What to do the moment your roof starts leaking
When water is coming through the ceiling, the clock matters. While we're on the way, you can limit the damage — and we'll walk you through it on the phone.
- Move valuables and electronics out from under the leak.
- Catch water in buckets and, if it's safe, relieve a bulging ceiling with a small drain hole.
- Photograph everything — the source, the path, and the damage — for your claim.
- Stay off the roof during a storm; we'll handle the tarping safely.
- Call us — 24/7 — so we can stabilize the roof before more water gets in.
Stabilize first, then repair right
Emergency response is a two-step job. First we stop the intrusion with professional-grade tarping and sealing so your home is protected through the next downpour. Then, once conditions allow, we return for a permanent repair built to Broward HVHZ code — and we document the storm damage thoroughly so it supports any insurance claim you decide to file.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. We provide round-the-clock emergency tarping and water-intrusion control across Coconut Creek and Broward County, then schedule a permanent repair. Call us as soon as water comes in — the faster we tarp it, the less interior damage you'll have.
Emergency stabilization (tarping and water-intrusion control) typically runs $400–$1,500 depending on access and the size of the affected area. That's separate from the permanent repair, which we price after a full inspection — and storm-related work is often covered by insurance.
If the leak is from a covered event like a storm, insurers generally expect you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage — which is exactly what emergency tarping is. We document the damage and the stabilization so it supports your claim.
