Expert Asphalt Shingle Repair for Your Home

Asphalt shingles are the most popular roofing material for Coastal Georgia homes—and for good reason. They're affordable, durable, and effective at protecting your home from the elements. But even the best asphalt shingle roofs need occasional repairs to maintain their protective performance.

Coastal Roofing of Georgia specializes in residential roof shingle repair throughout Richmond Hill, Savannah, Pooler, and surrounding areas. Whether you're dealing with storm damage, aging shingles, or mysterious leaks, our experienced team provides honest assessments and quality repairs that restore your roof's integrity without unnecessary replacement costs.

Common Causes of Asphalt Shingle Damage

Wind Damage

High winds lift shingle edges, break the seal strips, or completely tear off shingles—especially on older roofs or improperly installed systems. Coastal Georgia's storms can cause significant wind damage requiring prompt repair.

Hail & Storm Impact

Hail strikes create bruises, dents, or punctures that compromise shingle integrity. Debris impact during storms can damage or dislodge shingles, creating immediate leak risks.

UV & Heat Deterioration

Years of intense Georgia sun cause shingles to become brittle, crack, curl, or lose protective granules—reducing their waterproofing capability and lifespan.

Thermal Cycling

Temperature fluctuations cause expansion and contraction that stresses shingles, loosens nails, and breaks down the asphalt binder over time.

Age & Normal Wear

Even properly maintained shingles eventually reach the end of their lifespan, showing granule loss, brittleness, and reduced flexibility that makes them vulnerable to damage.

Poor Installation

Improper nailing, inadequate starter strips, or incorrect shingle placement creates premature failures that manifest as early damage requiring correction.

Debris & Tree Damage

Falling branches, accumulated leaves, or overhanging trees cause physical damage, trap moisture, and accelerate shingle deterioration.

Moss & Algae Growth

In Coastal Georgia's humid climate, organic growth can lift shingles, retain moisture, and accelerate material breakdown if left untreated.

Signs Your Shingles Need Repair

Missing Shingles

Visible gaps in your roof where shingles have blown off or been removed, exposing underlayment or decking.

Cracked or Broken

Visible cracks or splits in shingle surfaces that allow water penetration beneath the roofing material.

Curling or Cupping

Shingle edges lifting up or centers sinking down—signs of age, moisture damage, or ventilation issues.

Granule Loss

Excessive granules in gutters or bare spots on shingles indicating protective layer deterioration.

Interior Leaks

Water stains on ceilings or walls, attic moisture, or visible leaks during rain indicating roof penetration.

Shingles in Yard

Whole shingles or large pieces found on the ground after storms or high winds.

Repair vs. Replacement: Making the Right Decision

One of the most common questions homeowners ask is whether to repair damaged shingles or replace the entire roof. The answer depends on several factors including damage extent, roof age, and your long-term plans.

Repair Is the Right Choice

  • Localized Damage

    Damage limited to specific areas from storm impact or isolated failures

  • Newer Roof System

    Roof under 10-12 years old with otherwise good condition

  • Minor Storm Damage

    Isolated wind or hail damage affecting less than 25% of roof surface

  • Available Matching Shingles

    Same color and style shingles can be sourced for seamless repairs

  • Budget Considerations

    Repair extends roof life 5-10 years while planning for future replacement

Replacement Makes More Sense

  • Widespread Damage

    More than 30% of shingles showing damage, curl, or deterioration

  • Age Beyond 15-20 Years

    Roof approaching or past typical shingle lifespan with multiple issues

  • Multiple Leak Points

    Recurring leaks in different areas indicating systemic failure

  • Significant Granule Loss

    Widespread bare spots indicating protective layer has failed

  • Selling Your Home Soon

    New roof provides better ROI and marketability than patchwork repairs

Understanding Asphalt Shingle Lifespan

Expected Lifespan by Type

3-Tab Shingles

15-20 yrs

Basic single-layer shingles, most economical option with shorter lifespan

Architectural Shingles

25-30 yrs

Dimensional multi-layer shingles with enhanced durability and appearance

Premium/Designer

30-50 yrs

High-end impact-resistant or luxury shingles with extended warranties

Factors Affecting Lifespan

  • Climate Exposure

    Coastal Georgia's heat, humidity, and UV intensity accelerate wear

  • Ventilation Quality

    Proper attic ventilation prevents heat buildup that ages shingles faster

  • Installation Quality

    Proper installation techniques maximize shingle performance and lifespan

  • Maintenance

    Regular cleaning, debris removal, and prompt repairs extend roof life

  • Tree Coverage

    Shade reduces UV damage but increases moss/algae growth requiring attention

Architectural Shingles: Enhanced Performance

Most new homes and replacement projects in Coastal Georgia use architectural shingles (also called dimensional or laminate shingles) rather than basic 3-tab shingles. These multi-layer shingles offer superior wind resistance, longer lifespan, and enhanced curb appeal with varied textures and shadow lines.

Architectural shingles typically carry stronger warranties (25-30 years or lifetime) and better resist the wind, UV, and humidity challenges common in our coastal climate. While they cost more than 3-tab shingles, the extended performance and durability make them a better long-term investment for most homeowners.

Asphalt Shingle Repair Costs: What to Expect

Typical Repair Price Ranges

Minor Shingle Repair

$150-400

Replace 5-15 damaged shingles, small storm damage, isolated repairs

Moderate Repair

$400-1,200

Multiple damaged areas, one roof section, valley or ridge repairs

Extensive Repair

$1,200-3,000+

Large storm damage, multiple roof planes, underlayment repairs needed

Cost Factors to Consider

  • Number of Shingles

    More damaged shingles increase material and labor costs

  • Roof Pitch & Access

    Steep roofs or difficult access require safety equipment and extra time

  • Shingle Type & Matching

    Architectural shingles cost more than 3-tab; discontinued colors harder to match

  • Hidden Damage

    Underlayment, decking, or structural issues discovered during repair

  • Flashing Needs

    Chimney, valley, or wall flashing repairs add to overall cost

  • Emergency Service

    Urgent repairs or temporary tarping may carry premium pricing
