Understanding Shrink Wrapping

Understanding Shrink Wrapping

Shrink wrapping provides superior long-term protection compared to traditional tarps. Using industrial-grade polyethylene film that's heat-sealed into place, shrink wrapping creates a watertight, wind-resistant barrier that can protect your property for 6-12 months or longer. It's the ideal solution when repairs will take time or when maximum protection is required.

Our professional contractors have years of experience installing shrink wrap on properties of all sizes. We measure your roof or structure precisely, install proper support frameworks when needed, and apply the shrink wrap with professional heat equipment to ensure a complete, secure seal.

Shrink wrap conforms to complex shapes and contours that tarps cannot effectively cover. For roofs with multiple angles, dormers, skylights, or unusual geometries, shrink wrap provides complete protection without gaps or loose areas that can fail in wind. The heat-sealed seams create a continuous barrier that's far more reliable than overlapping tarps secured with straps.

Beyond storm damage protection, shrink wrapping is used for construction sites, mothballed boats, outdoor storage, and any situation requiring extended weather protection. Our team has the equipment and expertise to handle projects of any scale, from residential roofs to large commercial and industrial applications.

Why Act Fast

While shrink wrapping provides longer protection than tarps, it should still be installed as soon as possible after damage occurs. Every day your property is exposed to weather, additional damage accumulates. Shrink wrap installation typically takes a few hours to a full day depending on property size, providing immediate protection once complete. Unlike tarps that can blow loose in wind, properly installed shrink wrap stays secure until you're ready to remove it.

Shrink Wrapping FAQs

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

Shrink wrapping uses industrial-grade polyethylene film that is heat-sealed to create a watertight, wind-resistant barrier. Unlike tarps that are secured with straps and weights, shrink wrap conforms tightly to the surface and creates a complete seal. Shrink wrap provides superior protection lasting 6-12 months or longer, while tarps typically last 30-90 days. Shrink wrap is ideal for complex roof shapes, long-term protection needs, or high-wind areas.
Consider shrink wrapping when repairs will take more than 90 days, your property is in a high-wind area, the roof has complex geometry where tarps won't work well, you need protection through hurricane season, or there's an insurance claim dispute causing delays. While shrink wrap costs more upfront, it often saves money compared to multiple tarp replacements and provides more reliable protection.
Most residential shrink wrap installations are completed in 4-8 hours. Larger commercial properties or complex structures may take 1-2 days. The process includes surface preparation, framework installation if needed, shrink wrap application, and heat sealing. We work efficiently to provide protection as quickly as possible while ensuring a complete, durable seal.
Shrink wrapping is typically covered when it's a reasonable temporary protection measure for a covered loss. Insurance may prefer shrink wrap over repeated tarp replacements for extended repair timelines. We provide detailed documentation and can explain to adjusters why shrink wrap is the appropriate choice for your situation. Discuss options with your insurance company before installation.
Quality shrink wrap installations can provide protection for 6-12 months or longer depending on UV exposure and weather conditions. Our industrial-grade shrink wrap is UV-stabilized to resist degradation from sun exposure. Unlike tarps that can blow loose or deteriorate quickly, properly installed shrink wrap maintains its seal throughout its service life. We recommend scheduling permanent repairs before the protection expires.
Yes, shrink wrap can be removed when you're ready for permanent repairs. The removal process involves cutting the material and disposing of it properly—shrink wrap is recyclable. Removal typically takes much less time than installation. We can coordinate removal with your roofing contractor's schedule to ensure seamless transition from temporary protection to permanent repair.
Shrink wrap works well on flat roofs and is often preferred because tarps tend to pool water on flat surfaces. Our installation technique on flat roofs includes creating proper support structures to ensure water drains off the shrink wrap rather than pooling. We assess your specific roof configuration and design an installation approach that provides complete protection regardless of roof style.
If shrink wrap is damaged by debris, severe weather, or other causes, repairs are possible. Small tears or punctures can often be patched with additional shrink wrap material. Larger damage may require partial or complete reinstallation. We warranty our installations against workmanship defects and respond quickly to repair requests. Regular inspections help identify and address minor damage before it becomes a problem.
