Common Questions
Answers to the questions Missoula homeowners ask us most.
More urgent than most homeowners expect. Even a small gap in the shingles or flashing lets water into the decking and insulation within hours, and what starts as a $600 patch can turn into a much larger repair if it sits for a few days. If you can see daylight through the roof or water is actively coming in, treat it as same-day.
It depends on how much of the roof is affected and its age and condition. A single damaged section on an otherwise sound roof is usually a repair; widespread hail damage, multiple leaks, or a roof already near the end of its lifespan usually points to replacement. We give an honest read on the call, not an automatic upsell.
A full asphalt shingle replacement typically runs $9,000–$15,000 for an average home, more for architectural shingle or metal. An emergency tarp-over to stabilize things in the meantime runs $300–$800. Every estimate is based on a real inspection, not a phone guess.
Often, yes — most homeowner policies cover sudden storm, wind, and hail damage, though coverage details vary by policy and insurer. We document the damage on-site and can walk your specific situation through with you.
Yes. Our Insurance Claims Coordinator meets adjusters on-site and works directly with them on the claim, so you’re not navigating the process alone while your roof is under a tarp.
Most active-leak and storm-damage calls get a same-day response. A full replacement is typically scheduled within the week once the estimate, insurance details (if applicable), and materials are confirmed.
A properly installed tarp-over can hold for a few weeks in most conditions, but it’s a stopgap, not a permanent fix — we’ll tell you honestly how long yours should reasonably hold and get a permanent repair or replacement scheduled before then.
Yes — every crew is licensed and insured, and we’re glad to provide documentation for your insurance company or lender if it’s needed.
