We are that pro for Nixon, Smiley, and Nordheim. Call us anytime at (888) 509-1520.

What Counts as a Real Roofing Emergency?

Let us talk about what "emergency" really means for your roof. It is not every small leak or missing shingle. An emergency is a problem that threatens your home right now. It could cause more damage or even be unsafe.

A real emergency needs two things: stabilization first, then a permanent fix. Our first job is to make your home safe and dry. We stop the problem from getting worse. That often means putting a heavy-duty tarp over the hole. It means boarding up broken skylights. It is a temporary shield against the next rain. Only after your home is secure do we plan the full repair or replacement.

So, what are the big red flags? Call for emergency help if you see:

• Active water pouring inside, especially near lights or walls.
• A large section of roof deck is visible from the ground—you can see wood or rafters.
• Part of the roof or a tree limb has fallen onto the structure.
• Severe damage from hail or wind that left many shingles gone or granule loss all over your yard.
• Any damage that makes you worry about the safety of your family.

After a heavy hailstorm last spring near Nixon City Park, many neighbors called us with just these problems. We were there to help them fast.

How Nixon's Climate Wears on Your Roof

Our weather here in Gonzales County is tough on roofs. We have hot, humid summers where attic heat can bake shingles. Then we get those powerful thunderstorm cells that bring wind and hail. Older homes in neighborhoods like North Nixon or along FM 1115 often have traditional asphalt shingle roofs. These can become brittle over time. The constant expansion and contraction from the heat weakens them. Then, a strong storm can finish the job.

We also see metal roofs on newer builds and farms around the area. While metal is strong, hail can still dent it. High winds can loosen the fasteners. No material is completely bulletproof against Texas weather. Knowing your roof's age and material helps you understand its risks. An asphalt roof over 15 years old here is more likely to have an emergency during a bad storm.

What to Expect with Emergency Roofing Costs

We know cost is a big worry when you are stressed. We believe in being clear about prices from the start.

Most emergency roofers, including us, have a call-out fee. This covers our team's immediate dispatch, day or night. For Nixon and the surrounding area, this fee is typically between $150 and $300. If it is a holiday, weekend, or the middle of the night, there might be a small after-hours premium. We do this to have our best crews ready for you at any hour.

The most common emergency service is tarping. We measure this by the square foot of the damaged area. In our region, emergency roof tarping costs between $2.50 and $5.00 per square foot. The final price depends on how steep your roof is, how hard it is to reach, and the size of the hole. A small, simple leak might cost a few hundred dollars to tarp. A large section of missing shingles will cost more.

The good news is, if storm damage caused your emergency, your homeowners insurance will often cover these stabilization costs. We work with all major insurance companies. We can help you document the damage for your claim. The temporary tarping is a vital first step that your adjuster will want to see. It prevents further damage, which is what your policy requires.

When to Pick Up the Phone Right Now

How do you know if you need to call us at (888) 509-1520 this minute? Use this simple guide.

Call an emergency roofer NOW if:

• Water is actively dripping or streaming inside your home.
• You see daylight through your roof from inside the attic.
• A large tree branch or other debris is lodged in your roof.
• Major shingle loss has exposed the underlayment over a big area.
• The roof structure looks saggy or bent.

It is likely safe to wait for normal business hours if:

• You see a few curled or minor missing shingles, but no leak.
• There is a small, slow drip in the attic that you can catch in a bucket.
• You notice granule loss in your gutters but no active damage.
• You have minor wind lift on shingle edges.

When in doubt, just call us. We would rather help you assess the situation over the phone than have you risk more damage.

Your Safety-First Checklist While You Wait For Us

Once you have called Nixon Emergency Roofing, here is what to do (and not do) until our truck arrives.

DO:

• Move furniture, rugs, and electronics away from the leak. Use buckets and towels to catch water.
• Turn off electricity to any wet light fixtures or rooms if you can do so safely from your breaker box.
• Take photos and videos of the damage inside and out from a safe distance. This helps with insurance.
• Keep your family and pets away from the affected area.

DO NOT:

• DO NOT climb onto your roof. A damaged or wet roof is extremely slippery and weak. It is not worth the risk of a fall.
• Do not try to make permanent repairs yourself.
• Do not use tarps or plastic sheeting in a way that traps moisture against the roof deck.

Our crews are trained and insured for this work. Let us handle the danger.

Navigating Nixon's Local Roofing Rules

Once the emergency is over, you will likely need a permanent repair. In Nixon, most major roof replacements require a building permit from the city. The rules are there to make sure the work meets Texas building codes for wind resistance. This is very important for our storm-prone area. We handle the permit process for you as part of our full repair service.

After the work is done, a city inspector will check it. They make sure the roofing underlayment, shingles, and flashing are all installed correctly. If your home is in a historic area or you have special materials, there might be extra rules. We know all the local requirements for Nixon, so you do not have to.

Sometimes, damage is so severe that a structural engineer needs to look at it. This is rare, but if roof rafters are broken or walls are leaning, we will tell you. Your insurance company may also send their own adjuster. We are happy to meet with them on-site to point out all the storm damage.
