Shingle roof repair — fix the damage, keep the roof.
Asphalt shingles cover most Palm Beach County homes — and Florida punishes them with 150 mph design winds, relentless UV, and algae. Since 1974, Mike McGilvary Roofing has repaired shingle roofs across the county: re-securing lifted shingles, replacing storm and granule-loss damage, and matching discontinued colors — without selling you a full replacement you don't need.

A few lifted shingles is a repair — not a re-roof.
Florida wind lifts and dislodges shingles even when the roof looks intact from the ground — breaking the sealant bond and opening the door to water. Caught early, it's a targeted repair. The trap is letting a roofing salesman turn a $600 fix into a five-figure replacement.
We repair when the damage is under roughly 30% of the roof and 5+ years of life remain — re-securing tabs, replacing blown-off sections, and matching the shingle. When the roof has truly reached the end of its life, we say so plainly. Either way, the work is backed by a 2-year workmanship warranty.
One storm's damage becomes the next storm's disaster.
Shingle damage compounds — and Florida's insurance market punishes deferred maintenance. Here's the honest picture.
$600 today, $3,500 after the next storm
A few lifted shingles from a summer storm seem minor — until the next tropical system tears off whole sections and water reaches the decking and ceilings. A small wind repair runs $400–$1,200; the emergency replacement that follows neglect runs many times that.
Deferred maintenance gets you non-renewed
Florida carriers now scrutinize roof condition hard, and properties with visible deferred maintenance face non-renewal — forcing a replacement to keep coverage. A documented repair, and an optional 5-Year Certification, is often what keeps a sound roof insured.

Six failure points we repair every week.
Florida's wind, sun, and humidity attack shingles in predictable ways — we fix the cause, not just the symptom.
Wind & lifted shingles
Hurricane and tropical-storm winds break the sealant bond and lift shingle edges — often invisible from the ground. We re-secure lifted tabs and replace blown-off sections before water gets under them.
Granule loss & UV
Florida's intense UV strips the protective granules that shield the asphalt mat. Localized granule loss is repairable by replacing affected sections — not always a full re-roof.
Algae staining
Dark streaks on north-facing slopes are algae feeding on the limestone in shingles. Professional soft-washing removes it safely — pressure washing strips granules and voids warranties.
Sealant & tab failure
Roof-surface temperatures of 160–180°F prematurely age the sealant strips that bond tabs into a wind-resistant surface. Lifted tabs can often be re-secured rather than replaced.
Valley & flashing leaks
Valleys and the flashing at walls, chimneys, and vents concentrate water and fail first. We repair the metal and the surrounding shingles to stop the leak at its source.
Impact & missing shingles
Hail and debris crack shingles; a single missing shingle exposes the underlayment to direct water. We replace the damaged field — and can upgrade to Class 4 impact-resistant shingles where it makes sense.
The crew that shows up — since 1974.
Half a century of Palm Beach County roofs, repaired by a family-owned crew that answers its own phone — documented, code-compliant, and done right the first time, whatever the roof.
Matched, code-compliant, warranty-safe.
Full roof inspection
A free inspection walks the entire roof — documenting wind damage, lifted tabs, missing shingles, and every penetration — with attic thermal imaging to find moisture you can't see from the surface.
Shingle matching & sourcing
We identify the manufacturer, product line, and color — often a challenge on 10+ year-old roofs — and source matching or compatible shingles through our distributor network so repairs blend in.
Detailed proposal
A written estimate separating materials and labor, meeting Florida Building Code fastening requirements, and preserving your manufacturer warranty — with an honest repair-vs-replace recommendation.
Repair & documentation
Clean shingle removal that protects the surrounding field, replaced underlayment where needed, correct fastening and exposure — with full photo documentation and a 2-year workmanship warranty.
What shingle repair actually costs in Palm Beach County.
Real ranges — targeted repair, not a roof you don't need.
$400 – $1,200
Re-securing 10–30 lifted shingles or replacing 5–15 missing ones — the common storm repair that prevents the next, much larger one.
$2,500 – $9,000
A section replacement, valley re-metal, or multi-point flashing repair with matched shingles — still a fraction of a $15,000–$40,000 replacement.
Hurricane and windstorm shingle damage is typically insurable, and Class 4 impact-resistant shingles can earn a Florida premium discount. With carriers weighing roof age and condition at renewal, a documented repair and an optional 5-Year Roof Certification is often what keeps coverage in force under Florida's Roof Age Law (§627.7011).
Real homes. Real documentation.
Short walkthroughs from real Palm Beach County projects — what Mike found, what he documented, and the work that followed. Outcomes vary by roof; nothing here is a guarantee of any insurance result.
WatchThe Drummond Roof
An insurance review prompted a closer look. Documentation of the tile system's actual condition may help the homeowner make an informed decision — repair, rebuild, or replacement.
WatchThe Amber Roof
Full condition documentation of an older tile roof. Thorough records of repairability and remaining useful life may be useful for insurance and future planning.
WatchThe Wellington Rebuild
A section rebuild that preserved most of the existing roof — replacing the failed underlayment, valley metal, and damaged tile instead of a full tear-off.
Shingle specialists since 1974 — not a tear-off sales team.
Shingle roofs since 1974
Thousands of shingle roofs repaired across Palm Beach County over 50+ years — 3-tab, architectural, designer, and impact-resistant. We know Florida wind code and how these roofs actually fail here.
Honest repair-vs-replace
Many companies push full replacement because it's more profitable. We repair when the roof has life left — and tell you plainly when it doesn't.
Real shingle-matching network
Manufacturers discontinue product lines every 5–10 years. Our distributor relationships let us match colors and profiles other contractors call impossible.
