Yes, it should be treated as urgent. Missing shingles create an immediate entry point for water, which can quickly lead to interior leaks, attic damage, and—most concerning for our area—unseen roof deck rot. We recommend a temporary tarp cover and contacting us promptly for a permanent repair to prevent costly secondary damage to your home's structure.

Common signs from the inside include dark stains or sagging on your ceiling, a musty smell in the attic, or visible daylight through the roof boards. From the outside, you might notice spongy areas when walking on the roof, curling shingles, or granules in your gutters. Given Ventnor's humidity, we advise a professional inspection if you suspect any moisture issues, as early detection is key.

Start with a professional inspection from a local contractor like us. We'll check for loose or damaged shingles, ensure flashings around chimneys and vents are secure, and verify your gutters are clear to prevent water backup. Proactively addressing these minor issues is the best defense against major wind damage. We can also discuss impact-resistant shingle options designed for our coastal climate.
