How Smithville homes are built up top

Smithville has grown around the lake, and lakefront and near-lake property dominates the character. Larger newer homes on open lots near the water, older modest housing in town. The open water and open ground mean these houses see wind with nothing in front of them.

Problems we find in Smithville

Wind exposure on open lake lots shows up at the edges first. Rake edges, eaves and ridge caps take the lifting force, and once a shingle's sealant strip has been broken by wind it will not reseal properly. That shingle is compromised even though it is still lying flat. Documented wind damage of that kind is legitimate and claimable, and it is invisible from the ground.

Insurance claims in Smithville

Northern Clay County catches storms with a clear approach, and the open water adds to the wind fetch. Between that and the amount of newer, larger, steeper roofing around the lake, the inspections here tend to focus on edge condition and ridge integrity more than field bruising.

Roof FAQ for Smithville

Do lakefront homes need different roofing?

Not different materials necessarily, but wind rating matters more. On an exposed lot it is worth specifying a shingle with a higher wind rating and making sure the installation follows the high-wind nailing pattern, which uses more fasteners per shingle.

Is a shingle that is still lying flat still damaged?

It can be. The sealant strip is what holds a shingle down in wind, and once broken it does not re-adhere reliably. That is why wind damage is assessed by testing the seal, not just by counting missing shingles.

How do I know if wind broke the sealant on my shingles?

You generally cannot from the ground. Someone has to get on the roof and check whether shingles lift freely along the courses. A shingle that lifts with no resistance has lost its seal, and it will blow off in the next real wind.
