About Our Emergency Roof Repair Service
In an emergency the priority order is simple: stop the water, protect the interior, document everything, then repair correctly. We tarp and secure the same visit, take moisture readings inside, and photograph the failure from the roof and attic so your insurer sees the cause and not just the ceiling stain.
Best For
Active interior leaks during rain; storm and Santa Ana wind damage; blown-off tile or shingle; fallen tree limbs; commercial buildings that cannot close for water intrusion.
Our Process
Call and we dispatch. On arrival we stabilize the roof with tarping or temporary membrane, contain interior water, take photos and moisture readings, then issue a written repair scope — usually within 24 hours of the visit.
Warranty
Emergency stabilization is warrantied to hold through the storm season, and the permanent repair carries our standard written workmanship warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer 24/7 emergency roof repair in San Diego?
Yes — call (424) 777-1619 any hour. We respond 24/7 across San Diego County for active leaks, storm damage, and emergency tarping, from La Jolla and Pacific Beach to Poway, Ramona, and Rancho Santa Fe.
How much does emergency roof tarping cost?
Emergency tarping typically runs $500–$1,500 depending on roof size, pitch, and access. The cost is credited toward the permanent repair when we complete the work.
What should I do while waiting for a roofer?
Move valuables, put buckets under active drips, and puncture a small hole in any bulging ceiling to relieve trapped water into a container. Do not climb a wet roof — we handle that.
Will insurance cover emergency roof repair?
Storm, wind, and impact damage is usually covered; wear-and-tear is not. We photograph the cause, provide a written line-item scope, and work directly with your adjuster to support the claim.
How quickly can you get to my property?
Response time depends on weather load and location, but we prioritize active interior leaks and typically arrive same day within San Diego County.
Can you handle commercial emergency roofing?
Yes. We stabilize TPO, PVC, torch down, and built-up commercial roofs, including seam failures, drain backups, and parapet breaches, so the building can stay open.
Do you work during heavy rain?
Yes, for stabilization. Permanent repairs need a dry surface to bond properly, so we tarp first and return to complete the repair once conditions allow.
Is emergency service more expensive?
After-hours dispatch carries a modest premium, which we state before we roll a truck. The permanent repair is priced at our standard fixed rates.
