Why Are My Shingles Buckling? Chicago Roof Repair Experts Explain

Buckling shingles can be a sign of deeper issues with your roof, often caused by plywood seams that weren't fastened correctly during installation. Over time, changes in temperature and humidity can cause the plywood to shift or expand, which results in an uneven surface under your shingles. This leads to the shingles lifting, curling, or buckling, not only affecting the appearance of your roof but also leaving it vulnerable to leaks and water damage. Buckling shingles can reduce the overall lifespan of your roof and should be addressed promptly to prevent further complications.

At Anchor Point Roofing, we specialize in identifying and repairing these underlying issues. Our repair process begins by carefully removing the affected shingles and inspecting the area for any problems with the plywood or decking. We remove the synthetic felt underlayment, re-secure any loose plywood seams, and, if necessary, install new plywood to provide a sturdy base. Once the plywood is properly fastened, we apply fresh felt and install new shingles that match the existing roof as closely as possible. This ensures not only a cohesive look but also long-lasting protection for your home.
