A Lakeland emergency roof call is usually water in the house, a missing section after wind, or a tree on the deck. You want a number. We will not invent one on the phone. A pipe-boot drip is not an open valley. You get the price in writing after we see the roof.
These are general Central Florida market ranges, plus what True Roofers commits to before anyone climbs. They are not a True Roofers quote.
True Roofers is a licensed Florida roofing contractor, CCC1332725. Lakeland office: 2829 Badger Rd #19, (863) 624-6590. After hours: (813) 800-1800 or the 24/7 inspection line (863) 880-2041.
What counts as an emergency
Water coming through the ceiling. A sagging or bulging ceiling. A hole or a missing section after a storm. Daylight in the attic. A tree on the roof.
A few missing shingles with a dry ceiling can often wait until morning. An active leak cannot.
If the deck is open and we cannot close it the same visit, that is roof tarping first, then emergency roof repair.
Market ranges, not True Roofers prices
These are general Central Florida figures. Your number is the one we write after the inspection.
- Small emergency tarp: often $300 to $800
- Large, steep, or two-story tarp: often $800 to $1,500 or more
- Same-visit flashing or shingle repair: often $400 to $1,200
- Storm section repair with wet decking: higher, because the wood has to come off
A tarp is temporary. Florida sun and wind chew through it. Plan the permanent repair, not a season under plastic.
What we commit to before we climb
Inspection. Photos of what we find. Written condition notes. Nothing starts until you say yes.
Price. In writing. It does not change mid-job unless you approve extra work. Soft decking found after tear-off gets quoted before we keep going.
License. CCC1332725. Permits in our name when the work requires them.
Claims. We photograph the roof for your carrier. We do not file the claim or adjust it.
How this collides with Florida’s 25% rule
A limb takes 80 square feet of shingles off one plane. That can look like a one-afternoon patch. If that plane is 300 square feet, you are already over 25% of the section, and the building department can require that section to current code. Details: what is the 25% roofing rule in Florida.
That is why we measure the section, not just the hole.
