FAQs
How quickly can your team respond to a storm-related roofing emergency in Jefferson City?
Our local crews are on call 24/7 and can usually arrive anywhere in Jefferson City or the surrounding Cole and Callaway County areas within 60–90 minutes of your call. We prioritize life-safety and active water intrusion situations first, so you’ll receive an accurate ETA the moment you speak with our dispatch team.
What types of storm damage require an immediate patch-up instead of waiting for full roof replacement?
Any damage that allows water, wind, or debris to breach the roof system needs a rapid patch. This includes missing or fractured shingles, lifted metal panels, punctures from hail or falling limbs, damaged roof vents, and flashing that has blown loose. Temporary patch-ups seal the opening, prevent further structural deterioration, and buy time for a thorough inspection and permanent repair or replacement.
Will an emergency patch cause problems when we file an insurance claim?
No. Most carriers actually require you to mitigate additional damage after a storm. We document the roof with high-resolution photos and a written damage report before, during, and after the temporary repair. This documentation, along with itemized invoices, satisfies insurers that reasonable steps were taken to protect the property, and it often speeds up claim processing.
What materials do you use for temporary storm patches, and how long will they last?
We use commercial-grade tarps, self-adhering modified bitumen membranes, synthetic underlayment, and compatible sealants rated for outdoor exposure. These materials can withstand Missouri’s sun, rain, and wind for several weeks to a few months—long enough for adjuster inspections, permit approvals, and scheduling permanent repairs. We’ll give you a recommended timeline for the next steps before we leave the site.
How much does an emergency roof patch cost in Jefferson City?
Prices vary with roof height, accessibility, and the extent of damage, but most residential emergency patches fall between $350 and $950. Complex commercial roofs or severe structural compromises can be higher. After an on-site assessment, we provide a written, no-surprise quote, and we can often direct-bill your insurance carrier if coverage applies.
What should I do until your crew arrives?
If it’s safe, place buckets or plastic tubs under active leaks, move valuables away from wet areas, and shut off electricity to affected ceiling fixtures. Avoid climbing on the roof yourself—wet, wind-damaged surfaces are extremely hazardous. Then call us and, if applicable, notify your insurance company that professional mitigation is on the way.
