A roof emergency does not wait for business hours.

We are a licensed and insured Florida roofing contractor (CCC1329769) and GAF Master Elite® certified. Every hour of open exposure means water is moving deeper into your home’s structure.

If your roof is compromised right now, call 1-855-BIGFOOT. Bigfoot Roofing & Construction provides emergency roof service in Orlando, FL around the clock.
Why Choose Us for Emergency Roof Service in Orlando?
Speed and follow-through are what separate a good emergency roofing response from a bad one. A crew that shows up fast but leaves you with a loose tarp and no follow-up plan has not solved your problem. Bigfoot handles the full sequence: stabilize the roof, document the damage completely, then carry the job through to permanent permitted repair or replacement.
- 24-hour response guarantee — we answer the phone at night and on weekends
- Crews dispatch from the Oviedo office for fast arrival anywhere in Orange and Seminole County
- Heavy-duty emergency tarping installed correctly to prevent failure in the next rain event
- Complete photo documentation from the first visit — no starting over for insurance purposes
- Licensed Florida Certified Roofing Contractor, not an unlicensed storm chaser
- Full follow-through from temporary repair to permanent resolution, with financing available
Emergency Roof Services
An emergency call can involve any number of roof situations. Here is what our crews address.
Emergency Tarping
When a section of your roof is open to the sky, tarping is the immediate priority. Our crews install heavy-duty polyethylene tarps secured with lumber and fasteners — not loose tarps held down by sandbags that blow off in the next storm. A properly installed emergency tarp keeps water out while permanent repair is being scoped and scheduled. We document the area before tarping so the underlying damage is fully recorded.
Temporary Leak Containment
Not every roof emergency involves visible structural damage. Active leaks from failed flashing, a cracked pipe boot, or a small area of lifted shingles can cause significant interior damage if left unaddressed. We identify the leak source, apply temporary sealant or flashing as needed, and give you a clear picture of what permanent repair is required. Stopping water intrusion quickly is the goal — we do not leave the job with an unresolved active leak.
Storm Response and Wind Damage
Central Florida’s afternoon thunderstorms and hurricane-season weather can lift ridge caps, remove entire shingle courses, and peel back roof sections faster than homeowners in neighborhoods like Dr. Phillips, Lake Nona, or College Park realize until water is already inside. After a severe weather event, we triage for active exposure first and document everything as we go. Our emergency response is the first step in the full storm damage repair process.
After-Hours Roof Assessment
Sometimes the emergency is uncertainty — a storm just passed, you heard something hit the roof, and you need to know whether your home is protected before the next round of weather arrives. Our team conducts after-hours assessments, gives you a clear written finding, and tells you honestly whether action is needed now or whether the roof can safely wait until morning for a full inspection.
Our Emergency Response Process
- Call 1-855-BIGFOOT — any time, day or night, seven days a week.
- Dispatch — a crew member heads to your Orlando-area address, prioritizing situations with active leaks or open roof sections.
- Stabilize — emergency tarping or temporary leak containment goes in place before any water intrusion can continue.
- Document — every damaged area is photographed and noted in a written findings report from the first visit.
- Scope the permanent repair — we review the documentation with you, explain the repair or replacement scope, and provide a written estimate with clear timelines.
- Follow through — permitted repair or replacement, clean jobsite, written warranty.
Signs You Have a Roof Emergency
Some situations can wait for a scheduled inspection appointment. These cannot:
- Water actively dripping or running inside your home
- A section of roof visibly open — missing shingles exposing bare decking or underlayment
- A tree limb or large debris resting on or through the roof surface
- Ridge cap pieces or large areas of shingles on the ground after a storm
- Ceiling bulging or sagging from pooled water above
- Any situation where you can see daylight from inside your attic after a storm
When in doubt, call. We would rather tell you the situation is stable than have you delay on something that needed immediate attention.

Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifies as a roof emergency — should I call tonight or wait until morning?
If there is active water intrusion, visible open decking, or a tree or debris resting on your roof, call now. Those situations can worsen quickly with the next rain event and cause damage to interior structure, insulation, and electrical systems that far exceeds the cost of emergency roof service. If you are unsure, call anyway — we will assess the situation and tell you honestly whether it needs immediate action.
How does emergency tarping work, and how long does it last?
We install heavy-duty polyethylene tarps secured with lumber and mechanical fasteners, covering the damaged area with overlap onto undamaged roof sections. A correctly installed tarp holds through normal rain events and moderate wind. It is a temporary measure — typically holding for days to weeks while permanent repair is scoped and scheduled — not a permanent fix. We always follow up with a full repair plan.
Will your emergency visit documentation work for an insurance claim?
Yes. We photograph and document damage from the first visit with insurance coordination in mind. Our written findings are clear and organized so that when you work through the claims process with your adjuster, the record of damage and our temporary protective measures is complete and accurate.
Do you charge extra for after-hours or weekend emergency calls in Orlando?
Call us at 1-855-BIGFOOT or (407) 634-3856 and we will walk through the situation, explain any applicable fees, and give you a clear picture of what emergency response involves before any work begins.
