What Exactly is Emergency Roofing?

Let's clear up a common question. Emergency roof repair is not the final, permanent fix. Think of it like first aid for your home. The main goal is to stop the immediate damage—to stabilize the situation and prevent it from getting worse. This almost always means getting a heavy-duty tarp securely fastened over the hole or leak. This stops water from pouring into your attic, walls, and ceilings, which can cause thousands in extra damage like mold or ruined insulation. The permanent repair or full replacement comes later, once the emergency is contained and we can plan the best long-term solution for your home.

Is This a Real Roofing Emergency?

Not every roof issue needs a 2 a.m. phone call. So, when should you pick up the phone? A real emergency is when water is actively entering your living space, or there's a major risk it will. Here are the big signs:

• Active Leaking Inside: Water is dripping from your ceiling or running down a wall.
• A Large, Visible Hole: You can see sky through your roof from inside the attic, or shingles are completely gone after a wind event.
• Major Storm Damage: A large tree limb has punched through, or sections of the roof are sagging.
• Missing Flashing or Vent Covers: After high winds, these critical parts can be torn off, leaving a direct path for water.

If you have a few curled shingles or a small stain on the ceiling from an old leak, it's usually safe to wait and call during normal hours. But when in doubt, call us. We'd rather help you assess it over the phone than have you risk more damage.

Secord Township's Climate and Your Roof

Our local weather is tough on roofs. From the lake-effect snow that piles up in the Birch Run area to the ice dams that form on eaves in our older Colonial-style homes near the township center, moisture is the enemy. In summer, fast-moving thunderstorms can bring hail that dimples asphalt shingles on the newer builds in the Meadow Ridge subdivisions. This cycle of freeze and thaw, year after year, can shorten a roof's life. Many homes here have traditional asphalt shingle roofs, which are great but need watching as they age. We also see beautiful metal roofs on farms and older architectural shingles on custom homes. No matter the material, our storms don't play favorites.

Understanding the Costs of Emergency Help

We believe in being upfront. Emergency services do have different costs than a scheduled appointment because we are mobilizing a crew day or night.

• Call-Out / Service Fee: This covers our immediate dispatch to your home in Secord Township or surrounding areas like Auburn or Pinconning. It typically ranges from $150 to $300, depending on time and distance.
• Emergency Tarping: The most common emergency fix. We charge by the square foot of tarp needed and the complexity of the job. Securing a tarp on a steep, icy roof is more involved than a low-pitch one. You can expect a range of $300 to $800 for a standard tarping job to make your home watertight.
• After-Hours Premium: Calls between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. or on weekends may have a slightly higher rate for the labor.

The good news? If the damage is from a storm or fallen tree, your homeowner's insurance often covers these emergency stabilization costs. We work with all major insurers and can help guide you through starting your claim. The emergency tarping is a critical first step that your adjuster will want to see.

When to Call a Pro vs. When to Wait

Let's make it simple. If water is coming in now, call now. Don't wait for the storm to pass or for morning. Every hour can mean more ruined drywall or a soaked attic. For damage like missing shingles where the underlying roof deck seems intact and dry, it might be okay to monitor it and call first thing in the morning. But if another rain system is forecasted overnight, it's better to be safe. After the heavy hail we had last spring near the Secord Township Park, we got calls for homes with dozens of cracked shingles. While that needs repair, it wasn't an immediate leak for most—those homeowners scheduled repairs for the following week.

Your Safety-First Checklist While You Wait

Once you've called us at (888) 509-1520, here's what to do:

• DO: Move furniture and valuables away from the leak. Place buckets or bins to catch water.
• DO: If safe, go into the attic and place a tarp or plastic sheeting over belongings there.
• DO: Turn off electricity to the affected area if water is near lights or outlets.
• DO NOT: Never climb onto a damaged or wet roof. It is extremely dangerous. Let our trained, insured crews handle it.
• DO NOT: Try to tarp the roof yourself from a ladder. Improper tarping can cause more damage and is a fall risk.

Just focus on protecting your home's interior. We'll handle the roof.

Local Rules and Next Steps in Secord Township

Once the emergency is sealed, we'll talk about the permanent repair. For most major storm damage repairs or full replacements in Secord Township, you will need a building permit from the township office. This ensures the work meets Michigan building codes. The process is straightforward, and we handle most of it for you. An inspection will follow to sign off on the work. If the damage is severe, like a major structural sag, we may recommend involving a structural engineer before any work begins. This is rare but important for your safety.
