Our Team is On Standby. Call Now!

Our comprehensive emergency roofing services in Tulsa are designed to address the varied needs of the Tulsa community in these challenging times. We offer:

Fast Storm Damaged-Roof Repairs and Restoration

In the aftermath of a storm, immediate action is often required to secure your home and prevent further damage. Our emergency roof repair services encompass a wide range of urgent interventions including, but not limited to:

  • Roof Tarping: As a temporary protective measure, we can install roof tarps in Tulsa that shield your home from the elements, buying you time until more permanent repairs can be made. This is particularly important if you have visible holes in your roof or if large sections of shingles are missing.
  • Wind Damage Roof Repair: Strong winds can rip off shingles, damage flashing, and cause other forms of structural damage. Our team is experienced in identifying and repairing such issues to restore the integrity of your roof.

It’s important to recognize when you might need emergency roof repairs. Here are a few signs:

  • Active Leaks: If you see water dripping or dark stains on your ceilings or walls, it’s a clear sign of a roof leak that needs immediate attention.
  • Missing Shingles: Shingles that are missing or out of place expose the underlayment and decking of your roof, leaving your home vulnerable to the elements.
  • Damaged Flashing: Flashing protects the most vulnerable parts of your roof. If it’s damaged or dislodged, water can seep into your home.

If you notice any of these signs, please reach out to us immediately for emergency roof repair services.

Expert Roof Inspections to Assess Damage and Plan for Repairs

Roofs, like any other part of your home, require regular inspections, especially after a severe storm. Wind and storm damage can often be subtle, affecting the life and integrity of your roof without immediate visible signs. Here are some ways a storm can impact your roof:

  • Lost Shingles: High winds can dislodge shingles, leaving your roof exposed to the elements. Over time, this can lead to leaks and structural damage.
  • Granule Loss: Wind and hail can strip the protective granules from your shingles, reducing their ability to resist the sun’s UV rays and shorten their lifespan.
  • Structural Damage: Strong winds can cause tree branches or other debris to fall on your roof, causing structural damage that might not be immediately visible.

Our roof inspection service includes a thorough examination of your roof for signs of storm damage. We check for missing, loose, or damaged shingles, inspect the condition of the flashing, assess the state of the gutters and downspouts, and look for signs of leaks inside your home. Based on our findings, we will provide you with a detailed report and recommended course of action.

Roof inspections after windstorms help catch minor issues before they turn into major problems. Now is a good time to schedule an inspection.

Roof Replacements: Helping You Rebuild Your Roof After A Storm

If your roof has sustained significant damage, we can provide full roof replacements with high-quality, durable materials. This service is needed when repairs are not enough to ensure the safety and durability of your roof, such as when there’s extensive structural damage, or when the roof is past its lifespan and the storm has exacerbated its deterioration.

Debris Removal: Clearing Your Roof of Fallen Trees and More

We will assist in clearing roof-related debris caused by the storm, easing your path to recovery. This service is vital for those with significant amounts of debris on their roofs that could cause further damage or pose a safety risk.
