You need action. For immediate dispatch, call (888) 509-1520 now.

What is Emergency Roof Repair?

First, let us clear up a common question: what is emergency roof repair? It is not a full roof replacement. An emergency repair is all about stabilization. It is the critical first step to stop immediate damage and protect the inside of your home. Think of it like putting a bandage on a wound before you see the doctor. Our emergency services focus on three key actions: stopping active leaks, securing loose or missing materials, and making the structure safe. This often involves temporary tarping, sealing around vents or chimneys, and removing dangerous debris. The goal is to give you peace of mind and a dry home until we can schedule the permanent, long-term repair. After the heavy hail in Priceville last spring, many homeowners learned the value of quick, professional tarping to save their ceilings and insulation from ruin.

What Counts as a Real Roofing Emergency?

Not every roof issue needs a 2 a.m. phone call. So, what is a roofing emergency? Here is a simple guide. Call us right away if you see:

• Active water pouring or heavily dripping into your living space.
• Large sections of missing shingles or roofing material after a storm, exposing the wooden deck underneath.
• A tree limb or other large object that has pierced your roof.
• Sagging or a visible dip in your roofline, which could signal a structural problem.
• Major flashing damage around your chimney or skylight during heavy rain.

If you have a few missing shingles but it is not raining, or a minor leak you can catch in a bucket, it is likely safe to wait for normal business hours. When in doubt, just give us a call at (888) 509-1520. We would rather help you triage the situation over the phone than have you risk further damage.

How Priceville Weather Wears on Your Roof

To understand why roofs fail, you need to know our local enemy: the weather. Priceville sits in a zone of high humidity, intense summer heat, and powerful spring storm systems. This combination is tough on roofs.

Our hot, humid summers bake asphalt shingles on homes across Somerville and Falkville, making them brittle over time. Then, our notorious spring and fall thunderstorms bring wind gusts that can lift those weakened shingles. Winter might be mild, but we still get freezing nights that can lead to ice dams in the gutters of older homes in historic Decatur districts, forcing water back under the shingles.

Common local materials include asphalt shingles (by far the most common), metal roofs on many newer builds and farms, and some historic tile in older neighborhoods. Each has its own failure points. For example, in neighborhoods near Point Mallard, older wood shingle roofs often struggle with the constant moisture, leading to rot and moss growth that accelerates wear.

Understanding the Cost of Emergency Roof Services

We believe in transparency. Emergency services understandably cost more than a scheduled appointment due to after-hours labor and immediate mobilization. Here is a breakdown of what to expect.

Emergency Call-Out Fee: Most emergency roofers, including us, have a dispatch or call-out fee. This covers the cost of getting a crew and truck to your home immediately, day or night. In the Priceville area, this typically ranges from $150 to $400, depending on the time and complexity.

Tarping Costs: Emergency roof tarping is our most common service. Cost is usually calculated per square foot of coverage needed, plus labor. For a standard tarp job on a section of roof, you might see costs between $300 and $800. A full roof tarp for major storm damage will be more. This is a crucial investment, as proper tarping is often required by insurance companies to prevent further damage, which they call "mitigation."

Insurance and Your Emergency Repair: If your damage is from a storm, wind, or hail, it is likely covered by your homeowner's insurance. Here is the good news: your insurance policy should reimburse you for reasonable emergency mitigation costs, like tarping. We work with all major insurance companies and can help guide you through the initial steps. Important: Take photos of the damage, both inside and out, before we do any work. This helps your adjuster.

Your Step-by-Step Guide When Disaster Strikes

Step 1: Triage – Is This an Emergency?

Use the list above. If water is coming in fast, or your roof has a major breach, it is time to call a pro. Do not wait.

Step 2: The Safety-First Checklist (What to Do While You Wait)

Your safety is the top priority. While you wait for our crew (typically within 60–120 minutes in the Priceville area), follow this list.

DO:

• Move furniture, electronics, and valuables away from the leak.
• Place buckets or trash cans to catch water.
• Use towels to soak up water on the floor to prevent slipping.
• Take clear photos and videos of all damage for insurance.
• Call your insurance company to start a claim.

DO NOT:

• DO NOT climb onto your roof. A damaged or wet roof is extremely dangerous. Leave this to the professionals.
• Do not poke at the ceiling or try to "find the leak" from the attic if it is unsafe or you are unsure.
• Avoid using electrical outlets near the water leak.

Navigating Priceville Rules for Roof Repairs

Once the emergency is stabilized, you will need a permanent repair. In Priceville and Morgan County, most significant roof replacements require a building permit from the local permitting office. The good news? As your licensed and insured local roofer, Priceville Emergency Roofing handles this entire process for you. We pull the necessary permits, ensure the work meets all local building codes (which are designed for our wind and weather), and schedule the required inspections. For historic homes in certain Decatur districts, there may be additional review steps, which we can help navigate.

In cases of severe structural damage, a structural engineer's report may be needed before full repairs can be made. We will let you know immediately if we see signs that warrant this, and we can recommend trusted local engineers.
