The first half hour of a roof emergency

Do these in order. The first two protect people, the last two protect your claim and get a crew moving.

  1. Minutes 0 to 5

    Make the room safe

    Move people and valuables out from under the leak. If water is near an outlet, light fixture or ceiling fan, switch that circuit off at the breaker, but only if the panel is dry and you do not have to stand in water. A ceiling that bulges with water can drop without warning, so keep out from under it.

  2. Minutes 5 to 15

    Catch the water, do not chase it

    Put a bucket under the drip with a towel around it to stop the splash. Water often runs along a rafter before it shows, so the stain is rarely under the hole. Stay off the roof: a wet roof is a fall risk at any hour.

  3. Minutes 15 to 25

    Photograph it and write down the time

    Take dated photos and video of the ceiling, the floor and anything damaged, before you clean up. Write down when you first saw water. Insurers ask for both. In Texas, the insurer has to acknowledge a claim within 15 days (Tex. Ins. Code §542.055(a)(1)), so the clock starts when you report it.

  4. Minutes 25 to 30

    Call, and ask four things

    Ask: is a crew free today, will you tarp first and quote the permanent repair after, what is the dispatch or tarp fee before you drive out, and can you send your license number? For Texas: No statewide roofing license; permit rules are set locally. 21 of the 21 roofers listed for Amarillo are based in town; 21 are within 25 miles.

Where the roofers who cover Amarillo are based

21 roofers are listed for Amarillo. The map shows the town each one is based in, sized by how many, from the public records we compiled. We hold no response times and no roofer has told us it runs a 24-hour crew, so this shows reach, not arrival time: ask for the dispatch time when you call.

A severe Amarillo hail event can puncture older membrane or create impact fractures that let the next rain through — if you see daylight through a vent or active dripping, emergency patching cannot wait on an insurance timeline. Emergency tarping stops active loss and preserves your insurance claim — documenting damage with photos before any work begins keeps the adjuster scope clean. Availability varies by crew, so ask each contractor how soon they can get on site.

Last big hail on record

Strongest tornado

EF1 · June 13, 2016

It stayed on the ground for 1.24 miles and was up to 100 yards wide. The tornado began just west of Highway 136 in extreme eastern Potter County. Storm chasers witnessed the tornado form and cross the highway. One power pole was snapped along Highway 136 which was consistent with EF1 Damage.

Strongest thunderstorm gust

93 mph · June 14, 2015

The KVII School Net site located 3 miles east of Bushland measured persistent wind gusts between 70 and 80 mph as the thunderstorm moved through. A peak wind of 93 mph was measured at 6:35 PM CDT.

What it means for emergency roof repair

The storm record for Potter County includes a 93-mph thunderstorm gust and a EF1 tornado. Wind that strong lifts shingles and tears off flashing, which is why emergency tarping crews book out fast after a front.

Emergency Roof Repair in Amarillo: questions

How do I find a emergency roof repair company in Amarillo?
PickARoofer lists roofing companies serving Amarillo, TX. This is a general roofing directory; confirm emergency roof repair experience and availability with each company. A Verified badge describes a separate registry check, not a confirmed service specialty or insurance check. Confirm scope, insurance and availability directly. Requests go to one contractor at a time, with up to three attempts; a response or start date is not guaranteed. Free for homeowners.
Will insurance pay for storm-related emergency roof repair in Amarillo?
Coverage, deductibles and reporting deadlines depend on your policy and circumstances. Document damage safely, contact your insurer promptly and ask for a written repair scope. This directory cannot determine coverage.
How fast can a roofer reach Amarillo?
21 roofers are listed for Amarillo: 21 based in town and 21 within 25 miles of the city centre. None of them has told us it runs an emergency crew, and our roster holds no response times, so we cannot promise an arrival time. Call first, ask when a crew can be on site and what the tarp fee is, then send the request so a second roofer is lined up.
When is hail season in Amarillo?
May is the worst month: 38% of the 226 hail reports NOAA holds for the county came then. Reports run from April to September. Book the inspection before April, while crews still have open dates.
How big does hail get near Amarillo?
The largest hail NOAA logged near Amarillo measured 3 inches, about the size of a teacup. Hail of an inch or more fell on 62 days in the same record. The biggest day was May 16, 2016, with 8 reports. The National Weather Service calls hail of 1 inch or larger severe; the bigger the stone, the more likely it is to crack a shingle.
How many roofing companies work around Amarillo?
The Census Bureau counts 15 roofing companies with payroll in Potter County, employing about 111 people. 53.3% of them have fewer than five employees, so most quotes come from owner-run crews. A roofer's median pay is $46,030 a year (BLS).
How long does a Texas insurer have to answer a roof claim?
Texas sets time limits in writing. For example, the insurer must acknowledge your claim within 15 days (Tex. Ins. Code §542.055(a)(1)). The full list and a date calculator are on our Texas claim-deadlines page: pickaroofer.com/claim-deadlines/tx.
How old are the homes in Amarillo, and does it matter for the roof?
The median home in Amarillo was built in 1972, and 61% of homes date from before 1980 (Census ACS). A roof on a home that old has often been re-covered at least once, so ask the roofer whether there is a second layer underneath: it changes the tear-off cost. The area sees about 79 freeze-thaw days a year, which loosens flashing and sealant.
What qualifies as a roofing emergency in Amarillo?
True roofing emergencies involve active water entering living spaces — especially near electrical — large sections of missing shingles or membrane after a storm, visible structural damage such as sagging decking, a fallen tree or large branch on the roof, or any situation where interior damage is actively worsening. When in doubt, call: water damage compounds rapidly and repairs that cost hundreds of dollars addressed same-day can cost thousands if left overnight into framing and insulation.
What does emergency roof repair cost in Amarillo?
Emergency tarping to stop active leaks runs $200 to $600 for most Amarillo properties, depending on roof size and accessibility. Permanent emergency repairs — patching damaged sections, replacing blown-off shingles — cost $500 to $3,000 for typical scopes. After-hours and weekend emergency calls typically add a dispatch fee on top of material and labor. If the damage is storm-related, document it before work begins: most homeowner policies cover emergency storm repairs, and the documentation anchors your claim.
Do I need a permit for emergency roof repair in Texas?
Permit requirements depend on the property, scope of work and local jurisdiction. Check with the city or county building department and confirm who will obtain any required permit before work starts.
