Emergency Roof Inspection

Water coming through the ceiling? Tree limb on the roof? Post-storm damage you need documented before the insurance adjuster arrives? Same-day emergency inspection across NM — 4-hour ABQ response, dated + GPS photo documentation, and immediate tarp-or-not scope.

What you get

A defensible written report — not a sales pitch

4-hour response window in ABQ metro during storm events

Same-day across the greater metro (Rio Rancho, Corrales, East Mts, Los Lunas)

Dated + GPS photo documentation for insurance first-notice-of-loss

Immediate tarp-vs-repair scope with emergency-response roofer contacts

Phone triage after-hours with 30-minute tarp/no-tarp answer

Written report next business day for the adjuster inspection

Scope of work

What this covers

Phone or text triage on arrival — you describe what's happening while I'm en route. Field arrival within response window with camera, moisture meter, tarp gear (for immediate access if you've bought one), and IR camera. Interior first: locate active water entry, isolate the drip path, get the moisture meter mapping done. Roof-side: identify the failure — tree limb, wind-lifted shingle, missing tile, failed flashing, ice-dam driven water. Dated + GPS-tagged photo grid for insurance first-notice-of-loss. Immediate tarp-vs-repair scope. If tarp is right, contact info for emergency-response roofers I trust (I don't take referral fees). Written report next business day for the adjuster inspection — same format as an insurance claim inspection.

Right fit

Who this is for

Homeowners with active water entry during or after a storm. Owners with tree, hail, or wind damage needing immediate documentation. Owners the morning after a big storm who need adjuster-ready photos before the next storm hits. Property managers with a tenant reporting active leak. Real estate buyers who discovered active leak during walkthrough.

FAQ

Common questions

How fast can you get here?

Within 4 hours in the ABQ metro during storm events, same-day within 8 hours across the greater metro (Rio Rancho, Corrales, Placitas, East Mountains, Los Lunas, Belen, Bernalillo). Santa Fe / Las Cruces / Farmington: same-day if I'm nearby, next-day otherwise. Call the sticky click-to-call button — that gets tracked as an urgent lead and jumps the queue.

Do you tarp the roof yourself?

No — I inspect, document, and give you a repair-vs-tarp scope, but I don't do the physical tarp or repair work. I keep contact info for 3–4 emergency-response roofers who tarp reliably and don't upsell during a crisis. See /tarp-a-leak for the emergency workflow.

What about after-hours or weekends?

Weekends yes, evenings until dusk yes. Overnight I do phone triage: you send me photos + video, I give you an emergency tarp/no-tarp call within 30 minutes, and I book the field inspection first thing the next morning. Insurance carriers accept dated phone-triage documentation as first-notice-of-loss evidence.

I've watched too many neighbors sign contracts they didn't understand for roofs they didn't need. That stops with a written report they own.
