If your roof is leaking, “we’ll get you scheduled” is not the answer you want. Here’s what response time looks like in Boise in real life—plus what you can do to speed it up.

Emergency response depends on:

• storm demand (call volume)

• safety conditions (wind/lightning/ice)

• time of day

• roof access complexity
  Active leaks usually get prioritized first.

Typical Emergency Response Windows (Realistic)

• Same day: active leaks, visible openings, severe storm damage

• Next day: slower leaks, contained interior damage

• 48 hours: non-active leaks during peak storm volume

If Boise gets hit with a major wind event, everyone calls at once. The best crews triage by severity.

What Changes the Timeline (The Honest List)

• unsafe roof conditions (wind gusts, lightning, ice)

• steep roof pitch or multi-story height

• blocked access (snow drift, gates, pets, parked vehicles)

• material availability for permanent repair (stabilization first)

What Emergency Roofing Can Do Immediately

Emergency visits focus on stopping damage, not doing perfect cosmetic work:

• tarp/stabilize openings

• isolate leak entry point(s)

• temporary patching where safe and appropriate

• document damage and plan permanent repair

What Permanent Repair Usually Requires

Permanent repair often needs:

• dry/safe conditions

• matching materials (shingles/flashing)

• time to properly install and seal

• full inspection for secondary damage

That’s why stabilization is often step one.

How To Get Faster Help (What to Say)

When you call, lead with:

• “active leak” / “water entering home”

• location (ceiling, window line, chimney, etc.)

• any visible damage from ground

• whether electricity is affected

• whether you need stabilization (tarping)

Clear info = faster triage.

What To Do While Waiting

• contain water

• turn off breaker if necessary

• photograph damage

• avoid roof climbing

• use fans once intrusion is stopped

FAQ

• Can roofers respond at night? Sometimes, but safety and conditions control this.

• Will you tarp in the rain? If safe; otherwise the first safe window.

• Does emergency service cost more? Sometimes; still cheaper than water damage.

• Can you stop every leak in one visit? Not always—multiple entry points happen.

• How do I avoid delays? Provide clear details and easy access.
