Strong winds are common throughout Chattanooga and Southeast Tennessee, and older roofing systems can be especially vulnerable. Wind can lift, crease, loosen, or completely remove shingles, exposing the roof system to additional damage. Older 3-tab shingles and improperly installed roofing materials may be particularly susceptible to wind-related failure.
Wind can lift and fold vulnerable shingles, particularly along roof edges and rake ends. Aging, brittle, or improperly installed shingles may be more susceptible to this type of damage.

Wind damage isn't always obvious from the ground. Lifted, creased, loosened, or missing shingles can indicate areas that should be evaluated by an experienced roofing professional.
Not every lifted, creased, or damaged shingle is caused by wind. Before assuming roof damage is storm-related, have the roof properly evaluated to determine the likely cause of damage. Learn more on our Vandalism & Mechanical Damage page.
