After the wind or hail

Storm damage and temporary tarping in Pittsburgh

This page is for coordinating limited after-storm help: loose gutters, a small safe tarp or board-up, and arranging a qualified roofer when the roof itself is the job. We do not promise a 24/7 dispatch, a set arrival window, or an insurance payout.

A coordinator arranges a qualified or licensed local pro when the work requires one. We do not promise 24/7 coverage or a guaranteed arrival window. For gas, fire, downed lines, or immediate danger, call 911 or the utility.

Tell us what came loose or opened, whether water is entering, and whether a walk or exit is blocked. If a power line is down, call the utility first.

Limited after-storm work we will actually arrange

If you need a roofer, you'll hear that. If you need a hanging gutter taken down or a small opening covered, that's this page.

Loose gutters and downspouts

Sections hanging off a fascia are a hazard and a water problem. They can often be taken down safely or reseated if the fascia is sound.

Temporary tarping or covering, when it's safe

A small, safe temporary cover can sometimes be arranged. A large or steep roof, or ice and high wind still in the area, may have to wait or go straight to a qualified roofer. We will not pretend we can tarp every roof tonight.

Walks, wells, and temporary boarding

Debris that blocks a safe exit, and a broken pane that needs a board until a proper repair is arranged.

What this page will not claim

A full roof today, a guaranteed arrival, or 'we work your insurance.' Structural roof work is arranged with a qualified roofer. We don't act as a public adjuster.

How a request works

A straightforward path from your message to a clear price — then work only if you say yes.

  1. Handle immediate danger first

    911 or the utility for fire, wires, or injuries.

  2. Tell us what's loose, open, or dripping

    From the ground is enough.

  3. A visit and a quote — then your OK

    A roofer is arranged when the job is a roof. Timing depends on availability, especially after a widespread storm. We won't invent a window. Temporary cover and a permanent repair may be two steps.

Storms in the Pittsburgh hills

Hills, tight lots, and older roof edges mean wind and runoff often show up as a hanging gutter, a wet ceiling, or a blocked walk rather than a wide-open field of damage.

Include your ZIP and what you can see from the ground. This intake covers Pittsburgh and nearby Allegheny County.

Questions

Will you tarp my whole roof tonight?

A small, safe temporary cover can sometimes be arranged. A large or steep roof may need a qualified roofer, and weather can make access unsafe. We will not promise a same-night tarp we can't keep.

Can you file my insurance claim?

No. We can describe work we were asked to do. We don't act as your public adjuster.

Do you take trees off the house?

Small branches can sometimes be cleared. A tree on a roof or on a service line needs a tree crew or the utility.

Are you a roofer?

Roof work is arranged with a qualified roofer when that's what's needed. This page does not claim a roofing license under this brand.

Is this 24/7?

We do not advertise a staffed 24/7 dispatch we have not built. We'll be honest about what's possible when you call.

Who comes out?

A qualified or licensed contractor is arranged when the work requires one. You'll know who is coming before a visit.

Request help

If water is entering a room, say that in the first sentence. If a line is down, call the utility first.
