Jonesboro was founded as Leaksville in 1823, renamed in the 1840s for railroad engineer Samuel Goode Jones and chartered in 1859. It has been the Clayton County seat since 1858, and its 1867 granite depot still stands downtown. About 69% of the city’s homes were built before 1980. Emergency Roofing Solutions inspects, tarps, repairs and replaces roofs across Jonesboro and the much larger Jonesboro area of Clayton County, and a live person answers 24/7.

A new roof in the Jonesboro area, outside the city limits. We photographed it as our crew finished in February 2026. We’ve also completed jobs on South Hampton Court, Irongate Lane, Pheasant Drive and Norwalk Court.

About 69% of the homes in the city were built before 1980, mostly in the 1950s to 1970s. Many are on their third or fourth roof, and older decking often needs attention.
About 53% of the homes in the city are rented. We work with homeowners and landlords and send a photo report of what we found.
The Jonesboro Historic District was listed on the National Register in 1972. On older homes downtown, we match the look of the existing roof.
The city is only about 3 square miles, and most homes with a Jonesboro address are in unincorporated Clayton County. We serve both.

Jabari Bulger came to my door after seeing that my roof was seriously in need of replacement. He walked me through the process with insurance and the roof replacement seamlessly. I'm very happy with my choice to use Emergency Roofing Solutions.
Jabari was knowledgeable, friendly, honest, and very helpful during the entire process.

I hired Emergency Roofing Solutions after learning my roof, which had been updated before I bought the house, was missing proper ventilation. I had been noticing issues early on, especially in the summer, condensation around my HVAC unit, poor airflow, and my system working much harder than it should to keep the house cool. Cas…
