When Your Roof Can't Wait Until Monday
Roof emergencies don't wait for business hours. A sudden leak during dinner. A tree branch through the roof at midnight. A massive storm hitting at 4 AM. When your home needs immediate help, you need a roofer who picks up the phone and shows up fast.
Our 24/7 emergency team is on-call every day of the year, including weekends and holidays. We respond to Charlotte metro emergencies typically within 2 hours — faster in urgent situations. Our first priority is stopping immediate damage through professional tarping, then planning proper permanent repairs.
GAF Certified, fully licensed, and fully insured. Most emergency tarping costs are covered by homeowners insurance as "mitigation" expenses — we'll help you document everything for your claim.
Roof Emergencies We Handle
If you're not sure if it's an emergency — call us. Most of these require action within hours to prevent major damage.
Active Leaks & Water Intrusion
Water dripping inside? Stained ceiling after rain? Every hour of delay means more damage to drywall, insulation, and flooring.
Fallen Trees & Branches
Tree branches or entire trees on your roof require immediate assessment. Structural damage can worsen quickly if not stabilized.
Roof Punctures & Holes
Visible holes in your roof need immediate tarping. Debris, animals, or structural failure can all create dangerous openings.
Sudden Roof Collapse or Sagging
Visible sagging, bulging, or partial collapse is a structural emergency. Evacuate the area and call immediately.
Wildlife Damage
Raccoons, squirrels, birds can tear through soffits and create entry points. Requires prompt sealing and repair.
Fire Damage
After a house fire, exposed roof areas need immediate tarping and structural assessment — even minor fires compromise roof integrity.
Severe Weather Damage
Tornado, severe thunderstorm, or hurricane aftermath. See our storm damage services.
Lightning Strikes
Direct lightning strikes cause structural damage, electrical hazards, and fire risk. Requires immediate professional assessment.
What to Do Before We Arrive
After you've called us, these steps help minimize damage while we're on our way.
Ensure Your Family's Safety
Move away from the damaged area. If there's structural collapse, visible sagging, or active water dripping into electrical outlets — leave the affected room and shut off power to that area if you can do so safely.
Contain the Water
Place buckets or towels under active leaks. Move furniture, electronics, and valuables away from affected areas. If water is pooling on your ceiling (you'll see a bulge), carefully puncture the lowest point with a screwdriver to release it into a bucket — this prevents larger collapse.
Document Everything
Take photos and videos of all damage — roof exterior (from ground only, stay off the roof), interior water damage, affected items. This documentation is critical for your insurance claim. Timestamp everything.
Call Your Insurance Company
File an initial claim report. Tell them a licensed roofer is coming to perform emergency tarping. Most policies cover mitigation costs (including tarping) as part of your claim — you don't need to get approval before stopping active damage.
Do NOT Climb on the Roof
Damaged roofs are dangerous. Wet shingles, compromised decking, and hidden weak spots cause serious falls. Stay off the roof — we have the safety equipment and training to assess and work on it safely.

Emergency Roof Questions
What qualifies as a roofing emergency?
Active leaks, visible holes or punctures, fallen trees on the roof, sagging or collapsing sections, fire damage, and any situation causing ongoing water intrusion into your home. When in doubt, call us — we can often assess over the phone whether it's truly urgent.
How quickly can you arrive at my property?
Typically under 2 hours for emergencies anywhere in Charlotte metro. In high-demand situations (after major storms) it may take longer, but our crews are staged across the region for fast response.
Do you charge more for after-hours emergencies?
Emergency service has a callout fee that reflects after-hours labor costs, but emergency tarping itself is typically $400-$1,200. Most of this cost is covered by homeowners insurance as mitigation. You get a clear price breakdown before we begin work.
Will my insurance cover emergency tarping?
Yes, in almost all cases. Emergency tarping and mitigation expenses are covered by homeowners insurance as "reasonable efforts to prevent further damage" — you don't need pre-approval to stop active damage. We provide documentation for your claim.
How long does a tarp last on my roof?
Our heavy-duty commercial tarps properly installed typically last 30-90 days in Charlotte weather. We always plan permanent repair within that window. Our tarps are secured with lumber and nails — not just tape — so they don't blow off in storms.
Can you tarp a roof in heavy rain or at night?
We attempt emergency tarping whenever it's safely possible. Our crews have proper lighting, safety harnesses, and weather gear. In extreme weather (lightning, hurricane-force winds) we may need to wait until conditions are safe for personnel, but we'll still arrive immediately to assess and advise.
What if I have a minor leak, not an emergency?
Small leaks can still cause major damage if left untreated — rot, mold, electrical issues. Call us anyway and we'll help you decide if it can wait or needs immediate attention. Most minor leaks can be scheduled within 24-48 hours during normal business hours.
Do you work on holidays?
Yes, 365 days a year. Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Year's — if you have a roof emergency, we respond. Roof damage doesn't care about holidays, and neither do we.
