When disaster strikes your East Bay roof, every minute counts. East Bay Roofers provides true 24/7 emergency roof repair with guaranteed 45-60 minute response times across all 37 cities we serve in Contra Costa, Alameda, and Marin Counties. Licensed, insured, and equipped to handle any roofing emergency — from storm damage and active leaks to fallen trees and fire damage. Our emergency crews are standing by right now.
Emergency roof repair addresses weather events, structural failures, and catastrophic damage where immediate weatherproofing prevents escalating water intrusion, interior damage, and mold development. East Bay Roofers evaluates storm-damaged roofs determining whether temporary tarping provides adequate protection until permanent repairs or whether immediate structural intervention prevents collapse hazards requiring building department notification.
Emergency response may not be warranted when minor leaks occur during business hours allowing standard service appointments, when weather forecasts show multiple dry days before next storm system, when interior bucket placement adequately protects property until regular scheduling, or when insurance claim processing requires formal adjuster inspection before repairs proceed. Non-emergency scheduling provides cost savings versus premium after-hours emergency rates.
East Bay Roofers emergency assessments prioritize life-safety concerns identifying structural collapse hazards, locate active water intrusion sources using thermal imaging during active storms, assess tarping extent required for adequate temporary protection, coordinate with utility companies when electrical systems face exposure, photograph damage for insurance documentation before stabilization, determine whether immediate repairs restore weatherproofing or temporary measures protect property until comprehensive repairs, and provide emergency versus standard repair cost comparisons.
Emergency roof repair stops active water infiltration within hours, provides temporary weatherproofing lasting weeks to months depending on conditions, documents damage for insurance claims, and stabilizes structural concerns pending comprehensive evaluation. However, emergency repairs cannot address underlying roof deterioration requiring full replacement, guarantee cosmetic appearance matching original roof, prevent all moisture infiltration in severe ongoing weather, or eliminate need for interior restoration of water-damaged ceilings and insulation. Emergency rates carry 50-100% premiums versus standard scheduling due to after-hours crew coordination, material sourcing challenges, and elevated safety risks during adverse weather.

Water actively entering your home during rain or snow events. Even small leaks can cause thousands in water damage to ceilings, walls, insulation, and belongings within hours.
Significant wind damage with large sections of missing shingles, tiles, or roofing materials leaving your roof deck exposed to the elements. Common after East Bay windstorms.
Trees or major branches that have fallen onto your roof, creating immediate structural concerns and openings for water intrusion. Requires professional assessment and safe removal coordination.
Roof damage from fires (structural or nearby) requiring immediate weatherproofing to prevent further damage while you work with insurance and plan reconstruction.
Visible sagging, depressions, or structural compromise indicating potential roof deck or framing failure. This is a safety emergency requiring immediate professional evaluation.
Extensive shingle blow-off, lifted metal panels, or displaced tiles from high winds. The exposed areas are vulnerable to water damage during the next rain event.

While you're still on the phone, we're dispatching the nearest available licensed crew with the right equipment for your specific situation. You'll receive the crew's estimated arrival time and direct contact number.
Timeframe: 45-60 minutes
Our emergency crew arrives at your East Bay property fully equipped with commercial-grade tarps, safety equipment, emergency patching materials, and specialized tools.

We work in adverse conditions when necessary to stop active water intrusion.
Timeframe: 60-90 minutes
While performing emergency stabilization, our licensed roofers conduct a thorough damage assessment. We document everything with photos and detailed notes for insurance purposes.

We also assess potential secondary damage to gutters, flashing, underlayment, and interior spaces.
Timeframe: 2-4 hours
Our crew installs professional emergency tarping using commercial-grade materials secured with proper techniques — not the flimsy tarps and bungee cords that fail in the next windstorm.

We guarantee our emergency protection against leaks until permanent repairs are completed.
