Emergency roof repair
When water is coming through the ceiling of a Meridian home or business, we stop it first with a tarp fastened to the deck or a temporary patch, then make the permanent repair once the roof is dry.
Water coming in now?
Call and tell us where the water is showing. We cover the opening, then come back for the permanent repair.

Stop the water first
Emergency roof repair in Meridian stops water coming through a damaged roof, with a tarp, a temporary patch, a new pipe boot or plywood boarded over a hole, on homes and on commercial buildings.
It is the first visit, the "dry-in", not the whole fix. The goal is to keep the water out of the house and hold the roof closed until the permanent repair can go on, so a ceiling stain does not turn into wet insulation and soft drywall.
What an emergency visit can do
Emergency work covers tarping, temporary patches, replacing a failed pipe boot and boarding a hole, and it is not a tear-off.
These are the temporary fixes an emergency visit can make:
A tarp covers a torn section or a run of missing shingles. We fasten it through to the deck, because a tarp held by shingle tabs can blow off and start a second emergency.
A smaller opening takes a patch of "ice and water shield" membrane sealed with roofing cement. It stops the water while the materials for the permanent repair are prepared.
The rubber collar around a vent pipe, the "pipe boot", cracks and splits with age and sun. When a split boot is letting water in, we replace it.
Where something has broken through, plywood boarded over the hole closes it until the "decking", the wood under the shingles, can be repaired.
We arrive with tarps, plywood, roofing cement and fastening tools. Replacing the roof is a separate job, quoted on its own.
What it costs
Emergency roof repair is priced by the size of the opening and the materials the temporary fix takes, and the panel beside this shows the typical range for the work.
A torn corner under a tarp is a different job from a split pipe boot or a hole that needs plywood first. Repairs cost more when water has spread into the decking or when the roof is steep or two stories tall.
We tell you the price before any work starts, and the permanent repair is quoted on its own once we can see the damage dry.
Tarping, patching and boarding
$481.33 to $962.65
That range covers materials and labor. The exact price for your Meridian roof comes from the call and a look at the opening.

We secure the opening with a tarp fastened to the deck, then make the permanent repair once the roof is dry enough for shingles and sealants to seal.
An emergency job runs in four steps:
Tell us where the water is showing and what you can see from the ground. Calls outside our hours go to voicemail, and we return them the next working morning.
A tarp held by a few shingle tabs can blow off and create a second emergency, so ours are battened down along every edge. On the roof we work to the OSHA Fall Protection rules.
Wet decking will not take new shingles or sealant, so the tarp or patch stays on while the weather clears and the materials for your roof are prepared.
We quote the whole repair before we start, with no surprise charges after, make it, and clean up when the work is done.

From a neighbor
Michael did a great job for us. Met him randomly because he bought something from me on FB Marketplace, and then we got talking. Soon enough we were walking around on my roof and he gave me a very competitive quote. He was super professional and the roof is done right. I feel lucky to have found him!
These questions sit next to emergency roof repair, with the short answer here and the full answer on its own page where one exists.
You should shut off the circuit at the breaker if water is near light fixtures, outlets or the panel and it is safe to do so. Stay off the roof: a wet or storm-damaged roof is slippery and can give way.
Move what you can out from under the drip and catch the water in a bucket until we get there.
Insurance may cover sudden storm, hail and wind damage, though it usually does not cover normal wear and tear, and the insurer decides what it pays. Photos of the damage and of the temporary fix help the claim.
Quick answers
Stopping the water comes first, with a tarp or a patch. Whether the permanent repair follows the same day depends on a dry roof, because shingles and sealants need the right conditions to seal. When it cannot be done right away, the tarp holds while the materials are prepared.
Emergency roof repair typically runs $481.33 to $962.65, materials and labor included. The size of the opening and the materials the temporary fix takes set the price, and we tell you the price before we start. What moves the price of other roof work is set out in our guide to what a roof costs.
A leaking roof is covered temporarily with a tarp or shrink wrap. The tarp has to be fastened to the deck, not to a few shingle tabs, or it can blow off and start a second emergency. A wet roof is slippery and can give way, so call us rather than climbing it yourself.
