Emergency roof repair is about containment first, permanent fix second. We secure the exposed area with a tarp or emergency sealant to stop active water intrusion. Then we assess the full extent of damage and schedule the permanent repair. Saint Olaf Roofing & Maintenance has been responding to roof emergencies across Saint Olaf for 23 years.
Wind damage and hail damage look different. Wind lifts and tears shingles, exposing underlayment and sometimes bare roof deck. Hail cracks the granule coating and bruises the asphalt layer, weakening the shingle without removing it. Both need prompt attention — wind damage exposes you immediately, hail damage causes slow deterioration that leads to leaks within months.
Our Emergency Roof Repair Process
Emergency Call
You call, we respond. Tell us what happened and we'll have a crew headed your way. Active leaks and exposed deck get priority dispatch. We carry tarps, sealant, and repair materials on every truck.
Stop the Water
Emergency tarping and sealing. We cover exposed sheathing, plug active leak points, and remove any debris that could cause additional damage. The goal is containment — stop the water, stabilize the damage.
Full Inspection
Thorough damage assessment: how many shingles are missing or damaged, which flashing points failed, whether the underlayment is compromised, and whether the roof deck sheathing absorbed water. All documented with annotated photos for insurance.
Permanent Repair Scheduled
We schedule the permanent repair within days. Blown-off shingles replaced, damaged flashing rebuilt, compromised underlayment and sheathing replaced. The emergency patch holds while we source materials and schedule the crew for a full restoration.
