Lifted and Creased Shingle Repair in Fort George G Meade, MD

Lifted and Creased Shingle Repair in Fort George G Meade, MD

Shingles that flap in the wind leave a mark. Look along the roof from the street and you may see a faint horizontal line across a tab: that is a crease, and it means the shingle bent back far enough to break its fiberglass mat. A creased shingle will usually tear off in the next good storm.

Fort George G Meade, MD Shingle Roof Repair works with shingle roof repair crews in Fort George G Meade, MD who handle lifted and creased shingles before they turn into missing ones. The fix depends on what the roofer finds.

• Lifted but not creased: the tab is cleaned under the edge and resealed with dabs of asphalt roofing cement, then weighted until it bonds.
• Creased: the shingle is replaced. Gluing a creased tab down hides the break but does not close it, and water will wick through the crack.
• Lifting across a whole slope: this often points to a sealant strip that never activated, or nails driven too high. The crew will check nail placement on a few shingles to see which.

Asphalt shingle roofing depends on each course being sealed to the one below. Once that bond goes, wind gets leverage.

Call (844) 238-0976 and Fort George G Meade, MD Shingle Roof Repair will set you up with a crew in Fort George G Meade, MD to look at those lifted tabs.
