Urgent roof repair services for active leaks, storm damage, and structural emergencies across Greater Montreal. Fast response when your roof cannot wait.
Roof emergencies do not follow business hours, and in Montreal, the weather that causes them can be severe. Heavy spring rainstorms, winter ice storms, sudden wind events, and falling trees can all cause immediate damage that requires urgent attention to prevent water from entering the building and causing interior damage. Our emergency roofing service provides rapid response for situations where waiting for a scheduled appointment is not an option.
The most common roofing emergencies in Montreal include active leaks during rainstorms, wind-lifted shingles or membrane sections that expose the roof deck, ice dam water infiltration during winter, structural damage from fallen branches or trees, and catastrophic failures of aging flat roof membranes. Each situation requires a different response, but the immediate goal is always the same: stop water from entering the building as quickly as possible.
Our emergency response process begins with assessment. We determine the source and extent of the damage, then implement protective measures to stop active water entry. This may involve emergency tarping, temporary patching with compatible materials, sealing open seams or lifted flashings, or removing debris that is holding water on the roof surface. For structural damage from fallen trees, we coordinate safe removal of the tree and secure the opening before weather exposure causes additional damage.
After the immediate emergency is stabilized, we provide a full assessment of the damage and a plan for permanent repair. Some emergency situations can be permanently resolved with targeted repairs, while others reveal underlying conditions that warrant a more comprehensive approach. We document all damage thoroughly, which is useful for insurance claims. We work with homeowners through the insurance process and can provide the documentation and estimates that insurers require. Our goal is to get your home protected immediately and then work with you on the best long-term solution.

FAQ for this service
We prioritize emergency calls and respond as quickly as possible. Response time depends on the current volume of calls and weather conditions, but we make every effort to reach active emergencies the same day. For truly critical situations like active water entry during a storm, we deploy crews as fast as conditions safely allow.
Place containers to catch dripping water and move valuables away from the leak area. If water is pooling on the ceiling, carefully poke a small hole to let it drain into a container rather than allowing it to spread and potentially collapse the ceiling. Do not go on the roof yourself, especially in wet or icy conditions.
Most homeowner insurance policies cover sudden and accidental damage from storms, wind, hail, and fallen trees. They typically do not cover damage from lack of maintenance or gradual deterioration. We document all emergency damage thoroughly with photos and descriptions to support your insurance claim.
Temporary emergency measures like tarping and patching are designed to stop immediate water entry, not to serve as long-term solutions. They can hold effectively for days to weeks depending on conditions, giving time to plan and execute a permanent repair. We always follow up with a permanent repair plan.
We provide detailed documentation including photos, measurements, damage descriptions, and repair estimates that your insurance company will need. We can work directly with your adjuster if needed. We do not file claims on your behalf, but we support the process with the technical information required.
