FAQs
What should I do immediately after my roof is damaged in a storm in Andersonville?
First, make sure everyone in the home is safe and stay clear of any fallen power lines or unstable structures. If water is entering the house, move valuables and electronics to a dry area. Then call our 24/7 emergency line. We will walk you through basic safety steps over the phone and dispatch a crew to install a protective tarp as quickly as possible.
How fast can your team arrive for an emergency tarp installation?
Because we keep dedicated storm-response crews on call in Andersonville, we can typically arrive within 1–2 hours of your call, day or night. During large-scale weather events, arrival times may extend slightly, but we prioritize the most severe leaks and exposures first and will give you a realistic ETA when you call.
What does emergency tarping involve, and how does it protect my home?
Our technicians inspect the damaged area, remove loose debris, and install an industrial-grade, UV-resistant tarp that is anchored with lumber planks and sand-bag ballast. The tarp covers all compromised shingles, decking, and underlayment, preventing further water intrusion, blocking wind uplift, and reducing the risk of mold growth until permanent repairs are made.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover emergency tarping and storm damage restoration?
Most policies treat emergency tarping as a covered loss because it is considered "reasonable mitigation"—steps you must take to prevent additional damage after a storm. We document the damage with photos, provide a detailed invoice, and can work directly with your adjuster to streamline the claim process. Always notify your insurer as soon as possible after the event.
Can you tarp and repair all roof types and sizes in Andersonville?
Yes. Our certified crews have experience with asphalt shingles, metal panels, tile, flat membranes (EPDM, TPO, PVC), and specialty roofs such as slate or cedar shake. We carry tarps in multiple sizes on every truck, enabling us to secure everything from small bungalows to large commercial buildings.
What are the next steps after the emergency tarp is installed?
Within 24–48 hours we schedule a full roof inspection to assess structural issues, decking condition, and the scope of permanent repairs. You’ll receive a written estimate, a timeline, and material options. Once you approve, we order materials, coordinate with your insurer if applicable, and set a date for full restoration. The tarp remains in place—and under our workmanship warranty—until repairs are complete.
