Every hour a damaged roof sits exposed, the damage spreads. Water reaches the underlayment, soaks the sheathing, wets the insulation, and stains the ceiling. A $500 repair becomes a $5,000 repair. Shutesbury Roofing & Maintenance's emergency crew stops the progression by tarping and sealing the same day you call.
Ice dam emergencies happen in MA winters. Ice builds up along the eave, backs water under the shingles, and leaks into the soffit, fascia, and interior walls. Shutesbury Roofing & Maintenance removes the ice dam, installs emergency ice-and-water shield where possible, and schedules a permanent fix with proper eave protection for next winter.
Our Emergency Roof Repair Process
Emergency Call
You call, we respond. Tell us what happened and we'll have a crew headed your way. Active leaks and exposed deck get priority dispatch. We carry tarps, sealant, and repair materials on every truck.
Tarp & Contain
Emergency tarping and sealing. We cover exposed sheathing, plug active leak points, and remove any debris that could cause additional damage. The goal is containment — stop the water, stabilize the damage.
Damage Assessment
Thorough damage assessment: how many shingles are missing or damaged, which flashing points failed, whether the underlayment is compromised, and whether the roof deck sheathing absorbed water. All documented with annotated photos for insurance.
Fix It Right
We schedule the permanent repair within days. Blown-off shingles replaced, damaged flashing rebuilt, compromised underlayment and sheathing replaced. The emergency patch holds while we source materials and schedule the crew for a full restoration.
