Why don't you tarp at night or during the storm?
Crew safety. Working on a wet, dark roof during active weather is the leading cause of roofing fatalities. We answer your call immediately and start the insurance claim, but physical work waits for first daylight when our crew can work safely with proper fall protection.
Will my insurance cover the emergency tarp?
Yes. Most homeowners insurance policies cover emergency mitigation (including tarping) under your dwelling coverage. We document everything for your claim. Acting fast actually HELPS your claim — insurers expect you to take reasonable steps to limit damage.
How much does emergency tarping cost?
Standard emergency tarping ranges from $400-$1,800 depending on roof size and damage extent. Most insurance policies reimburse this cost. We'll give you a clear estimate before any work begins.
Can I tarp my own roof to save money?
We strongly recommend against it. Beyond the safety risk, an improperly installed tarp can blow off in wind (causing more damage), fail to seal properly (leak continues), or void your insurance claim. A professional tarp lasts 30-90 days and protects your claim documentation.
Do you handle the full roof repair after tarping?
Yes. We're a full-service roofing company. After emergency tarping, we work with your insurance to schedule the permanent repair or replacement. Most customers stay with us for the full project — we already know your roof.
