San Antonio sees some of the most severe hailstorms in Texas. Between April and June, storms can dump golf-ball-sized hail that destroys shingles, dents metal, and cracks skylights in minutes.

Common Emergency Roofing Situations in San Antonio
Hail damage is the most common emergency we respond to. San Antonio sits in Hail Alley, and spring storms regularly produce hail large enough to crack shingles, dent gutters, and compromise roof integrity. After a major hailstorm, our crews can be out within hours to tarp and assess.
Wind damage from severe thunderstorms and the occasional tropical system can lift shingles, tear off flashing, and expose the roof deck to water. Even a few missing shingles can lead to thousands of dollars in water damage if not addressed quickly.
Fallen trees and large branches are another common emergency, especially during summer storms. We safely remove debris, assess structural damage, and secure the roof before water intrusion starts.
We handle the temporary fix AND the permanent repair. No handoffs, no subcontractors, no storm chasers. Legacy has been San Antonio's trusted emergency roofing company since 1999.
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you respond to an emergency?
We dispatch crews as fast as possible for emergency calls. Our 24/7 emergency line is (210) 272-7272. We prioritize active leaks and storm damage to prevent further interior damage.
What counts as a roofing emergency?
Active leaks, major storm damage, fallen trees on the roof, and exposed decking are all emergencies. If water is entering your home or your roof structure is compromised, call us immediately.
Do you tarp roofs after storms?
Yes. Emergency tarping is one of our most common emergency services. We secure a heavy-duty tarp over the damaged area to prevent further water intrusion until permanent repairs can be made.
Will my insurance cover emergency roof repair?
Most homeowner insurance policies cover storm damage and sudden events that cause roof emergencies. We document all damage thoroughly with photos, drone footage, and written reports to support your claim. We also work directly with your adjuster to help the process go smoothly.
What should I do while waiting for emergency roof repair?
Move valuables away from the leak area, place buckets or towels to catch water, turn off electricity to affected rooms if water is near outlets, and do not go on the roof yourself. Call us at (210) 272-7272 and we will walk you through safety steps while our crew is on the way.
Do you handle the permanent repair after tarping?
Absolutely. We handle the full process from emergency tarping through permanent restoration. One company, one point of contact, no handoffs to a different contractor. Many companies only tarp and leave. We see the job through to completion.
