FAQs
What situations count as a roofing emergency in Jonesborough?
Any sudden damage that leaves your home exposed to water or structural failure is considered an emergency—this includes storm-blown shingles, tree or limb impacts, large leaks, hail strikes, wind-torn flashing, or a roof collapse. If you see daylight through the decking, active water dripping, or sagging rafters, call our emergency line right away.
How fast can your emergency response team reach my property?
Our on-call technicians live and stage materials inside Washington County, so we can typically be on-site anywhere in Jonesborough within 60–90 minutes of your call—24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. During widespread storm events we triage calls by severity to make sure the most vulnerable homes are secured first.
What temporary measures will you take when you arrive?
The priority is to stop water intrusion and stabilize the structure. We’ll install reinforced tarps, synthetic underlayment, or shrink-wrap sheeting, secure any loose decking, and shore up damaged trusses if needed. Photos are taken for insurance documentation, and a detailed report with a permanent repair estimate is provided before we leave.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover emergency roof repairs?
Most policies cover sudden, accidental roof damage from wind, hail, fallen limbs, or fire. Temporary mitigation like tarping is almost always covered because insurers require you to prevent further damage. We work directly with all major carriers, supply the adjuster with photographs and moisture readings, and can bill the insurer for the emergency service if your policy permits.
Should I wait until morning or better weather to call the emergency line?
No. Waiting can allow gallons of water to soak insulation, drywall, flooring, and personal belongings, leading to mold growth and higher restoration costs. Our crews have safety lighting, fall-arrest gear, and storm-rated tarping materials that can be installed in rain, wind, or even light snow. Call as soon as you notice a problem.
How much does an emergency service call cost in the Jonesborough area?
The standard after-hours dispatch fee is $275, which covers travel, inspection, and up to one hour of on-site labor for tarping or board-up. Materials such as reinforced tarps or plywood are billed at cost plus 15%. If your insurance claim is approved, these charges are usually reimbursed except for your deductible. We provide a written price sheet before any work begins.
