Active ceiling drip
Water staining or actively dripping from a ceiling, light fixture, or wall during a storm. We respond fast to stop further interior damage.
What we handle
What we fix and how we approach it
Wind damaged roof
Santa Ana wind events that have lifted shingles, blown tiles off, or torn flashing loose. We secure the roof and prevent water intrusion.
Storm debris on the roof
Fallen tree limbs, palm fronds, or wind blown debris that punctured the roof surface or pulled a section apart.
Failed tarp from a prior contractor
Tarp from a previous emergency call that has come loose or is leaking around the edges. We can re tarp and quote the permanent repair.
Flat roof ponding and overflow
Standing water on a flat roof during heavy rain, drain backups, or membrane separation that is allowing water in.
Our process
From phone call to photo report
Phone triage
Call (833) 369-7663. We confirm address, type of leak, urgency, and dispatch the closest available crew.
On site stabilization
Crew arrives, tarps the active failure, redirects water if needed, and dries in the affected area. Goal: stop the water, protect the interior.
Same day or next business day quote
Senior roofer documents the failure with photos and provides a written quote for the permanent repair, usually within 24 hours.
Permanent repair
Scheduled at your convenience. Repaired by the same crew that knows the site. Final photo report delivered after completion.
Why this matters
What you should know before hiring any roofer
When a roof is actively leaking, time matters more than anything else. Every hour of standing water on an attic floor or a sagging ceiling is more damage to the structure, more mold risk, and more cost to repair. A real emergency response is not a marketing slogan. It is a phone that rings 24 hours a day and a crew that gets to your property fast.
American Roofing Pro has run a 24 7 emergency line in Los Angeles since 1993. The phone is answered by a person who knows roofing, not a call center. The dispatch is to a licensed and insured crew, not a subcontractor we have never met. If you are in greater Los Angeles or the San Fernando Valley and your roof is leaking right now, call (833) 369-7663. We will be there.
Emergency response is about stabilization first. We tarp the active failure, redirect water, dry in the affected area, and protect what is inside the home. Permanent repair happens next, on a schedule that works for you, with a written quote and a clear scope. The same crew that stabilized the leak does the permanent repair so nothing falls through the cracks.
Emergency calls carry a $3,500 minimum job charge that covers crew dispatch, materials, tarp install, dump fees, and the photo report. If the permanent repair is more complex, it is quoted in writing before any additional work begins. We do not surprise homeowners with bills during a crisis.
Owner promise: An owner or senior roofer is the person who inspects your roof and writes your quote. Not a salesperson. Not a subcontractor. The same person who quotes the job is on site when the work happens.

What Our Customers Say
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about emergency roof repair
Do you really answer the phone 24 7?
Yes. The phone line is staffed around the clock, including weekends and holidays. After 6 pm and on Sundays the answering specialist may take details and have the on call roofer return the call within 15 minutes.
How fast can you get to my house?
During business hours, typically within 1 to 3 hours anywhere in the San Fernando Valley or central Los Angeles. After hours, response time is usually 2 to 4 hours depending on weather and current emergency volume.
Will you tarp the roof so the leak stops tonight?
Yes. The first goal is to stop water intrusion. We tarp the active failure with heavy duty material rated for storm conditions, secured properly so it does not blow off during the rest of the storm.
How much does an emergency call cost?
Emergency calls carry a $3,500 minimum job charge that covers dispatch, tarp install, dump fees, and the photo report. Permanent repair scope is quoted in writing before any additional work begins.
Will my insurance cover an emergency call?
Often yes, if the damage is from a covered event like a windstorm. We provide the documentation your insurer needs. Tarping and emergency stabilization are typically covered under most homeowner policies.
Can you do the permanent repair the same day?
Sometimes, depending on scope and material availability. Usually permanent repair is scheduled within 1 to 5 business days. The tarp keeps the home dry in the meantime.
