Top Reason Why Shingles Blow Off?
- One of the top reasons why asphalt shingles get blown off is due to improper installation… improper nail pattern.
All shingle manufactures have a standard guideline on where to nail. See image below, all 3 tab shingles require a minimum of 4 nails, should be installed below the asphalt line and above the keyhole.
If shingles are not installed properly, everytime the wind blows, you can bet you’ll need to make a shingle roof repair.

- Another reason why roof shingles blow off is due to not having a quality starter strip installed at the perimeter.
A roofing starter strip should have an asphalt bead to adhere the primary field shingle. The starter strip helps prevents wind from getting under the shingles and blowing it off. Equally important to a starter strip is the installation, the nail pattern.
A starter strips almost hold no purpose if it’s not installed and nailed properly. All components of the roof should be nailed property and to specification. Not installing correctly will result in seeing roof repairs in the near future.
If your experiencing shingles being blow off everytime the wind blows, you might want to consider replacing the entire roof with a quality shingle and quality roof installation.
