Emergency Roof Repairs

Emergency roof repairs is a repair that must be done immediately – not taking action means more damages will occur. Emergency roof repairs may be more expensive than a regular repair since roofing contractors are typically booked months in advance. A quick roof repair is sometimes not pleasing to the eye – it is done to protect the roof and home from further damage.

Not all roof issues constitute an emergency. If you have damaged shingles and no water infiltration then this is not an emergency and you would simply just have the local roofer give you an estimate for repairs.

The easiest and most cost-efficient and temporary fix is to cover the area with a  tarp. Make sure you get one that is large enough to cover the entire affected area and one that is meant to be used outdoors. Pull the tarp tightly down onto the roof and smooth it out. Nail down the edges and cover the nail heads with roofing cement. This will prevent rain from entering your home while you wait for the actual repair.

A Large Area of Missing Shingles Should be Addressed Right Away

If you notice missing shingles in large numbers then this can constitute an emergency roof repairs. An occasional shingle that is damaged or missing is not a big concern, although this should be addressed as soon as possible to prevent a bigger issue later on. If too many shingles are damaged or completely gone in one area then this can cause damage to the materials underneath.

Unattended Roof Leaks May cause further Damages

  • Mold and Mildew
  • Increased energy bills
  • Structural Damage

In the Long run Repairs Maybe More Costly than Replacement

It is important to remember that emergency roof repair can be more expensive.  Some roofers keep an open schedule, and they may be able to look at the damage within a day or two without extra charges.

My Florida roofing is an amazing company to deal with. The recently redid our roof from shingles to standing seem metal roof. It looks amazing. I got roughly about 10 quotes from the top roofers in Indian river county and they help educate me and showed me different options of material's for the new roof. Their team came in and stripped reroof the entire home in about week to do great weather. They strip and relapse before any rain could hit the exposed material. Rene and Maxine are such a pleasure to deal with. The are very upfront about everything and every detail that you speak with Rene about is backed up with written documentation so you know and see exactly what you are paying for. They also show and explain the different options to add on if you choose to. They are very quick to respond and answer any questions you may have in a timely matter. No doubt in my mind did I make the right decision going with My Florida Roofing. I recommend and would you use them again for any future projects. Again thank you Rene, Maxine and all of the team at My Florida Roofing for making a new roof process so quick and painless

The Reyes' were very friendly, accommodating and professional. Rene visited the site often to check on the work. The crew was professional friendly and efficient. We had our roof replaced, asphalt shingles to metal, almost a year ago now and still marvel at the look. The color matches perfectly with the house trim. I highly recommend MyFloridaRoofing.
