Emergency Roofing Help in Hollis, NH: Your Local Guide

When a surprise storm rolls through Hollis, it's not just the apple orchards that feel it. Heavy summer downpours or a classic New Hampshire winter ice storm can turn a minor roof issue into a major headache for your home. A sudden leak over the living room or a tree branch through the garage roof doesn't care that it's a Sunday night. That’s why knowing who to call for emergency roofing in Hollis, NH, matters so much. This guide is here to explain everything, from what counts as a real emergency to how we at Hollis Emergency Roofing can help, day or night.

What Is a Roofing Emergency, Really?

Let's break it down. An emergency roof repair is all about stopping the damage right now. It's not the final, perfect fix. It's the critical step to protect your home and your things until a full repair can be done. Think of it like putting a bandage on a cut—it controls the situation so you can heal properly later.

So, what's a real emergency? If water is actively pouring into your home, that's an emergency. If a large section of your roof is open to the sky after wind damage, that's an emergency. If you have major structural damage, like a sagging roof deck or a heavy tree limb that's compromised the rafters, that's an emergency. A few missing shingles after a calm day? That can likely wait for normal business hours. But when the safety of your home is at immediate risk, that's when you need an emergency roofer.

Hollis Weather and Your Roof

Our roofs here in Hollis face a bit of everything. The historic colonials near the town common and the newer builds in neighborhoods like Silver Lake or along Route 122 all deal with the same New England climate. Our heavy, wet snow is famous for causing ice dams along the eaves. These dams can force water back up under the shingles and into your attic. Summer brings its own challenges with fast-moving thunderstorms that can drop hail or whip up strong winds, especially in more open areas.

Many Hollis homes have asphalt shingle roofs, which are great but have a lifespan tested by our freeze-thaw cycles. Older homes might have wood shingles that require special care. No matter the material, our humidity and seasonal extremes mean regular checks are smart—and knowing who to call in a pinch is essential.

Understanding Emergency Roofing Costs in Hollis

We believe in being upfront. Emergency services often come with a call-out fee, especially for after-hours, weekends, or holidays. This fee covers the immediate dispatch of our crew and truck. For most homes in the Hollis area, you can expect this initial fee to be in the range of $150 to $300.

The most common emergency service is roof tarping. We secure heavy-duty tarps over the damaged area to stop water and debris from getting in. The cost for tarping depends on the size and difficulty of the job, but it's typically priced by the 'square' (a 10x10 foot area). In Hollis, emergency tarping often falls between $300 and $800 for the service, plus materials. The full repair cost comes later, after a proper assessment. The good news? If the damage is from a storm or other covered event, your homeowners insurance will often cover both the emergency tarping and the permanent repair, minus your deductible. We work with all major insurers and can help guide you through the claims process.

When to Call for Help Immediately

Trust your instincts. If you're worried, it's better to call. Here's a simple triage guide:

Call an emergency roofer NOW (day or night):

• You see daylight through your roof from inside the attic.
• Water is actively dripping or flowing into a living space.
• A large section of shingles or decking is gone.
• A tree or large branch has pierced the roof structure.
• The roof or ceiling is sagging significantly.

It's likely safe to wait for normal hours:

• A few shingles are loose or missing, but the underlayment looks intact.
• You notice a small, slow leak in the attic that is contained to a bucket.
• There's minor granule loss from shingles after a hail storm with no visible leaks.

When in doubt, just call (888) 509-1520. Our team can help you figure it out over the phone.

Your Safety-First Checklist While You Wait

Your safety is the #1 priority. Here's what to do after you call us and before our crew arrives:

DO:

• Move furniture, electronics, and valuables away from the leak or wet area.
• Place buckets or trash cans under active drips.
• Use towels to soak up standing water on floors.
• Turn off electricity to the affected room if water is near lights or outlets.
• Take photos and videos of the damage for your insurance company.

DO NOT:

• Do not climb onto your roof. A damaged or wet roof is extremely dangerous. Leave it to the pros.
• Do not try to patch the leak from the inside with tape or other materials.
• Do not poke at sagging ceilings, as they could collapse.

Local Rules and the Repair Process in Hollis

Once the emergency is stabilized, we move to the permanent repair. For most major repairs or full replacements in Hollis, a building permit from the town is required. This ensures the work meets the New Hampshire State Building Code. Don't worry—as your local roofer, we handle pulling the permit for you. After the work is done, a town inspector will come by to check that everything is sound and up to code. It's a system designed to protect you, the homeowner. In cases of severe structural damage, we may also recommend a consultation with a structural engineer to ensure everything is perfectly safe.
