What's in the Truck
Every Emergency Repair Includes These Four Things
When your roof opens up mid-storm, we roll with tarps, plywood, and a crew that knows Morris County drainage patterns. No upselling. No trip fees.
- 24/7 dispatch from our Rockaway yard — we're on Green Pond Road inside 90 minutes

- No charge for the estimate or the tarp itself — you only pay for materials and labor to stop the leak
- We hand-write the contract on site, no fine print, no hidden trip fees
- We stay until the job is dry — even if that means a second trip at 2 a.m.
How We Fix Your Roof Fast
Our Emergency Roof Repair Process
When a storm hits Morris County, we show up same-day to secure your home. Here's how we handle emergency repairs from first call to final inspection.

- On-site assessment — Our foreman inspects the roof, attic, and interior for leaks. We take photos and explain what needs immediate tarping or patching versus a full replace.
- Free estimate and approval — We provide a written quote on the spot with no hidden fees. You approve the work, and we start right away.
- Emergency tarp or repair — We secure the damaged area with heavy-duty tarps or install temporary shingles using GAF or CertainTeed materials. All work meets NJ code standards.
- Final inspection and documentation — We walk the property with you, confirm the repair is watertight, and leave a detailed report for your insurance claim. Our license number (13VH08923400) is on every contract.

Quick Answers for Urgent Repairs
Emergency Roof Repair FAQs
When a storm hits or a tree comes down, you need straight answers fast. Here's what Morris County homeowners ask us most — no fluff, just facts from a crew that's been on your streets since 2011.
How fast can you get to my house in Rockaway?
We're based at 20 E Main St, so we're usually on-site within 60 minutes for emergency calls in Morris County. We've had crews on Green Pond Road within 45 minutes during a nor'easter. Call (973) 636-4945 and we'll give you an exact ETA.
What does emergency tarping cost?
Pricing depends on the size and slope, but a typical residential tarp job runs $200 to $600. We'll give you a firm price over the phone before we roll — no surprise charges. If the repair is covered by insurance, we can often defer billing until your claim is approved.
Can I fix a leak myself to save money?
We've seen DIY patches that turned a small leak into a $5,000 interior water damage bill. A temporary tarp from us buys you time, but a permanent fix needs factory-certified installation — we're certified for Malarkey, CertainTeed, and GAF. Plus, our work carries a 50-year transferable warranty on select shingles. You don't get that from a tube of caulk.
Do you work with insurance companies?
Yes, we help you file the claim and we inspect with the adjuster. We've handled hundreds of storm claims in Morris County — including the 2021 microburst on Route 15. We'll document everything so you get paid for what's actually damaged. We're licensed (NJ HIC #13VH08923400), insured, and bonded since 2011.
What if the leak happens on a weekend or holiday?
We answer 24/7. Call (973) 636-4945 any time. We don't charge holiday rates for emergency calls — same honest pricing, same fast response. Our trucks are stocked with Malarkey and GAF materials so we can start the permanent repair the next day.
Will a temporary repair hold through another storm?
A properly installed tarp with ice-and-water shield underneath will hold through most nor'easters. We use 6-mil poly and 2x4 furring strips screwed into the deck — not staples. That setup held on a 2019 tear-off on Green Pond Road through three nor'easters. But we always recommend a permanent fix within 30 days to avoid code violations.
How do I know if I need a full replacement or just a repair?
We do a free inspection first. If the damage is localized — say, one section of shingles blown off — we can match your existing CertainTeed or Owens Corning shingles and do a spot repair. If the deck is rotted or the leak has spread across multiple slopes, replacement is safer and more cost-effective. We've done both on the same street in Rockaway. We'll tell you straight which one makes sense for your roof.
