Emergency Roofing Services

Has your roof started leaking after a storm or hurricane? Roofing & Siding of Cape Cod will perform emergency repairs in a short time. Our specialists will assess the damage and develop a roof restoration plan. This could be a temporary solution, such as a tarp patch, or a complete replacement of the structure.

We assist with insurance claims by providing a detailed damage report with photographs.

When Emergency Roof Repairs Are Needed

Cape Cod is known for strong winds and storms. Bad weather, heavy snowfall, and rain often cause serious roof damage. To keep your home safe and comfortable, these damages must be addressed promptly.

A team of specialists will arrive at your location, inspect the roof, and quickly repair any damage caused by:

Falling trees or branches. Mechanical impacts can damage shingles and the roof structure, resulting in holes or partial collapse.
Water leaks. If water regularly enters the roof space, mold can form on walls and ceilings, and materials may warp or rot, leading to costly unplanned repairs.
Severe storms. Extreme weather conditions—including strong winds, hail, heavy rain, tornadoes, and hurricanes—can severely damage a roof. An urgent inspection and repair will help protect the home from further destruction.

Emergency repairs take 3 to 7 days, depending on the extent of the damage and the scope of work required.

Contact Roofing & Siding of Cape Cod immediately after a storm or at the first sign of a roof leak. This will help preserve the structure of your home and ensure you receive assistance as soon as possible.

Four Signs That Emergency Repairs Are Necessary

Pay attention to the condition of your roof:

Visible leaks. If water drips from the ceiling or accumulates in the attic, do not wait. Call a team of specialists immediately to prevent mold, rot, and material deterioration.
Missing or damaged shingles (curled edges, loose sections). Even minor deformations allow water to seep in, compromising both the roof’s integrity and the internal materials.
Cracking. Over time, asphalt shingles dry out, crack, and lose their protective layer. Significant damage requires immediate attention.
Debris in the gutters. Strong winds often clog gutters, causing water to overflow and accumulate under the roof.

Most Common Causes of Roof Damage

Houses in Cape Cod are most commonly damaged due to:

Wind. Strong gusts during storms or hurricanes can tear off shingles, expose the roof sheathing, and even leave the attic unprotected.
Trees. Branches can scrape against the roof, fall onto it, and cause structural damage.
Fire. Roofing materials can be damaged from both inside and outside due to fire.
Pests. Rodents and other animals may chew through the roof to enter the home.
Natural wear and tear. All roofing materials have a lifespan and deteriorate over time due to wind, rain, and UV exposure.
Water. Ice buildup can cause roofing materials to crack, allowing water to seep into the roof space.
Poor installation and lack of maintenance. Any installation error or maintenance neglect can lead to an emergency situation.

What to Do If Your Roof Is Damaged

Every homeowner should follow these guidelines:

Do not climb onto the damaged roof. It is dangerous. Wait for a professional roofer with the proper safety equipment.
Stay calm. The damage has already occurred, so the best course of action is to remain calm and wait for help.
Protect the interior. If possible, cover damaged areas with plastic sheeting or a tarp to prevent leaks and minimize risks. Move valuable belongings to a safe place.
Assess the damage without climbing onto the roof. Use drones or other tools to inspect the area safely.
Ensure the home is not at risk of further collapse. If necessary, relocate your family to a safe location.

Answers to the Most Popular Questions

We have gathered the most frequently asked questions from our clients.

My roof is leaking. Does this mean it needs to be replaced?

Not necessarily. A leak indicates that there is a breach in the roof’s sealing. If we find and repair the area where the seal has been compromised, water will stop entering the roof space. However, a full inspection is necessary to assess the extent of the damage.

We recommend not delaying emergency repairs—otherwise, mold may develop, and materials could warp or rot. This will require more extensive restoration work and higher costs.

Should I contact my insurance company if we had a storm?

First, we recommend inspecting your roof for damage. After that, you can file an insurance claim for compensation.

We conduct a comprehensive inspection of the entire home to identify all damages, including hidden ones. With our extensive experience working with insurance companies, we ensure that all necessary documentation is correctly prepared, helping to speed up the claims process as much as possible. This means you receive both quality repair work and a quick reimbursement for damages.

A storm hit, and now my roof is leaking. Should I climb up and cover it with a tarp?

Climbing onto a damaged roof is dangerous. We strongly advise against it. Instead, call us and leave the job to professionals.

Our specialists can handle this task quickly and safely. Consulting with one of our experts can also help you get your insurance payout faster.

What if it’s nighttime and I need emergency repair help?

If the damage occurs at night, we recommend staying with neighbors or relatives for safety. In the morning, contact us immediately, and our emergency team will arrive as soon as possible.

We will perform a full inspection and provide a detailed damage report. Then, we will discuss the best repair options to restore your roof efficiently.

What if my roof cannot be repaired?

Sometimes, the roof is too severely damaged for repairs to be an option. In this case, we recommend a full roof system replacement.

Our design team will propose the best solution in terms of materials, cost, and project completion speed.
