Your Roof Got Hit Hard in Alexandria? We Get It.

If you're reading this, a storm probably just blew through Alexandria. Maybe it was the heavy snow up from Lake Ontario. Or a summer thunderstorm that ripped across Jefferson County.

At Alexandria Emergency Roofing, we see this all the time. Our local crews are ready 24/7 to respond. Call (888) 509-1520 now for immediate dispatch.

What Exactly Is "Emergency Roof Repair"?

Emergency roof repair isn't about fixing everything right then and there. It's about stabilization. Think of it like first aid for your home. Our first goal is to stop the problem from getting worse. That usually means getting a heavy-duty waterproof tarp over the damaged area to keep rain, snow, and wind out of your attic and living spaces. A permanent fix comes later, once we've secured the home and can do a full, safe assessment. A real emergency is anything that puts your home or family at immediate risk.

Is This a Real Roofing Emergency in Alexandria?

Not every roof issue needs a 3 a.m. phone call. But some absolutely do. In our area, with our wild weather swings, here’s when to call a pro immediately:

• Active Water Pouring In: If water is streaming through your ceiling or down your walls, don't wait.
• Major Structural Damage: A large tree branch through the roof, a large section of sagging decking, or a collapsed area.
• Missing Shingles After a Severe Storm: Especially if the underlayment (the waterproof layer) is exposed. A storm like the one that hit near Wellesley Island last spring can peel shingles right off.
• Severe Leak Over Electrical Systems: Water near your fuse box or light fixtures is a fire hazard.

If it's just a single, small drip into a bucket during a light rain, it's likely safe to wait for normal business hours.

How Alexandria's Climate Wears Down Your Roof

Our roofs face a unique battle here in Northern New York. The historic homes in downtown Alexandria Bay, with their steep pitches, fight heavy snow loads and ice dams. Modern builds in neighborhoods like Redwood or out towards Fort Drum deal with fierce winds that whip across the open land. Summer brings humidity that can blister asphalt shingles, and our freeze-thaw cycles are brutal. Water seeps into tiny cracks, freezes, expands, and slowly breaks things apart. Many older homes here have classic asphalt shingles, while newer builds often use metal for its snow-shedding ability. Knowing your material helps us respond faster.

What to Expect: Emergency Service Costs in Alexandria

We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Emergency services have extra costs due to after-hours labor and rapid response.

• Emergency Call-Out/Dispatch Fee: This covers mobilizing a crew day or night. It typically ranges from $150-$300.
• Tarping Service: The cost to install a secure, waterproof tarp depends on the size and danger of the job. You can expect a range of $200-$600+. It's priced per job, not just per square foot, due to the complexity.
• After-Hours Premium: Work done between 6 p.m. and 7 a.m. or on weekends/holidays has a higher labor rate.

Important: This initial stabilization work is almost always covered by homeowners insurance if the damage is from a covered event (like a storm). We work directly with adjusters and can provide the documentation and photos they need.

Your Safety-First Checklist While You Wait

Once you've called us at (888) 509-1520, here's how to stay safe:

• DO NOT climb onto the roof. A wet or damaged roof is extremely dangerous.
• Move valuables and furniture out of the way of water.
• Place buckets or bins under active leaks.
• If water is near electricity, turn off the power at the breaker if you can do so safely.
• Take photos and videos of the damage for your insurance claim.
• Keep children and pets away from the affected area.

Navigating Alexandria's Rules for Roof Repairs

For emergency tarping, no permit is needed—our priority is your safety. However, once we move to permanent repair or full replacement, the Town of Alexandria or Village of Alexandria Bay will likely require a building permit. This ensures the work meets local codes for wind and snow loads. We handle this process for you. A final inspection will be scheduled to close out the permit. If the damage is extensive and involves major structural elements, we may recommend a structural engineer's assessment, which is also a common step for complex insurance claims.
