Emergency Roof Repair in Langley, WA

Emergency Roof Repair · Langley, WA

Tarp and stabilize first, then the permanent repair

Emergency roof repair starts when a storm or a falling tree opens your roof to the weather. Our first job is to stop the water getting in. Then we stabilize the building and plan the permanent repair. Slow leaks and worn flashing fall under our regular roof repair service.

Based in Langley, we do emergency roof repair on Whidbey Island end to end. We also work on Camano Island and in Anacortes, Mount Vernon, Burlington and Stanwood. We are licensed, bonded and insured, with more than 30 years of experience. When a storm leaves your roof open, call or text (360) 544-9655 and we will get back to you.

What We Handle

  • Emergency roof tarping and sealing to stop water getting in
  • Temporary coverings and structural support to stabilize a damaged building
  • Fallen limbs and storm debris cleared off the roof while we stabilize it

  • Permanent storm damage roof repair once the weather clears and the roof is safe
  • Broken framing and decking rebuilt by our carpenters and roofing crew together
  • Storm-damaged siding replaced as part of the same repair
  • A diagnostic report and an itemized scope of materials and labor for your insurer

Why does roof tarping come first?

An open roof takes on more water with every round of rain. In most cases our first step is emergency tarping or sealing to stop further damage. The full repair gets scheduled once the weather clears and conditions are safe.

We also make the building stable. That can mean temporary coverings or structural support under a damaged section of roof or wall. Fallen limbs and debris come off the roof before they do more damage.

Some emergencies start inside the house. Water drips from the ceiling, or a stain keeps spreading while the storm goes on. We find where the water is getting in and seal it until the permanent repair.

Storm damage roof repair on Whidbey Island

High winds and heavy rain hit hardest on the south and west sides of Whidbey Island. Island County's severe weather plan says the county is most exposed to severe wind from December through March. Downed trees come first on its list of the most probable damage. The plan adds that heavy wet snow brings down trees and utility lines too.

A falling tree can crack rafters and decking and tear the siding off the wall below. Our carpenters and our roofing crew work together on these repairs. The framing and the roof get rebuilt in one job. When the walls took damage too, new siding goes on as part of the repair.

The historic Brewster farmhouse is one of these jobs. It is an early-1930s home on the island, and a tree fell on it during a high-wind storm. We rebuilt and waterproofed the affected areas to stop further damage to the building.

Emergency roofing and your insurance claim

If the repair goes through an insurance claim, we document and itemize the damage for your insurer. You get a diagnostic report with a detailed assessment of the materials and labor the repair needs. What your policy covers is between you and your insurance company.

On the Brewster farmhouse, we worked directly with the homeowner's insurance company. We carefully itemized the scope of work. Once the project was approved, we completed the repair, siding and roofing work.

We get up on the roof and check the decking, flashing, venting and gutters. Then you get the scope and the price in writing. The estimate is free.

FAQ

Emergency Roof Repair Questions, Answered

Common questions about emergency roof repair across Whidbey Island, Camano Island and the Skagit side. If yours is not here, call or text and ask.

Call (360) 544-9655

What counts as a roof emergency?
Sudden damage that lets the weather into your home is a roof emergency. On the island, the common ones are wind or storm damage and fallen trees or debris. Sudden leaks are on that list too. If water is coming in, call or text (360) 544-9655.
What should I do while I wait?
If it is safe, put buckets or towels under the water and move valuables away from the leak. Stay off the roof and leave it to our crew. Island County's windstorm advice is to stay far away from downed power lines.
A tree fell on my roof. Can you help?
Yes. We stabilize the building, which can mean structural support and getting fallen limbs and debris off the roof. We tarp or seal the opening to stop further damage. Once the weather clears, our carpenters and roofing crew rebuild what the tree broke.
How much does emergency roof repair cost?
It depends on what the storm broke. A tarp over a few lost shingles is a smaller job than a tree through the rafters. The roofing material and any siding or framing damage change the price too. We look at the damage and give you a free estimate before the permanent repair starts.
Will I need a new roof after storm damage?
When the damage sits in one area of a sound roof, a repair can be the right fix. If the roof was near the end of its life anyway, we will tell you. Then we price a roof replacement next to the repair so you can compare.
Do I need a permit for the permanent repair?
Island County says new and replacement roofing projects require a building permit. Whether a storm repair needs one depends on its scope and which office covers your address. We check with that permit office before the permanent work starts.

They installed a new metal roof on the house we purchased and were able to start quickly which meant it was nearly done by the time we moved in. We had a great experience working with Jeff who was very helpful with suggestions on some cosmetic changes we made and the entire roof and gables came out nicely. Very pleased with this company and would recommend them to anyone on Whidbey looking for roofing or siding work.

Whidbey Roof and Siding did an outstanding job. Very professional! No playing games came in with the lowest bid. We did run into a few surprises, but Jeff was very clear and transparent about what it would take to correct the issue. Very glad I had someone who could deal with the issues. As one recent visitor said the skylight looks like it was here all along and not an after thought addition. Highly recommend
