FAQs
What qualifies as a roofing emergency in Huntsville?
A roofing emergency typically involves any sudden damage that compromises the roof’s ability to protect your home, such as storm-blown shingles, large leaks, tree or limb impact, fire damage, or punctures caused by hail. If water is actively entering the house, structural elements are exposed, or safety is at risk, it’s considered an emergency and requires immediate attention.
How quickly can Roofing Done Right arrive for an emergency repair?
Our on-call crews are based in Huntsville and stand ready 24/7. In most cases we can be on-site within 1–2 hours of your call, even during severe weather events. We prioritize emergencies by severity and work closely with local first responders and utility companies when power lines or structural hazards are involved.
What should I do while waiting for the repair team to arrive?
First, ensure everyone’s safety by staying clear of damaged areas and turning off electricity near active leaks if safe to do so. If water intrusion is minor, place buckets or tarps under leaks and move valuables away. Avoid climbing onto the roof—wet or storm-damaged roofs are extremely slippery and dangerous. Document visible damage with photos for insurance purposes.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover emergency roof repairs?
Most standard homeowner policies in Alabama cover sudden, accidental roof damage caused by wind, hail, falling objects, and fire. We recommend contacting your insurer as soon as possible to start a claim. Roofing Done Right provides detailed inspection reports, photographs, and itemized repair estimates that meet insurance requirements, and we can communicate directly with your adjuster to streamline the process.
How much do emergency roofing repairs cost in the Huntsville area?
Costs vary depending on the extent of damage, roof type, accessibility, and materials required. Temporary tarping usually starts around $300–$600, while permanent repairs for moderate storm damage average $1,000–$3,500. We provide on-site assessments and transparent, written estimates before any work begins, and we offer financing options for repairs not covered by insurance.
Can temporary fixes really protect my home until a permanent repair is scheduled?
Yes. Our crews use commercial-grade tarps, synthetic underlayments, and adjustable roof jacks to secure damaged sections and divert water. These temporary measures are designed to withstand Huntsville’s wind and rain for several weeks. However, they are not a substitute for permanent repairs. We schedule follow-up work as soon as weather and materials allow, ensuring your roof is fully restored to manufacturer specifications.
