Recent windstorm damage and question

Syed Shah
  • Northern Virginia
Posted

So due to this recent windstorm in our area, 2-3 shingles are missing from my roof.

Similarly, this corner board has come loose from the siding and needs to be screwed/nailed back and caulked.

Question is, we are expecting some rain later part of this week. Should I get it fixed before it or it can wait a few days and won’t cause any damage?

Thanks for any advice and help

The roof probably will not leak if a few shingles are missing for a short time. There should be waterproof roofing felt below the shingles, and the shingles protect the felt.
