List of Services
-
1. Hazards before anything elseList Item 1
Downed power lines, water near a panel or a light fixture, limbs resting on the roof or hung up in trees. Keep everyone away from all of it.
-
2. Cut power to wet fixturesList Item 2
If water is anywhere near a ceiling light, fan, or the furnace closet, flip that breaker at the panel.
-
3. Contain what you canList Item 3
Buckets under the drips, towels at the edges, plastic sheeting over furniture and electronics. Move what is easy to move.
-
4. Drain a bulging ceilingList Item 4
A drywall bulge holding water gets one small hole through the center with a screwdriver and a bucket underneath. It feels like making it worse. It stops the whole section from letting go at once.
-
5. Stay off the roof
Especially in wind, especially at night, especially in the rain. Nothing you can do up there is worth what can happen. That includes not climbing up to fix a tarp.
-
6. Photograph everything before you cover anything
Wide shots and close ups, inside and out. Timestamps matter later.
What Counts as an Emergency
We would rather tell you to wait until Tuesday than sell you an after-hours visit you did not need. Emergency pricing is for genuine emergencies.
Call now:
- Water actively coming into the house
- A section of roof missing, lifted, or visibly open to the sky
- A tree or large limb on the roof
- Storm debris that has punctured the roof
- A previous tarp that has come loose or blown off
- Any sagging in a ceiling or a visible dip in the roofline
- Metal panels lifted or peeled on a shop or outbuilding, where the next gust will take more
This can wait for a normal appointment:
- Shingles in the yard with no sign of water inside
- A few lifted or creased tabs
- A displaced ridge cap
- Damaged gutters or downspouts
- Dented vent caps or soft metals
- Hail damage with no active leak
That second list still needs attention, and soon, because an open seal is an invitation to the next storm. It just does not need attention at eleven at night at emergency rates. Book those through roof repair or a storm damage inspection.
What We Do When We Get There
Stabilize first, diagnose second. The immediate job is stopping water from entering. Assessment of what caused it and what it will take to fix properly comes after the house is dry.
Wind-anchored tarping. This is where most emergency tarps in this valley fail. A tarp weighted down with boards or sandbags is a tarp that leaves during the next front, usually taking some shingles with it and sometimes making the opening larger than it started. We anchor into sound framing, wrap and secure the edges, and run the tarp well past the damaged area on all sides so wind has no edge to lift. Then we build it to survive a storm cycle rather than a night.
Peel-and-stick dry-in for larger openings. When a tarp is not the right tool, self-adhered membrane goes directly onto the deck. It seals to the surface, it does not flap, and it holds for weeks while a permanent repair gets scheduled and the weather cooperates.
Interior protection. Where it helps, we will get plastic over what is in the water's path and set up containment so the damage stops spreading through the ceiling and into the floor below.
Documentation as we go. Photographs before the tarp goes on, during, and after. This matters because a tarp hides the damage it is covering, and an adjuster arriving next week needs to see what was underneath.
What we will not do: work on a roof during active lightning or in dangerous wind. If conditions make it unsafe, we will tell you that plainly, help you set up the best interior containment possible, and go up the moment it is survivable. A contractor who claims otherwise is either lying or is going to get someone hurt on your property.
What Emergency Roof Repair Costs
Typical Tooele County market ranges; estimates only. The emergency rate applies to the emergency visit — the permanent repair afterward is quoted at normal rates. Most policies reimburse reasonable emergency mitigation, so keep every receipt, including anything you buy yourself.
How we handle emergency pricing. The emergency rate applies to the emergency visit. The permanent repair afterward gets quoted at normal rates, because charging a crisis premium on planned work is taking advantage of a bad night. Most policies also reimburse reasonable emergency mitigation, so keep every receipt including anything you buy yourself.
"The emergency rate covers the emergency. The repair afterward is priced like any other Tuesday."
After the Emergency
The tarp is a bridge, not a repair. Here is what follows:
Within a day or two: the documented inspection. Once the house is dry we come back and do the full assessment, with dated photographs by slope, so you know the actual scope rather than just the emergency.
Then the decision. Repair or replace, file a claim or pay out of pocket. We will run the deductible arithmetic with you before you file anything. The full explanation of how claims work is on our [storm damage page →
/storm-damage-roof-repair-tooele
].
Then the permanent work. Scheduled at standard rates, with the tarp staying put until it happens. If your claim is approved, we can supply the documentation the adjuster needs, including supplement support when the initial scope missed something.
One thing worth knowing about timing. After a countywide storm event everyone calls at once, and every roofing company in the valley goes to a triage queue. Active water intrusion gets prioritized over a missing ridge cap, and we will tell you honestly where you sit rather than promising a window we cannot hold.
