When Your Solon Roof Has an Emergency, We're Here to Help

Living in Solon, NY, you know the weather can change in an instant.

That's why Solon Emergency Roofing is on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you have water pouring in, call (888) 509-1520 now for immediate dispatch. Our local crews can often be at your home in Solon within 60 to 90 minutes.

What Really Counts as a Roofing Emergency?

Let's be clear: not every roof issue needs a panic call at 2 AM. An emergency roof repair is all about stopping immediate damage to the inside of your home. It's a temporary, stabilizing fix to get you safe and dry until a permanent repair can be scheduled.

A real emergency includes:

• Active Leaks: Water is actively dripping or flowing into your home, especially near electrical fixtures.
• Major Storm Damage: A large section of shingles is missing, decking is exposed, or a tree limb has punctured the roof.
• Structural Sagging: You see a dip or bend in your roofline from inside the attic or outside. This is critical.
• Missing Flashing or Vent Caps: After a bad wind storm in neighborhoods like McGrawville or Cortland, these parts can blow off, creating a direct path for water.

If it's a few cracked shingles or a small, slow leak contained to a bucket, it can usually wait for normal business hours. But if you're unsure, it's always better to call. We can help you triage the situation over the phone.

How Solon's Weather Tests Your Roof

Solon's climate is tough on roofs. Our hot, humid summers can bake asphalt shingles, making them brittle. Our fierce winter storms and the heavy, wet snow we get can lead to ice dams—a major problem for the classic Cape Cods and ranches throughout the area. Those ice dams push meltwater back up under the shingles, where it seeps into the attic and walls. Many of the historic homes near the Solon Hotel might have older wood shingle roofs, which are beautiful but need extra care against moisture and moss.

The freeze-thaw cycle we experience from fall through spring is a silent roof killer. Water gets into tiny cracks, freezes and expands, then melts, making the crack bigger each time. This is why even a small leak in October can become a big problem by April.

Understanding the Cost of Emergency Roof Help

We believe in being upfront. Emergency services come with different costs than a scheduled repair because we're mobilizing a crew after hours, on weekends, or in dangerous weather.

• Emergency Call-Out Fee: This covers the immediate dispatch and assessment, usually starting around $150-$300 in the Solon area.
• Tarping Services: Securing your roof with a heavy-duty, waterproof tarp is our most common emergency fix. Cost depends on roof size and pitch, but you can expect a range of $300 to $800 for a standard home in Solon or nearby Taylor.
• After-Hours Premium: Work done late at night, on Sundays, or on holidays may have a higher labor rate.

Here's the most important part: This is where your homeowner's insurance should step in. If the damage is from a sudden, catastrophic event like a storm or fallen tree, your emergency tarping and temporary repairs are almost always covered. We work directly with insurance companies all the time and can help guide you through the initial steps of the claim.

When Should You Call an Emergency Roofer?

Trust your gut. If you see water spreading across your ceiling or hear dripping in the walls, don't wait. If a storm just passed through and you have daylight coming through your attic, call now. For residents in more remote parts of the town, we know response times from other services can be long. Our goal is to get to you quickly, before a bad situation gets worse.

If the damage is outside but no water is entering the home, and the weather forecast is clear for the next day or two, it may be safe to call for the first available appointment. We'll help you decide.

Your Safety-First Checklist While You Wait

Once you've called us at (888) 509-1520, here's what to do:

DO:

• Move furniture, electronics, and valuables away from the leak.
• Place buckets or trash cans to catch water. Empty them often.
• If safe, go into the attic and poke a small hole in the sagging ceiling bulge to release trapped water and prevent a larger collapse.
• Take photos and videos of the damage for your insurance company.

DO NOT:

• Do not climb onto your roof. A damaged or wet roof is extremely slippery and dangerous. Leave that to our professionals.
• Do not touch wiring near water.
• Do not attempt permanent repairs yourself. Focus on damage control.

Navigating Solon and Cortland County Roofing Rules

Once the emergency is handled, you'll likely need a permanent repair or full replacement. In Solon and Cortland County, most major roof replacements require a building permit. This ensures the work meets local codes for wind and snow loads—which is crucial for our area. The process involves an inspection of the roof deck and underlayment before shingles go on, and a final inspection after. As your local roofer, we handle all the permit paperwork and coordinate with the county inspector, so you don't have to worry about it.
