Hey everyone,

During the recent windstorm I noticed a row of my shingles flapping upwards at the very top of my roof. I couldn't see any damage after the fact but hired a recommended roofing contractor to have a look. I was not home at the time but they said they came and said the roof seems fine in their opinion and are invoicing me $200 for the inspection. I am not sure they actually went up the roof and I see footprints to the furthest part of my backyard so they might have had a look from there on the ground.

I questioned them and told them I saw flapping and they offered to revisit during the spring free of charge. Does this sound reasonable? Do shingles normally flap and stick back on? Should I pay them now and have them come back during the spring? Am I risking any damage during the winter?

Thanks all.
