Frequently Asked Questions:

What qualifies as a roofing emergency?

A roofing emergency is any situation that leaves your home or business vulnerable to additional damage or creates a safety concern. This can include active roof leaks, storm damage, missing shingles, fallen trees or branches, large holes in the roof, sagging roof sections, or damage caused by high winds and hail. If you’re unsure whether your situation is an emergency, contact Somerset Roofing for a professional assessment.

What should I do if my roof starts leaking?

If it’s safe to do so, move valuables away from the leak and place a bucket or container underneath the affected area to collect water. Avoid climbing onto your roof, especially during severe weather. Contact Somerset Roofing as soon as possible so our team can inspect the damage and recommend the safest solution to protect your home.

Do you provide emergency roof tarping?

Yes. Somerset Roofing offers emergency roof tarping and temporary weatherproofing services to help protect your home from additional water intrusion after storm damage or unexpected roofing emergencies. Temporary protection helps minimize further damage while permanent repairs or roof replacement are scheduled.

Will homeowners insurance cover emergency roof repairs?

Many emergency roof repairs resulting from covered events, such as hail, wind, or fallen trees, may be covered by your homeowner’s insurance policy. Coverage varies by policy, but Somerset Roofing can provide detailed inspections, photo documentation, and insurance claims assistance to help support your claim.

Can my roof be repaired, or will it need to be replaced?

Every roofing emergency is different. After completing a comprehensive roof inspection, our experienced team will determine whether your roof can be safely repaired or if a full roof replacement is the better long-term solution.
