For Matt in Breckenridge, MN, the first sign of trouble was hard to ignore: pieces of shingles scattered across his yard. Finding shingle fragments on the ground is a classic warning sign of storm damage, and it was enough to send Matt searching for a trustworthy local roofing contractor he could count on. After researching several companies in the area, Matt decided to call Vita Roofing to schedule a free roof estimate and get an expert opinion on the best course of action for his home.
During the inspection, Austin walked the roof and identified four separate sections showing clear signs of damage, with storm-damaged shingles and missing asphalt standing out as the biggest concerns. This kind of granular, section-by-section assessment matters for more than just repair planning; it's also central to how insurance companies evaluate roof damage claims. As a general rule, if more than 25-30% of a roof's surface requires repair, insurance providers typically require a full roof replacement rather than a patchwork of repairs. Understanding this threshold helps homeowners like Matt make sense of their options and know what to expect from the insurance claims process.
With four damaged sections already identified and missing shingles putting the rest of the roof at risk, Vita Roofing gave Matt a clear, honest assessment of where his roof stood. It's this kind of thorough, no-obligation inspection that helps homeowners in Breckenridge, MN and throughout the Fargo-Moorhead area catch storm damage early, before a few missing shingles turn into costly water damage or interior leaks.
Missing Shingles
One of the pain points is the damage to this roof from years of wind & rain.
Shingles worn down
Discolored and weather-damaged, this section of roofing needs to be replaced.
Old repair that failed
Here is evidence of a previous repair attempt by a different roofing contractor. The seal has rotted out and is no longer protecting the underlayers of the roof.
Another shingle is lissing
Matt noticed pieces of shingles on the ground. Here is one large section of missing shingles. There is no doubt that moisture will find its way under the top layer and onto the decking.
More missing asphalt
This is a big area of concern. Several missing shingles.
