What counts as a roof emergency

Anything that lets water into the house right now: an active leak, a hole from a fallen limb, sections of shingles blown off, or flashing torn loose around a chimney. The sooner the water is stopped, the less damage there is to insulation, drywall and floors.

What to do during a roof leak

Stay off the roof, especially in rain, wind or ice. Inside, catch the water, move furniture and electronics, and if a ceiling is bulging with water, poke a small hole in the center of the bulge to let it drain into a bucket so the whole ceiling does not come down.

Take photos of the damage inside and out. They help with any insurance claim.

How Herts handles emergencies

We answer 24/7, tarp with proper materials instead of a loose sheet, and document the damage with photos before and after. When it is time for the permanent fix, the same crew does it. Book a free inspection.

Emergency roof repair questions

Do you really answer 24/7?

Yes. Call 908-206-4240 any time, day or night. We will tell you what to do right away and get a crew out to secure the roof.

Will a tarp stop the leak?

A properly installed tarp, secured over the damaged area and past the ridge, stops most leaks until a permanent repair can be made. We check it and fix the roof as soon as conditions allow.

Can you help with an insurance claim?

We inspect, photograph and document the damage, and we can meet your adjuster at the house. Whether a claim is approved is up to your insurer, and we never waive or cover deductibles.

Will you fix it permanently too?

Yes. After the roof is secured we give you a written price for the permanent repair and schedule it as soon as the weather allows.

Towns we serve

We work across Union County and North and Central Jersey, plus the Lehigh Valley in Pennsylvania.
