Repair or replace?
A handful of missing shingles on an otherwise sound roof is a repair. If the shingles are curling and brittle everywhere, bare of granules, or damage is spread across every slope after a storm, spot repairs keep coming back and a replacement may cost less over time. After a big storm, insurance may cover a full replacement if damage is widespread. See wind-lifted shingles: repair or replace and repair or replace a leaking roof.
Will new shingles match?
We match color and style as closely as possible. New shingles usually look a little different at first and blend in as they weather. If your shingle was discontinued, we show you the closest options before starting. Learn more on shingle repair.
How much does it cost to replace one shingle?
A single shingle is cheap as material, but most of the cost is the trip and setup. That is why a small job with one or a few shingles usually falls in the $150 to $450 range. Fixing several spots in one visit gets more value from that trip.
How much does shingle roof repair cost per square foot?
Small shingle repairs are usually priced per job, not per square foot. Larger areas and full replacements are priced by roofing square (100 square feet), with basic asphalt shingle replacements nationally around $3.50 to $5 per square foot.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace a shingle roof?
Repair is cheaper when damage is limited to a few areas and the roof has years left. Replacement becomes the better buy when the roof is near 20 to 25 years old or damage is on every slope. See how long roofs last in Arkansas.
Can I just replace the shingles on one side of the roof?
If damage is limited to one slope and the rest of the roof is sound, replacing one slope can make sense. Matching is the main concern, since new shingles look different until they weather. Insurers sometimes pay for one slope after storm damage.
How do I know if shingles need replacing?
Missing, cracked, curled or creased shingles, bald spots with no granules, and granules collecting in the gutters are the signs to watch.
Can I replace one shingle myself?
It can be done, but lifting the shingles above without cracking them takes practice, and working on a roof is risky. Most people hire it out.
Does insurance cover missing shingles?
If wind or hail removed them, often yes, minus your deductible. Age and wear are not covered.
How long does a shingle repair take?
A few shingles usually take under an hour or two once we are on the roof.
Why are my shingles falling off?
Usually wind breaking old seals, nails placed too high, or shingles at the end of their life.
