Emergency Roof Repair in Boise: Who to Call and What Happens First

If your roof is leaking right now or a storm just opened it up, call Dodd Roofing and Exteriors at (208) 295-9421. We handle emergency roof repair and tarping across Boise, Meridian, Nampa, and the whole Treasure Valley, and the first goal is always the same: stop water from getting in tonight, then plan the real repair in daylight.

What counts as a roofing emergency

Active leaking into the living space, a tree limb or debris through the deck, shingles stripped down to bare underlayment or wood, and storm damage with more weather on the way. If water is reaching drywall, insulation, or electrical, it is an emergency. A missing shingle on a dry week is urgent, not an emergency, and it books as a fast standard repair.

What to do in the first hour

Move belongings out from under the leak, catch water in containers, and poke a small drain hole in any ceiling bulge so it drains where you choose instead of bursting. Stay off the roof. Take photos of everything for your insurance file. Then make the call. Our guide to what to do when a roof leaks during a storm walks through this step by step.

What we do when we arrive

Emergency work is about containment: professional tarping over the damaged section, temporary sealing at penetrations, and documenting the damage while it is fresh. That documentation matters, because storm caused emergencies usually become insurance claims, and the photos from day one carry the claim. See how our storm damage and insurance process works from first call to final shingle.

After the tarp: the permanent repair

A tarp buys weeks, not seasons. Once the weather clears we scope the permanent repair or replacement, walk your adjuster through the damage if insurance is involved, and schedule the work. Read about emergency roof tarping and our roof repair services.
