24/7 Emergency Commercial Roof Repair

When Every Minute Counts, Call Windward

A commercial roof failure does not wait for business hours. Whether it is a violent storm at midnight, a burst pipe at dawn, or wind-driven membrane blow-off during a holiday weekend, the damage accelerates with every passing minute. Water intrusion can destroy inventory, damage electrical systems, compromise structural steel, and create hazardous conditions for building occupants. That is why Windward Roofing & Construction maintains a dedicated 24/7 emergency response team ready to deploy at a moment's notice across Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, and Florida.

With over 40 years of experience in commercial and industrial roofing, we understand the urgency of roof emergencies. Our crews are trained to mobilize rapidly, arriving at your facility within one to two hours with fully stocked service vehicles equipped to handle virtually any emergency scenario. From temporary stabilization to permanent repair, we manage the entire process so you can focus on your business.

Storm Damage Response

The Midwest and Great Lakes regions experience some of the most severe weather in the country. High winds, heavy hail, torrential rain, ice storms, and even tornadoes can inflict catastrophic damage on commercial roofing systems. Windward Roofing has decades of experience responding to major storm events and understands the unique challenges that each type of severe weather presents.

Our storm damage response includes rapid on-site assessment of the affected areas, emergency tarping and covering of exposed sections, temporary patching of punctured or torn membranes, removal of fallen debris and hazardous materials, and stabilization of loose or damaged flashing and edge metal. We document every aspect of the damage thoroughly, providing detailed photographic evidence and written reports that are essential for insurance claims.

Wind Damage

High winds can peel back membrane sections, tear flashing loose from parapets, dislodge copings, and send rooftop equipment tumbling across the roof surface. Our emergency teams secure loose materials, install temporary fastening, and apply emergency adhesive and sealant to prevent further wind uplift until a permanent repair can be scheduled.

Hail Damage

Hail impacts create punctures, fractures, and bruises in roofing membranes that may not be immediately visible but lead to accelerated deterioration and leaks. Our technicians perform systematic hail damage surveys using grid-pattern inspection methods to identify all affected areas, ensuring nothing is missed in the assessment.

Water Intrusion and Active Leak Repair

Active water intrusion is the most urgent commercial roof emergency. Every gallon of water that enters your building causes compounding damage to insulation, decking, structural components, interior finishes, and building contents. Windward Roofing's emergency leak response protocol is designed to stop the water first, then diagnose and address the root cause.

Our approach to active leaks includes immediate identification of the water entry point using visual inspection and, when needed, infrared thermal imaging. We deploy temporary containment measures inside the building to redirect water away from sensitive equipment and inventory while our crews work on the roof to seal the breach. Whether the issue is a failed membrane seam, a compromised flashing detail, a clogged drain causing ponding, or a mechanical penetration that has lost its seal, we have the materials and expertise on hand to stop the leak.

Temporary Repairs and Board-Up Services

In many emergency situations, a permanent repair cannot be completed immediately due to weather conditions, material requirements, or the scope of the damage. In these cases, Windward Roofing provides professional temporary repair and board-up services designed to protect your building until the permanent work can proceed.

Our temporary repair services include heavy-duty emergency tarping rated for high-wind conditions, structural board-up of damaged openings and skylights, temporary membrane patching with compatible materials, emergency drain clearing and water rerouting, and interior water extraction coordination. Every temporary measure we install is engineered to provide reliable protection. We do not use shortcuts or consumer-grade materials for temporary commercial repairs. Our temporary solutions use contractor-grade tarps, professional fastening systems, and commercial-quality sealants to ensure your building remains protected.

Insurance Claims Assistance

Navigating insurance claims after a commercial roof emergency can be overwhelming, especially when you are simultaneously dealing with business disruption and property damage. Windward Roofing provides comprehensive insurance claims assistance that takes the burden off your shoulders and helps ensure you receive fair compensation for the damage.

Our claims support includes detailed damage documentation with date-stamped photographs, comprehensive written damage assessments and scope-of-work reports, direct communication with your insurance company and adjusters, supplemental documentation when initial estimates undervalue the damage, coordination of repair scheduling once the claim is approved, and historical maintenance records if your building is on one of our preventive maintenance programs. We have worked with virtually every major commercial insurance carrier and understand what adjusters need to see in order to approve a claim promptly. Our documentation practices are thorough and professional, reducing the likelihood of claim disputes or delays.

Why Speed Matters in Roof Emergencies

The cost of a roof emergency escalates dramatically with time. Studies by the National Roofing Contractors Association show that water damage from a roof failure can double in scope within the first 24 hours if not addressed. Secondary damage from mold growth can begin within 48 to 72 hours in warm, humid conditions. For businesses with sensitive inventory, electronic equipment, or regulatory requirements for facility conditions, even a few hours of delay can result in losses that far exceed the cost of the roof repair itself.

Windward Roofing's rapid-response model is designed to minimize total loss. By arriving quickly, stopping the water, and stabilizing the situation, we help you limit damage to the smallest possible scope. This not only reduces your out-of-pocket costs but also shortens the timeline for returning your building to full operational status.
