Understanding 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 Act Fast
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.

Blue Tarp vs Shrink Wrap — Which Roof Cover?
Both stop weather from entering after storm or impact damage. Neither replaces a permanent roof repair. Choose based on how long the opening must stay protected and how exposed the roof is to South Florida wind.
| Factor | Blue tarp | Shrink wrap |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Short-term emergency cover after storms or active leaks | Multi-day or multi-week weather protection while repairs are scheduled |
| Speed to install | Usually fastest same-day securement | Longer install — needs heat sealing and edge detailing |
| Wind / rain hold | Can flap or pond water; may need re-securing after gusts | Tighter membrane when installed correctly; better wind resistance on many openings |
| Typical lifespan on roof | Days to a few weeks with monitoring (site- and weather-dependent) | Often weeks when edges and drainage are detailed correctly |
| Cost profile | Lower material/labor for immediate stop-gap | Higher upfront; can reduce return trips for re-tarping on longer jobs |
After a hurricane or wind event, emergency tarping is often the first securement if openings are active; shrink wrap is a common next step when the roof must stay weather-tight longer — see storm damage restoration and shrink wrapping. An on-site assessment decides which option fits the opening, pitch, and forecast.
