FAQs
What qualifies as an emergency roof repair in Fountain City?
Any roof damage that allows water, pests, or outside air to enter your home and threatens additional structural damage is considered an emergency. Examples include storm-blown shingles, large leaks, tree or limb impacts, and flashing failures around chimneys or vents. If waiting 24–48 hours could worsen the condition of your roof or interior, it counts as an emergency and our team will prioritize a same-day patch.
How quickly can you arrive for a same-day emergency patch in Fountain City?
Because our repair crews are locally based, we can usually be on-site within one to three hours of your call—often faster during normal business hours. We keep trucks stocked with tarps, underlayment, shingles, and sealants so we can start stabilizing the roof immediately on arrival.
Will a same-day patch fix my roof permanently?
A same-day emergency patch is designed to stop active leaks and prevent further damage until a permanent repair or replacement can be scheduled. We use professional-grade materials and install them to manufacturers’ specs, but patched areas may still need a long-term solution. Before we leave, you’ll receive a written assessment outlining whether a full repair, partial re-roof, or replacement is recommended, along with cost estimates.
How much does emergency roof repair typically cost?
Pricing depends on the size of the damaged area, roof pitch, material type, and accessibility. A basic tarp-and-seal service may start around $250–$350, while shingle or flashing replacement can range from $350 to $1,000+. We provide an up-front quote after the on-site inspection. All charges include labor, materials, disposal, and a 12-month workmanship guarantee on the patch.
Can you help with insurance claims for storm damage?
Yes. We document all storm-related damage with time-stamped photos, video, and written notes. Our staff can meet with your adjuster, explain the repairs performed, and supply itemized invoices. Most homeowners’ policies in Fountain City cover sudden, accidental roof damage from wind, hail, or falling debris, and our documentation makes the claim process smoother.
What roofing materials do you carry for same-day repairs?
Our service vehicles are stocked with Owens Corning and GAF asphalt shingles in the most common Fountain City colors, metal panel patches, composite slate, modified bitumen rolls for low-slope sections, ice-and-water shield, chimney flashing kits, and high-grade sealants. If a specialty material is required, we install a weather-tight temporary patch first and return with the exact match as soon as materials arrive.
