FAQs
What situations are considered a roofing emergency, and how fast can you reach my Bluff City property?
A roofing emergency is any sudden issue that threatens the structural integrity of your roof or the safety of your home—examples include storm-blown shingles, large leaks, fallen limbs, or punctures from hail. Because Bluff City often sees severe weather, we maintain a dedicated on-call crew 24/7. In most cases, we can be on-site within 1–2 hours of your call, assess the damage, and install a temporary patch to stop active water intrusion.
What type of temporary patches do you use, and how long will they last?
We carry commercial-grade tarps, peel-and-stick membranes, and quick-cure roofing cement. The choice depends on roof pitch, material, and weather conditions. Properly installed, these patches can protect your home for several weeks—long enough to schedule a permanent repair or full replacement. However, they are not meant as a long-term solution, so we strongly recommend following up with a comprehensive repair as soon as weather and materials allow.
Will applying an emergency patch affect my insurance claim?
No. In fact, most insurers require homeowners to take reasonable steps to mitigate further damage. A professionally installed emergency patch documents that you acted promptly to protect the property, which can strengthen your claim. We provide photos, a written damage report, and an itemized invoice you can submit to your adjuster.
Can you work during heavy rain or at night?
Yes. Our technicians are trained and equipped to work safely in wet or low-light conditions. For night calls we use portable LED floodlights; for rain we use harness systems and non-slip footwear. If winds exceed safe limits, we may secure a tarp from the ground level and return when conditions improve, but you will always receive a stop-gap solution before we leave.
How much does an emergency roof patch cost in Bluff City?
Pricing starts at $250 for minor tarp installations and can range up to $800 or more for complex multi-story homes or extensive temporary membrane work. The exact cost depends on roof accessibility, material type, and patch size. We provide an upfront quote on site, and the inspection fee is waived if you proceed with the permanent repair through us.
What should I do to limit damage while waiting for the repair crew?
1) Move valuables, electronics, and furniture away from the leak area. 2) Place buckets or plastic bins under active drips to collect water. 3) If safe, turn off electricity in affected ceiling zones to avoid shorts. 4) Do NOT climb on the roof yourself—wet shingles are slippery and dangerous. Call us immediately at our 24-hour Bluff City line, and we will guide you through any additional safety steps over the phone.
