When Your Roof Fails in Ely, You Need Help Fast

Ely, Nevada, knows extreme weather. Our summers can bring sudden thunderstorms that pound rooftops with hail. Our winters bring heavy snow loads that test every shingle and seam. When a roof springs a leak during a storm, or a tree limb crashes down after a high wind, it is not just an inconvenience—it is an emergency. That is why Ely Emergency Roofing is here, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We are your local experts in stopping damage fast. If you see water pouring in, call us immediately at (888) 509-1520. Our team can often be at your door in Ely within 60 to 90 minutes, ready to secure your home.

What Exactly Is Emergency Roof Repair?

Let us clear this up. Emergency roof repair is not the final, perfect fix. It is the critical first step to stabilize your home and prevent more damage. Think of it like first aid for your roof. The main goal is to stop the problem from getting worse until a permanent repair can be scheduled.

This almost always starts with professional roof tarping. Our crews use heavy-duty, waterproof tarps to cover the damaged area. We secure them tightly so wind cannot get underneath. This stops rain, snow, and debris from entering your attic and living spaces. It protects your insulation, drywall, and belongings from costly water damage. After the heavy hail in Ely last spring, we tarped several roofs in the Murry Summit and East Ely neighborhoods, saving homeowners thousands in interior repairs.

What Counts as a Real Roofing Emergency?

Not every roof issue needs a 2 a.m. phone call. Here is when you should call an emergency roofer right away:

• A major active leak where water is flowing or dripping steadily into your home.
• Visible structural damage, like a large hole, a collapsed section, or a fallen tree limb on the roof.
• Missing or badly torn shingles after a severe storm that expose the roof deck.
• Damage from a fire that has compromised the roof's integrity.

If it is a small, slow drip you can catch in a bucket, it may be safe to wait until morning. But if you are unsure, it is always better to call. We are here to help you decide.

How Ely's Climate Attacks Your Roof

Our local weather creates unique challenges. The intense summer sun in White Pine County bakes asphalt shingles, making them brittle over time. Then, our sudden summer thunderstorms can drop marble-sized hail, pummeling those weakened shingles. In winter, snow piles up. On older homes in the McGill and Ruth neighborhoods, this weight can lead to stress and ice dams at the eaves, forcing water back under the shingles.

Many Ely homes, from historic bungalows to newer builds in the southern developments, have asphalt shingle roofs. They are common because they handle our dry climate well, but they are not invincible. Metal roofs are also popular for their durability against snow and heat. No matter your roof type, years of our temperature swings and weather extremes will eventually take a toll.

Understanding the Costs of Emergency Roof Services

We believe in transparency. Emergency services cost more than a standard business-hour appointment because our team is on call and ready to roll at any hour.

• Emergency Call-Out Fee: This covers the immediate dispatch and assessment. For most homes in Ely, this fee typically ranges from $150 to $300.
• Roof Tarping Cost: This is usually priced by the square foot of tarp needed and the complexity of the job. For a standard tarping job to cover storm damage, you can expect costs in the range of $200 to $600. The final price depends on the roof's pitch and the damage location.
• Insurance Claims: Most storm damage repairs are covered by homeowners insurance. A key part of our emergency service is providing detailed documentation—photos, notes, and a scope of work—for your insurance adjuster. We work directly with many insurance companies to help streamline your claim.

The total for an emergency stabilization visit often falls between $350 and $900. This initial investment almost always saves money by preventing extensive water damage inside your home.

When Should You Call a Pro vs. Wait?

Use this simple guide to triage your roof problem:

CALL (888) 509-1520 NOW:

• You can see daylight through your roof from inside the attic.
• Water is leaking near electrical fixtures or wires.
• A large section of shingles is gone after a storm.
• You have significant water staining spreading across a ceiling.

It May Be Safe to Schedule a Next-Day Visit:

• A single shingle is missing with no sign of a leak.
• You notice minor granular loss from aging shingles.
• There is a small, slow drip from a known spot that only happens in heavy rain.

When in doubt, call us. We would rather come out and ensure your home is safe.

Your Safety-First Checklist While Waiting

Your safety is the top priority. Do not, under any circumstances, climb onto a damaged or wet roof. It is extremely dangerous. Here is what you CAN do safely:

1. Move belongings and furniture away from the leak. Cover items with plastic sheeting if available.
2. Place buckets or containers to catch dripping water. Empty them regularly.
3. If water is near electricity, turn off the power to that area at your breaker box if you can do so safely.
4. Take clear photos and videos of the damage, both inside and out (from the ground). This helps us and your insurance.

What NOT to do: Do not attempt a DIY patch with household materials. Do not pull on hanging or damaged materials. Leave the repair to the professionals.

Ely's Local Rules for Roof Repairs

For emergency tarping to stop a leak, no permit is needed. Our priority is making your home safe. However, if the damage requires a full roof replacement, the City of Ely requires a building permit. The process ensures the work meets local building codes for wind and snow loads. As your local roofer, we handle all permit applications and scheduling of required city inspections. This is one less thing for you to worry about during a stressful time. For historic homes in the downtown area, there may be additional guidelines to follow, and we are familiar with those as well.
