. A properly installed asphalt shingle roof will require very little maintenance. Asphalt shingles can be easy to remove and replace. Because of their low price, and low maintenance, asphalt shingle roofs are the most common type of roof in the US.
What should I do if a few shingles blew off of my roof?
If you see that your roof is missing a few shingles (possibly to a severe storm or simple high winds), you don't have to worry too much; you can just replace the shingles that are missing or a series of shingles. The small downside of this is that the new shingle will stand out compared to the other, probably worn-out, shingles on your roof.
Can a shingle roof be patched?
Patching can work out when there isn't that much damage to your shingle roof. However, patchwork won't always solve your problem; a roof is a complicated system designed to protect your home from the elements, and there might be more damage under the shingles that you may not notice on your own. So, call a professional roofing service to, at the very least, evaluate the damage to your roof and recommend whether to use simple patchwork to fix the problem.
