FAQs
Why is an emergency tarp important after storm damage?
A professionally installed tarp seals openings created by wind, hail, or fallen limbs, preventing additional water intrusion, mold growth, and structural deterioration until permanent repairs can be scheduled. It also helps preserve personal belongings and maintains the integrity of your insurance claim by showing that you took reasonable steps to limit further loss.
How fast can you get to my home or business in Flintville?
We maintain on-call crews 24/7 and can typically arrive anywhere in Flintville within 1–2 hours of your call. During large-scale weather events we prioritize response by severity of damage and safety risk, but our goal is always same-day service so your roof is protected before the next round of rain or wind.
What type of tarp do you use and how long will it last?
We use commercial-grade, UV-resistant polyethylene or PVC tarps that are 16–20 mils thick—far stronger than retail hardware-store versions. When properly secured, they can protect a roof for 60–90 days, sometimes longer, giving you ample time to schedule a full inspection, file insurance paperwork, and plan permanent repairs.
Will a temporary tarp installation affect my insurance claim?
No. In fact, most insurers require policyholders to mitigate additional damage. We document the damage with photos before and after tarp installation and supply you with a detailed invoice and scope of work that you can include in your claim package, helping expedite approval for permanent restoration.
Is the tarp installation safe for my existing roof and can it withstand high winds?
Yes. Our technicians anchor the tarp to structural members—not just shingles—using wood strapping, sandbags, or weighted ballast to avoid puncturing healthy sections of your roof. When installed correctly, the system is rated to resist wind gusts of 70+ mph and heavy rainfall common in Tennessee storms.
What happens after the tarp is installed—do you handle permanent repairs too?
Absolutely. Once the tarp is in place we perform a full storm-damage assessment, prepare a repair or replacement estimate, and can coordinate directly with your insurance adjuster. Whether you need shingle replacement, decking repair, or a complete re-roof, our licensed and insured crew can manage the entire restoration process from start to finish.
