FAQs
What is emergency roof tarping and why do I need it after a storm?
Emergency roof tarping is the temporary installation of a heavy-duty, waterproof cover over storm-damaged sections of your roof. The tarp seals out rainwater, wind, and debris, preventing further structural damage, mold growth, and interior water intrusion until permanent repairs can be made. In Halls, sudden wind and hail events are common, so rapid tarping is often the first—and most important—step in protecting your home or business after a storm.
How quickly can your team arrive in Halls for tarping service?
We maintain on-call crews 24/7 and can typically be on-site anywhere in Halls within 1–3 hours of your call, weather and road conditions permitting. During widespread storm events, we triage requests based on severity of damage and safety concerns, but our goal is always same-day service. By pre-staging materials and equipment locally, we minimize wait times for all Halls residents.
What materials do you use for storm damage roof tarping and how long will they last?
We use industrial-grade 6–10 mil polyethylene or PVC-reinforced tarps that are UV-resistant and rated for high wind loads. They are secured with sandbags, furring strips, or temporary anchors depending on roof type (shingle, metal, flat). When properly installed, these tarps can withstand 30–90 days of exposure, giving you ample time to file insurance claims and schedule permanent repairs.
Does insurance cover emergency tarping and storm damage restoration?
Most homeowner and commercial property policies in Tennessee include coverage for emergency mitigation—such as tarping—when the roof damage is caused by a covered peril like wind, hail, or fallen trees. We document the damage with photos, provide itemized invoices, and work directly with your adjuster to streamline the claims process. Keep all receipts, as insurers often reimburse mitigation costs in addition to repair expenses.
Will tarping damage my existing roof or void my warranty?
No. Our certified technicians follow manufacturer and NRCA guidelines to avoid shingle lifting, nail over-penetration, or membrane punctures. We use non-invasive attachment methods whenever possible. Temporary tarping performed by a licensed professional is recognized by most roofing manufacturers and will not void material warranties or compromise future repair options.
What are the next steps after tarping – do you provide full roof repair or replacement services?
Yes. Once your roof is secured, we conduct a comprehensive inspection, prepare a repair or replacement estimate, and help you decide on the best long-term solution. Our services include shingle, metal, and flat roof repair, complete roof replacement, gutter replacement, and interior water damage restoration. Having a single contractor handle both emergency tarping and permanent repairs shortens project timelines and ensures accountability from start to finish.
