Why Emergency Tarping is Critical

Tarping isn’t just a temporary solution; it’s an emergency mitigation strategy to minimize water intrusion and protect insurance eligibility.

Immediate Benefits of Emergency Tarping:

Prevent Water Damage – Water intrusion can warp ceilings, damage drywall, ruin flooring, and foster mold colonies within just 24–72 hours after a breach.
Insurance Compliance – Most insurance companies require that homeowners take proactive steps to mitigate additional damage. Proper tarping meets these policy requirements.
Quick Deployment – Our emergency crews are trained for rapid response and installation, often completing the tarping process within hours of your call.
Keeps Your Home Secure – Professionally installed tarps act as a barrier against rain, wind-driven debris, animals, and even potential vandalism during a vulnerable time.

How Much Does Wind Damage Roof Repair Cost?

Wind damage repair costs vary based on materials, damage severity, roof slope, and urgency.

Minor repairs (e.g., 3-tab shingle replacement): $200–$750 — typically includes limited material replacement and sealing.
Moderate damage (e.g., flashing + partial replacement): $1,000–$3,500 — may require structural fixes or deck patching.
Severe damage or full replacement: $6,000–$18,000 — this may involve new decking, ventilation, and insulation work.

Emergency repairs may include a surcharge of 10–25% depending on time and access needs.

Most homeowner insurance policies cover wind damage. Learn how to handle underpaid claims in our Settlement Too Low guide.

Roof Types We Repair After Windstorms

Asphalt Shingle Roofs – We repair lifted tabs, replace missing shingles, and reseal vulnerable areas. These are the most common roofs impacted by wind.
Metal Roofs – We fix detached panels, reseal seams, and assess underlying insulation for water damage. Metal roofs can experience seam separation and oil-canning.
Tile Roofs – We replace cracked or dislodged tiles and check the underlayment membrane. Tile roofs are durable but susceptible to wind-lift damage if not properly secured.
Flat Roofing (TPO, EPDM, PVC) – We weld or seal membrane tears, remove pooled water, and ensure proper drainage. These systems are often used on commercial buildings.

As a thank you to those who serve, we offer a $500 “Roofs for Troops” rebate on qualifying full roof replacements for active duty military, veterans, military retirees, and first responders.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if wind damaged my roof?

Signs of wind damage include missing shingles, curled or lifted edges, torn flashing, and water stains in your attic. After a storm, walk around your property and check your gutters and yard for roofing debris. If you're unsure, our roof inspection service offers a professional evaluation.

Is wind damage covered by insurance?

In most cases, yes. Homeowner’s insurance typically covers wind-related damage. However, coverage may depend on your policy’s wind deductible or exclusions. We assist in navigating the insurance claims process to maximize your payout.

Can I fix wind damage myself?

While some repairs may look simple, attempting DIY fixes without proper training can lead to injury or worsen the problem. Incorrect installations can also void manufacturer warranties. It’s safer and more cost-effective to hire licensed professionals.

How soon should I repair wind damage?

Immediately. Waiting can result in further damage, such as water infiltration, mold, or structural issues. We provide emergency tarping to prevent additional harm until permanent repairs are made.

What’s the difference between wind damage and normal wear?

Wind damage is typically sudden and includes torn or missing shingles, cracked tiles, or displaced metal panels. Wear and tear happen gradually, such as shingle granule loss or fading. A professional inspection will distinguish between the two.

Will a roof inspection cost me anything?

No. ERS Roof Repair offers free roof inspections following a storm. We provide a detailed damage report and consultation on next steps—whether it's repair, replacement, or filing an insurance claim.

How long does wind damage roof repair take?

Minor repairs may be completed in a day, while more extensive work can take 2–5 days, depending on material availability and severity. We always provide an upfront timeline and keep you updated throughout the process.

Do you offer wind damage repair in commercial buildings?

Yes. Our team is trained to work on all roof types, including commercial flat roofing systems, TPO, PVC, and EPDM. We follow strict safety and code compliance standards for commercial roof repairs.
