What missing shingles mean — and what your insurance probably owes you.
Don't ignore it
Even one missing shingle exposes the roof deck to water intrusion. After Alabama spring storms, missing shingles are extremely common.
It's likely a covered claim
Missing shingles after a windstorm typically qualify for an insurance claim under standard Alabama homeowners policies.
Look for hidden damage too
For every shingle that's gone, several more nearby may be wind-creased — meaning the seal strip is broken even though the shingle is still in place.
