Emergency Roof Tarping

Temporary roof covering to protect the home after storm damage, fallen trees or sudden leaks until permanent repairs can be made.

When a storm tears off shingles or a tree punches through the roof, the most important job is keeping rain out. A properly installed tarp is a temporary shield that protects the home until permanent repairs are possible. Owners in Nashville call us after severe weather, when speed and good workmanship matter most.

We respond as quickly as conditions allow, inspect the damaged area and secure heavy-duty tarps over the opening, extending them beyond the damage and fastening them to boards so they stay put in wind. We avoid creating new holes where we can, and we document the damage with photos. We explain how long the tarp should stay, schedule permanent repairs and recommend you notify your insurance carrier if you plan to make a claim. A tarp is a bridge, and the quality of the bridge matters. We use heavy-duty tarps, extend them well beyond the damage, secure them with lumber to spread the load and check them after wind. We will also tell you when a tarp is not the right choice, such as when a small, quick repair can seal the roof properly right away.

Done to stay

Tarps are secured over the ridge or beyond the damage and fastened with boards to resist wind.

Minimal new damage

We use methods that limit extra holes and protect sound roofing.

Questions

Emergency Roof Tarping FAQ

How long can a tarp stay on?

A tarp is temporary. We recommend scheduling permanent repairs as soon as possible.

Will a tarp damage my roof?

Properly installed tarps are designed to limit damage. We use boards to reduce fasteners in roofing.

Can you tarp at night?

We assess safety and weather and tell you what is possible.

Do you remove tarps later?

Yes, as part of the permanent repair.

What if a tree is on my roof?

Call emergency services if anyone is in danger. A tree service can remove the tree, and we tarp the opening.
