Missing or damaged shingles
Missing Shingles After Wind in Granbury
What you might be seeing
Wind-lifted shingles in Granbury are often visible from the ground — photograph them before anyone climbs.
Bare spots or tabs in the yard after wind
A gap in a shingle course from the street
Granules collecting in gutters
A neighbor lost shingles in the same storm
Common causes
Wind lift at eaves and ridges
North Texas gusts catch edges first, then peel a course.
Nail pattern or age
Older composition can tear instead of flexing in a Hood County storm.
Tree limbs rubbing
Lake-lot oaks can wear a field that then sheds tabs in wind.
Prior poor repair
A patch that was never sealed can lose shingles next storm.
Safe checks to try
Only try steps you are comfortable with — stop if anything feels unsafe.
Photograph missing tabs from the ground on all sides you can see safely.
Do not climb a wet or two-story roof to retrieve shingles.
Check the attic for daylight or wet spots under the same plane.
Save a blown-off tab for the contractor if it is on the lawn.
When to call a professional
- More than a few tabs are gone on one plane
- You see deck or felt through the gap
- A leak started after the same wind event
- Quotes disagree on repair vs replacement
What to ask if you hire
- 1.Can you match color and brand, or is this a full-plane repair?
- 2.How many layers are on the roof before you nail a patch?
- 3.Will a repair keep or void a manufacturer warranty?
- 4.What do you photograph for an insurance claim if I file?
What to look up next
- The shingle count or squares to replace is written down
- Wall flashing is in scope if the gap meets siding
- A second roofing bid uses the same patch-vs-tear-off call
