We are your local team, ready 24 hours a day to protect your home. Call (888) 509-1520 now for immediate dispatch. We understand the worry and rush to get your home sealed up and safe again.

What Is Emergency Roofing?

Emergency roofing isn't about the final, beautiful fix right away. Think of it like first aid for your home. The main goal is stabilization—to stop the damage from getting worse until a full repair can be scheduled. This usually means getting a heavy-duty tarp securely fastened over the damaged area to block rain, snow, and wind. It might also involve removing dangerous, loose debris or setting up temporary supports. After the heavy hail in Bothell last spring, we saw many homeowners who just needed that quick cover to save their ceilings and floors from costly water damage. The permanent repair comes later, once the weather clears and we can do a proper, long-lasting job.

When Is It a Real Roofing Emergency?

Not every roof issue needs a midnight call. But some situations can't wait for normal business hours. Here is when you should pick up the phone right away:

• A large, active leak is dripping into your living space, especially near electrical fixtures or walls.
• You have a hole in your roof you can see from the ground or attic.
• A tree limb has punctured or is resting heavily on your roof.
• A section of shingles or flashing is completely missing after a storm.
• There is sagging or a noticeable dip in your roofline, which could mean structural trouble.
• Major wind has lifted or torn off a significant portion of your roofing material.

In neighborhoods near the University of Washington Bothell campus, older wood shingle roofs often face challenges from our damp climate. If you see daylight through your roof boards, that's a clear sign to call for emergency help.

How Bothell's Weather Wears on Your Roof

Our climate here in Western Washington is tough on roofs. It's not just the famous rain. Our winters can bring ice dams along the eaves, especially on homes in the hilly areas of Thrasher's Corner. Ice dams trap melting snow, forcing water back up under the shingles and into your home. Our humid springs and summers encourage moss growth on north-facing slopes, which can degrade asphalt shingles over time. And while we don't get tornadoes, our fall and winter windstorms can be fierce, testing the seals on even the newest metal roofs in communities like Silverlake.

Common local materials include asphalt shingles, which are popular for their cost and look, and durable metal roofing, which handles our wet weather well. No matter what your roof is made of, our constant moisture means small problems can become big leaks faster than in drier parts of the country.

What Does Emergency Roof Help Cost in Bothell?

We believe in being upfront about costs. Emergency service involves extra effort, so there are typically two parts to the bill.

First, there is often an emergency call-out fee. This covers our team's immediate mobilization, day or night. For Bothell, this fee generally ranges from $150 to $300, depending on the time.

The main cost is for the emergency roof tarping and stabilization work. We charge by the square foot of tarp needed and the complexity of the job. Securing a tarp on a steep, two-story roof in downtown Bothell is more involved than on a single-story home. On average, homeowners in our area can expect tarping costs to range from $400 to $800, sometimes more for very large areas.

A key point: This emergency service is often covered by your homeowner's insurance, especially if it's storm-related. We work directly with you and your insurance company to document the damage and make the claims process smoother. Our initial emergency visit provides the proof and temporary protection your insurer requires.

When to Call a Pro vs. When You Can Wait

How do you decide if it's an emergency? Use this simple guide.

Call an Emergency Roofer Immediately If:

• Water is actively pouring or streaming inside.
• You have significant structural damage (like a large hole or sagging).
• A storm is currently happening or forecast within hours, and your roof is compromised.

It Might Be Safe to Wait for Normal Hours If:

• The leak is very slow—just a occasional drip into a bucket.
• The damage is minor and cosmetic, like a few curled shingles with no leak.
• The weather forecast is clear and dry for the next 48 hours.

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

Your Safety-First Checklist While You Wait

Once you've called Bothell Emergency Roofing at (888) 509-1520, here is what to do and, just as importantly, what NOT to do.

DO:

• Move furniture, rugs, and electronics away from the leak.
• Place buckets or bins to catch water.
• Use towels to soak up water on the floor to prevent slipping.
• Turn off electricity to the affected area if water is near lights or outlets.
• Take photos and videos of the damage for your insurance claim.

DO NOT:

• Do not climb onto your damaged or wet roof. It is extremely dangerous. The surface is slippery, and the structure may be weak.
• Do not try to patch the roof yourself with makeshift materials.
• Do not ignore water near electrical panels or wiring.

Our team will typically be on-site within 60 to 120 minutes of your call, depending on the severity of storms in the wider Bothell area. We come prepared with tarps, tools, and lights to secure your home safely.

Local Rules for Bothell Roof Repairs

Once the emergency is handled, you'll need a permanent repair or replacement. In Bothell, most major roof replacements require a building permit from the city. This ensures the work meets local codes for wind uplift and weather protection. The process involves an inspection during the job and a final inspection when we are done. For extensive storm damage, your insurance company will likely send an adjuster to assess it. In rare cases of severe structural damage, a structural engineer's report may be needed. We guide you through all these steps, handling the permit paperwork and coordinating with inspectors to make the process stress-free.
