Call (267) 827-1752Note 01What if a roofer has left my roof open?
Get it dried in today. A stripped roof left open overnight is an emergency in its own right: it is tarped, lapped and weighted now, and who finishes the job can be settled in daylight.
Note 02Is a tarp a permanent fix?
No. A tarp, properly lapped and weighted, holds for days or a few weeks, not a season. It is there to stop the water until a dry day lets the roof be opened and repaired properly.
Note 03How much is an emergency roof repair?
Temporary cover is quoted on its own, on the call, and the permanent repair after it is estimated at $300 to $3,000 for most roofs, the same band as any other repair. The two are kept separate so nothing big is decided while water is coming in.
