Kokomo Roof Pros provides professional wind damage roofing in Kokomo, IN for residential and commercial properties across Howard County and north central Indiana. Kokomo loses far more shingles to an ordinary sixty-mile-an-hour gust than it ever lost to a tornado. The two tornado tracks were narrow: 300 yards at their widest in 2016. Straight-line wind takes the whole county at once, and it takes the roofs that were fastened badly.
That is the local fact worth understanding. Uplift resistance in an asphalt roof comes from the sealant strip and the nail line, not from the shingle's advertised rating. A shingle nailed an inch high misses the common bond and holds by the mat alone, and it will lift at half the wind speed the box promises. On a roof installed in a hurry after a storm, high nailing is the single most common defect we find.
So we check it before anything else. Two or three shingles are lifted on the windward slope and the nail heads are looked at directly. If they sit in the reinforced strip where they belong, the roof is doing what it was designed to. If they sit above it, the roof has a systemic problem that a repair to one slope will not solve, and you should know that before you spend money.
Creased shingles are the second thing. A shingle that flexed back and returned looks intact from the driveway and has a fracture line through the mat that will open in the next event. Creasing is a covered wind loss on most policies and it is routinely missed, because it is invisible unless somebody kneels down and runs a hand across the course.
Ridge and hip caps come off before field shingles do, every time, and they are frequently the only visible loss after a moderate event. Replacing caps alone is a legitimate repair and we will quote it as one rather than talking you into a roof you do not need yet. Caps are also the cheapest thing on the roof to put back correctly, so there is no excuse for leaving them.
When we replace, we fasten six per shingle rather than four across the whole roof, not just at the perimeter, and we run a full starter strip up both rakes as well as along the eaves. Rake starter is left off constantly in this market because nobody checks, and the rake is where a wind event in this county starts peeling a roof open.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — orphaned chimney stacks cut below the sheathing plane, B-vent collars pulled and the opening decked solid, powered attic fans deleted and their curbs framed over, annular-shank deck refastening on a twelve-inch schedule, one-piece lead pipe flashings instead of thermoplastic boots, penetration counts recorded per square at tear-off — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Kokomo and nearby communities including Greentown, Russiaville, Sharpsville, Windfall City.

Materials, equipment and how we do wind damage roofing
The difference between wind damage roofing that lasts and wind damage roofing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with orphaned chimney stacks cut below the sheathing plane, B-vent collars pulled and the opening decked solid, powered attic fans deleted and their curbs framed over, annular-shank deck refastening on a twelve-inch schedule, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Kokomo job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in Howard County and north central Indiana means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
