Shingle blow-offs, while not as common as other roofing problems, are something that you as a homeowner would never want to face. You see, shingles have a nailing strip where your roofing company is supposed to nail them. If the nails aren’t positioned correctly, they cannot hold the shingle well enough causing them to get blown off when the wind blows. Here are three reasons why this problem should never be ignored.
This is the most obvious reason why you should replace blown-off shingles immediately after you notice them. Missing shingles create seams on your roof where water can find its way in, damaging the components below and eventually making it into the interior of your home.
Your roof plays a huge role in your home’s overall energy efficiency so any type of roofing problem can have profound effects on your electricity bill. You may think that missing a few shingles is a minor issue that can be put off or delayed but, in reality, you may be losing money if you don’t have it fixed immediately.
A roof missing a few shingles will definitely make your house look drab and worn down. This problem can definitely take away from your property’s value as it decreases your home’s curb appeal. Luckily, this issue is easily fixed. Even if you aren’t looking to sell your home any time in the near future and do not really worry about your home’s market value, you are still strongly advised to address the issue right away.
