Gillette, We Know Your Roof Can't Wait for Good Weather

Welcome to Gillette. You know our sky. It can go from a clear, sunny day over the South Gillette hills to a booming thunderstorm rolling off the Big Horns in what feels like minutes. When those heavy summer hailstorms hit or a wet, heavy snow piles up on your eaves, your roof takes the brunt of it. A small leak over your living room becomes a big problem fast. That is where we come in. At Gillette Emergency Roofing, we are the local team you call when you see water where it should not be. We are here 24/7 because roof damage does not stick to business hours. If you have a leak, a missing patch of shingles, or a tree branch on your roof, call (888) 509-1520 now for immediate dispatch. We will have a crew on the way, often within 60 to 120 minutes, to secure your home.

What Exactly Is Emergency Roof Repair?

Let us clear something up. Emergency roof repair is not the full, permanent fix. It is the critical first step—the stabilization. Think of it like a broken arm. You go to the ER to get a cast and stop the damage; you see a specialist later for full healing. For your roof, emergency repair means stopping the immediate threat. Our crew’s first job is to make your home safe and dry. This almost always means tarping. We secure heavy-duty tarps over damaged areas to stop water, wind, and debris from getting in. Only after your home is stable do we talk about the permanent repairs, like a full section replacement or a complete re-roof. This two-step process protects your home and your wallet.

Is This a Real Roofing Emergency?

Not every roof issue needs a 2 AM phone call. Knowing the difference keeps you safe and helps us prioritize true crises. Here is a simple guide.

Call us at (888) 509-1520 immediately for:

• Active Water Intrusion: Water is dripping, pouring, or soaking through your ceiling right now.
• Major Structural Damage: A large section of roof is sagging, or a tree limb has punctured the decking.
• Widespread Missing Shingles: A wind event on Eagle Ridge stripped a whole section down to the plywood.
• Severe Storm Damage: Hail the size of golf balls has left your shingles looking like they are bruised and granule-free.

It is safe to wait for normal business hours for:

• A few curled or cracked shingles.
• Minor leaks in an attic that only happen during days of heavy, driving rain.
• Simple moss growth or worn spots with no active leaking.

When in doubt, call. We would rather talk you through it than have you wake up to a collapsed ceiling.

How Gillette's Climate Wears on Your Roof

Our weather here is tough on roofs. It is not one thing, but the constant cycle. The intense summer sun near the Cam-Plex bakes asphalt shingles, making them brittle. Then, our famous sudden hailstorms pelt them. In winter, we get the deep cold and snow. This can lead to ice dams on homes in the North Heights, where heat escapes and melts snow, only for it to refreeze at the colder eaves, pushing water up under the shingles.

Many of the bungalows in the Old Town area have older, classic three-tab shingles that are more vulnerable. Newer builds in the Saddleridge subdivision often have modern architectural shingles, which are tougher but not indestructible. No matter your roof type—asphalt, metal, or the occasional historic wood shake—our weather has a plan to test it. This cycle shortens roof lifespans and makes prompt repair after damage even more critical to avoid rot, mold, and structural issues.

Understanding the Costs of Emergency Roof Care

We believe in transparency. Emergency services have different costs than a planned repair because of the urgency, after-hours labor, and immediate mobilization.

• Emergency Call-Out / Dispatch Fee: This covers the immediate mobilization of a crew and truck. For Gillette, this typically ranges from $150 to $300. This fee is for the emergency response, not the repair work itself.
• Roof Tarping Cost: Tarping is the core emergency service. We charge by the square foot of tarp needed, plus labor. For a standard section, you can expect between $400 and $800. A very large or complex tarping job on a steep roof will be more.
• After-Hours Premium: If we are called out between 7 PM and 7 AM on a weekday or anytime on a weekend or major holiday, there is a premium on the labor rate, usually 1.5x the standard rate.
• Insurance Claims: Here is the good news. Most emergency roof repair costs from storm damage are covered by homeowners insurance, minus your deductible. We can provide detailed documentation, photos, and reports for your adjuster. Important: Do not wait for the adjuster to call for emergency tarping. You have a duty to mitigate further damage. Secure the roof first, then file the claim.

Your Safety-First Checklist While You Wait for Our Crew

Once you have called us at (888) 509-1520, here is what to do and, more importantly, what NOT to do.

DO:

1. Move furniture, electronics, and valuables away from the leak area.
2. Place buckets or bins to catch water. Empty them often so they do not overflow.
3. If safe, poke a small hole in the center of a sagging ceiling bulge to relieve water pressure and prevent a catastrophic collapse.
4. Take clear photos and videos of the damage, both inside and out (from the ground).
5. Call your insurance company to start a claim if the cause is storm damage.

DO NOT:

1. DO NOT CLIMB ONTO YOUR ROOF. A damaged or wet roof is incredibly dangerous. You risk a severe fall or causing more damage.
2. Do not attempt to tarp it yourself from a ladder. The wind can catch the tarp and pull you off.
3. Do not ignore electrical safety. If water is near light fixtures or outlets, turn off the power to that area at the breaker box.

Let the professionals handle the roof. Your job is to stay safe and protect your home’s interior.

Navigating Local Gillette Rules and Next Steps

Once the emergency is past, the permanent repair begins. For most major repairs or full replacements in Gillette, you will need a building permit from the city. The process is straightforward. As your roofing contractor, we typically handle pulling the permit for you. It ensures the work meets the Wyoming and local building codes. After the work is complete, a city inspector will visit to verify it was done correctly. This protects you as a homeowner. If your damage is extensive and there are concerns about roof trusses or decking integrity, we may recommend involving a structural engineer before permanent repairs. This is rare but important for total safety.
