Lift and crease

Wind gets under shingle edges and lifts them. Even if they settle back down, the seal may break and the shingle may crease, making it easier to blow off next time.

Where it starts

Edges, corners and ridges see the strongest uplift. That's where we look first after a windstorm.

Signs to look for

Missing shingles, shingles in the yard, horizontal crease lines, and exposed underlayment.
