Materials We Use for Emergency Repairs
We stock materials suited to San Jose’s climate: asphalt shingles (3-tab and architectural), synthetic underlayment, galvanized flashing, and heavy-duty polyethylene tarps (6 mil minimum). For tile or metal roofs, we use matching profiles to ensure seamless permanent repairs. All materials are sourced from local suppliers for fast availability.
Insurance & Warranty Information
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover emergency roof repairs caused by storms, fire, or vandalism. We work directly with your adjuster and provide detailed invoices and photos. Our emergency tarping carries a 30-day workmanship warranty, and all permanent repairs come with a 2-year labor warranty. We recommend filing a claim within 48 hours.
San Jose Climate Considerations
San Jose’s Mediterranean climate means dry summers but intense winter storms with heavy rain and occasional wind gusts over 40 mph. These conditions accelerate wear on aging roofs. Our emergency repairs are designed to withstand local weather — tarps are double-secured with battens to resist wind, and we use sealants rated for high UV exposure.
