Missing or Damaged Roof Shingles

Missing, lifted or damaged shingles can expose the layers below to weather. The scope may be localized, but the surrounding field and cause of the damage still matter.

What you can check safely

From the ground or inside the building, note when the problem started, whether it changes during rain or wind, and whether you can see missing material, staining or dampness. Avoid walking on a roof to investigate a problem.

What the symptom does — and does not — tell you

A symptom can narrow the conversation, but it does not prove the exact source or required scope. Roofing assemblies have overlapping materials and water can move before it becomes visible.
