We maintain dispatch capability across the GTA. Active leaks get priority dispatch, around the clock.
Contain then diagnose
We contain the water intrusion first, then diagnose the full failure mode. Speed and accuracy, not just one or the other.
Document before covering
We photograph and document all storm damage before applying temporary protection. That documentation matters for insurance claims.
One call, both phases
Our vehicles are stocked for both temporary containment and permanent repair. Many emergency calls end with a permanent fix on the same visit.
24/7 availability
We answer the phone at 2am. Water doesn't wait for business hours.

Every emergency call includes a written damage report formatted for insurance carrier submission.
“We answer at 2am. When water is coming through a ceiling, the time between the call and the first tarp is the entire job.”

Luciano did not try to sell me a new roof. Appreciated the honesty — he showed up when he said he would.
We had a leak diagnosed by two other contractors who could not find the source. Blue Knight found it on the first visit and fixed it the same week.
Flat roof replacement on a commercial unit. Clean, fast, no surprises on the invoice. The crew left the site cleaner than they found it.
Called after a storm damaged our roof. Someone was on site within hours, tarped everything, and had us fully repaired before the next rain.
Had a slow basement leak for years. Every other company just caulked it. Blue Knight found the actual source and did a proper waterproofing job. No issues since.
Our neighbours recommended them for a valley repair. Small job, but they treated it like it mattered — showed up on time, matched the shingles perfectly, and charged exactly what they quoted.

Emergency Roof Repair questions for Burlington.
Typically within 60 minutes, with the far north of the city running longer in winter conditions when the climb up toward Kilbride is slow. We give you a realistic window when you call based on where you actually are rather than repeating one number to everybody.
We stop the water with secured tarping or a temporary membrane patch, photograph the failure before covering it, and trace the entry point. You are left with the intrusion contained and a written account of what failed, which becomes the basis for both the permanent repair quote and any insurance claim.
In Burlington that is nearly always an ice dam releasing, and it is one of our most common winter calls in the upper city. Ice built at the eave over several cold days, backed meltwater under the shingles, and let go all at once when the temperature moved. Tarping the roof achieves nothing because the water is already inside the assembly, so the work is clearing a channel through the dam and protecting the interior.
If underlayment or bare deck is exposed, yes, because the next rainfall goes straight into the structure whether or not anything is leaking right now. Wind loss on subdivision era shingles is one of our most common Burlington emergency calls and containment is quick when we reach it before the water does.
Yes. We photograph before covering anything and provide a written report formatted for submission: failure description, probable cause, and recommended repair. That sequence is what separates an approved claim from a disputed one, and it costs about ninety seconds on the night.
Both, and by the same company, so nothing is lost between the emergency visit and the repair and you are not paying twice for diagnosis. The permanent scope is quoted in daylight with the reasoning written down, because nobody makes a sound decision about a roof at three in the morning.
When water is actively coming into a building the order does not vary. Contain first, because every minute it runs costs more insulation and drywall. Photograph second, before any covering goes on, because that record is what an insurer decides the claim on and it cannot be recreated afterwards. Diagnose third.
Burlington's emergencies follow its geography. Winter calls cluster in the upper city, where ice damming releases through ceilings during a thaw. Wind events strip shingles across the newer subdivisions, where open street layouts give gusts a clean run at exposed roof planes. Summer downpours find the flat sections and the chimney flashings on the older stock nearer the lake.
Winter Emergencies in the Upper City
The single most common emergency we take in Burlington is not storm damage. It is an ice dam on a house above Dundas, arriving in a predictable sequence: a hard cold week, one mild afternoon, then water through a bedroom ceiling near an outside wall. More snow and more freeze and thaw cycling at that elevation give the mechanism more to work with than it has near the lake.
Containment on that call looks different from containment on a wind failure, and crews that only know one of them get it wrong. The permanent fix is almost always in the attic rather than on the roof, which is why we look there on the same visit rather than booking a second one.
After a Wind Event
Severe weather hits Burlington's subdivisions in clusters. A gust front that lifts shingles on one Alton Village street has usually lifted them on the next five, because the houses went up in the same year to the same detail with the same crew. After major storms we triage by whether water is actively entering, and we are straight about timing when call volume spikes rather than promising an hour we cannot hold.
If your roof took damage but is not actively leaking, prompt assessment is still worth it. Displaced shingles and stressed flashings frequently hold until the next storm and then fail, and an inspection now costs a great deal less than an emergency later.
