Emergency repair
Sometimes unexpected events require the immediate attention of a professional roofer.
Spangler Roof Systems has an emergency response crew that is attentive 24/7. With years of experience to solve any roofing emergency.
What to do before we get there
Two things matter in the first hour, and neither one involves going on the roof. Do not climb up in a storm, in the dark, or onto a wet roof — every year that decision does more damage to people than the leak does to the house.
- Move what you can out from under the leak and put a container beneath it.
- If water is pooling in a ceiling and it is bulging, put a bucket underneath and pierce the bulge with a screwdriver at the low point. Controlled release beats the whole ceiling coming down at once.
- Cut power to any circuit near the water at the breaker.
- Photograph everything — the ceiling, the walls, the contents, and the exterior if it is safe. Timestamped photos are what an adjuster wants.
- Call us. Then call your insurance carrier and open the claim.
How the emergency response works
The first visit is about stopping the water, not finishing the roof. The crew secures and dries in the damaged section — tarping, temporary decking, or an emergency patch depending on what failed — so the interior stops taking damage while the weather is still bad.
The permanent repair happens on a scheduled return once conditions allow and, if a claim is involved, once the scope is agreed with your adjuster. We document the damage thoroughly on the first visit precisely because that is the evidence the claim will turn on.
One recent job: a fairly new roof damaged by a heavy tree branch in a storm, causing a leak a few days before Christmas. Our team showed up within the hour of their call and immediately secured the damaged section. We removed the damaged shingles and plywood underlayer, and replaced everything new. Total time on site was under two hours.

FAQs
Emergency Roof Repair — questions we get asked
Do you really answer 24/7?
Yes. Spangler Roof Systems has an emergency response crew that is attentive 24/7, and typically arrives within the hour for emergencies in the Lexington area. Call 859-376-7663.
How much does an emergency roof repair cost?
Emergency stabilisation and repair generally runs $650 to $3,000 depending on the extent of the damage and what has to be replaced. A recent tree-limb repair including new shingles and plywood underlayer ran $1,250 to $2,000. If the cause is a covered event, most of that goes on the claim.
Should I call you or my insurance company first?
Call us first if water is actively coming in — mitigation is your responsibility under the policy, and delaying it can reduce what the carrier pays. Then open the claim. We document everything on the first visit so the claim has evidence behind it.
Will tarping the roof affect my claim?
No — the opposite. Policies require you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage. Emergency tarping is exactly that, and the cost of it is normally recoverable as part of the claim.
