Locust Grove grew up as a railroad shipping town, opened its first store on Main Street in 1870 and was incorporated in 1893. It is named for a grove of locust trees near the original town site. Most of its homes are much newer: about 2 in 3 were built in 2000 or later. Emergency Roofing Solutions inspects, tarps, repairs and replaces roofs across Locust Grove and the Locust Grove-area neighborhoods around it, and a live person answers 24/7.

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.
