A roof emergency means water is getting in or about to get in. Wind-damaged shingles exposing the underlayment, hail-cracked shingles that won't survive the next rain, a fallen branch through the roof deck, or a suddenly leaking chimney flashing. Galway Roofing & Maintenance handles all of it — fast. Call (877) 586-1316 and we'll be there.
Ice dam emergencies happen in NY winters. Ice builds up along the eave, backs water under the shingles, and leaks into the soffit, fascia, and interior walls. Galway 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
Emergency Call
Call (877) 586-1316 for immediate emergency dispatch. We prioritize based on severity — active water intrusion gets same-hour response. Our Galway crews are on standby during storm season.
Tarp & Contain
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.
Fix It Right
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.
