24/7 emergency roofing, homes and commercial buildings

Water coming in? We answer the phone, then we stop it.

Leaks, wind damage, a tree through the roof, an ice dam pushing water into the walls. The emergency line is answered around the clock, evenings, weekends and holidays. A crew stabilizes the roof with tarps and temporary flashing, documents everything for your insurer, and comes back with the permanent repair.

  1. Catch the waterBuckets under drips, towels on floors, a small hole in a bulging ceiling to let the water out before it brings the drywall down.
  2. Move what mattersElectronics, furniture, documents away from the wet area. Cut power to the room if water is near fixtures or outlets.
  3. Stay off the roofWet shingles, loose slate and a tree that has not finished falling are how people get hurt. Leave the roof to us.
  4. Photograph everythingCeilings, walls, the roof from the ground, the debris. Your insurer will want the pictures and so will we.
What we respond to

Four kinds of roof emergency, one response

Whatever the cause, the first visit has the same goal: no more water in the building tonight. The permanent repair comes next, in daylight, with the right materials.

Active leak

Water through the ceiling

Traced from the attic side, tarped or flashed the same day, repaired properly within days.

Is it an emergency? →
Storm & tree damage

Wind, hail, fallen trees

Shingles gone, decking exposed, a tree on the roof. Tarp, board, secure, document, then rebuild.

What the first visit does →
Ice & snow

Ice dams and snow load

Water backing up under shingles, a flat roof sagging under wet snow. Steam, removal and relief the same day.

Winter emergencies →
Insurance

Claims done right

Photos, a written report, a scope the adjuster can read, and someone on the roof with them if needed.

How claims work →
Who we respond for

A family at 2 a.m. and a property manager with forty tenants

The same line, the same crews, a different plan. A home needs the water stopped and the family reassured. A building needs the water stopped, tenants informed, the loading dock kept open and a report in the owner's inbox by morning.

Homes

Leaks, storm damage, trees, ice dams

We tarp or flash the same day where the weather allows, trace the leak from inside the attic rather than guessing from the ground, and give you a written repair proposal with photos before anything permanent is done. If the roof is at the end of its life, we say so, and quote the replacement next to the repair.

  • Emergency tarping and temporary flashing
  • Leak tracing from the attic side
  • Ice dam steaming and roof snow removal
  • Tree and debris removal from the roof
  • Financing through Service Finance Company for the permanent repair

Area: Bergen, Hudson, Essex, Passaic, Morris, Union, Middlesex, Somerset, Hunterdon and Sussex counties.

One call reaches a crew that has done this on flat, metal and shingle roofs across the state. We stabilize the roof, protect stock and equipment, keep entrances and docks usable, write up the damage for your insurer and send the owner or property manager a photo report the same night.

  • After-hours and weekend response
  • Membrane patching, drain clearing, parapet and curb flashing
  • Snow load relief and ice removal on flat roofs
  • Tenant notices and site protection
  • Insurance scope and capital-plan documentation

Area: all of New Jersey; larger projects also in Pennsylvania and Connecticut.

The first visit

What the emergency crew does on arrival

The truck carries what an emergency usually needs: tarps, battens, temporary flashing, sealants, plywood, snow tools, pumps. The aim is a dry building tonight and a clear picture of what the permanent fix is.

Tarp and dry-in shingle, slate, tile

What: heavy tarps battened down over the damage, or a synthetic underlayment dry-in on exposed decking.

Why: stops the water immediately and keeps the deck from soaking while the repair is planned.

Same visit

Leak tracing from the attic side

What: we find where the water enters, not just where it shows; chimney flashing, pipe boots, valleys and skylights are the usual culprits.

Why: a patch on the stain is a second visit waiting to happen.

Same visit

Temporary flashing and sealing penetrations, walls, curbs

What: temporary metal and sealant at the failed detail so the building stays dry until the proper flashing is rebuilt.

Why: most leaks are a detail, and a detail can be made safe in an hour.

Same visit

Flat roof emergency patching EPDM, TPO, mod-bit

What: membrane patches, seam reseal, drain and scupper clearing, water pumped off a ponding roof.

Why: on a flat roof, a blocked drain alone can bring a ceiling down.

Same visit

Snow and ice relief steaming, removal, load relief

What: ice dams opened with steam, not hammers; snow removed from overloaded flat roofs and eaves; channels cut so meltwater drains.

Why: ice dams push water uphill under shingles; wet snow on a flat roof is a structural risk.

Same visit

Documentation for you and your insurer

What: photos before and after, a written description of the damage and its cause, and a scope of the permanent repair.

Why: claims are won on documentation; we have been doing this for insurers for thirty years.

Report the same night
Is it an emergency?

What you see, and whether it can wait until morning

Some things need a crew tonight. Some are a next-day appointment and we will tell you so honestly, because an emergency call-out costs more than a scheduled one.

01

Water dripping through a ceiling

Emergency: yes. Catch the water, relieve a bulging ceiling with a small hole, call us.

We do: trace the entry point, tarp or flash the same day, schedule the permanent repair.

02

A stain that appeared after rain, now dry

Emergency: usually not. It is a leak, but a slow one.

We do: a scheduled inspection within days; the stain tells us where to look.

03

Shingles or slates in the yard after wind

Emergency: yes if underlayment or decking is exposed, or more rain is coming.

We do: tarp the open area, count and photograph the loss for insurance, replace the courses.

04

A tree or large branch on the roof

Emergency: yes. Keep people out of the rooms underneath.

We do: secure the area, coordinate removal, board and tarp the opening, check the structure before anyone goes back in.

05

Ice dam at the eaves with water inside

Emergency: yes. The water is already in the wall.

We do: steam the dam open, clear the gutter, dry-in if needed; fix the insulation and ventilation cause in spring.

06

A sagging ceiling or a sagging flat roof

Emergency: yes. Get out from under it.

We do: relieve the load, pump or drain the water, open the ceiling safely, assess the framing before the repair.

Insurance claims

We speak adjuster

Storm, wind, hail, fallen trees and ice damage are usually covered; wear and tear is not. The difference is proven with photos, a clear cause and a scope written the way an adjuster reads it. We have handled claims with every major carrier since 1990.

  1. 01
    Document firstBefore anything is moved or tarped, the damage is photographed inside and out, with dates and the cause noted.
  2. 02
    MitigateTarping and dry-in are a policy requirement as well as common sense; we invoice them separately so the claim includes them.
  3. 03
    Scope and meetA line-item scope of the permanent repair, and a Roof4Roof supervisor on the roof with the adjuster if the carrier sends one.
  4. 04
    Repair and closeThe permanent repair to the approved scope, supplements for anything found during the work, closeout photos for the file.

You choose your contractor, not the insurer. A written "preferred vendor" is a suggestion, never a requirement.

Why Roof4Roof

The company your neighbours already called

An emergency is the worst time to find a roofer for the first time. Four things we do on every emergency that most companies do not:

  • A person answers, 24/7Not a voicemail. Evenings, weekends, holidays, the line rings through to someone who can dispatch a crew.
  • Our own crews, our own trucksNo subcontractor arriving in an unmarked van. The crew that tarps your roof is the crew that comes back to repair it.
  • The honest option, in writingRepair, restore or replace, with photos and prices, before the permanent work starts. Emergency pricing is explained up front.
  • The owners' direct line on every documentIssues answered within 48 hours, most within 24. The owners' contact details are printed on every proposal and invoice.

And a share of this roof funds a roof for a family in need, through our One4One program.

Cost & insurance

What emergency roof repair costs in New Jersey

An emergency visit is priced for what it is: a crew, a truck and materials at short notice, often at night. We tell you the call-out price on the phone, and the permanent repair is quoted in writing afterwards, never on the roof in the dark.

Emergency call-out, tarping or dry-in
Quoted on the phone before dispatch; typically $400–$1,200 depending on roof size, access and time of day
Leak and storm repairs
Minor $350–$750 · typical $750–$2,500 · structural or large-area damage quoted after inspection
Ice dam steaming and snow removal
Priced per visit by roof size and depth of snow
Insured losses
Mitigation and repair are invoiced to the claim scope; you pay your deductible
Paying for it

Insurance first, financing if needed

Storm and accidental damage is usually an insurance matter and we handle the documentation. For repairs the policy does not cover, homeowners qualify for 100% financing through Service Finance Company, including same-as-cash and fixed-rate plans.

Financing options →

Not sure whether to file a claim? Ask us first; a small repair under the deductible is better not claimed.

FAQ

Emergency questions, answered straight

What people ask us at midnight, and the morning after.

Have an emergency now? Call (201) 267-3000.

01What counts as a roofing emergency?+

Any situation where the inside of the building is at risk right now: water actively coming in, decking exposed after wind, a tree or debris on the roof, an ice dam with water in the walls, a sagging ceiling or roof. A dry stain or a missing shingle with clear weather ahead is a prompt appointment, not an emergency, and we will say so.

02How fast can you get here?+

The line is answered 24/7 and crews are dispatched the same day in most cases, often within hours, weather and demand permitting. After a regional storm we triage: open roofs and active leaks first. We give you an honest arrival window on the phone.

03Do you work at night and on weekends?+

Yes. Tarping, dry-in, temporary flashing and snow or ice relief are done whenever they are needed, in the dark if the roof can be worked safely. Permanent repairs are done in daylight.

04Should I go up and tarp it myself?+

No. Wet roofs, wind and ladders are how homeowners end up in hospital. Catch the water inside, move valuables, photograph the damage, and leave the roof to us.

05Will my insurance cover this?+

Sudden damage from wind, hail, storms, fallen trees and ice is usually covered; gradual wear, neglect and old flashing usually are not. We document the cause with photos and a written report so the claim is clear, and we meet the adjuster on the roof if the carrier sends one.

06Do I have to use the roofer my insurer suggests?+

No. You choose your contractor. A "preferred vendor" list is a suggestion, not a condition of the policy.

07What does an emergency visit cost?+

We quote the call-out on the phone before dispatch. It covers the crew, the truck and the materials to make the roof watertight. The permanent repair is quoted separately, in writing, after a daylight inspection.

08Can you remove the tree or the snow?+

Branches and debris on the roof, yes; a large tree is coordinated with a tree service while we secure and tarp the opening. Snow is removed from overloaded flat roofs and eaves, and ice dams are opened with steam so the shingles are not damaged.

09How do I avoid the next emergency?+

A yearly inspection and a maintenance plan catch the loose flashing, the clogged drain and the lifted shingle before the storm does. Most emergencies we see were visible months earlier.
