When Your Roof Needs Help Fast in Clovis

Living in Clovis, you know our skies can change fast. One minute it's blue and sunny, the next, we're watching a line of dark clouds roll in from the west. The heavy hail we get in the spring can sound like a drum solo on your roof. When that sudden storm hits and you hear a drip or see a shingle in your yard, your roof needs help right away. That's where emergency roofing comes in. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about getting fast, expert help for your roof in Clovis.

What Is Emergency Roof Repair?

Let's be clear about what we mean. Emergency roof repair is not the same as scheduling your next roof replacement. It's about stabilization and safety. Think of it like putting a bandage on a cut to stop the bleeding before you see the doctor. The main goal is to stop active damage *now* to protect your home and belongings. A true roofing emergency means there is an active threat to your property's interior or structure.

So, what counts as a real emergency?

• A large, sudden leak pouring water into your living space.
• Major storm damage where shingles are torn off, exposing the roof deck.
• A tree limb or tree that has fallen onto your roof.
• Any hole or penetration in your roof that lets in water, wind, or pests.
• Significant sagging or a visible dip in your roof's structure.

If you see any of these signs, it's time to call for help. For issues like a few missing shingles with no leak, or minor granule loss from aging, you can likely wait for normal business hours.

How Clovis Weather Tests Your Roof

Our climate here in Eastern New Mexico is tough on roofs. We get intense summer sun that bakes asphalt shingles, making them brittle over time. Then, our thunderstorms bring high winds, heavy rain, and that punishing hail we mentioned. In neighborhoods like the historic area near Hillcrest Park or in the newer builds in the Bella Vista area, these weather swings take a toll.

Many homes in Clovis, especially the charming bungalows in Colonial Park, have traditional asphalt shingle roofs. They are popular for good reason, but they need care. The summer heat can dry out the sealant strips, and hail can bruise or crack the shingles. Metal roofs, common on farmhouses and ranches outside of town, handle the wind well but can have sealant issues around fixtures after years of sun exposure.

No matter your material, the rule is the same: catching a small problem early saves you from a big, expensive emergency later.

Understanding the Costs of Emergency Roof Care

We believe in being upfront about costs. Emergency services have different pricing than a standard Monday morning repair for a few reasons.

First, there's often a call-out or trip fee. This covers the cost of mobilizing a crew and truck to your location, especially after hours. In Clovis, this typically ranges from $100 to $250. Then, there may be an after-hours premium if the work happens at night, on a weekend, or on a holiday. This compensates the team for their urgent response.

The most common immediate fix is roof tarping. We secure a heavy-duty, waterproof tarp over the damaged area to seal out the weather. The cost depends on the size of the area and how complex the roof is. For a standard section on a simple roof, you might pay between $300 and $600 for the tarping labor and materials.

Here's the good news: if the damage is from a covered event like a storm, your homeowner's insurance will often cover these emergency stabilization costs. We work with you to document everything thoroughly for your claim. Our goal is to secure your home first and help you navigate the insurance process second.

When to Call a Pro Immediately vs. When to Wait

It's not always easy to know when to hit the panic button. Use this guide:

Call an emergency roofer NOW if:

• Water is actively dripping or flowing into your home.
• You can see sky through your roof from inside the attic.
• A large section of shingles or decking is missing.
• Your ceiling is sagging or bulging from water weight.

It's likely safe to schedule a next-day visit if:

• You see a few shingles in the yard but no leak inside.
• There's a small, isolated stain in the attic that's dry.
• Your gutters are full of granules but the roof looks intact.

When in doubt, call and describe the situation. A good roofer will tell you if it can wait.

Your Safety-First Checklist While Waiting for Help

Once you've called for help, here's what to do (and NOT do) to stay safe.

DO:

• Move furniture, rugs, and electronics away from the leak. Use buckets or bins to catch water.
• Turn off electricity to the affected area if it's safe to do so from your circuit breaker.
• Take pictures and videos of the damage for your insurance company.
• Stay calm. Help is on the way.

DO NOT:

• Do not climb onto a damaged or wet roof. This is extremely dangerous. The structure may be weak, and wet shingles are slippery.
• Do not attempt a permanent repair yourself.
• Do not pull down sagging ceilings; they may contain water that will then flood the room.

Our team is trained to handle these risks safely. Let us do the dangerous work.

Local Rules for Roof Work in Clovis

Once the emergency is handled and you move to permanent repairs, there are local steps to follow. For a full roof replacement in Clovis, you will likely need a building permit from the city. This ensures the work meets local codes for wind resistance and materials. The process usually involves submitting plans, paying a fee, and scheduling inspections during the job.

For most emergency tarping and immediate leak repairs, a permit is not required, as it's considered temporary protective work. We always advise pulling permits for the permanent fix. It protects you as the homeowner and ensures your new roof is built to last through our next Clovis storm.

You Don't Have to Face Roof Trouble Alone

Dealing with a damaged roof is stressful. The sound of dripping water in the night, the worry about what the next cloud bank might bring—it's a lot. But you don't have to manage it alone. In Clovis, we look out for each other, especially when the weather turns.
