Hi,
We had extremely high winds in our area last night, and I found a
single asphalt shingle in the front yard. I can't see where a shingle
is missing on our three-year-old house, but we have a high roof with
lots of peaks, and I'm not sure I can even see all of the roof. In
addition, my roof is steeply pitched, and I'm not inclined to try and
go up on the roof myself.
So my question is: do I need to pay someone to replace a (possibly)
single shingle?
Thanks,
Stan McFarland

Why in the world would you actually pay someone? I thought everybody
worked for free.

If you've got shingles coming loose on a three-year old roof, you've got
bigger problems than hiring a roofer.

How do you know the shingle is even from your roof? Are there other
houses nearby that it could have come from? Use some binoculars to
get a closer look. If it is from your roof then it can be replaced
and should be replaced IMO.
It is a hassle for a roofer to go up on a steep roof to replace one
shingle so, yea, you will have to pay. If the shingle is not near the
eaves then staging may have to be placed. Construction is down these
days so you should be able to find someone.

If you had "extremely high winds" it's probably not yours. Think about it.
