FAQs
What qualifies as an emergency roofing situation in Jacksboro?
Any time wind, hail, falling limbs, or flying debris create openings in your roof that expose the interior of your home or business to rain, it’s considered an emergency. Because Jacksboro often experiences severe spring thunderstorms and the tail-end of North Texas tornado systems, even small punctures or missing shingles can lead to rapid water intrusion and structural damage, making prompt tarping essential.
How quickly can you install an emergency tarp after storm damage?
Our crews are on call 24/7 and can usually arrive anywhere in the greater Jacksboro area within 1–2 hours of your call. Once on-site, most tarping jobs take 30–90 minutes, depending on roof height, slope, and the extent of the damage. We prioritize safety, so lightning, high winds, or night conditions may slightly lengthen the process, but we will secure the opening the same day in nearly every case.
Will the tarp keep my home completely dry until permanent repairs are made?
A professionally installed tarp is designed to shed water away from the damaged zone and into your gutters for several weeks. We use 8- to 10-mil UV-resistant polyethylene tarps, weighted sandbags, and anchor boards screwed into structural members—not surface shingles—to prevent blow-off. While no temporary covering is 100 % foolproof in extreme weather, our installation methods have a very low failure rate and are inspected after each major rain until permanent repairs begin.
How much does emergency roof tarping cost in Jacksboro?
For most residential roofs the price ranges from $300 to $900, which includes dispatch, materials, labor, photographs for insurance, and a return trip for removal. Large commercial roofs, steep pitches, or multiple penetrations can run higher. We provide a firm quote on-site before any work starts, and if you authorize us to perform the eventual roof repair or replacement, we credit a portion of the tarping fee toward that work.
Will my homeowners insurance cover emergency tarping and storm repairs?
Yes. Insurance policies that cover wind or hail damage almost always reimburse reasonable emergency mitigation costs, including tarping. We document the damage with time-stamped photos, fill out the temporary repair section of your claim form, and bill your carrier directly upon request. All you typically pay up front is your deductible, and even that may not be due until the full roof repair is completed.
What are the next steps after the tarp is installed?
1) Damage Assessment: Within 24–48 hours we perform a full roof inspection and create a repair estimate. 2) Insurance Coordination: We meet with your adjuster on-site to ensure nothing is missed. 3) Material Selection: You choose shingle style, color, and any upgrades. 4) Scheduling Repairs: Most Jacksboro roof replacements are scheduled within 1–2 weeks, subject to weather and material availability. 5) Tarp Removal & Repair: We remove the tarp, complete structural repairs, install new underlayment, shingles, flashing, and ridge ventilation. 6) Final Walk-Through: We review the finished roof with you, provide warranty documents, and handle final paperwork with your insurer.
