Is Water Coming In Right Now?
Call 612-255-9605 and describe what you are seeing. We will tell you what happens next, honestly, including whether it can wait until morning.
The First Hour, Before We Arrive
1. Contain The Water
Buckets under the drips. Move furniture and electronics. If a ceiling is bulging, poke a small drain hole over a bucket. It prevents a much bigger collapse.
2. Kill The Power
Cut power to the affected area if water is anywhere near fixtures or outlets.
3. Stay Off The Roof
A wet, damaged or icy roof is not a homeowner project. That is what we are for.
4. Photograph Everything
The ceiling, the water path, the debris in the yard. If this becomes an insurance claim, those photographs matter.
5. Call 612-255-9605
Tell us what you are seeing. We will tell you what happens next, honestly.
6. Move What You Can
Anything that cannot get wet, and anything you would hate to lose. Water finds the floor eventually.
How Our Emergency Response Works
1. Priority Scheduling, Honestly
An open, actively leaking roof goes to the front of the line. We will tell you truthfully when we can be there. No invented forty-five-minute response theatre, just a real commitment that we keep.
2. Protect First
We stop the water professionally: emergency dry-in, proper tarping anchored the correct way rather than screwed through your shingles at random, and temporary sealing at the failure point. The goal is a home that is safe and dry tonight.
3. Then Repair Correctly
A tarp is not a repair. Once the roof is protected and dry enough to work, we diagnose the true source and fix it to manufacturer spec: flashing, valley, penetration or field damage.
Emergency work follows the same honest pricing framework as every repair we do. A setup and minimum of roughly $250 to $500 covers the priority trip, with repairs quoted plainly from there. The full breakdown is on our roof repair page.
What Counts As A Roofing Emergency
- Active interior leaking. Ceiling stains spreading while you watch, dripping fixtures, bulging drywall.
- Storm openings. Wind-thrown shingles or a tree limb through the deck. Our storm and insurance process.
- Ice dam breakthroughs. February water over the eaves and into the walls. We handle the leak now and the cause after. Roof snow removal.
- Not sure? Call anyway. A slow stain that can wait until tomorrow costs less than a panic call at midnight, and we will tell you honestly which one you have.

If It Is Storm Damage, The Insurance Clock Matters
Emergency protection is exactly what a policy asks of you. Preventing further damage is the homeowner's job after a loss, and documented properly it supports a claim rather than complicating it.
We photograph the damage before and after the dry-in and keep the paper trail clean. We write our own itemized estimate for the work and we talk to your adjuster about two things: what is damaged, and what it costs to fix.
That Is Where Our Lane Ends
We do not represent you, adjust your claim, or negotiate on your behalf. We never inflate a claim and we never touch your deductible. You own the claim, and we hand you every photograph and measurement we took, at no charge, whatever you decide to do next.

Emergency Roof Repair Questions, Answered
Contain the water, keep people and power away from it, stay off the roof, take photographs, and call 612-255-9605. Active leaks get priority scheduling and we will tell you honestly when we can be there.
Both, in that order. First a professional dry-in so your home is protected tonight, then the correct permanent repair once conditions allow. We do not tarp and vanish.
The same honest framework as all our repair work: a setup and minimum of roughly $250 to $500 for the priority trip and the materials run, then the repair itself quoted plainly. Most land between a few hundred and a few thousand dollars. You will know the numbers before permanent work starts.
If the cause is a covered event such as wind, hail or a falling tree, emergency mitigation is typically part of the claim, and preventing further damage is what a policy asks of you. We document everything so the claim starts clean, and we will tell you honestly if what you have is not claim-worthy. We do not represent you or negotiate on your behalf.
Yes. Deck damage, structural carpentry and the roof system rebuild. Our carpentry crew handles what the impact broke and our roofing crews make it weather-tight and then whole.
For an active leak, yes, within what is safe. We will not put a crew on a roof in lightning or on black ice, and we will say so plainly rather than promise something we cannot do safely.
Then we will say so and book you normally, which costs you less. Telling you the difference is part of the job.
