What Counts as a Roofing Emergency
Active leaks during a storm, a large tree limb or debris puncturing the roof, missing sections of roofing exposing the decking, and any damage letting water directly into the home are all situations that need an immediate response rather than a scheduled appointment.
Our 24/7 Emergency Response Process
When you call Dalton Roofing Co's emergency line, we assess the situation over the phone and dispatch a crew to stabilize the damage — typically with emergency tarping — as quickly as possible to prevent further interior water damage.
Temporary Protection vs. Permanent Repair
Emergency tarping is a temporary measure to stop water intrusion immediately; it is not the final repair. Once the immediate risk is controlled, we schedule the permanent repair or replacement based on the full extent of the damage.
After the Emergency — Insurance and Follow-Up
We document the emergency damage and temporary repair with photos, which supports your insurance claim if the damage is storm-related. We follow up to schedule permanent repairs once materials and scheduling allow.
