24/7 Emergency Roof Repair
When water is coming into your house, you do not need a contact form and a callback window. You need a roofer who answers the phone at 2 AM and knows what to do next.

We are based in Tacoma
So how fast we arrive depends on where you are and what the storm is doing to the roads. We will give you an honest arrival estimate on the phone, and practical steps to protect the house until we get there.
What Counts as a Roofing Emergency
If you are asking whether it is an emergency, describe it to us on the phone and we will tell you straight. As a rule, these cannot wait for a scheduled appointment:
Active Leaking
Water dripping from a ceiling, running down a wall, or pooling in light fixtures. However small it looks, it has already soaked everything between the roof and that drip.
Storm and Wind Damage
Shingles stripped in patches, ridge caps gone, or metal panels lifted. The roof may shed the next shower, but not the next storm.
A Fallen Branch or Tree Strike
Impact damage usually breaks decking, not just shingles. Treat any strike as an open roof until a roofer has looked at it.
A Sudden Sag or New Interior Crack After Weather
These can signal structural damage from saturated framing. Stay out of the room and call.
Widespread Shingle Loss on An Older Roof
When wind finds one weak shingle on an aging roof, it usually finds fifty. The exposed underlayment is not built to be the roof for long.
Two things that are urgent but not tonight-urgent: a slow stain that has not changed in weeks, and moss damage. Book those as a standard roof repair visit and save the emergency call for the real thing. We would rather you call and be wrong than wait and be right.
What We Do When We Arrive
Emergency response has a job order, and it does not start with a sales pitch:
Stop the water
If the roof cannot be made watertight on the spot, we install an emergency tarp, properly secured against the wind that caused the problem in the first place.
Photograph and document everything
Before and after we cover it. This record feeds your insurance claim and the repair estimate, and it is much harder to create after the fact.
Stabilize what is damaged
Loose material that can blow off, hanging gutter sections, displaced flashing: we secure what the next gust would otherwise finish.
Tell you what happens next
Before we leave you get a plain-language rundown of what failed, what we did tonight, and a written free estimate for the permanent repair.
What we do not do at midnight: permanent roofing work in the rain, or pressure you into replacement decisions while there is a bucket in your hallway.
Emergencies get stabilized; decisions get made in daylight.
We Work With Your Insurance Company
Storm damage usually means an insurance claim, and the first hours matter more than most homeowners realize. Canyon Roofing Northwest handles the roofer's side of the claim properly.
Your first two calls after storm damage should be to us and your insurer, in either order. Preventing further damage is both your policy's expectation and the point of everything in what we do when we arrive.
Documentation from the first visit
Time-stamped photos of the damage before tarping, the tarping work itself, and everything we find during the full inspection.
We meet your adjuster
When the insurance company schedules its damage walk, we attend and go over the roof with them, so the person who found the damage is standing next to the person evaluating it.
Roof certifications
When a claim or a home sale requires a certification of the roof's condition, we provide it.
No claim promises
We do not decide what your policy covers and we will never tell you a claim is guaranteed. What we control is the quality of the evidence, and we control it well.
After the Emergency:
The Permanent Repair
A tarp and a stabilized roof are the end of the emergency, not the end of the job. The permanent fix follows on your schedule and your insurer's:
Most storm damage resolves as a roof repair
Replaced shingles or panels, rebuilt flashing, patched decking, matched materials. You get the same crew that answered the emergency call, working from the photos they took that night.
Some damage reveals a roof at the end of its life
If the storm exposed widespread failure, we will show you the replacement and re-sheet options with the evidence, not adjectives. The tarp buys you time to make that decision properly.
Either way, the estimate is free and written
You are never obligated to use us for the permanent work, though most homeowners prefer the roofer who already knows what is under the tarp.
Ready for the Permanent Repair?
Once the emergency is under control, the next step is getting your roof properly repaired. Whether you need replacement shingles, new flashing, decking repairs, or a complete roof replacement, we can assess the damage and explain what needs to be done.
Have questions about the permanent repair process or what comes next? Contact us today. We’ll help you understand your options and take the next step with confidence.
Why Homeowners Choose Canyon Roofing Northwest
Canyon Roofing Northwest responds to roofing emergencies from our Tacoma base at 5324 84th St E, serving Tacoma, Puyallup, Lakewood, University Place, Gig Harbor, South Hill, Spanaway, Bonney Lake, and Sumner, plus South King County (Federal Way, Auburn, Kent), Thurston County (Olympia, Lacey), Kitsap County (Port Orchard, Bremerton), the Olympic Peninsula (Port Townsend, Sequim, Port Angeles), Kittitas County (Ellensburg, Cle Elum), and north to Everett.
The far edges of that map take longer to reach, especially mid-storm. When you call, we will tell you honestly when we can be there and what to do in the meantime: where to put containers, when to punch a small drain hole in a bulging ceiling, and when to stay out of a room entirely.
Why South Sound Roofs Fail When They Fail
Our emergency calls are not random. They cluster around the same weather patterns every year, and knowing them helps you get ahead of the phone call.
None of this is a reason to fear your roof. It is a reason to fix small problems in the dry season and to save our number for the wet one.
Fall Windstorms
The first big southerly of the season finds every shingle that summer loosened. If your roof is over 15 years old, the cheapest emergency call is the inspection you book in September instead.
Atmospheric Rivers
Days of continuous rain do not create leaks, they reveal them. A flashing gap that sheds a normal shower gives up on hour 30 of steady rain.
Saturated Trees
Evergreens carry enormous weight when soaked, and root systems loosen in saturated soil. Most of our impact-damage calls come mid-storm, from trees that looked fine that morning.
Rare Snow and Ice
Roofs here are built for rain. When snow does arrive, freeze-thaw cycles pry at flashing and gutters built for a different job.
Emergency Roof Repair Questions
Do you really answer at night and on weekends?
Yes. Emergency response is 24/7, year round. Regular scheduled work runs Monday through Friday 7 to 5 with weekends by appointment, but the emergency line does not keep those hours.
How fast can you get here?
It depends on your location and conditions; we are based in Tacoma and serve a wide area, so we give you a real arrival estimate when you call instead of promising a number we might miss. You will not be left wondering.
What should I do while I wait?
Contain the water with buckets and towels, move belongings and electronics out of the drip zone, and stay off the roof entirely. If a ceiling is bulging with water, a single small hole punched at the low point with a screwdriver, with a bucket underneath, releases it in a controlled way. We will walk you through it on the phone.
Will you repair the roof the same night?
We stabilize the same night: tarping, securing loose material, stopping the water. Permanent repairs in darkness and rain produce bad roofs, so the lasting fix is scheduled for workable conditions, usually within days.
Should I call you or my insurance company first?
Either order works, but do both quickly. Your insurer opens the claim; we prevent further damage and document everything the claim will need, including meeting your adjuster on site when the damage walk happens.
