Stay off the roof — wet shingles, hidden damage and power lines make emergency climbs genuinely dangerous. Inside, move furniture and electronics, catch water in containers, and photograph everything for your insurance file. If a ceiling bulges with water, a careful puncture into a bucket relieves weight before it collapses. Turn off power to a room if water reaches fixtures. Then call +1 470-613-9333 and keep your policy details handy.
A tarp only works if it is sized, positioned and secured correctly — draped over the damage peak-to-eave so water sheds over it, anchored without driving fasteners through sound shingles where avoidable, and checked at edges where wind gets underneath. Poorly hung tarps fail in the next storm cell and can tear off more material. We install emergency protection as the first phase of a documented repair, then return for permanent work when conditions allow.
Once your home is dry, we inspect the full slope — emergency damage often hides creased shingles and loosened flashing beyond the obvious hole. You get photos, a written scope and October 2026 pricing context: most permanent repairs run $300–$1,500, though structural or multi-slope damage can exceed that and we will say so plainly. Remember that wind and hail deductibles often run 1–2% of Coverage A, and no legitimate Georgia roofer can waive yours — that is illegal.
