What counts as a roofing emergency?
Active leaking into the home, storm or wind damage that opened the roof, a fallen tree or limb, or missing shingles ahead of incoming weather. If water is coming in at your Union City home, don't wait — damage compounds by the hour.
Does homeowners insurance pay for emergency tarping?
Storm-related emergency work — including tarping — is commonly covered, and insurers generally expect you to prevent further damage. We document everything and assist Union City homeowners with the claim paperwork at no charge.
How do I limit damage before you arrive?
Move belongings away from the leak, catch water in containers, and puncture sagging ceiling bubbles with a screwdriver over a bucket to prevent collapse. Do not get on the roof — wet roofs are dangerous, and our crew is minutes away.
