FAQs
How quickly can you respond to an emergency roofing call in Belvidere?
Our on-call crews are based in Belvidere and can usually arrive anywhere in Boone County within 60–90 minutes of your call, 24/7. During major storm events we prioritize homes with active leaks and structural risks, and we keep you updated with real-time ETA texts so you know exactly when help is coming.
What kinds of emergency roof problems do you handle?
We repair or temporarily stabilize damage caused by wind, hail, fallen trees, ice dams, fire, and sudden structural failures. Typical services include tarping exposed decking, replacing torn-off shingles, sealing chimney or vent flashing, re-securing loose gutters or fascia, and installing temporary support if rafters are compromised. Once the roof is watertight, we provide a full assessment and estimate for permanent repairs or replacement.
Will my homeowners insurance cover the emergency repair work?
Most homeowners policies cover sudden, accidental roof damage (for example from wind or hail) and the related emergency mitigation costs. After we stabilize your roof we document all damage with dated photos, measurements, and a written incident report that you can forward directly to your insurer. We work with all major carriers, meet adjusters on-site when requested, and can bill your insurance company directly for approved work to minimize your out-of-pocket expense.
Do you offer any warranties on emergency repairs?
Yes. Temporary measures such as tarping are guaranteed to remain watertight for 30 days—long enough to schedule a permanent fix. Permanent repairs use manufacturer-approved materials and come with a workmanship warranty of up to 10 years, plus any applicable shingle or membrane material warranty (20–50 years depending on product). You’ll receive all warranty documents in writing before we leave your property.
Can you match my existing shingles or roofing materials when you perform the permanent repair?
In most cases, yes. We maintain inventories of the most common architectural shingle colors used in the Belvidere/Rockford market and have supplier relationships that allow us to source older or specialty profiles quickly. If an exact match is no longer manufactured, we’ll show you the closest available options and discuss blending or transitioning techniques so the repaired area is virtually invisible from the curb.
What should I do to minimize damage before your crew arrives?
1. Move valuables and electronics away from active leaks; place buckets or towels to catch water. 2. Turn off electricity to affected ceiling fixtures if water is dripping near them. 3. Avoid climbing onto the roof yourself—wet or damaged surfaces are extremely slippery. 4. If a limb has broken through the roof, leave it in place; removal can widen the hole. 5. Take photos of the interior and exterior damage for insurance purposes. Then call us anytime at (815) XXX-XXXX; the sooner we’re notified, the faster we can stop the water and protect your home.
