Emergency Roof Tarping & Storm Damage Response

1. Ensure safety first — If there are downed power lines, gas smells, or structural concerns, evacuate and call 911. Don't climb onto a damaged roof yourself.
2. Call a licensed contractor — Contact us at 844-730-7663 for emergency tarping. A licensed contractor (CCC1330718) can safely assess and stabilize the damage.
3. Document the damage — Take photos and video of all visible damage from the ground and from inside your home. Note any water intrusion, ceiling stains, or displaced roofing materials.
4. Move valuables — If water is entering your home, move furniture, electronics, and valuables away from the affected area. Place buckets or tarps to catch dripping water.
5. Contact your insurance company — File a claim as soon as possible. Your insurer will likely send an adjuster, and having professional documentation from a licensed contractor strengthens your claim.
6. Do not make permanent repairs yet — Temporary tarping is appropriate. Hold off on permanent repairs until your insurance adjuster has inspected the damage.

Our emergency response follows a structured process designed to protect your property and support your insurance claim:

• Rapid deployment — We prioritize emergency calls and deploy crews as quickly as possible, often same-day depending on storm conditions and call volume.
• Damage assessment — We perform a thorough visual and photographic assessment of all roof damage, including drone documentation when conditions allow.
• Commercial tarp installation — We install commercial-grade tarps using proper fastening methods to shed water effectively and withstand subsequent weather events.
• Interior damage check — We assess the interior for water intrusion and document it for your claim.
• Full documentation package — You receive a complete damage report with photos, descriptions, and a preliminary repair or replacement estimate.
• Insurance coordination — We work with your insurance adjuster, providing the documentation they need to process your claim efficiently.
• Transition to repair — Once your claim is approved, we transition seamlessly to permanent repair or full roof replacement. See our services page for details.

How quickly can you respond to emergency roof damage?

Response times depend on storm conditions, road access, and call volume, but we prioritize emergency calls and often deploy same-day. During major hurricane events, we mobilize crews as soon as conditions are safe. Call 844-730-7663 immediately and we'll give you an estimated arrival time.

Will my insurance pay for emergency tarping?

Most Florida homeowners policies cover emergency mitigation including tarping as part of a covered loss. Your "duty to mitigate" clause actually requires you to take these steps. We provide the documentation you need to submit the tarping cost with your claim. Check with your insurer for specifics, and see our FAQ page for more.

How long can a tarp stay on my roof?

A properly installed commercial-grade tarp can last several months, but it's a temporary measure. We recommend moving to permanent repair or replacement as soon as your insurance claim is approved. Tarps degrade in Florida's UV exposure and can fail in subsequent storms, so don't delay the permanent fix.

Can you work directly with my insurance adjuster?

Yes. We regularly coordinate with insurance adjusters, providing damage documentation, repair estimates, and code compliance information. Having a licensed contractor (CCC1330718) on your side during the claims process helps ensure your claim is properly valued and approved. Contact us to get started.
