FAQs
What qualifies as an emergency roof tarping situation in Flintville?
Any sudden roof damage that leaves the interior of your home exposed to water, wind, or animals—such as storm-blown shingles, fallen tree limbs, hail punctures, or large leaks—requires immediate tarping. Because Flintville can experience strong thunderstorms and occasional tornado activity, quick temporary coverage is crucial to prevent structural rot, mold, and further shingle loss until permanent repairs can be completed.
How quickly can you get a crew to my Flintville property for tarping?
We maintain on-call crews 24/7 and can usually arrive within 1–3 hours of your call anywhere in the Flintville area, including rural routes off U.S.-64 and Huntsville Hwy. Our trucks carry pre-cut reinforced tarps, anchors, and safety gear so we can begin securing the roof as soon as we arrive.
Will my homeowners insurance cover emergency tarping and subsequent roof repairs?
Most homeowners insurance policies treat emergency tarping as a covered mitigation expense, provided the damage was caused by a peril named in your policy (wind, hail, fallen tree, etc.). We document the damage with photos, provide a written invoice, and can communicate directly with your adjuster to streamline the claim and ensure you’re reimbursed for both the tarp installation and the permanent repair work.
How long can an emergency tarp safely stay on my roof?
A professionally installed commercial-grade tarp can protect your roof for 60–90 days, giving you enough time to schedule full repairs and process insurance claims. However, prolonged sun exposure, high winds, or additional storms can degrade a tarp more quickly, so we recommend scheduling your permanent repair or replacement as soon as possible and requesting a free tarp inspection if severe weather hits again.
Is it safe to attempt roof tarping myself?
Roof tarping requires climbing onto a potentially unstable surface, working near sharp edges, and anchoring material under tension—all hazards that increase after a storm. Our technicians use fall-arrest harnesses, roof jacks, and industrial tarps to secure the area without causing additional damage. For your safety and to protect your insurance claim, we strongly advise leaving emergency tarping to licensed and insured professionals.
How much does emergency roof tarping cost in Flintville?
Pricing depends on roof pitch, height, and the square footage that needs to be covered. In Flintville, most single-family homes fall between $250 and $600 for a same-day tarp, including materials and labor. Larger or steeper roofs, or jobs requiring debris removal and board-up services, can increase the total. We provide a no-obligation estimate on arrival, and there are no after-hours surcharges or hidden fees.
