FAQs
What should I do immediately after storm damage to my roof in Madisonville?
First, make sure everyone in the home is safe and avoid walking on or near loose debris. If you can, take clear photos or video of the damage from ground level for insurance documentation. Then call our 24/7 emergency line. We’ll dispatch a crew to inspect the roof, secure any hazardous areas, and install a temporary tarp to stop active leaks and protect the interior.
How quickly can you install emergency tarps once I call?
Because storms can strike at any hour, we maintain on-call crews in Madisonville. In most cases we arrive within 1–2 hours of your call—often sooner if road conditions allow. Our trucks are stocked with commercial-grade tarps, sandbags, anchor boards, and safety gear so we can begin covering the damaged sections immediately after a rapid assessment.
Will a tarp really stop leaks and further damage until permanent repairs are made?
Yes. When installed correctly, a heavy-duty roof tarp forms a watertight barrier that prevents rain, wind-driven moisture, and debris from entering your home. We overlap the tarp past the damaged area, secure the edges to solid decking or rafters, and weight it down to withstand typical Madisonville wind gusts. This buys you time—days, weeks, or even a few months—to schedule full repairs without additional interior damage.
Do you work with my insurance company on storm damage claims?
Absolutely. We provide a detailed damage report, photographs, and an invoice for emergency tarping that you can submit to your insurer. Upon request, we can meet the adjuster on-site, explain the scope of damage, and supply an itemized estimate for permanent repairs. Most homeowner policies in Kentucky reimburse reasonable emergency mitigation costs, including tarping.
How much does emergency roof tarping cost in Madisonville?
Pricing depends on roof pitch, accessibility, and the size of the area that needs covering, but most residential tarping jobs fall between $350 and $950. That price includes the initial inspection, materials, labor, and a return visit within 7–10 days to verify the tarp is still secure. We’ll give you a firm quote before any work begins and can bill your insurance carrier directly if coverage is confirmed.
How long can a tarp safely stay on my roof before permanent repairs are completed?
Our commercial-grade poly tarps are UV-treated and can last up to 90 days in typical Madisonville weather. However, they are only a temporary solution. We recommend scheduling permanent repairs as soon as possible—ideally within 30–45 days—to avoid hidden moisture damage, mold growth, or policy complications with your insurer. We offer full storm restoration services and can put you on the repair calendar while the tarp is in place.
