Emergency Roof Repair Orlando, FL
When you need emergency roof repair, Orlando weather rarely gives you a warning. A limb comes down or a storm peels back the shingles, and water is in the house. Our first job is to stop it. We cover the opening with a tarp or a temporary patch so your ceilings, floors and furniture stop getting wet. Once the roof is dry and we can see the full damage, we plan the permanent repair.
Call (407) 555-0199What counts as a roof emergency?
A roof emergency is any opening that lets water into the building right now: an active ceiling leak, a tree or limb through the roof, or shingles, tiles or decking torn off by wind. The fix is a fastened tarp first, then a permanent repair once the roof is dry.
When to Call for Emergency Roof Repairs
- Water is dripping or running through a ceiling
- A tree or large limb has landed on the roof
- Shingles, tiles or a section of decking blew off in a storm
- A ceiling is sagging or bulging with water
- You can see daylight from the attic
- A flat roof is holding deep water and leaking inside
What to do before we get there
Move furniture and electronics out from under the leak and put a bucket down. If the ceiling is bulging, poke a small hole at the lowest point so the water drains into the bucket and the drywall doesn't come down. Switch off the breaker for any light fixture that's taking water. Take photos. Stay off the roof, especially if it's wet or dark.
Emergency roof leak repair during a storm
Nobody can work safely on a roof in lightning or high wind, and Orlando gets plenty of both. If the storm is still going, we'll schedule you for the first safe window. Summer storms here usually pass within an hour or two, so that's often the same day.
How long a roof tarp lasts
A well-fastened tarp buys you weeks. It won't last months. The sun breaks down the plastic and the wind works the edges loose. Book the permanent repair while the tarp is still sound, and keep your tarping receipt in case your insurer asks for it.
Next steps for your roof
Once your roof is covered, the next step is a permanent fix. That's a roof leak repair if one part failed, or storm damage repair if wind or a tree did it. Don't wait on emergency roof repair. Orlando storms come back most afternoons, so call now and we'll get you covered.

Emergency Roof Repair questions
Do you offer emergency roofing services at night and on weekends?
Yes. We answer storm calls around the clock and send a crew as soon as it's safe to be on the roof.
How much does emergency roof tarping cost?
It depends on the size of the opening and how steep and high the roof is. We'll give you the price before the tarp goes on.
Will a tarp damage my roof?
Not if it's installed properly. We run boards along the edges and put fasteners where the repair will go anyway. Tarps weighed down with bricks or nailed at random are the ones that cause new leaks.
