Call (720) 408-1840What counts as a roof emergency
Direct answer: If water is getting into the structure, or is about to, it is an emergency. Active leaks, wind-torn sections, impact holes, and large areas of missing shingles with rain in the forecast all call for immediate protection. If you are seeing any of the following, call (720) 408-1840.
Active water intrusion
Water coming through a ceiling or running down an interior wall.
Wind-torn roof
A section of shingles, decking, or flashing torn open by wind.
Tree or debris impact
A tree limb or debris that has punched or crushed part of the roof.
Missing shingles, rain coming
A large area of missing shingles after a hail or wind storm, with rain in the forecast.
Open hole or sag
A visible hole, gap, or sagging spot where water can get in.
Water in a fixture
Water pooling in a light fixture or spreading across a ceiling.
The common thread is simple. If water is getting into the structure, or is about to, every hour it continues makes the repair larger and the damage more expensive. Fast, temporary protection is what keeps a roof problem from becoming a drywall, insulation, and framing problem.
What we do on an emergency call
Direct answer: Our first job is to stop the damage from spreading. Permanent repair comes later, once the weather clears and the claim is moving. On an emergency dispatch, our crew focuses on four things.
Emergency tarping
We secure heavy-duty tarps over the exposed area and fasten them so wind and rain stay out. Tarping is the standard first response for an open roof, and it buys the time needed to plan a proper repair or replacement. Boarding up is used where a tarp alone will not hold.
Leak containment
We track where the water is actually entering, which is often not directly above the stain inside, and we cut off the path so the interior stops taking on water.
Structural and safety assessment
We look at the decking, the framing around the opening, and any area where water has collected, so you know whether the problem is limited to the surface or has reached the structure underneath.
Photo documentation for your claim
We photograph the damage and the emergency work, from the exposed area to the tarp in place. That record shows your insurer what happened, when, and that you took reasonable steps to protect the home. Those same photos feed the full scope later.
Once the home is stable, we schedule a full inspection to plan the permanent repair. That step is covered on our roof inspections page.
What to do right now while you wait
Direct answer: While our crew is on the way, a few calm steps protect both your family and your home. Begin with the first one below, staying off the roof.
Stay off the roof
Do not climb up, especially in rain, wind, hail, or the dark. A wet or storm-damaged roof is not safe to walk on, and no temporary fix is worth a fall. Let a crew with the right equipment handle anything above ground level.
Move people and valuables away
If a ceiling is holding water or sagging, keep everyone clear of that area. A saturated ceiling can give way.
Contain the water inside
Put buckets or bins under active drips and lay down towels. If water is pooling in a light fixture or ceiling fan, turn off power to that part of the house at the breaker before you go near it. Water and electricity together are dangerous.
Move or cover what you can
Slide furniture and electronics out of the path of the water. Cover anything you cannot move with a plastic sheet or trash bag.
Start documenting
From a safe position on the ground or from inside, take photos and short videos of the damage and the water. Note the date and time. This is the beginning of your claim record, and it costs nothing to build.
Insurance and emergency roof repair
Direct answer: Most homeowner policies ask you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage after a loss. This is often called your duty to mitigate, and taking reasonable steps to protect the property after a storm is a standard condition of most homeowner policies.
Because that step is expected, the reasonable cost of temporary emergency measures taken to protect covered property, such as tarping, is commonly reimbursable on a covered claim. Major carriers advise keeping receipts for temporary repairs and submitting them with the claim. Progressive, for example, tells homeowners that emergency repairs to avoid further damage can be submitted for reimbursement, and to keep the receipts and add them to the claim filing.
Coverage always depends on your specific policy and whether the underlying cause is a covered peril, so this is not a guarantee, and it is not legal advice. What we can tell you is how it usually works and how we help. We keep clear records of the emergency work and hand you documentation you can pass straight to your insurer. If you decide to file, that same documentation supports the full claim for the permanent repair. Our step by step walkthrough of the process lives in our Colorado roof storm damage insurance claim guide.
The short version. Do not skip the emergency step because you are worried about the cost. Skipping mitigation can actually put your claim at risk, and on a covered claim the reasonable cost of that temporary work is often reimbursable, depending on your policy and the cause of the loss.
Storm and hail context for Denver
Direct answer: Denver sits in the middle of what meteorologists call Hail Alley, the corridor along the Front Range that records the highest frequency of large hail in North America. That is the backdrop for most emergency roof calls in the metro.
Colorado hail season generally runs from April through September, with the most intense activity from mid-May through mid-July and June historically the most active month. A single storm can do enormous damage in a matter of minutes. The May 8, 2017 hailstorm across the Denver metro caused an estimated 2.3 billion dollars in insured losses, the costliest catastrophe in state history, and the May 30, 2024 storm caused close to 2 billion dollars.
Wind and hail are not the only sources of an open roof. Heavy wet spring snow, sudden temperature swings that work flashing loose, and the occasional downed tree limb all create the same result, an opening where water gets in. Whatever the cause, the response is the same. Protect the opening first, then plan the repair.
Why a local contractor beats a storm chaser at 10pm
Direct answer: After a big storm, out of state crews show up across the metro knocking on doors. Some are fine. Many are gone by the time a problem surfaces, and the warranty goes with them. When the issue is an active leak at night, the difference between a local team and a passing crew is not subtle.

Crews who know Denver
We work this metro every week, in every season, and we know how these storms behave and how these roofs fail.
We stand behind the work
Because we are a local company with a permanent address, the emergency tarp, the documentation, and the permanent repair all come from the same team you can reach again.
A crew that cannot show a Colorado license, a local address, and a real project history is a crew that may not be reachable when you need them next.
