What “emergency” usually means here

In Moon Township, urgent roofing work is often a leak during a thaw, a wind-damaged plane, or a tree or debris strike. The first job is keeping water out and people safe. Permanent repair or replacement can wait until the roof can be inspected in daylight.

Moon Roofing Guide does not send a crew. You can leave a roofing inquiry by phone. We'll return your call. There is no immediate or emergency response. For life-threatening situations, call 911.

After the immediate leak is controlled

  • Photograph interior stains, exterior missing shingles, and attic wetness from a safe place.
  • Keep receipts for temporary repairs if an insurance claim is possible.
  • Read the storm-damage page before signing a broad assignment of benefits you do not understand.
  • Covered home-improvement contracts generally include a three-business-day cancellation right, with emergency-work exceptions under Pennsylvania consumer law. Ask the contractor which rule they are using.

Permits and emergency work

Tarping or covering a leak is not the same as structural reconstruction. Moon Township currently lists ordinary roof covering as not requiring a building permit and structural changes as requiring one. Confirm anything beyond temporary protection with Community Development: 412-262-1700, ext. 116.
