FAQs
How quickly can your team respond to a storm-damaged roof in Morristown?
We maintain a 24/7 emergency line for Morristown homeowners and businesses. In most cases, a crew can be on-site within 1–2 hours of your call to assess damage, stop active leaks, and install temporary protection such as tarps or shrink-wrap.
What types of temporary roofing repairs do you provide after a storm?
Depending on the extent and location of the damage, we use heavy-duty tarping, self-adhering underlayment, plywood board-ups, and commercial-grade shrink-wrap systems. These measures seal openings, redirect water, and protect the structure until permanent repairs can be scheduled.
How long will a temporary repair last before a full roof replacement or repair is needed?
Temporary solutions are designed to safeguard your property for several weeks, sometimes up to 90 days, depending on weather conditions. However, we recommend scheduling a permanent repair as soon as possible to avoid secondary issues such as mold, structural decay, or further shingle loss.
Will you help me file an insurance claim for storm damage?
Yes. Our inspectors document all storm-related damage with photos, videos, and a written report. We can meet with your adjuster on-site, explain the scope of work, and provide the detailed estimates insurers require, helping you navigate the claims process smoothly.
What should I do immediately after noticing roof damage from a storm?
First, ensure everyone’s safety by staying clear of downed power lines and loose debris. If water is entering the house, place buckets under leaks and move valuables away. Then call our 24-hour hotline. Do not climb on the roof yourself—wet, storm-damaged roofs are extremely hazardous.
How much does emergency tarping or other temporary roof repair cost in Morristown?
Pricing varies with roof size, slope, material, and damage severity, but most emergency tarping jobs range from $300 to $1,200. We provide a free on-site estimate before any work begins, and many insurance policies reimburse these temporary protection costs when the storm is a covered event.
