Signs of Wind Damage on an Asphalt Shingle Roof
Wind damage shows up as missing shingles, lifted tabs, broken seal strips, exposed nails, and damaged ridge cap. Some wind damage is only visible on the roof itself.
Visible from the ground
Missing shingles, exposed underlayment, shingle pieces in the yard, and damaged ridge cap are all visible signs.
Visible only on the roof
Broken seal strips, creased shingles, and lifted nails often require a roof walk to find.
