Emergency roof repair is about containment first, permanent fix second. We secure the exposed area with a tarp or emergency sealant to stop active water intrusion. Then we assess the full extent of damage and schedule the permanent repair. Cotter Roofing & Maintenance has been responding to roof emergencies across Cotter for 13 years.
Ice dam emergencies happen in AR winters. Ice builds up along the eave, backs water under the shingles, and leaks into the soffit, fascia, and interior walls. Cotter Roofing & Maintenance removes the ice dam, installs emergency ice-and-water shield where possible, and schedules a permanent fix with proper eave protection for next winter.
Our Emergency Roof Repair Process
Call Us Now
Call (877) 586-1316 and describe the situation. Active leak, storm damage, fallen debris, collapsed section — we triage over the phone and dispatch a crew. Same-day response for active emergencies in Cotter.
Emergency Seal
First priority: stop water from entering your home. We deploy tarps over exposed roof deck, seal active leak points with waterproof sealant, and secure loose shingles and flashing. Debris removed from the roof surface.
Damage Assessment
Thorough damage assessment: how many shingles are missing or damaged, which flashing points failed, whether the underlayment is compromised, and whether the roof deck sheathing absorbed water. All documented with annotated photos for insurance.
Permanent Repair Scheduled
We schedule the permanent repair within days. Blown-off shingles replaced, damaged flashing rebuilt, compromised underlayment and sheathing replaced. The emergency patch holds while we source materials and schedule the crew for a full restoration.
