EMERGENCY TYPES
Different storm calls need different first moves.
The right response is not just “replace the roof.” Sometimes it is dry-in, safety, debris coordination, water control, or claim positioning first. That sequence matters.
Highest priority
Open roof / active leak
The envelope is compromised right now, so the first job is stopping the house from taking more damage before anything else.
•Dry-in and exposed-deck protection first•Interior leak path documented immediately•Fast transition into permanent repair scope
Structural risk
Tree / impact damage
These calls usually involve safety, access, debris coordination, and temporary stabilization before repair decisions.
•Arborist coordination when needed•Board-up and temporary framing support•Photo documentation from the first visit
Claim workflow
Insurance-driven loss
The emergency call, the adjuster meeting, and the final restoration should live inside one clear file instead of becoming disconnected jobs.
•Single scope trail from emergency to repair•Supplement support for missed damage•One team owning the handoff

EARLY WARNING
Signs your roof is already telling on itself.
CATCH IT EARLY AND THIS IS A
ROOFING JOB.
WAIT TOO LONG AND IT BECOMES
ROOFING + DECKING + INSULATION +
CEILING.
01
Protect people first
Stay out of rooms with sagging ceilings, exposed wiring, or structural movement until the site is stabilized.
02
Call before major cleanup
Early photos and the untouched condition make claim documentation stronger and cleaner.
03
Take safe phone photos
A few quick images from a safe distance help preserve the damage state before water or debris shifts.
04
Do not leave the opening exposed
Fast temporary protection is what prevents a roofing claim from becoming a much larger interior loss.
MATERIALS
We only installwhat we'd put on our own house.
Most common
Wind damage
Missing shingles, lifted metal panels, torn gutters. We photo, tarp, estimate, bill.
January-March
Ice dam leaks
Water backup under shingles into attic/ceiling. Steam the dam, tarp if needed, repair the soffit/ceiling, address the root cause.
Severe events
Tree impact
We coordinate tree removal with a certified arborist, then tarp the roof, then repair.
Rare in Maine
Hail damage
Possible on older roofs. We do a test-square inspection with your adjuster and file claim if warranted.

More questions? Call +1 (203) 725-5058 or request an estimate — we don't believe in pressure sales.
Should I call insurance first?
No. Call us first. If we don't think it's a claim, we'll tell you (some small damage is cheaper to pay out-of-pocket than hit your record). If it is a claim, we help you file with the right damage description.
