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. 23 of the 23 roofers listed for Dallas are based in town; 23 are within 25 miles.

Where the roofers who cover Dallas are based

23 roofers are listed for Dallas. 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.

Strongest tornado

EF4 · December 26, 2015

It stayed on the ground for 9.21 miles and was up to 550 yards wide. The Garland and Rowlett tornado began in Sunnyvale, where several mobile homes were destroyed along a wide and long path. The full tornado length was a little over 13 miles, with nearly ten miles within Dallas County.

Strongest thunderstorm gust

96 mph · May 28, 2024

Intense thunderstorm winds produced significant damage across Garland. A NWS Storm Survey determined wind speeds up to 95 mph moved through the city. Widespread tree, fence, and minor roof damage was observed throughout much of Garland, consistent with straight line winds in the range of 65 - 80 mph.

What it means for emergency roof repair

The storm record for Dallas County includes a 96-mph thunderstorm gust and a EF4 tornado. Wind that strong lifts shingles and tears off flashing, which is why emergency tarping crews book out fast after a front.

What it costs in Dallas

Asphalt-shingle re-roof, 2,000 sq ft home, adjusted for Dallas labor and material prices. Your quote depends on roof size, pitch and scope.

That typical price is about 3.5% of the median Dallas home value ($295,300).

What Dallas's climate means for emergency roof repair

  • After tornado-force wind in Dallas, treat any exposed decking as urgent — overnight rain into an open roof multiplies the loss tenfold.
  • A severe Dallas hail event can puncture a roof outright; if you see daylight or active dripping, emergency patching can't wait on an insurance timeline.

Emergency Roof Repair in Dallas: questions

How do I find a emergency roof repair company in Dallas?
PickARoofer lists roofing companies serving Dallas, 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 Dallas?
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 Dallas?
23 roofers are listed for Dallas: 23 based in town and 23 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 Dallas?
April is the worst month: 30% of the 241 hail reports NOAA holds for the county came then. 97% of reports fall from March to October; the other 8 come in January (5), November (2), December (1). The hail record does not say when crews are free, so ask each roofer for its current start date.
How big does hail get near Dallas?
The largest hail NOAA logged near Dallas measured 4 inches, about the size of a grapefruit. Hail of an inch or more fell on 68 days in the same record. The biggest day was June 12, 2023, with 9 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 Dallas?
The Census Bureau counts 243 roofing companies with payroll in Dallas County, employing about 2,760 people. 72.4% of them have fewer than five employees, so most quotes come from owner-run crews. A roofer's median pay is $46,990 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 Dallas, and does it matter for the roof?
In the city of Dallas, the median home was built in 1980, and 49.5% 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 32 freeze-thaw days a year, which loosens flashing and sealant.
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.
