FAQs
Why would I need emergency tarp roofing after a storm in Caryville?
High winds, hail, or falling limbs can tear off shingles and expose the roof deck in minutes. A professionally installed tarp seals those openings, preventing rainwater from saturating insulation, drywall, and electrical components. In Caryville’s humid climate, moisture intrusion can lead to mold growth within 24–48 hours, so a tarp is the fastest way to stop further structural and health-related damage until permanent repairs are made.
How fast can your crew get a tarp on my roof in Caryville?
We operate a 24/7 rapid-response team. Once you call, a local project manager typically arrives within 1–3 hours to inspect the damage. If conditions are safe (no active lightning or winds above 40 mph), our certified installers can have a commercial-grade tarp secured the same day, often in under two hours, protecting your home before the next rain cell moves through the Big South Fork region.
What kind of tarp do you use, and how long will it last?
We use 8- to 12-mil UV-resistant polyethylene tarps reinforced with woven scrim and grommeted edges. They’re fastened with 1×3 furring strips and corrosion-resistant screws—no nails driven directly into your shingles. Installed correctly, these tarps can withstand typical Caryville weather for 60–90 days, giving you a secure window to coordinate permanent roof repairs without further leakage.
Will tarp installation affect my storm-damage insurance claim?
No. Insurers actually expect homeowners to perform “reasonable mitigation” to prevent additional damage. A dated photo report and invoice from our licensed team document that you acted promptly, which helps—not hurts—your claim. We can meet your adjuster on-site, provide the damage assessment, and include tarp costs in the final claim package so you’re properly reimbursed.
Is it safe to stay in the house once the tarp is up?
In most cases, yes. A correctly installed tarp keeps water out and relieves structural stress, making the interior safe to occupy. We’ll check attic moisture levels, set up drying equipment if needed, and advise you on any compromised electrical or ceiling areas. If we detect severe structural issues, we’ll recommend a temporary relocation and coordinate with local relief services.
Do you also handle the full roof restoration after the tarp?
Absolutely. The same team that installs your emergency tarp can perform a thorough inspection, prepare a detailed scope of work, and replace shingles, decking, flashing, and gutters as needed. We’re certified by leading shingle manufacturers, so your new roof will carry full material and workmanship warranties. Working with one contractor streamlines scheduling, insurance paperwork, and keeps your Caryville property protected from start to finish.
