What to do before we get there
Get people and pets away from the wet area
If a ceiling is sagging or water is near lights or outlets, stay out of that room and switch off the circuit at the panel if you can do it safely.
Catch the water
Buckets, towels, a tarp or a shower curtain on the floor. Move furniture, rugs and electronics out of the way.
Take photos before you move anything
The ceiling, the floor, the yard and the roof from the ground. Photos taken before cleanup are what your insurer will ask for.
Stay off the roof
Wet shingles in wind are how people get hurt. That part is our job.
Call your insurance company
Keep every receipt from here on, including ours. The Maryland Insurance Administration tells homeowners to cover holes in the roof as quickly as possible if it's safe, save receipts, and hold off on permanent repairs until they've talked to their insurer.
What happens when we get there
We start with the same look we give any roof: on the roof, from the ground, and in the attic if the leak has reached it. Every damaged spot gets photographed before anything gets covered, so the record of the damage exists before the fix does.
Then we stop the water. That's one of two things.
An emergency tarp
When the damage is large: missing sections, a limb through the deck, a big area of lifted shingles. Fastened over the damaged area and past it, so wind can't get under it.
A temporary patch
When the damage is small and contained: a few creased or torn shingles, a lifted flashing. Underlayment or replacement shingles go in over the open spot the same visit.
One April night in Hagerstown
In April 2025, a microburst tore through a Hagerstown neighborhood.
One homeowner called us, and we were on his roof the same evening. Emergency patches went down before dark.
Wind-creased and torn shingles, marked in chalk across several slopes and photographed before anything was covered.
The patches held through the spring. In June we came back and replaced the roof.
That's how an emergency job usually runs here: stop the water first, document everything, then plan the permanent fix with the homeowner and their insurer instead of in a hurry.
What counts as an emergency
Call right away when
- Water is coming through a ceiling, a light fixture or down an inside wall.
- Shingles, flashing or a section of roof decking has blown off and rain is coming.
- A tree or a large limb has hit the roof.
- Ice has backed water up under the shingles and it's dripping inside.
It can usually wait for a scheduled repair when
- You've found a few shingles in the yard but nothing is wet inside.
- There's an old, dry stain on a ceiling that hasn't grown.
- A gutter is hanging loose but the roof itself is intact.
Not sure? Call anyway. If it can wait, we'll say so and book a normal inspection, which is free.
Washington County weather is why this page exists
Storms here move fast. On the night of April 19, 2025, at least a dozen trees came down across Hagerstown.
Winter brings a slower kind of emergency. Snow melts on a roof warmed by the attic, refreezes at the cold edge, and the ice holds back water that finds its way under the shingles. That leak shows up inside on a dry, sunny day, which is why people don't think "roof" at first.
What emergency roof repair costs
These are 2026 ranges, not a quote.
Emergency tarp, national average
Angi's 2026 figure. Most homeowners pay between $150 and $3,300, depending on how big the damaged area is, how hard the roof is to reach, and whether it's an emergency call.
Our minimum repair
The permanent repair after the emergency is priced like any repair we do.
A small repair
One leak or a flashing reseal. Larger storm damage often becomes an insurance claim or a replacement. See roof leak repair cost for what moves that number.
Financing is available with terms up to 144 months, subject to credit approval.
If it's going to be an insurance claim
Most homeowners policies cover sudden damage, like wind, hail or a fallen tree, and expect you to protect the house from further damage once it happens. Standard policy wording pays the reasonable cost of necessary repairs made only to protect the property from further damage. That's the emergency tarp or patch.
The permanent repair is different. Hold off until you've talked to your insurer, because work done before they've seen the damage may not be reimbursed. More on the process on our storm damage page.
Not an emergency?

Emergency roof repair FAQs
How fast can you get here?
Most days, the same day and often within a couple of hours. When we can't make it the same day, it's within 24 hours, and we'll tell you which when you call. After a big storm, when every roofer's phone is ringing, active leaks go first.
Do you answer calls at night or on weekends?
Yes. After hours, our answering team takes your details and passes them to Brandon and Chris, who review them that night. Our crews work Saturday 9 AM to 1 PM. We don't work Sundays, so a Sunday call gets reviewed and answered, but the visit itself is usually the next working day.
Will my insurance pay for an emergency tarp?
Usually, when the damage itself is covered. Most policies expect you to protect the house from further damage and pay the reasonable cost of doing it. Keep the receipt and the photos, and call your insurer before any permanent repair.
How long can a tarp stay on?
Treat it as days to weeks, not a season. Wind and sun break tarps down, and water can still find its way in at the edges. Plan the permanent repair as soon as your insurer has seen the damage.
Should I get on the roof and tarp it myself?
We'd rather you didn't. Wet shingles and wind are a bad combination, and a tarp nailed through good shingles in the wrong place adds holes. Catch the water inside, take photos, and call us.
Hear From Our Customers
On February 7, 2026, a severe windstorm pulled several shingles off my roof. When I went out the next day to collect some of the fallen pieces, I was surprised to see how deteriorated they were—what looked fine from the ground was actually in pretty bad shape up close. A trusted friend recommended Home Source Roofing out of Williamsport, Maryland, and I’m glad they did. Michele from Home Source came out on February 11 to assess the damage using both a drone and a ground inspection. She recommended immediate tarping due to incoming rain, and it was completed the very next day—just in time, because we had several days of heavy rain right after. I also had Home Source look at a gutter and downspout issue that was contributing to shingle problems. They recommended a solution, and I chose to have that work done in addition to the roof replacement. Shortly after, I received a very reasonable quote with two package options using GAF Timberline HDZ shingles in Hunter Green. I chose the Gold package, which offered additional protection with upgraded underlayment and enhanced vent covers. Both options featured 50-year shingles, which gave me great peace of mind. On March 18, the crew arrived right on time and got straight to work. The entire process was incredibly organized and efficient. They started by laying protective tarps over my porches and yard, then moved seamlessly through removing the old shingles, making necessary repairs, and installing the new roof. The onsite lead, Christian, kept everything running smoothly and maintained great communication throughout the project. The owner, Brian, also personally stopped by on the day of installation to ensure everything was proceeding as planned, which I really appreciated. In addition, Rene from Home Source stopped by to review and coordinate the upcoming gutter and downspout work, working directly with Superior Seamless Gutters LLC to ensure everything was aligned. At one point during the tear-off, my porch was completely covered in old shingles—it looked a little wild—but by the time they finished, everything was spotless. You would never know they had been there. I’ve included before-and-after photos to show the condition of the old shingles and the quality of the finished roof. Overall, this was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The professionalism, responsiveness, attention to detail, and cleanup exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Home Source Roofing to anyone in need of roofing services!

Anytime I had a question, it was answered quickly and efficiently, which gave us a lot of confidence in the process. The pricing was very fair, and we feel we received a great value for the quality of work provided. On top of that, their crew did a fantastic job cleaning up our property once the work was finished, leaving everything neat and tidy. Overall, HomeSource Roofing was professional, efficient, and easy to work with. We are very pleased with the results and highly recommend them!

May 11, 2026 - I have an Excellent experience with Home Source Roofing from start to finish. John Moye is a very professional, knowledgeable, explained everything clearly and easy to work with. The team arrived on time, and the quality of work was outstanding, especially cleanup was very neat. The whole process was smooth for 1 day job. I'm highly recommend!
Knowledgeable, friendly, did a excellent job in a day, and I would recommend them. I got the architectural shingles rated for 130 mph winds. Less than 3 weeks or so from the time they came out to look, to complete roof installation.
Huge shout out to JR and his crew!!! I can't believe how fast our roof went on and how good it looks! Home source will definitely be my go to from now on. Thanks guys
