Our crews are dispatched from right here in Kaufman County and can often be at your home in 60 to 120 minutes.

What Exactly Is Emergency Roof Repair?

Let us clear up a common question. Emergency roof repair is not the final, permanent fix. It is the critical first step to stabilize your home and stop further damage. Think of it like first aid for your roof.

A true emergency means active water is entering your living space, or there is a serious threat it will. This includes a large hole from a fallen tree limb, missing sections of shingles after a windstorm, or a major leak that is soaking your insulation and drywall. The goal is to get a professional on site fast to tarp the damaged area, remove debris, and make the structure safe. This temporary protection gives you the time to plan a proper, permanent repair with your insurance company.

Why Mabank Roofs Face Unique Challenges

Our climate here in East Texas directly shapes the roofing emergencies we see. We have hot, humid summers that can bake asphalt shingles on south-facing slopes of homes in the Pine Ridge area. Then, we get intense spring and summer thunderstorms that bring high winds and hail. This one-two punch stresses roofs. Older wood shingle roofs on some of the charming bungalows near downtown Mabank can be especially vulnerable to wind uplift and water absorption.

While we do not get heavy snow, our winter ice storms can cause problems at the eaves. The most common material here is asphalt shingle, but we also see a good number of metal roofs, especially on newer builds in communities around the lake. Each material fails in different ways during a storm, and knowing what to look for is key.

Understanding the Costs of Emergency Roof Services

We believe in being upfront. Emergency services come with different costs than a scheduled, weekday repair.

• Call-Out / Dispatch Fee: This covers the immediate mobilization of a crew and truck. For our Mabank service area, this fee typically starts around a certain range. It ensures we can get to you quickly, day or night.
• Emergency Tarping Cost: This is usually priced per square foot of coverage needed. The final cost depends on the roof's pitch, height, and how much damage there is. We secure the tarp properly so it can withstand rain and wind until permanent repairs can be made.
• Insurance and Your Claim: Here is good news: most emergency stabilization costs are covered by your homeowner's insurance if the damage is from a covered event like a storm. We document everything with photos and notes for your adjuster. We can even help you start your claim. The key is to make the call to stop the damage first; you can deal with the paperwork afterward.

When Should You Call an Emergency Roofer Immediately?

Do not second-guess yourself. If you see any of the following, it is time to pick up the phone:

• You see daylight through your roof from inside the attic.
• Water is actively dripping or pouring into any room.
• A large section of shingles (more than a few feet) is missing or torn off.
• A tree limb has punctured the roof deck.
• Your ceiling is sagging or bulging from water weight.

For smaller issues—like a single missing shingle or a minor, slow leak you can catch in a bucket—it is usually safe to wait for normal business hours. But when in doubt, call. It is always better to be safe.

Your Safety-First Checklist While You Wait

Once you have called us at (888) 509-1520, here is what to do (and not do) to keep your family and home safe:

DO:

• Move furniture, rugs, and electronics away from the leak.
• Place buckets or bins to catch water.
• If safe, go into the attic and place a tarp over stored items.
• Take pictures of the damage for your insurance.

DO NOT:

• DO NOT climb onto your roof. A damaged or wet roof is extremely slippery and dangerous. Leave this to the professionals.
• Do not touch sagging ceilings or poke at them.
• Do not attempt electrical repairs near water leaks.

If the damage seems structural (major sagging, cracks in walls), you may need a structural engineer. We can advise you on this when we arrive.

Navigating Mabank and Kaufman County Roofing Rules

For the emergency tarping and stabilization, no permit is needed. Our job is to make your home safe. However, once you move forward with the permanent roof repair or full replacement, the City of Mabank or Kaufman County will require a building permit. This ensures the work meets local building codes for wind resistance and materials. The process involves an inspection during and after the job. As your local roofing partner, we handle all permit paperwork and scheduling for our customers, making the process smooth after the crisis has passed.
