What Counts as a Roof Emergency
When to Call AMPCo Immediately
Not every roofing issue is an emergency — but some are. These situations require immediate attention to prevent compounding damage to your home's structure, insulation, electrical systems, and interior.
If you're experiencing any of the following, call AMPCo now rather than scheduling a standard inspection. Same-day and next-day response is available across all of Western Montana.
Active Roof Leak
Water entering your home through the ceiling or walls during or after a storm. Every hour of active leaking causes additional damage to insulation, drywall, framing, and belongings.
Storm-Related Structural Damage
Tree impact, large debris, or severe wind damage that has compromised the roof deck or framing — not just surface shingle damage.
Large Section of Missing Shingles
Wind removal of multiple shingles or an entire section leaves the underlayment and deck exposed to rain, snow, and UV damage.
Ice Dam with Interior Leaking
Ice dams that have begun forcing meltwater under shingles and into the interior — common in Western Montana's freeze-thaw winters.
Sagging or Collapsed Roof Section
Any visible sagging, bowing, or collapse of the roof deck indicates structural failure and is an immediate safety and habitability concern.

What To Do During a Roof Emergency
While you wait for AMPCo, here's how to minimize damage to your home safely — without putting yourself at risk.
01
Call AMPCo
Call (406) 310-1077 immediately. We'll talk you through interim steps over the phone and dispatch a crew as fast as possible.
02
Contain Interior Water
Place buckets under active drips. Move furniture, electronics, and valuables away from the leak area. Photograph all interior water damage for your insurance claim.
03
Document Everything
Take photos and video of all visible damage — interior and exterior — before any cleanup or repairs. This documentation is essential for your insurance claim.
04
Do Not Go on the Roof
A damaged roof is unstable. Do not attempt to access the roof yourself — especially during or immediately after a storm. Leave temporary tarping to the AMPCo crew.
Do not attempt DIY tarping on a damaged or wet roof. Falls from residential roofs are a leading cause of serious injury in Montana. AMPCo's crew is equipped and trained to safely access and secure damaged roofs — let us handle it.

Call AMPCo immediately at (406) 310-1077. While you wait: place buckets under active drips, move valuables away from the affected area, photograph all damage, and do not go on the roof yourself. We'll talk you through any interim steps over the phone and dispatch a crew as fast as possible.
Emergency tarping and temporary protection is typically $300–$800 depending on roof size and damage extent. Permanent repairs are priced separately based on the scope of work identified during our assessment. If the damage is storm-related, your insurance policy will likely cover most or all of the cost minus your deductible — and AMPCo handles the entire claims process at no extra charge.
We strongly recommend against it. A damaged or wet roof is unstable and extremely slippery — falls from residential roofs are a leading cause of serious injury. AMPCo's crew is equipped with the right safety gear and trained for emergency roof access in all weather conditions. Let us handle the tarping safely while you document the interior damage.
If the emergency is caused by a covered peril — hail, wind, fallen tree, or other sudden storm damage — your homeowners insurance policy should cover the repair cost minus your deductible. AMPCo documents everything during the emergency response specifically to support a strong insurance claim. We handle all adjuster coordination at no extra cost.
Yes. AMPCo serves all of Western Montana including Dillon and Beaverhead County, Hamilton and Ravalli County, Anaconda, Helena, and the Missoula region. Response times to more rural areas may be slightly longer than in the Butte area, but we are committed to getting to every emergency call as fast as possible regardless of location.
