Why Does Wind Cause Roof Damage in Lehi?
Shingle damage can begin when pressure builds beneath a loose edge and pulls the shingle upward.
Repeated lifting can damage the adhesive bond, fold the shingle, or stress the material around its fasteners.

When Should You Check for Wind Damage in Lehi?
A roof inspection makes sense when a windstorm was strong enough to move outdoor materials, damage trees, or strip roofing nearby.
Shingles with broken adhesive seals can remain in position even though the material has been creased.
What Counts as Wind Damage on a Roof in Lehi?
During a wind inspection, we can find loose or missing shingles, failed seal strips, disturbed ridge caps, shifted flashing, and problems along exposed edges.
A shingle that settles back down can remain in position while carrying a wind-related crease or broken seal.
- Missing and displaced shingles: Strong gusts can remove shingles, which can leave the under-shingle layer and neighboring rows less protected.
- Lifted and creased shingles: Wind can bend a shingle without removing it, while the bend can weaken the material or break its seal.
- Failed adhesive seal strips: The seal strip helps one shingle hold to the row below, so a failed seal can matter even when the shingle remains attached.
- Damaged ridge caps: The roofing along ridges and hips is highly exposed to wind, which can loosen or remove pieces even when the main roof slope stays intact.
- Torn or displaced flashing: Strong gusts can shift flashing at roof transitions, and the resulting gap can leak even if nearby shingles remain in place.
- Roof-edge damage: Roof edges can receive strong uplift during a windstorm, so we look for movement in the roofing, edge metal, and fasteners around the perimeter.
We are looking for the shingles that lifted and settled back down, because those are the ones that leak in two years. They are also the ones nobody can see from the ground.

How Do Lehi Roof and Exposure Conditions Affect Wind Damage?
Cold-weather wind in Lehi can stress roofing differently from a warm-season storm, so the repair decision considers both the wind event and the condition of the cold roofing.
Strong wind in Lehi can damage roofing directly and also send limbs or debris onto the roof, so we check the roof surface for both uplift and concentrated damage.
Nearby roofs in Lehi can respond differently to the same wind event because local shelter and the condition of the roofing can change how uplift develops.
How Do You Repair Wind Damage in Lehi?
A durable wind repair begins with the whole damaged area so a missing shingle does not hide broader seal or crease damage.
- Inspect safely and assess the affected slopeWe begin by checking safe access and the entire damaged slope so the damage check is not rushed or limited by unsafe conditions.
- Identify both missing and still-attached damage: We separate missing shingles from attached shingles that were damaged by lifting before replacement begins.
- Replace damaged shinglesWe install replacement shingles using the closest material match available, and we confirm the repaired section works with the shingles around it.
- Repair surrounding roof details and restore required sealing: Ridge, flashing, and roof-edge damage is repaired along with the shingles, and we hand-seal replacement shingles only in locations where the system calls for it.
- Review and document the finished repairWe inspect the completed roofing work and document the finished area so the final condition is clear after the work is complete.

Coury @Courtland Roofing was so helpful in facilitating the replacement of my roof. He advocated on my behalf with the insurance adjuster when they were trying to deny my claim. He was sincere and kind to work with and genuinely tried to give me the best deal he could….it sounds corny, but it felt like I was working with an old friend throughout the process. The end result turned out great and I would definitely call Coury if I were replacing another roof in the future.

Can a few missing shingles be repaired?
Yes, limited wind damage can often be repaired if the nearby shingles still provide a reliable base for the repair.
