Estimating & Workflow
Blistering shingles
A roofing condition where raised pockets of air or moisture form under the surface of an asphalt shingle, showing as bumps or bubbles. Blisters are tied to moisture and manufacturing issues rather than impact, so an inspector checks function before deciding the shingles are damaged. Function, not just appearance, decides coverage.
