What Forest Park Homeowners Need to Know About Roof Repair
Forest Park has some of the older housing stock in Clayton County, with a large share of homes built in the mid-1900s. That means most of the city’s roofs sit on classic ranch-style homes, and many have been through multiple roof layers and repairs over the decades. On older roofs like these, the most common problems we see are worn or cracked flashing (the metal sealing around chimneys, vents, and valleys), brittle and curling shingles that have aged past their prime, and leaks that trace back to decking or underlayment issues (the wood and protective layers beneath your shingles) rather than the shingles alone. Wondering how much time your roof has left? Learn how long a roof lasts.
ProShield handles all of it, from a single leak over a back bedroom to a full storm-damage claim. Our crews are GAF Master Elite certified, we document everything for insurance, and we give Forest Park homeowners a straight answer on what actually needs fixing. If something looks off, start with these key signs your roof needs repair.

Questions Homeowners Ask
This is usually caused by strong wind gusts blowing at high velocity that lift your home’s roof shingles, rip them away, and leave your residence vulnerable to water damage from roof leaks and more wind lift.
Our contractors will work to replace or repair any broken shingles, patch up the torn membrane, and do a full or partial replacement if needed.
While rain alone seldom causes damage to your roof, water may go through pre-existing weak spots, such as cracked shingles and missing tiles, into your roof structure and house.
Water damage requires immediate attention. Our storm damage experts will start by determining the extent of the water damage. They will then conduct emergency repairs to prevent further damage by sealing leaks and repairing the flashing, roof membrane, and gutters.
Impact damage to your home occurs when high winds cause trees, equipment, or other heavy debris to fall on a roof and destroy the shingles, tiles, and roofing frame. This puts your house at the most risk of severe roof and structural damage.
For severe impact damage, we often need to replace the entire roof. However, if only one roof plane is damaged, we can also do a partial roof replacement or repair the roof if the type of damage is minor enough.
Hail damage is one of the most difficult to identify on roofs and can go unnoticed for a while. It often manifests as bent pipes, damaged vents, and missing shingles.
Our roof contractors will conduct a thorough inspection to uncover the extent of the damage and repair it.

Contact your insurance company as soon as possible to report storm-related damages and file a claim. Ensure that you have comprehensive images of every area the storm has affected, whether a structural component, a decorative element, or a piece of furniture. ProShield will provide you with a full photo report of your roof.
Be accurate and honest when filing a claim with your provider. If an insurance agent learns upon investigation that the information you provided is inaccurate, they may deny all or a part of your claim.
When submitting your claim, do not limit it to storm-related damages; add the expense of your interim living arrangements. Keep the receipt and present it to your insurer if you paid for any home repairs.
