FAQs
When should I request emergency roof tarping in Georgetown?
You should call for emergency tarping immediately after any event that leaves parts of your roof exposed—such as storm damage, fallen tree limbs, wind-blown shingles, fire damage, or sudden leaks. A tarp prevents further water intrusion, stops interior damage from spreading, and keeps your home safe until permanent repairs can be scheduled.
How fast can your team arrive at my Georgetown property?
Because we are locally based in Georgetown, our on-call crews can normally be on-site within 1–2 hours of your call, 24/7. During widespread storm events we triage the most critical situations first, but every customer receives real-time ETA updates so you know exactly when help is coming.
Will emergency tarping harm my existing roofing material?
No. We use heavy-duty 8–12 mil polyethylene tarps secured with wood battens or sandbags, not nails driven through the deck. All contact points are padded to avoid abrasion on shingles, metal, or tile. The tarp and fasteners are designed to be temporary and removable without leaving marks or compromising future repairs.
How much does emergency roof tarping cost in Georgetown?
Pricing depends on roof pitch, height, access, and the square footage that must be covered, but most emergency tarping jobs in Georgetown range from $250 to $750. Before we begin, you receive a written quote that details labor, materials, and any after-hours surcharge so there are no surprises.
Can you assist with my homeowners insurance claim?
Yes. We document the damage with photos and a written assessment, install the tarp to mitigate further loss (a requirement of most policies), and provide the invoice and damage report you need to file. We can also meet with the adjuster on-site to discuss the scope of permanent roof repairs.
How long can the tarp stay on my roof, and what are the next steps?
Our commercial-grade tarps are UV-stabilized and can safely protect your roof for 60–90 days. However, we recommend scheduling permanent repairs as soon as possible to avoid extended exposure. Once your repair date is set, we remove the tarp, dispose of it responsibly, and transition straight into fixing or replacing the damaged roofing system.
