Every hour a damaged roof sits exposed, the damage spreads. Water reaches the underlayment, soaks the sheathing, wets the insulation, and stains the ceiling. A $500 repair becomes a $5,000 repair. Girard Roofing & Maintenance's emergency crew stops the progression by tarping and sealing the same day you call.
Our emergency response follows a clear sequence. Step one: tarp the exposed area to stop water entry. Step two: remove immediate debris — branches, loose shingles, dislodged flashing. Step three: inspect the full extent of damage to the shingles, underlayment, roof deck, and flashing system. Step four: perform emergency patches where permanent repair isn't immediately possible.
Our Emergency Roof Repair Process
Emergency Call
Call (877) 586-1316 for immediate emergency dispatch. We prioritize based on severity — active water intrusion gets same-hour response. Our Girard crews are on standby during storm season.
Emergency Seal
Emergency tarping and sealing. We cover exposed sheathing, plug active leak points, and remove any debris that could cause additional damage. The goal is containment — stop the water, stabilize the damage.
Full Inspection
Full inspection of the damage zone and surrounding area. Storm damage often extends beyond the obvious — we check for loosened flashing, cracked shingles, and compromised sealant that may not be visible but will fail in the next storm.
Fix It Right
We schedule the permanent repair within days. Blown-off shingles replaced, damaged flashing rebuilt, compromised underlayment and sheathing replaced. The emergency patch holds while we source materials and schedule the crew for a full restoration.
