Emergency Roof Repair in Chicago & the Suburbs

Storm damage, wind-torn shingles, a tree on the roof, or water coming through the ceiling. We stop the leak fast, protect your home, and handle the insurance paperwork.

Signs You Need Emergency Roof Repair

Small leaks become big repairs fast in Chicago weather. If you see any of these, call us before the next rain.

Water Coming Inside

Dripping from the ceiling, stains spreading on drywall, or wet insulation in the attic.

Missing or Torn Shingles

High winds can lift and tear shingles, exposing the underlayment and deck to rain.

Hail Damage

Dented vents and gutters, bruised shingles, and granules washing out of downspouts.

Fallen Tree or Limbs

Even a large branch can crack decking and puncture the roof. Don't wait on structural damage.

Flat Roof Ponding or Splits

Standing water, blistered membrane, or open seams on TPO, modified bitumen, or EPDM roofs.

Ice Dams & Winter Leaks

Ice backing up under shingles at the eaves is one of the most common winter leak sources in Chicagoland.

What to Do While You Wait

Safety first. Never climb onto a wet or damaged roof.

  1. Move furniture, electronics, and valuables away from the leak.
  2. Put a bucket or towels under drips. If water is pooling in a bulging ceiling, keep people clear of the area.
  3. Take photos of the damage inside and out from the ground. Your insurance company will want them.
  4. Call us at (312) 444-0240. We'll take it from there.

Emergency Roof Repair Questions

Straight answers to what homeowners ask us most after a storm.

Do you handle emergency roof leaks in Chicago?

Yes. If your roof is actively leaking after a storm, call us. We get a crew out as fast as possible to tarp or temporarily seal the area, stop water from coming in, and document the damage for your insurance claim.

Will my insurance pay for emergency roof repair?

In most cases, sudden damage from wind, hail, or a fallen tree is covered by homeowner's insurance, and emergency tarping is usually part of the claim. We photograph everything and work directly with your adjuster so nothing gets missed.

How much does an emergency roof tarp cost?

It depends on the size of the damaged area and roof pitch. We give you a clear price before we start, and when the damage is storm related, the cost is typically included in your insurance claim.

Should I go on the roof myself after a storm?

No. Wet or storm-damaged roofs are slippery and can have weakened decking. Stay inside, move valuables away from the leak, put a bucket under drips, and call a professional.

Do you repair flat and commercial roofs too?

Yes. We repair shingle, metal, TPO, modified bitumen, and EPDM roofs on homes and commercial buildings across Chicago and the suburbs.
