What Is a Real Roofing Emergency?

Let us be clear: not every roof issue needs a midnight call. But knowing the difference can save your home and your wallet. Emergency roofing is about one thing: stabilization. It is the quick, temporary fix that stops the problem from getting worse until a permanent repair can be scheduled. This is not the time for a full roof replacement. It is the time to get a heavy-duty tarp secured or to make a critical patch that stops water from pouring into your living room.

A real emergency means immediate danger to your home or family. Here is what counts:

• Active, heavy water intrusion: Water is pouring or steadily streaming in, threatening ceilings, walls, and electrical systems.
• Major structural damage: A large section of the roof is sagging, a tree limb has punctured the decking, or you have missing shingles over a wide area after a storm.
• Safety hazards: Loose or fallen roofing materials pose a danger to people or property below.

After the heavy hail we saw in Flanders last spring, many homes in areas like Millbrook had sudden, urgent leaks from damaged shingles. That is a textbook emergency.

Why Flanders Roofs Need Special Care

Our local climate directly shapes the roofing emergencies we see. The humid summers can bake asphalt shingles, making them brittle. Our cold, snowy winters bring the constant threat of ice dams along the eaves, especially on homes with older insulation. That ice can push under shingles and force water right into your attic. We also have our share of older homes with original wood shake roofs in historic areas, which need particular attention during high winds.

The most common materials we work on are asphalt shingle roofs, but we also handle emergency repairs for metal roofs on barns and agricultural buildings in the more rural parts of town. Each material fails in its own way, and our crews are trained to triage them all quickly and safely.

Understanding the Costs: No Surprises

We believe in upfront honesty. Emergency services do cost more than a scheduled repair because we are mobilizing a crew, often after hours or on a weekend, to prevent further damage. Here is a basic breakdown:

• Emergency Call-Out / Dispatch Fee: This covers the immediate response and assessment, typically ranging from $150 to $300 depending on time of day.
• Emergency Roof Tarping: This is our most common first step. The cost depends on the size and difficulty of the job, but you can expect a range of $300 to $800 to securely cover and protect the damaged area. We use professional-grade materials that will hold through rain and wind.
• After-Hours Premium: For calls between 6 PM and 6 AM or on major holidays, there may be an additional labor premium.

The important thing to remember is that emergency repair costs are often covered, in whole or in part, by your homeowner's insurance if the damage is from a covered event like a storm. We can help you document the damage thoroughly for your claim. A small out-of-pocket cost now to tarp the roof can prevent tens of thousands in water damage later, which your insurance may not fully cover.

When to Call an Emergency Roofer (and When to Wait)

Use this simple guide to make the call.

Call us immediately at (888) 509-1520 if:

• You see a large leak spreading across your ceiling.
• You have visible holes or missing sections of your roof after high winds.
• Your roof is sagging or you hear cracking noises from the attic.
• A tree or large branch has fallen onto your roof.

It is likely safe to wait for normal business hours if:

• You have a few missing shingles but no active leak.
• You notice a small, slow drip in an isolated area during dry weather.
• You see minor granule loss or wear on older shingles.

When in doubt, call. We would rather assess the situation over the phone and give you peace of mind than have you risk serious damage.

Your Safety-First Checklist While You Wait

DO:

1. Move valuables and furniture: Get items away from the leak. Poke a small hole in a sagging ceiling bulge to let water drain and relieve pressure.
2. Contain the water: Use buckets, trash cans, and towels. Turn off electricity to the affected area at the breaker if water is near fixtures or outlets.
3. Document the damage: Take clear photos and videos of the leak, the roof damage from the ground, and any damaged belongings for insurance.
4. Call your insurance company: Report the claim and start the process.

DO NOT:

1. DO NOT climb onto the roof. A wet or damaged roof is extremely dangerous. Let the professionals handle it.
2. DO NOT attempt permanent repairs. You could void warranties or cause more damage.
3. DO NOT ignore the problem hoping it will stop. Water damage grows quickly.

Navigating Flanders and Suffolk County Regulations

Once the emergency is stabilized, permanent repairs will follow. For major storm damage replacements, a building permit from the Town of Southampton is usually required. The good news is, as your local roofer, we handle the entire permit process for you. We know the local codes for wind resistance and snow load. We also coordinate the required inspections to ensure your new roof is not only safe but fully compliant, which is crucial for your insurance and home's resale value. For severe structural damage, we may recommend involving a structural engineer, and we will always work directly with your insurance adjuster.
