We Help New Oxford Homes After a Storm

You're reading this because your roof is leaking, there's a tree on your house, or hail just pounded your neighborhood. The panic is real. In New Oxford, PA, our weather can turn in a heartbeat. A calm summer afternoon can become a thunderstorm with baseball-sized hail, like the one that hit the area in May 2023. A heavy winter snow can quickly lead to dangerous ice dams on older roofs near Lincoln Way or in the quiet streets off of Greenbriar Road. When that happens, you need help now. That's what we do at New Oxford Emergency Roofing. We provide fast, safe, and expert emergency roof repairs to stop the damage and protect your home and family.

What Really Counts as a Roofing Emergency?

Let's clear this up first. An "emergency roof repair" is not a fancy term for a regular roof job. It's a specific, urgent service to stabilize your home and prevent more damage until a full repair can be made. Think of it as roof first aid.

Here are clear signs you have a true roofing emergency in New Oxford:

• Active Water Leaking Inside Your Home: This is priority number one. Water dripping from your ceiling, running down walls, or pooling in your attic means your home's structure is getting wet.
• Major Storm Damage: This includes a fallen tree limb or entire tree on your roof, large sections of missing shingles after a windstorm, or a hole punched through your roof.
• Visible Sagging or Structural Damage: If your roof line looks bent or saggy, the supporting structure may be compromised. This is very serious.
• Large Hail Damage: The hail storm last spring left many homes in neighborhoods like Hunter's Ridge and Fox Ridge with cracked shingles and dented vents that started leaking soon after.

If you see any of these, it's time to call a pro. For everything else—like a few loose shingles, minor leaks you can contain with a bucket, or routine maintenance—you can usually schedule a visit during normal business hours.

How Our Local Climate Wears on Your Roof

To understand why emergencies happen, it helps to know what our roofs are up against. New Oxford has a classic Pennsylvania climate. We get hot, humid summers that bake asphalt shingles and make them brittle. We get cold, snowy winters where melting and re-freezing snow creates ice dams, especially on homes with older insulation or complex roof lines common in historic districts.

Many beautiful older homes here, especially the classic brick and frame houses near the square, have original wood shingle roofs. These require special care and are more susceptible to moisture damage. Newer builds in communities like The Meadows often have modern asphalt shingles. All these materials can fail under extreme conditions. Knowing your roof's age and material helps us respond faster when you call.

Understanding the Costs of Emergency Help

We believe in being upfront. Emergency roof service has different costs than a scheduled repair because it requires immediate dispatch, often after hours or on weekends.

• Emergency Call-Out / Dispatch Fee: This covers our immediate response to get a crew and truck to your home in New Oxford. For our service area, this fee typically ranges from $150 to $300, depending on the time of day.
• Tarping Service: This is our most common emergency fix. We securely cover the damaged area with a heavy-duty, waterproof tarp to seal out the weather. The cost depends on the size and difficulty of the job, but you can expect a range of $200 to $800 for most residential tarping in the New Oxford area.
• After-Hours & Weekend Premium: Work performed late at night, on weekends, or on holidays may have a higher labor rate to cover crew overtime.

Important Note on Insurance: Most of these emergency costs are often covered by your homeowner's insurance if the damage is from a covered event like a storm. We work directly with insurance companies all the time and can help guide you through the claims process. Never delay an emergency repair because you're worried about insurance—stopping the damage is the most important step.

When to Call Us Immediately vs. When to Wait

Use this simple guide to triage your situation:

Call New Oxford Emergency Roofing NOW at (888) 509-1520 if:

• Water is actively dripping inside your living spaces.
• You see daylight through your roof from inside the attic.
• A large object (tree, branch) has pierced the roof.
• There is a pronounced sag or dip in your roof structure.

It's likely safe to wait for normal business hours if:

• You have a few missing shingles but no leak.
• You notice a small, slow leak in the attic that is easily contained in a bucket.
• You see cosmetic hail dents on your gutters but no broken shingles.
• You want a general inspection after a storm.

Your Safety Checklist While You Wait For Us

Your safety is the most important thing. Here's what to do after you call us:

• DO move valuables and furniture away from leaks. Use buckets and towels to catch water.
• DO turn off electricity to any rooms or fixtures where water is near wiring or light fixtures.
• DO document the damage with photos and videos for your insurance company.
• DO NOT climb onto your roof. A damaged or wet roof is extremely slippery and dangerous. Let the professionals handle it.
• DO NOT attempt permanent repairs. Your goal is to contain the situation, not fix it.
• If you suspect major structural damage, consider leaving the home until we can assess it.

Local Rules and Next Steps

Once the emergency is contained, you'll need a permanent repair or full replacement. In New Oxford and Adams County, most major roof replacements require a building permit. The process ensures the work meets local codes for wind and snow loads, which is crucial here. As your local roofer, we handle the entire permit process for you. After the work is done, a municipal inspector will come to ensure everything is up to standard. This protects your investment and keeps your home safe for years of Pennsylvania weather.
