If not taken care of by a professional roofing contractor, the damage to your roof will get worse in the near future.

Shingles are the outer layer of a roof structure, used as a cover for the underlay which stands as a barrier to water intrusion. If your roof has a missing shingle, simply taking a look at your roof will indicate it.

This is also the best tip for preventing further damage. A damaged or missing shingle exposes your roof to external elements. It also causes air to find its way into the ventilation part of your roof.

You might have noticed after a night of heavy storms a few shingles or their pieces scattered across your yard. Bad weather conditions, especially thunderstorms and hurricanes, can cause these materials to come loose and fall off your roof.
