From your call to a new roof

What the crew does after you call

Five steps, in order.

  1. Secure the building

    We tarp the open areas, batten the edges and contain leaks inside.

  2. Assess and photograph

    Deck and insulation get inspected, and every layer is photographed for your insurance file.

  3. Tear off to the deck

    Everything comes off. Rotted decking and wet insulation get replaced.

  4. Install the new system

    TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen or built-up goes down with new flashing and drains set right. Choosing EPDM? See how a rubber roof replacement goes on.

  5. Clean up and walk it

    Debris comes down and the nails get magnet-swept. Then you walk the finished roof with us.

Past patching

What sends a roof to full replacement

None of these four can be patched.

  • Fallen tree or collapse

    Snapped decking, sometimes cracked joists. We check the structure before anyone steps on it.

  • Fire damage

    Charred deck, membrane melted into the insulation. None of it is reusable.

  • Storm or wind damage

    Membrane torn loose, flashing gone. Rain runs under what's left.

  • Active leaks and ponding water

    The insulation is saturated. It won't dry in place, and it rots the deck.

Damage limited to one corner? Then a targeted emergency repair may hold, and we'll say so.

Insurance claim and permits

Insurance paperwork and permits while the tarp holds

  • The insurance fileBefore tear-off, we document the damage: photos, measurements and a written scope. That's what your adjuster asks for, and it's gone once the old roof is.
  • The permitsWe pull the replacement permits while the building stays covered. Single-family homes, apartment buildings, mixed-use, retail stores and warehouses all go through the same process.

Emergency roof replacement FAQ

Three answers before the tear-off

Emergency roof replacement is priced by roof size, the system and how much deck comes out. Your free estimate lists the temporary protection on its own line. See what a full flat roof replacement runs and how to pay what insurance won't.

Once the adjuster has seen the roof and the permit is issued. The tarp keeps you dry until then.

Yes for tarping and leak containment. The new roof waits for a dry deck, because TPO seams won't weld and modified bitumen won't bond to wet surfaces.
