What Truly Counts as a Roofing Emergency?

Not every roof issue needs a midnight call. But knowing the difference can save your home from major damage. An emergency roof repair is all about immediate stabilization. It's a fast, temporary fix—like tarping a hole or sealing a leak—to protect your home until a permanent repair can be scheduled. It is not the full replacement. So, what makes it an "emergency"?

• A large, sudden leak inside your home, especially over electrical fixtures or living spaces.
• Major storm damage, like a tree limb through the roof or a large section of missing shingles.
• Severe structural sagging or a compromised roof deck you can see from inside your attic.
• Any damage that leaves your home open to the elements during active rain, snow, or high winds.

For many of the charming older bungalows in Old Town Monroe, a small, slow leak in a dry attic might be something you can catch with a bucket and address the next day. But when that heavy, wet Pennsylvania snow melts and causes an ice dam leak into your main living area, that's an emergency. When in doubt, it's always safer to call a pro for advice.

Why Monroe's Weather is Tough on Roofs

Our local climate here in Monroe, PA, creates a unique set of challenges for your roof. We get hot, humid summers that bake asphalt shingles, followed by cold, snowy winters that can lead to ice dams along the eaves. This freeze-thaw cycle is hard on roofing materials. Many of the modern builds in the Winding Brook area use durable architectural shingles, while you'll still see beautiful historic slate on some of the grander homes. No matter the material, our weather takes its toll.

Summer thunderstorms can bring hail, which can dent metal roofs and bruise asphalt shingles. High winds common in our region can get under the edges of shingles and peel them back. And in winter, poor attic ventilation in many of our area's homes can lead to ice buildup at the roof's edge, forcing meltwater back under the shingles and into your home. Understanding these local risks helps us diagnose and fix problems faster.

Understanding the Costs of Emergency Roof Care

We believe in being upfront about costs. Emergency services happen outside normal business hours, so there is typically a premium for the rapid response.

• Call-Out / Dispatch Fee: This covers the cost of mobilizing a crew and truck after hours, on weekends, or holidays. For our Monroe service area, this typically ranges from $150 to $300.
• Emergency Tarping: This is our most common emergency service. The cost depends on the size and difficulty of the job. You can generally expect $3 to $8 per square foot of tarp installed. A standard 20'x20' area might cost between $200 and $500 to secure professionally.
• After-Hours Labor Rates: The actual repair work performed during an emergency call will often be billed at a higher hourly rate than standard daytime work.

The good news is, if the damage is from a covered peril like a storm, your homeowner's insurance will often cover these emergency stabilization costs. We work with you to document everything thoroughly for your insurance claim, taking photos and providing detailed reports to help your adjuster.

When to Call Us Immediately vs. When You Can Wait

Making the right call can keep you safe and save money. Here's a simple guide:

Call an Emergency Roofer NOW (Day or Night):

• You have active, heavy water pouring into your home.
• A tree or large branch has fallen on your roof.
• You see a large section of roof decking exposed or missing.
• Your roof is sagging dangerously.
• A storm has just passed and you have significant visible damage.

It's likely safe to wait until business hours:

• A minor, slow drip in an unfinished attic that you can catch in a bucket.
• A few missing shingles with no sign of a leak (when dry weather is forecast).
• General wear-and-tear like cracked flashing or worn seals around vents.

If you're unsure, just give us a ring at (888) 509-1520. We'd rather help you triage the situation over the phone than have you risk further damage.

What to Do (And What NOT to Do) While You Wait

Your safety is the absolute priority. While you wait for our crew to arrive, follow this checklist:

DO:

• Move valuables, furniture, and electronics out of the way of the leak.
• Place buckets, pots, or tarps to catch water.
• Mop up standing water to prevent slips and floor damage.
• Turn off electricity to any affected rooms or fixtures if it's safe to access the breaker panel.
• Take clear photos and videos of the damage for insurance.

DO NOT:

• DO NOT climb onto your roof. A damaged roof is unstable, and wet shingles are extremely slippery. This is how serious injuries happen.
• Do not attempt a permanent repair yourself.
• Do not ignore the problem, hoping it will stop.

For severe structural damage, we may recommend involving a structural engineer before any repairs begin. We'll help you navigate that process.

Navigating Monroe's Local Roofing Rules

Once the emergency is stabilized, you'll likely need a permanent repair or full replacement. In Monroe, any structural roof repair or full re-roofing typically requires a building permit from the city. The process is there to ensure the work meets current Pennsylvania building codes for safety and wind resistance. As your local contractor, we handle the permit paperwork for you. After the permanent repair is complete, a city inspector will usually visit to approve the work. This important step protects your investment and ensures your roof is sound for our local weather.
