Leaking Right Now? We Answer 24/7.

When water is coming through your ceiling, you don't have time to leave a voicemail. Call us now — we pick up around the clock, and same-day emergency response is often available across Salt Lake, Utah, and Tooele Counties.

Call First. We'll Walk You Through the Rest.

One call connects you to an emergency roofer who can dispatch quickly, assess the damage, and get your home stabilized — day or night, weekday or weekend. We handle everything from the first tarp to the final shingle, so you're not coordinating between a storm chaser and a real contractor.

What to Do Right Now While You Wait

Urgency-stage visitors don't need a lecture — they need a list. Here's what to do in the next ten minutes to limit damage and protect your insurance claim.

Contain the Water

Set buckets under active drips and lay towels around the perimeter. Move furniture, electronics, and valuables away from the wet zone. The goal is to keep water damage from spreading to flooring, walls, and belongings while help is on the way.

Don't Climb the Roof

A wet roof is a dangerous roof, especially at night or after a storm. Leave the exterior assessment to us. You will not be able to see what we see, and an injury on top of the damage makes everything worse.

Photograph Everything Before You Touch It

Take photos and video of every wet spot, every damaged ceiling tile, every puddle on the floor — before you clean anything up. These images are the foundation of your insurance claim. The more documentation you have from the first hour, the stronger your position with the adjuster.

Note the Time the Damage Started

Insurance carriers often ask when the damage was first discovered. Write it down now. A clear timeline of when the storm hit, when you noticed the leak, and when you called for help supports your claim and removes room for dispute.

Turn Off Electricity in Affected Rooms if Water Is Near Fixtures

If water is dripping near light fixtures, outlets, or your electrical panel, turn off the breaker for that area. Water and live wiring are a serious hazard. When in doubt, err on the side of caution and call an electrician alongside us.

Once you've done what you can safely do inside, call us. We'll confirm your location, assess whether emergency tarping is needed that night, and get a team moving. You'll know exactly what happens next before we hang up.

From Emergency Tarp to Permanent Repair — One Call, One Crew

We don't hand you off to a second contractor once the crisis is over. Our process runs from emergency stabilization straight through to a documented permanent repair, all under our 10-year workmanship warranty and with the same certified team from start to finish.

 

  • Emergency dispatch: we assess the damage and deploy tarping or temporary weatherproofing to stop active water intrusion
  • Damage documentation: we photograph and document the full scope in claim-ready format, not just what's visible from the ground
  • Permanent repair scope: we provide a written assessment of what needs to be repaired or replaced, with no pressure to upgrade beyond what's necessary
  • Certified installation: all permanent work is completed by GAF, CertainTeed, and IKO certified installers
  • Warranty coverage: every permanent repair is backed by our 10-year workmanship warranty

We Document Like Adjusters — Because We Were

Our founders came from the insurance industry. That background changes how we approach emergency damage documentation from the first visit. We know what adjusters look for, how claims get denied, and what photos and written records give your claim the best chance of approval.

 

When we respond to your emergency, we're already thinking about your insurance claim. Every image we capture, every measurement we record, and every note we write is formatted to support the claims process — not just to scope a repair bid.

Emergency Roof Repair — Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you actually answer the phone at 2 a.m.?

    Yes. Our 24/7 phone line is answered by a real person, not a voicemail system. If your roof is leaking in the middle of the night, call us — we'll assess the situation, give you guidance on what to do right now, and determine whether we need to dispatch an emergency crew that night or first thing in the morning.

  • What does emergency roof tarping cost?

    Emergency tarping costs vary based on roof size, pitch, and how much area needs to be covered. If the damage is storm-related and you have homeowner's insurance, tarping is typically covered as part of your claim. We'll document the tarping work as part of your overall damage report so it's included in your claim submission.

  • How quickly can you get to my house?

    Same-day response is often available across Salt Lake, Utah, and Tooele Counties. Response time depends on your location and current call volume, but we dispatch as fast as we can — we know that every hour of active water intrusion increases the damage.

  • Will my homeowner's insurance cover emergency roof repair?

    If the damage was caused by a covered weather event — hail, wind, heavy snow, or ice — most standard homeowner's policies cover emergency repairs and permanent restoration. Our team documents damage in claim-ready format from the first visit, which gives your claim the strongest possible foundation. We also assist with the full claims process from start to finish.

  • What's the difference between emergency tarping and a permanent repair?

    Emergency tarping is temporary weatherproofing — it stops active water intrusion and protects your home until a full assessment and permanent repair can be completed. Permanent repair addresses the underlying damage: damaged shingles, compromised decking, failed flashing, or whatever caused the leak. We handle both, and our permanent repair work is backed by a 10-year workmanship warranty.
