FAQs
What is emergency roof tarping and why might I need it in Halls?
Emergency roof tarping is the rapid installation of a heavy-duty, weather-resistant tarp over damaged sections of your roof to stop active leaks and prevent further structural or interior damage. In Halls, sudden windstorms, hail, falling tree limbs, or tornado activity can rip off shingles or puncture decking. A secure tarp buys time until permanent repairs can be made and helps you avoid costlier water intrusion and mold growth.
How quickly can your crew arrive for an emergency tarping call in Halls?
We maintain 24/7 on-call teams dedicated to the Halls area. In most cases we can dispatch a crew within 1 hour of your call and have the tarp installed the same day, even during nights, weekends, and holidays. Response times may vary during widespread weather events, but we prioritize life-safety and severe leak situations first.
Will my homeowners insurance cover the cost of emergency tarping and subsequent roof repairs?
Most homeowners policies view emergency tarping as a necessary “mitigation step” and will reimburse reasonable tarping costs as part of your overall storm-damage claim. We document the damage with photos, provide detailed invoices, and, if requested, can meet with your adjuster to streamline the claim process. Always notify your insurer promptly and keep copies of all receipts.
How long can a temporary tarp stay on my roof?
Our commercial-grade tarps are UV-resistant and securely anchored with furring strips, cap nails, or sandbag weights, allowing them to withstand the elements for 60–90 days under normal conditions. However, they are not a substitute for permanent repairs. We recommend scheduling a full roof inspection and repair or replacement as soon as possible to restore proper protection and maintain insurance compliance.
What should I do before the tarp crew arrives?
If it is safe, move valuables, electronics, and furniture away from active leak areas and place buckets or plastic sheeting to catch water. Shut off electricity in ceiling-affected rooms to prevent short circuits. Avoid climbing on the roof yourself—wet, damaged roofs are extremely slippery and hazardous. Our technicians bring all required safety gear and equipment.
