FAQs
What situations in Luttrell require emergency roof tarping?
Emergency tarping is needed any time your roof sustains sudden damage that leaves the interior exposed—such as wind-blown shingles, fallen tree limbs, fire damage, or leaks after heavy rain or hail. A tarp provides a temporary, watertight barrier until proper repairs can be made.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency tarping call in Luttrell?
Because storm damage can worsen by the hour, our crews are on-call 24/7. In most cases we arrive within 1–2 hours of your call anywhere in Luttrell or the surrounding Union County area, even on nights, weekends, and holidays.
Will insurance cover the cost of emergency tarping and roof repairs?
Most homeowners policies pay for both the emergency tarp and the permanent roof repair when the damage is caused by a covered peril such as wind or hail. We document the damage with photos, provide the insurer with an itemized estimate, and work directly with your adjuster to streamline the claim.
How long can a roof tarp safely stay in place?
A professionally installed, heavy-duty 8- to 10-mill reinforced tarp can protect your roof for 60–90 days. However, it is best to schedule permanent repairs as soon as materials and weather allow, because extended exposure to sun and wind can degrade even high-quality tarps.
Is emergency tarping safe for all roof types?
Yes. We secure tarps on asphalt shingles, metal panels, wood shakes, and low-slope membranes without causing further harm. Crews use non-invasive anchoring methods and fall-protection equipment to ensure both roof integrity and worker safety.
What should I do before the tarping crew arrives?
If water is entering your home, place buckets or plastic sheeting under leaks and move valuables out of harm’s way. Turn off electricity in affected ceiling areas if water is dripping near fixtures. Then call us with details about the damage—roof height, roof type, and any safety concerns—so we can bring the correct materials and equipment.
