When a Storm Hits Richfield, We Are Your Emergency Roofing Lifeline

Living in Richfield, Wisconsin, means enjoying beautiful seasons. It also means preparing for the sudden storms that can roll off Lake Michigan. Last spring's heavy hail in the Heartland Creek area showed us just how fast a sunny day can turn into a roofing crisis. If you hear that worrying drip, drip, drip in the middle of the night or see daylight through your ceiling, you need help fast. That’s where we come in. Richfield Emergency Roofing is your local, 24/7 team ready to secure your home, rain or shine.

What Is a True Roofing Emergency?

Not every roof issue needs a midnight call. But some absolutely do. Emergency roof repair is about stabilization and safety, not the final fix. Our first goal is to stop further damage right now. We do this with strong tarps, water extraction, and temporary seals. The permanent repair comes later, often once insurance has been involved.

A real emergency is when your home's safety is at risk. This includes:

• A large tree limb or tree has crashed through your roof.
• You have a major, active leak pouring into a living space or over electrical fixtures.
• A section of your roof has collapsed or sagged badly.
• Severe wind has ripped off a large patch of shingles, exposing the decking.
• After a heavy snow, you see signs of an ice dam causing water to back up under shingles.

If you see any of these, it's time to call a pro.

Richfield's Climate and Your Roof

Our local weather directly shapes how long a roof lasts and what problems it might face. Richfield deals with humid summers that can bake asphalt shingles on south-facing slopes. Our tough winters bring heavy snow loads and the risk of ice dams, especially on older homes in neighborhoods like Timber Creek or along the Pebble Creek corridors.

Many classic Richfield bungalows and ranch-style homes use asphalt shingles, which can be vulnerable to hail. Newer builds in areas like the Northern Pines development often feature durable metal roofing, which handles snow shed well but can still suffer from wind-driven debris. No matter your material, the combination of freeze-thaw cycles, summer storms, and seasonal humidity means regular inspections are key.

Understanding the Costs of Emergency Roof Care

We believe in clear, upfront communication about cost. Emergency services involve after-hours work and rapid response, so there are different fees than a scheduled repair.

• Call-Out / Dispatch Fee: This covers our immediate mobilization and is typically a flat fee. It ensures a crew heads your way.
• Emergency Tarping: The cost for this crucial service depends on the size of the damaged area. We price it per square foot to cover the tarp material, fasteners, and labor to secure it properly against the wind.
• After-Hours Premium: Work done overnight, on weekends, or on holidays may have a higher labor rate due to the urgency and off-hours scheduling.

The good news? Most emergency stabilization costs—like tarping and water removal—are often covered by homeowners insurance when related to a sudden event like a storm. We can help guide you through that process and provide documentation for your claim.

When to Call vs. When to Wait

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

Call a pro immediately (day or night) if:

• Water is actively pouring into your home.
• You see any sagging or structural compromise in the roof or ceiling.
• There is a large, open hole from wind, a fallen tree, or other impact.
• It is currently storming, and damage is worsening.

It may be safe to wait for normal business hours if:

• You have a small, slow drip into a bucket.
• You notice a few missing shingles but no exposed wood.
• You see minor gutter damage with no roof deck exposure.

When in doubt, give us a call. We can help you triage the situation over the phone.

Your Safety-First Checklist While You Wait

Your safety is the most important thing. Please follow these steps after you call us.

DO:

• Move valuables and furniture out of the way of any leaks.
• Place buckets or containers under active drips.
• Use towels to soak up water on the floor to prevent slips.
• Turn off electricity to any affected rooms if it is safe to do so.
• Take photos of the damage for your insurance company.

DO NOT:

• Do not climb onto a damaged or wet roof. It is extremely dangerous.
• Do not attempt permanent repairs yourself.
• Avoid poking or probing sagging ceilings, as they could collapse.

If the situation seems structurally unsafe, evacuate the area and call 911.

Richfield Rules for Roof Repairs

Once the emergency is stabilized, you'll need to plan for permanent repairs or a full replacement. In Richfield, most major roof work requires a building permit from the city. The process ensures the work meets local codes for wind and snow loads, which is crucial here. We handle the permit paperwork for our clients. After the work is done, a city inspector will visit to make sure everything is up to standard. If your damage is covered by insurance, an adjuster will also need to assess it. We can coordinate with all necessary parties to make the process smooth.
