Your Guide to Fast, Local Roof Help When Burnet Weather Strikes

When a summer storm rolls over the Hill Country, it can put your Burnet home to the test. Heavy hail, like what we saw last spring near Lake Buchanan, can leave a roof looking like a driving range. High winds from storms off the Llano River can rip shingles right off. And that sudden, intense rain can find the smallest crack and turn your ceiling into a water feature. At Burnet Emergency Roofing, we know that when your roof is in trouble, you need help fast. This guide is for any homeowner in Burnet, Bertram, or Marble Falls who needs to know what a roofing emergency is, when to call, and what to expect.

What Exactly Is Emergency Roof Repair?

Let's clear this up first. Emergency roof repair is not the final, permanent fix. It's the critical first step to stabilize your home and prevent more damage. Think of it like putting a bandage on a deep cut before you go to the doctor. The goal is simple: stop the immediate threat. This almost always means expert roof tarping. Our crews use heavy-duty, waterproof tarps to cover holes, broken skylights, or missing sections of shingles. This seals out rain, wind, and debris until we can schedule a full repair. A real emergency is any situation where water is actively entering your home, or there is a clear danger it will. A few missing shingles on a sunny day? That can likely wait. A large hole from a fallen tree limb with rain in the forecast? That's an emergency.

How Burnet's Climate Wears on Your Roof

Our beautiful Texas climate is tough on roofs. The intense summer sun near Hamilton Creek Park bakes asphalt shingles, making them brittle over time. Then, our sudden downpours test that brittleness. For the many classic ranch-style homes in neighborhoods like The Hollows or along Park Road 4, this sun-and-storm cycle can shorten a roof's life. Older wood shingle roofs on historic homes downtown face the same heat, plus the risk of wind getting underneath. The key is catching small problems before a storm turns them into big ones. Regular checks for cracked or curled shingles, especially after a weather event, can save you from a late-night emergency call.

Understanding the Costs of Emergency Roof Help

We believe in being upfront. Emergency services come with different costs than a standard business-hour repair.

• Call-Out / Dispatch Fee: This covers the immediate mobilization of our crew and truck, 24/7. For the Burnet area, this typically ranges from $150 to $300.
• Tarping Cost: This depends on the damage size and roof pitch. We charge by the square foot of tarp needed, plus labor. For a standard job, you might expect between $300 and $800.
• After-Hours Premium: If we're called out at night, on a weekend, or a holiday, there is an additional labor premium. This ensures our team is always ready for you.

Important Note: If the damage is from a storm or other covered event, your homeowner's insurance often covers these emergency stabilization costs. We work directly with you and your adjuster to make the claim process smooth, so you focus on your family's safety.

When Should You Call an Emergency Roofer in Burnet?

Don't second-guess your safety. If you see any of these, it's time to call.

• You see daylight through your roof from inside the attic.
• Water is actively pouring or steadily dripping into your home.
• A large section of shingles is missing or torn off.
• A tree branch or other object has punctured the roof deck.
• Your ceiling is sagging or bulging with water weight.

For less urgent issues—like a single cracked shingle or a minor leak you can catch in a bucket—it's safe to wait and call during normal business hours. When in doubt, call us at (888) 509-1520. We can help you triage the situation over the phone.

Your Safety-First Checklist While You Wait

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

DO:

1. Move furniture and electronics away from the leak. Use buckets and towels.
2. Turn off electricity to the affected area at the breaker box if water is near lights or outlets.
3. Take photos and videos of the damage for your insurance company.

DO NOT:

1. DO NOT climb onto your roof. A damaged or wet roof is extremely dangerous.
2. Do not try to patch the hole yourself. Improper fixes can cause more damage.
3. Do not pull down sagging ceilings. Let our professionals assess it.

Burnet Rules for Roof Repairs and Permits

Once the emergency is over and it's time for the permanent repair, Burnet and Burnet County have rules. For a full roof replacement, a building permit is required. The process ensures the work meets local codes for wind resistance and materials. For most emergency tarping and immediate leak repairs, no permit is needed. When we do the permanent fix, our team handles the permit paperwork and schedules the required city inspections. It's one less thing for you to worry about.
