Emergency roofing services we handle

How our emergency response works

1. Reach out any time. Call or request service online and tell us what’s happening.
2. Fast response. We can typically inspect or respond to emergency roof damage within 24 hours.
3. Assess & document. We find the source of the problem and photograph the damage — useful for your insurance claim.
4. Temporary protection. When appropriate, we install temporary protection such as tarping to help limit further water intrusion.
5. Clear written plan. You get a straightforward estimate for the permanent roof repair.

Permanent repair timing depends on weather, materials, damage severity, and site safety, so we don’t promise same-day repairs — but protecting your home quickly always comes first.

What to do while you wait

• Stay clear of sagging ceilings and any damaged or unstable areas.
• Contain interior water with buckets and move valuables aside.
• Photograph the damage inside and out for your insurance claim.
• Don’t climb onto the roof — let our crew handle it safely.

Storm, hail & fallen-tree damage

Central Texas storms bring hail, straight-line winds, and downed limbs. When a tree or limb has damaged your roof, we check for water intrusion and structural concerns, secure the area, and prioritize stopping further damage. For hail and wind events, we provide storm-damage inspection and insurance-claim support — documenting the damage, meeting your adjuster, and handling the paperwork.

If the damage turns out to be extensive, we’ll help you decide whether a repair or a full roof replacement is the smarter path — and what a replacement typically costs in Austin.
