FAQs
What situations are considered a roofing or siding emergency in Athens?
Any damage that exposes your home to water intrusion, pests, or structural instability is treated as an emergency. Common examples include storm-torn shingles or panels, tree or limb impact, large leaks, sagging roofs, loose or missing flashing, and siding blown off by high winds. If the damage can cause interior water damage or safety hazards within hours, call us immediately.
How fast can your team reach my property in an emergency?
Our on-call crews are stationed throughout the greater Athens area. Once we receive your call, we dispatch a technician within 15 minutes, and most customers see our team on-site within 1 hour inside the Athens Perimeter and within 90 minutes for surrounding counties (Oconee, Jackson, Madison, Oglethorpe, etc.).
What temporary measures will you take before a full repair?
First, we secure the site to prevent injury or further damage. Next, we install waterproof tarps or shrink-wrap systems over open roof areas, re-fasten loose siding, and stabilize structural elements with emergency bracing if needed. These temporary protections typically last several weeks, giving us time to prepare materials and schedule the permanent repair without risking additional damage to your home.
Are your technicians licensed, insured, and trained for emergency work?
Yes. Our company holds a Georgia Residential/General Contractor license, carries $2 million in general liability insurance, and maintains workers’ compensation coverage for every employee. All emergency repair technicians complete OSHA safety training, fall-protection certification, and annual manufacturer-specific courses for the roofing and siding products we install.
How much does an emergency roof or siding repair cost?
Pricing depends on the size of the damaged area, the materials required, and whether structural repairs are needed. Typical emergency service calls in Athens start at $350, which covers rapid response, inspection, and temporary weatherproofing up to 100 sq ft. Permanent repairs range from $6 to $15 per sq ft for asphalt roofs, $12 to $25 per sq ft for metal roofs, and $7 to $18 per sq ft for siding. We provide a written estimate before any full repair begins.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover emergency repair costs?
Most policies cover sudden and accidental damage caused by storms, falling objects, or vandalism—events that usually trigger emergency repairs. We document the damage with photos, provide a detailed repair scope, and can meet your adjuster on-site to ensure all eligible costs are included. You would only be responsible for your deductible and any upgrades you choose beyond the covered restoration.
