FAQs
What qualifies as a roofing emergency in Cumberland Gap?
Any situation that exposes the interior of your home or business to the elements is considered an emergency. This includes storm-related punctures, wind-torn shingles, tree or branch impact, sudden leaks during heavy rain, and fire or lightning damage. If water can infiltrate or structural integrity is threatened, call us immediately for 24/7 support.
How fast can your emergency team reach my property?
Because we base our rapid-response crews inside the Cumberland Gap area, we can usually arrive within 60 minutes of your call—often sooner during normal weather and traffic conditions. Severe regional storms may delay response slightly, but we continually stage extra technicians and trucks in high-risk zones to keep arrival times as short as possible.
What should I do while waiting for the crew to arrive?
1) If water is actively entering, place buckets or plastic sheeting under leaks to protect belongings. 2) Turn off electricity in affected ceiling areas if water is near light fixtures or wiring. 3) Avoid climbing onto the roof yourself—it’s dangerous and may worsen the damage. 4) Take quick photos or videos of visible damage from the ground; they can help with insurance claims later.
Will you work with my homeowner’s insurance?
Yes. We document damage with photos, moisture readings, and written assessments that meet insurer requirements. Our office staff can file the initial claim paperwork, meet your adjuster onsite, and provide itemized repair estimates using Xactimate pricing, the industry standard accepted by most carriers.
Do you provide temporary protection as well as permanent repairs?
Absolutely. The first step is to halt further water intrusion. We install heavy-duty tarps, shrink-wrap membranes, or emergency board-ups the same visit. Once conditions are safe and your insurance company gives the go-ahead, we schedule full repairs—shingle or metal replacement, decking work, flashing, gutters, and interior restoration if needed.
How much does emergency roof service cost in Cumberland Gap?
Prices vary with roof type, height, accessibility, and extent of damage. A basic emergency tarp installation typically ranges from $250–$750. Full storm-damage repairs can range from $1,000 for minor shingle replacement to $15,000+ for severe structural restoration. If the work is covered by insurance, you usually only pay your deductible. We provide a written quote before permanent repairs begin and offer financing for any out-of-pocket expenses.
