FAQs
What should I do immediately after my roof is damaged by a storm in Harrison?
First, make sure everyone is safe and stay clear of any downed power lines or unstable structures. Then call our 24/7 emergency line. While you wait for our crew, take photos of the damage if it is safe to do so—these will help with your insurance claim. Do not attempt to climb onto the roof yourself; wet or wind-damaged surfaces are extremely hazardous.
How quickly can your team install an emergency tarp on my roof?
Because we station crews and materials in the Harrison area during storm season, we can usually arrive within 1–3 hours of your call, weather and road conditions permitting. Once on-site, most tarp installations take 30–90 minutes, depending on roof size, slope, and the extent of the damage.
Why is emergency tarping important, and how long can a tarp stay on my roof?
A properly secured tarp seals off openings caused by missing shingles, cracked decking, or fallen branches. This prevents additional water intrusion, mold growth, and structural deterioration. High-quality tarps installed by our technicians are UV-resistant and can safely remain in place for 60–90 days, giving you enough time to finalize insurance paperwork and schedule permanent repairs.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover the cost of emergency tarping and storm damage repairs?
In most policies, emergency tarping is considered a “reasonable and necessary” protective measure, so insurance typically reimburses the expense. We provide detailed photo documentation, itemized invoices, and can meet directly with your adjuster to streamline the claims process. Always notify your insurer promptly and review your specific policy’s wind, hail, and deductible clauses.
What types of storm damage do you handle besides roof tarping?
Our Haag-certified inspectors and restoration crews repair or replace shingles, metal panels, flashing, decking, gutters, skylights, and attic insulation. We also handle interior water mitigation, including drying, dehumidification, and drywall replacement, ensuring your entire home in Harrison is restored to pre-storm condition.
Are your technicians certified and familiar with local building codes in Harrison?
Yes. All field supervisors are OSHA 10-hour trained, and our installers carry manufacturer certifications for asphalt shingle, metal, and TPO systems. We pull permits through the Town of Harrison Building Department and follow the latest International Residential Code as adopted by Westchester County, so your repairs meet or exceed local regulations.
