One of the common roofing problems that we encounter is a residential roofing repair more specifically a ridge shingle blowing off during storms. In this blog, we will discuss the importance of ridge shingles and the steps we took during this roof repair.
Ridge shingles are the highest shingles on a roof and run along the peak of the roof. Their primary purpose is to protect the roof from water infiltration, which is crucial in preventing roof leaks. Ridge shingles also add an aesthetic appeal to the roof and protect the roof from high winds.
When ridge shingles blow off during a storm, it exposes the roof to potential water damage. It is essential to repair the ridge shingles as soon as possible to avoid costly repairs. At Rhino Roofing LLC, we follow these steps to repair the ridge shingles:
Inspect the Roof
Our first step is to inspect the roof to determine the extent of the damage. We inspect the roof for other damages, such as missing or damaged shingles. We also check the roof's flashing and vent boots for damages or wear and tear.
Remove the Damaged Ridge Shingles
After inspecting the roof, we remove the damaged ridge shingles. We do this carefully to avoid damaging other parts of the roof. We also check for any signs of water damage on the roof deck and replace any damaged boards.
Install New Ridge Shingles
Once we remove the damaged ridge shingles, we install new ones. We use high-quality ridge shingles that match the existing shingles on the roof. We also ensure that we nail the new shingles correctly to prevent them from blowing off during future storms.
Seal the Shingles
After installing the new ridge shingles, we seal them to prevent water from seeping in. We use a high-quality sealant that adheres to the shingles and roof deck and provides a watertight seal.
In conclusion, ridge shingles play a crucial role in protecting the roof from water damage. If you notice any missing or damaged ridge shingles, it is essential to have them repaired as soon as possible.
