When the Skies Open Up Over De Pere, We're Here

You know the feeling. The sound of heavy rain turns into a steady drip inside your home on Westridge Drive. A windstorm whips through the neighborhood, and you spot shingles in your yard near the Fox River. De Pere's weather can be fierce, from summer thunderstorms rolling in off the bay to the heavy, wet snows that build up on your eaves in January. When your roof is compromised, every minute counts. That's why De Pere Emergency Roofing is on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you have water coming in, call (888) 509-1520 now for immediate dispatch. We specialize in stabilizing the situation fast, protecting your home and your peace of mind.

What Counts as a Real Roofing Emergency?

It's crucial to know the difference between a minor issue and a true crisis. An emergency roof repair is all about stabilization. It's the immediate action we take to stop further damage from happening right now. This is different from the permanent fix, which we schedule for normal business hours. A real emergency means active, ongoing damage to your home's interior or structure.

Call us immediately for:

• Active water leaking into your living spaces. That drip in the hallway or stain spreading on the ceiling needs fast action.
• A large section of roof missing after a storm. This leaves your attic and home completely exposed.
• Major structural damage, like a fallen tree limb that has pierced the roof deck.
• Severe wind damage that has peeled back roofing materials, creating a direct path for water.

Issues like a few curled shingles, minor granule loss, or a small leak contained to the attic that you can catch in a bucket can often wait for a regular appointment. When in doubt, call us. We can help you triage the situation over the phone.

How De Pere's Climate Tests Your Roof

Our local weather directly shapes the most common roofing problems we see. De Pere experiences the full range of Wisconsin seasons, and each one brings its own challenge.

Winter & Spring: The cycle of freezing and thawing is brutal. It creates ice dams along your gutters, especially on older bungalows in the Old Town area or homes with poor attic insulation. As snow melts and re-freezes, it pushes water up under your shingles, leading to leaks in walls and ceilings. The heavy, wet snowfalls of late winter also test the load limits of flat roof sections on garages and additions.

Summer & Fall: We get powerful thunderstorms with high winds and hail. Neighborhoods like Ashwaubenon or those on the outskirts near the I-41 corridor often bear the brunt of these straight-line winds. Hailstorms can bruise or crack asphalt shingles, compromising their lifespan. The high humidity can also accelerate rot on wood soffits and fascia, common on many of De Pere's charming older homes.

Most roofs here are asphalt shingle, but we also see a good number of metal roofs on newer builds in suburbs like Bellevue, and historic slate or wood shake on some of the city's treasured older properties. Each material reacts differently to our climate stresses.

Understanding the Costs of Emergency Roof Care

We believe in clear, upfront communication about costs. Emergency services involve after-hours labor and immediate mobilization, which factors into the price.

• Emergency Call-Out / Dispatch Fee: This covers our immediate response, day or night. For De Pere and the immediate surrounding areas, this typically ranges from $150 to $300. This fee is often waived if you proceed with the permanent repair through us.
• Emergency Tarping: This is our most common emergency service. We securely cover the damaged area with a heavy-duty, waterproof tarp to seal out the elements. Cost depends on the roof's size, pitch, and damage location. As a general guide, you can expect emergency roof tarping to start around $500 and go up based on the scope of work. It's a critical investment to prevent thousands in interior water damage.
• Insurance Claims: Most emergency roof damage from storms, wind, or hail is covered by homeowners insurance. We work directly with your adjuster. A key point: Emergency tarping and stabilization costs are almost always reimbursable as part of your claim, as they are deemed "reasonable steps to prevent further damage." Keep all receipts and notes.

When you call (888) 509-1520, we can often give you a rough estimate over the phone once we understand the problem.

When to Call a Pro vs. When to Wait

Making the right call can save you stress and money. Here's a simple guide for De Pere homeowners.

Call an Emergency Roofer NOW (Day or Night):

• You can see daylight through your roof from inside the attic.
• Water is actively dripping or flowing into any room you live in.
• A large section of shingles or roof decking is gone.
• There is a safety hazard, like loose or dangling roofing materials.

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

• Missing a few shingles with no apparent leak.
• A small, slow leak in the attic that is fully captured in a container.
• Scheduled maintenance or an upcoming insurance inspection for older storm damage.
• Granules in gutters or minor cosmetic issues.

Your Safety-First Checklist While You Wait for Our Crew

Your safety is the absolute priority. Our team typically reaches locations in De Pere within 60 to 120 minutes of your call. Here’s what to do until we arrive:

DO:

• Move furniture, rugs, and electronics away from the leak. Use buckets, pots, or bins to catch water.
• Place a towel on the floor to prevent slips.
• If safe to do so, go into the attic and place a bucket under the leak. Note the location.
• Take clear photos and videos of the damage, both inside and out (from the ground). This helps with insurance.
• Call your insurance company to start a claim if the damage is storm-related.

DO NOT (This is Critical):

• DO NOT climb onto your roof. A damaged or wet roof is extremely slippery and unstable. Falling is a severe risk.
• Do not attempt to plug holes or make repairs yourself. Improper fixes can cause more damage.
• Avoid touching sagging ceilings, as they may be holding water and could collapse.
• Do not use electrical appliances or lights near standing water.

Local Rules: De Pere Permits and Inspections

Once the emergency is stabilized, the permanent repair or replacement will follow. In De Pere, most major roof replacements require a building permit from the city. The good news is, as your local roofing experts, we handle this entire process for you. We pull the permits, ensure the work meets all Wisconsin building codes, and schedule the required inspections. This is a key reason to hire a local, licensed professional. For extensive structural damage, the city or your insurance company may require a report from a structural engineer, which we can also help coordinate.

Don't Face the Storm Alone

After the heavy hail in De Pere last spring, we helped dozens of families secure their homes before the next rain. Whether you're in a historic neighborhood near St. Norbert College or a newer development, a roofing emergency is stressful. You need a local partner who understands our weather, our homes, and the urgency of the moment.

De Pere Emergency Roofing is that partner. We provide calm, expert, and rapid response to get your home sealed and safe. The time to save your home from further damage is now.
