Your Lexington, NC, Emergency Roofing Experts Are Here to Help

When a storm sweeps through Davidson County, it leaves its mark. After the heavy hail in Lexington last spring, many homeowners saw roof leaks they never expected. Some had shingles torn clean off.

That is where Lexington Emergency Roofing comes in. We live and work right here. We know the neighborhoods from Southmont to Cotswold. We know the old craftsman bungalows in the Historic District and the newer builds in Beckford Village. And we know that when your roof is in trouble, you need help fast. Our number is (888) 509-1520. We are here 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

What Counts as a Real Roofing Emergency?

A roofing emergency is any damage that puts your home, your belongings, or your family's safety at immediate risk. The goal of emergency roof repair is not the final, permanent fix right away. It is stabilization. It is about stopping the problem from getting worse until a full repair can be done. Think of it like a cast for a broken arm. The cast stabilizes the arm so it can heal properly later.

So, what is a true emergency here in Lexington?

• A large section of your roof is missing or has collapsed.
• Water is pouring, not just dripping, through your ceiling.
• A tree limb has pierced your roof.
• Severe wind has peeled back flashing or torn off many shingles, leaving the wood decking exposed.
• You have major leaks around chimneys or skylights after a storm.

Minor leaks or a few missing shingles when no rain is forecast are often urgent, but may not be a middle-of-the-night emergency. When in doubt, give us a call at (888) 509-1520. We can help you decide.

How Lexington's Climate Wears on Your Roof

Our weather in central North Carolina is a mixed bag, and each season brings its own challenge for your roof.

Summer Storms: We get powerful thunderstorms that roll in from the west. These bring heavy rain, lightning, and strong, gusty winds. This is the most common cause for calling an emergency roofer in our area. The wind can get under shingles and lift them right off, especially on older roofs.

Winter Ice & Moisture: While we do not get mountains of snow, we do get freezing rain and ice. This can lead to ice dams at the edge of your roof. Ice dams trap melted water behind them, forcing it under shingles and into your home. The constant humidity we have also promotes moss and algae growth on north-facing roof slopes, which can degrade shingles over time.

Common roof types around Lexington include classic asphalt shingles, durable metal roofs on many farmhouses and newer builds, and some historic slate or tile in older parts of town. No matter the material, our weather tests them all. A regular inspection can catch small issues before they turn into a big, wet problem inside your house.

Understanding the Costs of Emergency Roof Services

We believe in being upfront. Emergency services often come with different costs than a standard business-hours repair. Here is what you can expect.

Emergency Call-Out Fee: Most emergency roofers, including us, have a dispatch fee. This covers the cost of getting a crew and truck mobilized after hours, on weekends, or on holidays. For our Lexington service area, this fee typically ranges from $150 to $300. This is usually applied toward your total repair bill.

Emergency Roof Tarping Cost: Tarping is our first line of defense. We secure heavy-duty tarps over the damaged area to stop water entry. The cost depends on the size of the area, the pitch of your roof, and how hard it is to access. For a standard section in our area, you might expect tarping to cost between $200 and $600. We measure and price it by the 'square' (a 10' x 10' area).

Insurance Claims: If storm damage caused your emergency, your homeowner's insurance will likely cover the emergency stabilization costs (like tarping) and the permanent repair. We work with all major insurance companies and can often deal with your adjuster directly. It is critical to document the damage with photos before we make any temporary repairs. Do not worry about the paperwork—we help you through it.

When Should You Call an Emergency Roofer Immediately?

Knowing when to call can save you thousands in interior damage. Here is a simple triage guide for Lexington homeowners.

Call Now (Day or Night):

• Active, heavy water intrusion into your living space.
• You can see daylight through your roof from inside the attic.
• Structural elements like rafters or trusses are sagging or broken.
• A storm has just passed and you have major visible damage.

It is Safe to Wait for Normal Business Hours:

• A few granules in your gutters after a storm.
• One or two shingles are slightly curled or cracked, but not missing.
• A minor, slow drip in an attic that you can catch in a bucket when it rains.

If you are unsure, it is always better to call. We are happy to advise. Call (888) 509-1520 now if you see major damage.

What to Do (and NOT Do) While You Wait for Help

Safety is the most important thing. Follow this checklist after you have called us.

DO:

• Move furniture, electronics, and rugs away from the leak.
• Place buckets or pots to catch dripping water.
• Use towels to soak up water on floors.
• Take clear photos and videos of the damage inside and out (from the ground!).
• Call your insurance company to start a claim if it is storm-related.

DO NOT:

• Do not climb onto your roof. A damaged or wet roof is extremely slippery and unstable. This is how serious injuries happen.
• Do not try to patch the leak yourself from the outside.
• Do not pull down sagging ceilings, as they may be holding water.
• Do not use electrical appliances in rooms with ceiling leaks.

Let the professionals handle the dangerous part. That is what we are trained for.

Navigating Lexington's Roof Repair Rules

For most emergency tarping and immediate leak repairs, you do not need a permit. Our priority is making your home safe and watertight.

However, if the damage is so severe that you need a full roof replacement, the City of Lexington will require a building permit. The process ensures the work meets the North Carolina Building Code. As your local roofer, we handle the permit application and scheduling of the required city inspections. This is a standard part of our full replacement service. For historic homes in districts like Uptown Lexington, there may be additional review steps, which we can help you navigate.
