Emergency Roof Repair

What Happens After the Emergency Roof Repair?

Once your roof is stabilized, the real repair planning begins. At Home Pro Roofing, we don’t just stop the leak and disappear, we follow through with a complete post-emergency process to make sure your home is fully protected moving forward. Here’s what happens next:

• Follow-up roof inspection within 24 to 72 hours to assess all damage, including areas not visible during the initial emergency visit
• Detailed repair or replacement plan outlining materials, scope of work, timeline, and pricing, customized to your specific roof
• Permanent solution scheduling prioritized based on severity, weather forecasts, and crew availability
• Insurance coordination support to help you submit documentation and communicate with your adjuster if a claim is involved

Our goal is to make sure the problem is fixed for good, not just patched. You’ll never be left wondering what’s next or how much it’s going to cost.

Does Insurance Cover Emergency Roof Repairs?

If your roof was damaged by a storm, fallen tree, or high winds, there’s a good chance your homeowner’s insurance policy covers it. But the process isn’t always straightforward. That’s why we help homeowners across Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana document, understand, and navigate their claims. Here’s what you need to know:

• Covered Events: Most insurance policies include coverage for hail, wind, lightning, fallen trees, and ice dam damage
• Not Covered: Age-related wear and tear, poor maintenance, or pre-existing issues with the roof are typically excluded
• Emergency Tarping Reimbursement: Many insurers reimburse for temporary protection,  just save the invoice and photo proof
• We Work With Your Adjuster: Our team can meet on-site, provide photos, and supply written estimates to streamline your claim

Even if you’re unsure whether you’re covered, we can help you understand your policy and next steps. And if insurance won’t pay, we offer flexible options to keep you protected.

Should You Repair or Replace Your Damaged Roof?

In an emergency, we stop the immediate damage, but that doesn’t always mean the job is done. Some roofs can be restored with localized repairs, while others are too far gone for patchwork. At Home Pro Roofing, we assess each roof on a case-by-case basis, but here are key factors that guide the recommendation:

• Roof age: If your roof is over 15-20 years old, repairs may only delay the inevitable, a replacement might save money long-term
• Extent of damage: If more than 25% of the surface is compromised, insurers and building codes often recommend full replacement
• Shingle match: If your existing shingles are discontinued or severely faded, spot repairs may be visually or structurally problematic
• Decking condition: Water damage to the wood sheathing under the shingles typically requires tear-off to replace safely

We’ll give you the facts, not a sales pitch. If a repair will do the job, we’ll say so. If not, we’ll explain exactly why and help you weigh the costs.
