Active leak or storm damage?
Emergency Roof Repair Get matched with an emergency response pro — same day across the SGV.
When water is coming in or a section of roof has failed after a storm, you need help fast — not next week. SGV Roofs connects you with contractors in our network who provide same-day emergency response for active leaks, wind-stripped sections, fallen-debris damage, and structural failures. The matched contractor tarps and secures the roof immediately to stop further interior damage, then permanent repair is scheduled within the next few days. SGV Roofs is an independent referral resource — all emergency response is performed by independent, licensed California contractors.

Emergency Roof Repair — frequently asked
Is emergency response really same-day?+
Same-day response during business hours, yes. After-hours calls are scheduled for the next morning at the latest. The first action by the matched contractor is always tarp-and-secure to stop further water damage — permanent repair follows in the next few days.
How much does emergency roof repair cost?+
Tarp-and-secure emergency response in the SGV typically runs $300 to $800 depending on roof access and the size of the damaged area. The permanent repair that follows is quoted separately by the contractor.
Will my insurance cover this?+
If the damage is from a covered event (wind, storm, fallen tree, hail), insurance typically covers both the emergency mitigation and the permanent repair above your deductible. The matched contractor documents everything for your claim.
What should I do before the contractor arrives?+
If water is actively coming in, place buckets and move valuables out of the affected area. Do NOT climb on the roof yourself — wet or damaged roofing is one of the leading causes of homeowner injury. Take photos of any interior damage for your records.
How long does the tarp last?+
A properly installed emergency tarp holds for 30 to 60 days in normal weather. The permanent repair should be completed well within that window.
What if the damage is structural?+
If the matched contractor finds structural damage (broken rafters, collapsed sections), the scope shifts from repair to a structural assessment and rebuild. You'll be walked through the options before any permanent work begins.
Is commercial emergency roof repair handled too?+
Yes — flat-roof commercial emergencies are part of the same response. Larger commercial sites may require a larger crew and longer mitigation, but the same same-day-response standard applies.
