Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifies as a roofing emergency?
Roofing emergencies include: active leaks during storms, large sections of missing shingles, tree damage, hail damage with exposed decking, or any situation where water can enter your home. If you're unsure, call us - we're here to help 24/7.
How quickly can you respond to emergencies?
Our emergency response team typically arrives within 2 hours of your call, often faster. We maintain crews on standby during severe weather events to ensure rapid response across Calgary and surrounding areas.
Do you work directly with insurance companies?
Yes! We document all damage thoroughly with photos and detailed reports. We can bill insurance companies directly and help guide you through the claims process, making a stressful situation as easy as possible.
What should I do before you arrive?
First, ensure everyone's safety. If possible, move valuables away from leak areas and place buckets to catch water. Take photos of the damage for insurance. Do NOT attempt to go on the roof yourself - wait for our professionals.
How much does emergency tarping cost?
Emergency tarping typically ranges from $500-$1,500 depending on roof size and damage extent. This is usually covered by insurance as damage mitigation. We provide detailed invoices for your claim.
