MONROE EMERGENCY ROOFING SERVICES

Yes, roof repairs may be completed while it is raining. Flat roofs are the exception, because water damage risks are higher. 

However, roofing in the rain requires additional safety precautions and quality roofers are familiar with emergency roof repairs. 

If only a small portion of your roof needs repairs, a roofer can fix only that section. However, if the damage affects 50% or more of the roof, it is best to re-roof the entire structure. 

An effective roofer has experience not only with roofing; they also know the insurance claims process. Sometimes, an insurance company is only willing to pay for a partial roof replacement on your storm damage claim. If this happens, your roofer fights for a claim supplement for a full roof replacement. 

Yes, you may temporarily fix a roof. However, it is generally not recommended for a business or homeowner to get on their roof, much less make repairs.

There are a couple of reasons why it is not advisable to DIY repairs.

1. First, you may fall off the roof and become severely injured.
2. Second, you could cause more roof damage if you do not know what you are doing (even walking on a roof can cause shingle damage).\
3. Finally, your insurer may refuse to cover your repairs or replacement unless a professional contractor completes the job.

A professional roofer is the best option for your roof repairs. Your contractor may apply temporary fixes to prevent further damage. However, give careful consideration to your contractor choices before selecting a roofer. Make sure the company you pick is licensed, insured, and has the qualifications and experience to do the job right the first time. 

Water leaking through the ceiling is a problem that should be quickly addressed. Unrepaired leaks and water damage are more than just an eyesore. In addition to stains, ceiling water damage may lead to mold growth and structural damage. 

If you find that your roof is leaking water from the ceiling:

• Address Water Leaks: To stop water leaks until a professional may fix the issue, consider placing a tarp over the problem area. Golden Roofing provides professional tarp-over services for property owners experiencing water leaks. Your insurance may cover the costs of preventative services. Call your insurance provider to find out what services your policy covers. 
• Use Waterproof Containers: Place waterproof containers underneath leaks to collect dripping water and stop moisture from damaging your furniture or other belongings. An old towel or t-shirt inside the bottom of the container keeps falling water from splashing out.
• Remove Furniture and Belongings: Move items away from the water leak. Drape a waterproof cover over the item if you cannot move it. If you don’t have tarps or plastic sheeting on hand, vinyl tablecloths, a deflated kiddie pool, waterproof tent, or vinyl shower curtain will do. 
• Soak Up Water: Use a mop, old towels, or a wet/dry vacuum to remove water from the floor. Mold or mildew may develop, or the flooring may warp if the water is not removed quickly. 
• Drain Water: Leaking water needs help draining downward to keep it from spreading across your ceiling. Place a container underneath the dark sport or paint bubble, and then poke a hole in the center to create a drainage hole. Don’t worry about putting a hole in the ceiling, that section already needs repairs. 
• Call Golden Roofing: Finally, call a trusted Monroe roofing company to address the leak and devise permanent solutions. The professionals at Golden Roofing are experienced with various types of roofs including asphalt shingle roof, slate roof, tile roof, metal roof, or a flat roof.
