Your Trusted Local Roofing Partner When the Unexpected Hits

If you live in Markesan, you know our Wisconsin weather can turn on a dime. One minute it’s sunny over the Lake Winnebago region, and the next, a summer thunderstorm barrels in with hail the size of golf balls. Or, we get that heavy, wet snowfall in January that piles up and threatens to cause ice dams on older colonials in neighborhoods like the Village Center or along County Road A. When a tree limb crashes through your roof or water starts dripping onto your living room floor, you need help fast. That’s where we come in. Markesan Emergency Roofing is your local, 24/7 crew, ready to respond day or night to secure your home. We’re the calm, expert voice on the other end of the line when you need it most.

What Exactly Is Emergency Roofing?

Let’s clear something up. Emergency roofing isn’t the full, permanent repair. Think of it as first aid for your roof. The goal is stabilization. Our first job is to stop the problem from getting worse and prevent more damage to the inside of your Markesan home. This usually means we come out, assess the damage from the ground and safely from a ladder, and then apply a waterproof barrier—most often a heavy-duty tarp secured with wood battens. This temporary fix shields your home from rain, snow, and pests until we can schedule the permanent repair. A real emergency means active, immediate danger to your home’s structure or interior. A few missing shingles after a calm day? Probably not an emergency. A large hole from a fallen branch, a major leak pouring into a bedroom, or significant sections of roofing torn off by wind? That’s when you call for emergency help.

How Markesan’s Climate Tests Your Roof

Our roofs here work hard year-round. The humid summers can bake asphalt shingles on south-facing slopes, making them brittle over time. Our fierce winter freeze-thaw cycles are the main culprit behind ice dams, especially on homes with older attic insulation in areas like Spring Grove or out towards the Fox River. That ice buildup can push water right up under your shingles. And let’s not forget the straight-line winds that can whip across the fields during our summer storms, testing the seal on every vent and flashing. Many of the charming bungalows and Cape Cods in Markesan have traditional asphalt shingle roofs, which are great but need vigilance. We also see beautiful metal roofs on newer builds and farms, which handle snow shed well but can be vulnerable at seams during extreme weather. Knowing these local challenges helps us diagnose and fix problems faster.

Understanding the Costs of Emergency Service

We believe in being upfront. Emergency services come with different costs than a standard business-hour repair because we have crews on call 24/7, ready to roll. There’s typically an emergency call-out or dispatch fee to get our truck to your home, which covers the immediate response. If it’s the middle of the night, a weekend, or a holiday, there may be an after-hours premium for the labor. The most common emergency service is roof tarping. The cost for tarping depends on the size of the damaged area, the pitch of your roof, and how difficult it is to access. We price it fairly by the “square” (a 10x10 foot area). The good news? If the damage is from a covered event like a storm, your homeowner’s insurance will often cover these emergency stabilization costs. We work with you to document everything thoroughly for your claim. The temporary repair cost is part of getting your home safe and starting the claims process on the right foot.

When to Call a Pro Immediately vs. When to Wait

How do you know if it’s a true emergency? Here’s a simple triage guide for Markesan homeowners. Call us immediately at (888) 509-1520 if you see: Active water pouring or steadily dripping into your living space, a large visible hole or gap in your roof, or significant sections of roofing material (like many shingles or metal panels) missing after a storm. Also, if a tree or large limb has penetrated your roof, that’s an immediate call. It’s probably safe to wait for normal business hours for things like a few curled or missing shingles with no leak, minor granules in gutters after hail, or a small, slow leak in an attic that you can catch with a bucket. When in doubt, call us. We’d rather help you assess it over the phone than have you risk further damage.

Your Safety-First Checklist While You Wait

Once you’ve called Markesan Emergency Roofing, here’s what to do (and NOT do) until our crew arrives, usually within 60 to 120 minutes in the Markesan area: Move valuables and furniture away from the leak. Place buckets or bins to catch water. If it’s safe to do so, turn off electricity to the affected room or area from your breaker box. What you should NOT do is just as important: Do not, under any circumstances, climb onto your roof. A damaged or wet roof is extremely slippery and unstable. Don’t try to patch it yourself from a ladder. Don’t pull on hanging or damaged materials. Your safety is our top priority. Let the professionals handle it.

Navigating Local Rules and Insurance

For the permanent repair, Markesan and Green Lake County have building codes to ensure quality. A full roof replacement will require a permit from the city. As your local roofer, we handle that process for you. The city inspector will check that the work meets code for things like proper underlayment and fastening, especially important for our wind and snow loads. If your damage is extensive, your insurance company will send an adjuster. We can meet them on-site to ensure all damage is noted. In rare cases of severe structural concern, we may recommend involving a structural engineer. Our goal is to guide you smoothly from the emergency patch to the final, permitted repair that will protect your home for years.

You Don’t Have to Face a Roofing Crisis Alone
