When the roof opens up in a storm, every minute of rain lands inside your house. We answer 24/7 and connect you with a local roofer who gets the opening covered now — and the permanent repair planned before the tarps come off.
Emergency roof work has two phases. First, stop the water: tarping storm openings, sealing active leaks, and securing loose materials before the next band of weather. Second, the permanent repair — scoped and priced once the immediate crisis is stabilized.
The pros we connect you with treat the two phases separately so you never feel rushed into a big decision mid-crisis. The tarp stops the bleeding tonight; the repair gets planned in daylight with full documentation for insurance.
These are true emergencies — call now:
Rain through an open roof doesn't stay in the attic. It follows framing into walls, pools on ceilings, and soaks insulation, drywall, and flooring. The difference between a tarp tonight and a repair next week is often the entire interior damage bill.
Storm damage also compounds: an opening that takes on water takes on more wind, and loose materials become projectiles in the next gust. Securing the roof fast protects everything below it.
You reach a real person 24/7 — describe what's happening.
The nearest available local pro heads your way.
Openings are tarped and active intrusion stopped.
Damage is photographed for your insurance claim.
The permanent repair is scoped and priced upfront.
Contain water inside with buckets and towels, move belongings out of the drip path, and if a ceiling is bulging with pooled water, a small puncture with a bucket underneath relieves it safely. Stay off the roof — storm-damaged roofs are dangerous to walk.
Emergency mitigation — reasonable steps to prevent further damage — is typically part of storm claims and expected by carriers. The documentation from the visit supports that part of the claim.
A properly installed emergency tarp holds for weeks, but it's a bridge, not a roof. The permanent repair should follow promptly — tarps are for buying time, not for becoming the fix.
