Emergency Roof Repair in Marietta, GA Around the Clock
When a tree comes through your roof at 11 pm or a storm rips off half your shingles, you don't need a sales pitch. You need someone in a truck, a tarp on the roof, and the water out of your living room. That's what emergency roof repair is, and we run it as a separate service across Marietta, GA and Cobb County so the calls actually get answered after hours.
Call (678) 720-3565 day or night. Same-day response across Cobb County. Tarp first, document, schedule the permanent repair around your insurance claim.
What Counts as an Emergency Roof Call
Tree on the roof
Pine trees in Cobb County are tall, top-heavy, and shallow-rooted. A storm comes through and one of them lands across the ridge. We coordinate with a tree service partner to remove it, then tarp the structural damage so the inside of your home is protected while you start the insurance process.
Storm-ripped shingles
High-wind events strip shingles off the leading edges of the roof. Sometimes that's a few tabs. Sometimes that's whole sections. Either way, water is going to get into the deck the next time it rains. We tarp same-day and quote the permanent repair when the storm passes.
Active interior leak during a multi-day storm
Water dripping into a bedroom while it's still raining outside. We can't always do permanent repair in the rain, but we can find the entry point, tarp it, and stop the water until we can do the real fix the next dry day.
Broken skylight or vent stack
A branch or hailstone takes out a skylight or vent. The room below is exposed to weather. We board over or temporary-flash the opening, then schedule the permanent unit replacement.
How Emergency Tarping Actually Works
A tarp isn't just a blue plastic sheet thrown on the roof and weighed down with bricks. A real emergency tarp is fastened with battens (1x2 lumber screwed through the tarp into the deck), oriented so water sheds down-slope, and large enough to overlap dry shingles by at least two feet on every side. Done right, a tarp holds 60 to 90 days, plenty of time to file an insurance claim and schedule the permanent repair.
Documenting for Insurance
Before we tarp, we photograph the damage from every angle, document the interior water damage, and note the storm date if known. After we tarp, we photograph the tarped roof. The full file goes to you for your insurance claim. Most homeowner policies cover sudden, accidental damage from storms or fallen trees, including the cost of emergency mitigation like tarping and tree removal.
What Emergency Roof Repair Costs in Cobb County
Emergency tarp service runs $400 to $1,200 depending on roof size, accessibility, and after-hours timing. The tarp cost is almost always covered by your homeowner's insurance under emergency mitigation. We provide the documentation and itemized invoice your carrier will need.
Permanent Repair After the Tarp
Once the home is secure and the insurance claim is filed, we plan the permanent repair around your settlement timeline. Sometimes it's a few squares of shingle replacement. Sometimes it's a full roof replacement. We'll tell you straight what's needed and quote both options if applicable.
