Replace Missing Shingles

If you don’t, you could end up dealing with serious roof problems. Here are some of the most common issues that result from missing shingles:

1. Increased Risk of Leaks

Your shingles are what protect your home from the outside elements. They are in place to shed water off your home. When they are damaged or missing, water will start to seep into the roofing materials.

The synthetic underlayment or water-resistant membrane helps reduce the risk of water damage but it won’t stop it entirely. The more shingles that you have missing will increase the amount of leaks that will develop in the future.

2. Damaged Property Value

Your roof is one of the first thing people notice when driving your property. When it’s in good condition, it can boost your property value and increase curb appeal on its own. 

When buyers look at your property, they want your home in good condition. If they notice roof damage, like missing shingles, they’ll start to worry about leaks and hidden issues in your home and want to bargain for a lower asking price.

3. Structural Damage to the Rest of Your Home

A leaking roof doesn’t just cause problems to the roof and attic. It will start to do serious damage to the rest of your home if not taken care of. 

Water will start to spread throughout your house then soak into your sheetrock and threaten your electrical wiring.
