Emergency roof repair is about containment first, permanent fix second. We secure the exposed area with a tarp or emergency sealant to stop active water intrusion. Then we assess the full extent of damage and schedule the permanent repair. Ortley Roofing & Maintenance has been responding to roof emergencies across Ortley for 15 years.
We carry everything needed for emergency roof repair on every truck: poly tarps in multiple sizes, 2x4 batten boards, cap nails, replacement shingles in common colors, step flashing, pipe boots, roofing sealant, and waterproof caulk. If your emergency requires materials we don't carry, we source them same-day from our supplier network in Ortley.
Our Emergency Roof Repair Process
Emergency Call
Call (877) 586-1316 and describe the situation. Active leak, storm damage, fallen debris, collapsed section — we triage over the phone and dispatch a crew. Same-day response for active emergencies in Ortley.
Stop the Water
Poly tarps secured with 2x4 battens and cap nails over all exposed areas. Active leak points sealed with roofing sealant. Loose or hanging shingles, flashing, and debris removed to prevent further damage in the next rain.
Scope of Damage
Thorough damage assessment: how many shingles are missing or damaged, which flashing points failed, whether the underlayment is compromised, and whether the roof deck sheathing absorbed water. All documented with annotated photos for insurance.
Restoration Plan
We schedule the permanent repair within days. Blown-off shingles replaced, damaged flashing rebuilt, compromised underlayment and sheathing replaced. The emergency patch holds while we source materials and schedule the crew for a full restoration.
