24/7 Emergency Roof Tarping

When severe weather tears shingles away or a falling limb punches through your roof deck, you can't wait days for permanent construction. Our rapid emergency response stabilizes your roof immediately to keep your interior ceilings and possessions dry.


Temporary Defense Materials

Material Pros Cons
Heavy-Duty Polyethylene Tarps (10+ Mil) Impermeable to driving rain, tear-resistant, quickly installed. Temporary cover; begins degrading under intense sun exposure after 90 days.
Securing Wood Batten Strips Prevents strong winds from getting under the tarp edges and blowing it off. Requires mechanical fastening into the decking.

Our Emergency Action Plan

  1. Safety Assessment: We inspect the roof deck to ensure the roof is structurally safe to walk on.
  2. Debris Clearance: Tree branches and loose shingle debris are carefully cleared away.
  3. Over-the-Ridge Wrapping: We pull tarps over the roof peak so running water cannot seep underneath the top edge.
  4. Batten Anchoring: Tarps are secured with wooden batten strips to withstand high gusts.
