Replacement of storm-damaged shingles

Read the official guidance →What should I check before roof repair in Taylor?
GAF's storm-damage guidance says shingles punctured to secure a tarp require replacement; caulking those holes is not its permanent repair method. Ask the contractor to identify temporary fastener locations alongside the original damage. The repair estimate should show how the temporary protection will be removed and which disturbed areas will receive permanent treatment.

Local review for Taylor
Start with the applicable property and roof conditions
Taylor directs uncertain permit questions to its permitting staff before work begins and uses MGO for applications and inspection requests. Describe the permanent repair scope when asking for that determination.
Questions to settle in the written scope
Use the inspection and project plans to make the proposed work specific.
Document the condition or design
Document the tarp boundary and condition around it. The visible storm defect may be smaller than the area disturbed during temporary protection, so a repair estimate should account for both.
Define the work and approval points
Have the permanent scope identify replacement covering, disturbed adjacent material and any affected roof accessories. Keep the emergency-service record separate so it is clear what remains to be completed.
Review the proposal on its merits
Ask Lapeyre Roofing to explain the recommendation for your property and identify any decision that still needs an inspection or design review.
A scope you can compare
Request named materials, included roof sections and clear exclusions before comparing the price.
Include the damage left by temporary protection
Temporary protection can do its job while creating a second set of repair details. A homeowner comparing estimates should ask whether each proposal includes removal and restoration of all temporary fastening points. If one quote covers only the original opening, it may not be pricing the same work as a quote that restores the entire disturbed area. Photograph the temporary setup before removal and retain the repair plan. This makes the final scope easier to review without assuming that any particular storm caused every visible roof defect.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is removing the tarp the end of the repair?
No. The underlying damage and any covering disturbed by temporary fastening still need assessment and permanent treatment.
Can nail holes through shingles simply be caulked?
GAF's guidance calls for replacement of shingles punctured by tarp fastening rather than treating caulk as a permanent repair.
Should emergency and permanent work have separate records?
Yes. It makes the completed work and remaining scope clear.
How should I check Taylor permitting?
Describe the permanent scope to the city before starting when applicability is uncertain; Taylor manages the process through MGO.
