When Your Roof Fails in Hunter, You Need a Swift, Expert Response

A sudden storm rolls off the Catskill Mountains, dumping heavy rain on Hunter. You hear that dreaded drip-drip-drip in the attic. In our town, with our fierce winters and summer thunderstorms, a roof problem can become a full-blown emergency fast. At Hunter Emergency Roofing, we are your local experts, ready 24/7 to secure your home. This guide explains everything you need to know about emergency roofing right here in Greene County.

What Is Emergency Roofing, Really?

Emergency roofing is not a full roof replacement. It is the urgent first step to stop more damage. Think of it like a trip to the ER. The goal is to stabilize the patient—your home. We stop the leak, protect your belongings, and make the structure safe. The permanent repair comes later, once the weather clears and we can plan the best fix for your home in Hunter or Tannersville.

A real roofing emergency means water is actively entering your home. This is not a small, slow leak you see on a ceiling on a sunny day. An emergency is a major leak during a storm, a large section of missing shingles after high winds, or a tree limb that has punctured your roof. If you see daylight through your roof from inside the attic, that is an emergency.

Why Hunter’s Climate Tests Every Roof

Our roofs face unique challenges. The heavy, wet snow of a Catskills winter leads to ice dams along the eaves of homes in Pine Hill and Haines Falls. This ice pushes under shingles and lets water into your walls. Our summer storms can bring hail and strong winds that batter asphalt shingles common on many homes here.

Older homes in Hunter’s historic districts often have beautiful but aging wood shingle roofs that need extra care. The constant freeze-thaw cycles we see each spring and fall can wear down roofing materials faster than in milder areas. Knowing these local risks helps us provide the right emergency service for your specific home.

Understanding the Costs of Emergency Protection

We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Emergency services often have two main costs: the call-out or service fee, and the labor and materials for the temporary fix.

An emergency call-out fee covers our team’s immediate dispatch, day or night. This fee is typically a flat rate. The main repair cost is usually for tarping. We secure heavy-duty tarps over the damaged area to seal out water. The cost depends on the size of the area we need to cover and how difficult the roof is to access. We measure in “squares” (a 10-foot by 10-foot area).

A key point for Hunter homeowners: this emergency service cost is often covered by your homeowner’s insurance if the damage is from a covered event like a storm. We work directly with your insurance company to handle the claim, so you can focus on your family’s safety.

When to Call a Pro vs. When to Wait

Knowing when to call can save you stress and money. Call us immediately at (888) 509-1520 if:

• Water is pouring or steadily dripping inside your home.
• A large section of your roof is missing or sagging.
• A tree or large branch has fallen on your roof.
• You have major shingle loss after a storm with more bad weather forecasted.

It may be safe to wait for normal business hours if you notice a small, contained leak on a dry day, a few missing shingles with no leak, or minor cosmetic damage. When in doubt, give us a call. We would rather talk you through it than have you risk more damage.

Your Safety-First Checklist While You Wait

Your safety is the most important thing. Do not, under any circumstances, climb onto a damaged or wet roof. It is extremely dangerous. Here is what you can do safely:

• Move belongings and furniture away from the leak. Place buckets or bins to catch water.
• Turn off electricity to the affected area if water is near lights or outlets.
• Take photos and videos of the damage for your insurance claim.
• Clear a path from your driveway to the damaged area for our crew.

Once our Hunter Emergency Roofing team arrives, we handle everything. We assess the damage from the ground and ladder, secure the area, and install professional-grade tarps.

Local Rules and Next Steps After the Emergency

Once your home is dry and safe, we plan the permanent repair. For most major repairs or full replacements in the Town of Hunter, you will need a building permit. We manage this entire process for you. We pull the required permits from the local building department and schedule all the needed inspections after the work is done. This ensures your new roof meets all local codes for snow load and wind resistance.

In some cases, like with major structural damage from a fallen tree, we may recommend having a structural engineer inspect the home. We can coordinate this as part of your insurance claim.
