FAQs
What should I do immediately after discovering sudden roof damage?
Your safety comes first. Stay out of rooms where water is actively leaking and shut off electricity in affected areas. If safe to do so, place buckets or tarps inside to catch water, then call our 24/7 emergency line. Avoid climbing onto the roof yourself—walking on a compromised surface can cause injury and further damage. Our Petros-based crew can usually be dispatched within the hour to inspect, tarp, and begin repairs.
How fast can your emergency roofing team reach a property in Petros?
Because our technicians live and work in Morgan County, we maintain a rapid-response protocol. In most cases we arrive anywhere in Petros within 60 minutes of your call—day, night, weekends, and holidays. During widespread storm events we triage by severity, but you will receive a confirmed arrival window and text updates so you know exactly when help is coming.
What kinds of issues are considered a roofing emergency?
Any condition that threatens the structural integrity of the roof or the safety of the occupants qualifies. Typical emergencies include: large sections of missing shingles or metal panels, tree or limb punctures, wind-blown or hail-cracked decking, persistent leaks during a storm, sagging roof areas, and chimney or flashing failures allowing water intrusion. If you’re unsure, call us—our dispatcher can often determine urgency from a quick description or emailed photo.
Do you handle insurance claims for storm-related roof damage?
Yes. We document the damage with photos, moisture readings, and written assessments that comply with insurer requirements. Upon request we meet the adjuster on-site, explain the scope of work, and submit itemized estimates using Xactimate pricing. This service helps speed up approvals and ensures you receive the coverage you’re entitled to under your policy.
Will a temporary repair really protect my home until a full roof replacement is scheduled?
Properly installed emergency measures—such as reinforced tarping, shrink-wrap, or board-ups—are designed to keep water, pests, and debris out for several weeks. We use commercial-grade materials that withstand wind gusts common in the Petros area. Before we leave, you receive a written report outlining the longevity of the temporary fix and a proposed timeline for permanent restoration.
How much does emergency roof repair cost and what payment options do you offer?
Costs vary with the extent of damage, roof type, and materials required. Minor patching may start around $250, while extensive storm damage requiring structural work can run higher. After the on-site inspection we provide a clear, written estimate before any work begins. We accept major credit cards, checks, ACH, and offer 0% short-term financing for qualifying customers. If insurance is involved, you’re only responsible for the deductible and any upgrades you choose.
