FAQs
What situations require an emergency roof or siding patch in La Follette?
Any sudden damage that leaves your home exposed to the elements—such as storm-blown shingles, a fallen tree limb, hail punctures, or wind-torn siding—should be treated as an emergency. If you can see daylight through the roof, notice active leaks, hear loose panels flapping, or find soaked insulation or drywall, call us immediately to prevent structural damage and mold growth.
How fast can your crew reach my property after I call?
Because we are based in the La Follette area and keep an on-call crew 24/7, we typically arrive within 1–2 hours of your call, weather and road conditions permitting. During widespread storm events, triage is performed, but we still aim to secure every residence the same day.
What does an emergency patch involve?
Our technicians first perform a brief but thorough assessment to locate all compromised areas. For roofing, we remove loose debris, secure tarp or synthetic underlayment, and fasten temporary shingles or sheathing as needed. For siding, cracked or missing panels are covered with exterior-grade plywood or matched vinyl/aluminum pieces. All seams are sealed with waterproof tape or sealant to stop water infiltration until a permanent repair can be scheduled.
Will the temporary patch damage my roof or siding further?
No. Materials used—such as reinforced tarps, plastic caps, and non-corrosive fasteners—are chosen to protect existing surfaces. When the permanent fix is performed, our crew carefully removes the patch and any residual adhesive to ensure your roof deck or siding substrate remains intact.
How much will an emergency patch cost and is it covered by insurance?
Most emergency patches range from $250–$750 depending on the size of the damaged area and access requirements. Homeowner’s insurance generally reimburses ‘reasonable emergency mitigation costs,’ so keep all receipts. We provide detailed invoices and can photograph the damage for your claim to simplify the reimbursement process.
Do you offer warranties or follow-up service after the patch?
Yes. While temporary patches themselves are not intended as long-term solutions, we guarantee them for 30 days against leaks. We also schedule a complimentary follow-up inspection to create a quote for permanent repairs or full replacement. If you hire us for the final work, the patch fee is credited toward your project.
