I needed a roof repair very quickly because rain was coming in. I reached out and they replied almost immediately. He came out, conducted an inspection that afternoon and by the end of the week it was handled.

Roof leak repair near me: what to do right now
What to do right now if your roof is leaking
First, stay safe — never climb onto a wet or storm-damaged roof. Move furniture and electronics away from the leak and put down buckets and towels. If water is pooling in a bulging ceiling, poke a small hole at the lowest point to drain it into a bucket and relieve the pressure. Turn off power to any light fixture with water in it. Take photos of the damage inside and out for your insurance. Then call a roofer to tarp the roof.
Emergency roof tarping in Tacoma
A properly installed tarp is the fastest way to protect your home until a permanent repair. We run the tarp over the ridge when possible, secure it with wood battens, and seal the edges so water sheds off instead of pooling. Good tarping prevents interior damage and shows your insurer you took reasonable steps to protect the home.
From emergency fix to permanent repair
After the emergency, we inspect the whole roof and tell you honestly whether a repair is enough or the roof is near the end of its life. If the damage came from a storm, we help with the insurance claim. Either way, you get a written price before any permanent work starts.
What's included in our emergency roof repair
- Phone triage so you know what to do immediately
- Emergency roof tarping secured over the damaged area
- Removal of fallen limbs and debris from the roof
- Leak tracing from the attic and roof surface
- Temporary flashing or shingle repair to stop active leaks
- Photo documentation for your insurance claim
- Permanent repair or replacement plan with a clear price
Signs you need emergency roof repair
- Water dripping through a ceiling, light fixture or skylight
- Shingles or ridge caps torn off after high winds
- A tree or large branch on the roof
- Sagging ceiling drywall with water behind it
- Daylight visible through the roof deck in the attic
Materials
Emergency tarps are heavy-duty, UV-resistant poly secured with battens so wind can't get under them — not loose tarps held down with bricks. Permanent repairs use matching architectural shingles, corrosion-resistant flashing and synthetic underlayment, so the fix lasts as long as the rest of your roof.
Built for Pacific NW weather
Most Tacoma roof emergencies happen during winter windstorms and atmospheric-river rain, when gusts lift shingles and steady rain finds every gap. Because storms often come back-to-back, getting a tarp on quickly matters — every extra day of rain means more water in your insulation and framing.
Typical timeline
Call (253) 363-1948 and we'll talk you through next steps right away. Tarping is usually done as soon as the crew can safely get on the roof. Permanent repairs are typically completed in one visit once the weather allows.

Excellent work. Worked non stop each day to complete the job in a few days. Did a lot of repairs along the way to make sure it was going to last. Highly Recommend.

The house I rent needed a new roof. The owners live out of state, so I volunteered to find a good contractor. By word of mouth, I found DHT and we could not be happier with the result.

Emergency Roof Repair FAQ
Do you offer emergency roof repair in Tacoma?
Yes. Call (253) 363-1948 for an active leak or storm damage and we'll get your roof tarped and repaired as quickly as we safely can.
How much does emergency roof tarping cost?
It depends on the size of the damaged area and roof pitch. We'll give you a price on the phone or on-site before we start.
Will insurance pay for emergency roof repairs?
Many policies cover emergency tarping and repairs after sudden storm or tree damage. We document everything with photos for your claim.
Should I try to tarp the roof myself?
We don't recommend it. Wet, damaged roofs are dangerous. Focus on protecting the inside of your home and let a roofing crew handle the roof.
