Emergency roof help in North Miami, any hour
Storm damage, roof sections left open and leaks in progress. Phone at any hour and describe what you see.
While the water is coming in
Stop the water first, repair second
After a storm or a sudden leak, the first task is keeping further water out: covering the exposed area or drying it in, so the house stays protected until a lasting repair can follow.
Severe weather can strip tile and shingles, pull flashing open and leave decking bare. Emergency work starts with those exposed areas and the active leaks; permanent repair or replacement comes once the roof is safe to work on and the damage is clear.
The phone line is open around the clock. When you call, tell us where the water appears, what the roof is made of and whether damage is visible from the ground.
Nobody should be on a roof in high wind or lightning. The first visit takes place as soon as conditions allow; until then, the steps below limit what happens inside the house.
What emergency work involves
- Bare roof areas covered or dried in
- Active leaks slowed or stopped where they start
- Loose or dangling material secured
- Permanent repair or replacement planned afterward
Before we get there
Steps to take in the meantime
A handful of simple moves keep the damage inside the house small.
Collect the drips
Set buckets or towels under the leaks and move furniture and electronics clear.
Keep off the roof
Wet tile and shingles are slick, and weakened decking can collapse underfoot.
Mind a bulging ceiling
A ceiling that sags or bulges may be holding water. Keep people from standing beneath it.
Photograph the damage
Take pictures from the ground and inside the house for your insurer.
Tell your insurer
Find out from your insurance company how storm claims are reported.
Avoid live wires
Stay clear of downed power lines and of any wiring near standing water.
Questions
Emergency call questions
Is the line open all night, too?
Yes, the line is open 24 hours a day, every day of the week. Call (786) 889-4090, describe the damage and we will explain what can be done and when.
Do emergency calls reach beyond North Miami itself?
Yes, across the communities on our list in northeast Miami-Dade: Golden Beach, Aventura and Ojus in the north, Sunny Isles Beach, Bal Harbour and Surfside along the beaches, and Miami Shores, El Portal and North Bay Village to the south. The service area page has the full list and a map.
Can the damaged section be covered?
Covering or drying in exposed sections is part of emergency work, so the house is protected until the permanent repair is made.
Is storm damage covered by my insurance?
It turns on your policy. Report the damage to your insurer; in Florida a roofing contractor is not a public adjuster and cannot negotiate the claim on your behalf.
What comes after the emergency visit?
When the roof is safe and the extent of damage is clear, we plan the permanent repair or replacement together with you.
Should I hold off calling until the storm is over?
Call whenever you can do so safely; you may report damage at any hour. Just do not climb onto a roof while the storm is still blowing.
What should I tell you on the phone?
Where the water is entering, what the roof is made of, about how old it is and whether damage shows from the ground. Photos taken from a safe spot are useful too.
Leaking at this moment?
Phone at any hour, say where the water is appearing and we will go through the next move together.
