It pays to keep tabs on your roofing system’s condition, but you’ll need to be especially wary when it has suffered wind damage. That’s because it can fast-track roof deterioration, allowing for a shortened lifespan that will soon have you planning a premature roof installation. In order to deal with wind roof damage properly, you’ll need to separate the facts from the myths. The premier asphalt shingles and metal roofing company, Redemption Roofing, debunks some of the common misconceptions about wind damage to shingle roofing.
-
“Wind damage can only occur during a storm.” Your roof has a higher likelihood of sustaining wind damage when there’s a storm, sure, but it can still happen on a clear day. That’s because most roofing problems, including ones caused by wind damage, are not instantly obvious. They start out slow and small. Give it enough time and you’ll be dealing with loose, missing, or torn shingles before you know it.
This is where professional roofing inspections come in. Make sure to schedule them with a reliable roofing company like Redemption Roofing. With regular roof checkups, especially following a major weather event, we’ll be able to detect wind roof damage early and perform the necessary and effective solution.

“Wind damage can be overlooked, no problem.” Absolutely not. Wind damage can loosen, or even blow off asphalt shingles altogether. Like hail damage, it can also wear down the material, causing excess shingle granule loss. Leaving it unchecked is generally a bad idea because it leaves your roof–and home–more vulnerable to water infiltration, which in turn, leads to major issues.
-
“Wind damage on asphalt shingle roofing always ends up in a replacement.” Not exactly true–wind damage can be easily mitigated, especially when it is identified early. All it takes to keep your asphalt shingle roof in good condition is quality repair, along with regular, professional inspections. On the other hand, this myth CAN become true if you put off repair work when your system is so obviously wind-damaged.
