Emergency roof leak repair showing tarping and spot fixes
Water coming in? We stop it first

Emergency Roof Repair in Orange County, NY.

Emergency roof repair for active leaks, storm openings and sudden damage. Our priority is to stop the water: we tarp or temporarily seal the roof as fast as a crew can get there, protect the inside of the house, and then come back with a permanent fix once conditions are safe.

QUESTIONS

Things people actually ask.

More questions? Call (845) 234-9871 or request an estimate — we don't believe in pressure sales.

What should I do while I wait for the roofer?
Move belongings away from the leak, put a bucket under the drip and, if a ceiling is bulging, keep people away from it. Do not go up on a wet roof yourself.
Can a roof be repaired in the rain?
A permanent repair needs dry conditions, but a tarp or temporary seal can usually be installed to stop the water until the weather clears.
Does insurance cover emergency roof repairs?
Many policies cover sudden damage from storms or falling trees, including the cost to prevent further damage. We provide photos and a written scope to support your claim.
How much does an emergency tarp cost?
It depends on the size and location of the damage. We tell you the price before we start, and the tarp is often part of the insurance claim when storm damage caused it.
