What is Residential Roof Tarping?

If you are experiencing a leak in your roof but aren't able to get it repaired right away, professional roof tarping is the right solution. Roof tarps help protect your roof and property from rain, wind, and further water damage, offering a temporary but effective way to prevent leaks from causing additional destruction.

Roof tarping is a specialized project that can be dangerous if not completed properly. Our certified contractors are experienced with roofs of all sizes and types, and complete every installation with safety and quality as the top priorities. We provide 24/7 emergency service to ensure protection is available as soon as damage occurs.

Professional roof tarping involves much more than simply draping a tarp over damage. Our installation process includes evaluating the extent of damage to determine proper coverage, selecting appropriate tarp materials and sizes, creating secure anchor points that won't cause additional damage, overlapping seams to prevent water infiltration, and securing edges against wind uplift. Properly installed tarps can protect your property for months while you arrange permanent repairs.

We understand that roof damage often occurs at the worst possible times—during storms when you can't get a roofer, on holidays, or when your regular contractors are booked for weeks. That's why we maintain 24/7 emergency tarping services and keep ample supplies on hand, especially during hurricane season.

Why Residential Roof is Different

Homeowners often discover roof damage after a storm when it's raining and damage is actively occurring. Our residential roof tarping team responds rapidly to stop ongoing water intrusion. We understand the stress of home damage and work efficiently to secure your property, document damage for insurance, and provide peace of mind during a difficult situation. Many homeowners are surprised at how much damage can occur in a short time from roof leaks—protecting your roof quickly can save thousands in interior restoration costs.

Why Fast Action Matters

A roof tarp is a temporary fix—the longer you wait for permanent repairs, the more water damage and mold growth can occur. Our professional tarps can withstand weather conditions for approximately 30-90 days, giving you time to arrange permanent repairs while protecting your property from further damage. Remember: a small roof leak can quickly become major water damage. Every rainfall on an uncovered damaged roof adds to your restoration costs and extends the time until you're back to normal.

Roof Tarping FAQs

Get answers to common questions about our services in your area.

Professional roof tarps typically provide protection for 30-90 days depending on weather conditions, tarp quality, and installation method. Our heavy-duty tarps and secure installation methods maximize protection duration. However, tarps are a temporary solution—we recommend scheduling permanent repairs as soon as possible and can help coordinate with roofing contractors and insurance companies.

We strongly advise against DIY roof tarping. Roof work is extremely dangerous, especially on damaged structures. Falls are a leading cause of home injury deaths. Additionally, improper tarping can void insurance coverage, cause additional damage, or fail during the next storm. Professional installation ensures proper coverage, secure attachment, and documentation for insurance claims. Our trained crews have safety equipment and experience with all roof types.

We offer 24/7 emergency roof tarping and can typically arrive within 1-2 hours for urgent situations. Most residential roof tarping is completed within 2-4 hours of arrival. Larger or more complex roofs may take longer. After major storms, we pre-position crews to ensure rapid response when our community needs us most.

Yes, most insurance policies cover emergency roof tarping as part of damage mitigation—it prevents additional damage and reduces overall claim costs. Keep records of all expenses and take photos of the damage and completed tarp installation. We provide detailed documentation and can work directly with your insurance company. Contact your insurer promptly to report the damage.

We use heavy-duty polyethylene tarps designed for extended outdoor exposure. Our tarps are UV-resistant, waterproof, and tear-resistant. We select appropriate weight and size based on your specific situation—larger areas may require heavier-duty materials. Unlike hardware store tarps that may last only days, professional-grade tarps provide reliable protection for extended periods.

Properly installed professional tarps protect rather than damage your roof. We use appropriate anchor methods based on your roof type—weighted systems, furring strips secured to undamaged areas, or roof clips—that don't require nails in shingles or tiles. Improper DIY tarping, however, can cause additional damage through incorrect anchoring or materials that trap moisture. That's why professional installation is important.

If a subsequent storm damages your tarp, contact us immediately for re-tarping or repair. We warranty our installations against workmanship defects and will inspect and address any issues. In some cases, damage from exceptional wind events may require re-tarping. Having an established relationship with a restoration company means faster response when you need additional help.

We have experience tarping all types of residential and commercial roofs including shingle, tile, metal, flat/low-slope, and modified bitumen. Each roof type requires different tarping techniques and anchor methods. Tile roofs require particular care to avoid breaking tiles. Flat roofs may require different approaches than pitched roofs. Our team assesses your specific roof and applies appropriate methods.
