What Counts as a Roof Emergency?

• Active leaks: water dripping or pouring in during or after a storm.
• Storm damage: shingles, panels, or membrane torn off or lifted by wind or hail.
• Fallen trees or debris: limbs or objects that have punctured or damaged the roof.
• Sudden ceiling damage: sagging, bulging, or water-soaked ceilings.
• Exposed roof deck: areas where roofing is missing and the decking or underlayment is open to the weather.
• Damaged flashing or vents: openings around chimneys, skylights, or vents that let water in.
• Commercial roof failures: membrane splits, blown-off sections, or drainage failures that threaten the building or its contents.

Not sure if it's an emergency? If water is entering the building or the roof is open to the weather, treat it as one and call (607) 247-9580.

What to Do Right Now

Your safety comes first. While you wait for help:

• Stay off the roof. Wet, damaged roofs are slippery and dangerous.
• Keep people and pets away from sagging or water-soaked ceilings.
• Move belongings and equipment away from leaks, and cover what you can't move.
• Put containers under drips and, if a ceiling is bulging with water, ask a professional before puncturing it.
• Watch for electrical hazards. If water is near light fixtures, outlets, or wiring, stay away and turn off power at the breaker if you can do so safely.
• Take photos and videos of the damage for your insurance claim.
• Call (607) 247-9580 so we can assess the situation and plan the response.

How Our Emergency Roof Repair Works

• Call (607) 247-9580. Tell us what's happening, where the water is coming in, and what the roof looks like.
• Assessment. We check the damaged area, how far the water has spread, and what's needed to protect the building.
• Temporary protection. Tarping, sealing, or board-up work to stop water from getting in and prevent more damage, where the conditions allow it safely.
• Documentation. We document the damage with photos and notes that can help with your insurance claim.
• Written quote for the permanent repair. Once the building is protected, we explain your options and give you a written quote.
• Permanent repair. The repair or replacement is carried out when you approve the scope, materials, and schedule.

Temporary Repairs vs. Permanent Repairs

Emergency work is meant to stop the damage from getting worse. A tarp or temporary seal is not a permanent fix. Once the building is protected, you'll need a permanent repair, and depending on how much of the roof is damaged, that may be a residential roofing repair, a commercial roofing repair, or a full roof replacement. We'll explain what fits your roof, and you decide.

Weather and Safety Limits

Safety comes first for homeowners and for our crews. Heavy rain, lightning, high winds, ice, and unsafe roof conditions can limit what can be done right away. When it isn't safe to work on the roof, we'll tell you what we can do and plan the earliest safe repair. Response times depend on conditions and demand, and we'll be upfront about timing when you call.

Storm Damage and Insurance

After wind, hail, or a fallen tree, check your insurance coverage and policy deadlines early, and take photos before any cleanup. Many policies expect you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage, so keep receipts for temporary repairs. We can document what we find and provide a written estimate for the work. Your insurance company makes the final coverage decision. For more, see our storm damage roof repair page.

Emergency Roof Repair for Commercial Buildings

A commercial roof failure can damage inventory, equipment, and ceilings, and disrupt tenants. When you call, tell us about the building, the roof type, any areas that need protection, and your access requirements. We'll plan the response around safety and your operations, and we can follow up with a commercial roofing inspection to document the roof's condition.

After the Emergency: Inspect and Prevent

Once the immediate problem is handled, a residential roofing inspection can find damage that isn't visible from the ground, like wet insulation, damaged decking, or other weak spots. Regular residential roofing maintenance or commercial roofing maintenance helps catch small problems before they become emergencies. If your gutters were damaged or are overflowing, see our gutter replacement page.

What Affects the Cost of Emergency Roof Repair?

• Size and severity of the damage: a small leak differs from a storm-damaged section or a failed roof area.
• Temporary protection needed: tarping or board-up scope depends on the roof size and shape.
• Roof type and pitch: steeper and more complex roofs take more time and safety setup.
• Access and conditions: weather, safety needs, and site access affect the work.
• Timing: urgent and after-hours work may be scoped differently from planned repairs.
• Hidden damage: water can damage insulation and decking under the surface.

We'll explain the scope and cost before work begins, and give you a written quote for the permanent repair. If we find additional damage once the area is opened up, we show you, explain it, and get your approval before doing any extra work.
