The cost to fix missing shingles on a roof varies widely based on the extent of damage, roof pitch, accessibility, and shingle type. For a very small repair of 1 to 5 shingles on an easily accessible single-story roof, many roofing companies have a minimum service charge of 150 to 400 dollars, which covers labor, trip charge, and materials. This typically includes matching shingles if available and roofing cement. For a moderate repair involving 10 to 30 shingles, perhaps after wind damage, the cost usually ranges from 400 to 800 dollars. If the repair requires work in a difficult area such as a valley, around a chimney, or on a steep second-story roof, costs increase to 600 to 1,200 dollars due to additional labor and safety equipment. If the missing shingles have caused underlying damage such as torn underlayment or rotted decking, the cost to replace decking sections adds 200 to 500 dollars more. Emergency tarping service if needed before permanent repair typically costs 200 to 500 dollars. If you have matching shingles left over from original installation and are comfortable working at heights, DIY cost is only 20 to 50 dollars for a bundle of shingles and roofing cement. However, for warranty and insurance purposes, professional repair with proper sealing is recommended.
