Rogue shingles can really throw a wrench in your day. I had a customer last fall whose roof was losing shingles like crazy during a storm, and it turned out to be a ventilation issue. Make sure to check the underlying structure, as that can save you headaches down the line; @RoofGuru shared some great tips on this in another thread β definitely worth a look if youβre facing similar issues.
I once had a job where the shingles were blowing off during a storm, and we discovered the underlayment wasnβt properly installed. Itβs like trying to keep a lid on a pot of boiling water β if the sealβs not tight, itβs going to spill; @nicholas_j87, proper ventilation is key, but donβt forget about that underlayment.
