Help Is Here When Your Lexington Hills Roof Fails

We know our weather in the Santa Cruz Mountains. One moment, it's a sunny day over the hills; the next, a powerful storm rolls in from the Pacific. Last spring, heavy wind and rain tore through Lexington Hills, and we saw many roofs lose shingles and start to leak. When your roof is damaged, water can pour into your home fast. It can ruin your ceilings, walls, and precious belongings. You need help right away. That's where we come in. Lexington Hills Emergency Roofing is your local team, ready 24/7 to protect your home. Call (888) 509-1520 now for immediate dispatch to your neighborhood.

What Is Emergency Roof Repair?

Emergency roof repair is all about speed and safety. The main goal is to stop more damage from happening. We do not do the full, permanent fix right then. First, we make your roof safe and dry. This is called "stabilization." The most common job we do is roof tarping. We cover the damaged area with a strong, waterproof tarp and secure it. This keeps rain, wind, and debris out until we can schedule the permanent repairs. Think of it like putting a bandage on a cut to stop the bleeding before you see the doctor.

What Counts as a Real Roofing Emergency?

Not every roof problem needs a 2 a.m. phone call. A real emergency means water is actively coming into your living space, or there is a major risk it will. Here are clear signs you need to call for emergency help:

• Active Leaking: Water is dripping or pouring into any room of your home.
• Major Storm Damage: A large section of shingles is gone, or you can see a big hole in your roof.
• Fallen Tree or Branch: A tree limb or whole tree has landed on your roof.
• Sudden Sagging: Part of your roof or ceiling looks like it is drooping or bending down. This is very serious and could mean structural damage.
• Missing Flashing: After a bad wind storm, the metal strips around your chimney or vents are torn off, letting water in.

If you see any of these, it's time to call a pro. For small, slow drips that you can catch in a bucket, it may be okay to wait until morning. But when in doubt, give us a call at (888) 509-1520. We can help you decide.

How Lexington Hills Weather Wears Down Your Roof

Our local climate is tough on roofs. The fog rolls in, bringing moisture. Summer brings dry heat that can bake asphalt shingles. Then, our winter storms hit with heavy rain and strong winds coming off the ocean. In neighborhoods like Brook Knoll, Glenwood, or along Old Santa Cruz Highway, many homes have older roofs that have faced decades of this cycle.

Many Lexington Hills homes have classic asphalt shingle roofs. They are popular and work well, but the constant wet-dry cycles can make them brittle over time. We also see beautiful wood shake roofs in historic areas, but these need extra care as they can hold moisture and be more prone to moss. No matter your roof type, the goal is the same: keep the water out. Knowing our local weather helps us spot trouble fast and recommend the right materials for your repair.

Understanding the Costs of Emergency Roof Care

We believe in being clear about costs from the start. Emergency services often cost more than a standard appointment because our team is coming out at any hour, day or night.

• Call-Out / Service Fee: This covers our immediate dispatch to your home in Lexington Hills. It typically ranges from $150 to $300. This fee is for the assessment and initial safety steps.
• Emergency Tarping: The cost to tarp your roof depends on the size of the damage and how steep your roof is. For a standard job in our area, you can expect to pay between $300 and $800. We price it per job, not per hour, so you know the cost upfront.
• After-Hours Premium: If we come out between 8 p.m. and 7 a.m. or on a major holiday, there may be an additional charge to cover crew overtime.

The good news is, if the damage was caused by a storm or other sudden event, your homeowner's insurance will often cover these emergency stabilization costs. We work with all major insurance companies and can help you with the claims process. The key is to document the damage with photos and call us quickly to prevent more damage, which helps your claim.

When to Call an Emergency Roofer in Lexington Hills

Use this simple guide to decide. Call us immediately at (888) 509-1520 if:

• You see daylight through your roof from inside the attic.
• Water is spreading across your ceiling or down your walls.
• A large tree limb is resting on your roof.
• Your ceiling is sagging or bulging with water weight.

It is likely safe to wait for normal business hours if:

• You have a single, slow drip into a bucket that is not getting worse.
• You find a few missing shingles but no signs of leaking inside.
• You notice minor granule loss in your gutters after a storm.

If you are unsure, just call. We would rather help you be safe.

Your Safety-First Checklist While You Wait

Your safety is the most important thing. Here is what to do and what NOT to do after roof damage.

DO:

• Move furniture, rugs, and electronics away from the leak.
• Place buckets or pots to catch water.
• Use a towel to soak up water on the floor to prevent slipping.
• Turn off electricity to the affected room if water is near light fixtures or outlets.
• Take clear photos of the damage inside and out (from the ground).
• Call your insurance company to start a claim.

DO NOT:

• DO NOT climb onto your roof. A damaged or wet roof is extremely slippery and dangerous. You could fall and get seriously hurt.
• Do not poke or prod a sagging ceiling. It could collapse.
• Do not try to make permanent repairs yourself. Our emergency crew has the right training and equipment.

Local Rules for Lexington Hills Roof Repairs

For emergency tarping, you do not need a permit. Our job is to make your home safe. However, for the permanent roof replacement or major repair, the City of Santa Cruz County requires a building permit. This ensures the work meets California building codes for wind and fire safety. As your local roofer, we handle all the permit paperwork and schedule the required inspections. This is one less thing for you to worry about during a stressful time. We know the process for homes throughout the Lexington Hills area and make sure everything is done right.
