FAQs
What should I do immediately after storm damage to my roof in Crab Orchard?
First ensure everyone’s safety by staying clear of downed power lines and potential collapse areas. Then call a licensed local roofing contractor that offers 24/7 emergency tarp service—like us—so we can inspect the damage, stop active leaks with commercial-grade tarps, and document everything for your insurance claim.
How fast can you install an emergency tarp on my roof?
Because Crab Orchard often sees fast-moving storms, we keep crews on standby. In most cases we can arrive within 1–3 hours of your call, day or night. The actual tarp installation usually takes 30–90 minutes, depending on roof height, pitch, and the extent of the damage.
Will the tarp really keep my home dry until repairs are made?
Yes. We use 8-mil to 12-mil UV-resistant polyethylene tarps secured with 1x3 furring strips and corrosion-resistant screws. When installed correctly, they shed rain and stand up to high winds for weeks or even months, giving you time to schedule permanent roof repairs or a full replacement.
Does my homeowners insurance cover emergency tarping and storm restoration?
Most Crab Orchard homeowners policies treat emergency tarping as a covered "mitigation" expense because it prevents further damage. We photograph the damage before and after tarping, fill out the required paperwork, and work directly with your adjuster to help maximize your claim and minimize out-of-pocket costs.
What happens after the tarp is installed?
After temporary protection is in place, we perform a full roof assessment—shingles, decking, flashing, gutters, and attic moisture levels. We then provide a detailed repair or replacement estimate, including material options and timelines. Once you approve the scope, we schedule permanent work and coordinate inspections with the city of Crab Orchard if permits are required.
How much does emergency tarping cost in Crab Orchard?
Prices vary with roof size, slope, and accessibility, but for most single-family homes the cost ranges from $250 to $750. This fee covers labor, tarp material, fasteners, photos, and a written damage report. We offer free estimates up front and will apply any tarp charges toward the final repair cost if you hire us for the restoration.
