I know nothing about roofing. We lost a total of 17 shingles during Irma. My house was built in 1999 and they used 3 tab shingles when they built it. I still have the original roof and the guy who repaired the shingles said the existing shingles probably have another 10 years of life on them if they don't get blown off with another storm, which is good. However, he said the reason we lost shingles with Irma was because they hadn't been nailed down at installation time ! He said the whole roof is like that, even in areas where repairs have been made previously. That, to me, is unbelievable and something I will be hiring a roof inspector to come look at when I return there. Do I have any recourse against the warranty department if this is the case? I have never heard of such a thing.
