FAQs
When should I request an emergency tarp for my roof in Maryville?
You should call for an emergency tarp immediately after any event that leaves openings or major damage in the roof deck—such as wind-torn shingles, fallen tree limbs, hail strikes, or fire damage. A tarp prevents additional water intrusion, mold growth, and structural deterioration while you arrange for a full repair. Because Maryville often experiences sudden thunderstorms and the occasional hailstorm, acting fast can save thousands in interior damage.
How quickly can your crew arrive to install a tarp in Maryville?
We maintain on-call crews 24/7. In most cases we can be on-site anywhere in Maryville or greater Blount County within 1–2 hours of your call, day or night. During widespread storm events we triage by severity, but our goal is always same-day service to keep your home dry before the next round of rain.
What type of tarp do you use and how long will it last?
We use industrial-grade, UV-resistant 8- to 10-mil polyethylene tarps paired with treated 2×4 furring strips and corrosion-resistant screws. Installed correctly, these tarps can withstand normal wind and rain for 60–90 days—plenty of time to schedule a permanent repair. If a long lead time on materials is expected, we perform periodic inspections and can re-secure or replace the tarp at no additional labor charge.
Will tarp installation damage my roof or void my manufacturer warranty?
No. All fasteners are placed into structural members—never through flashing, plumbing boots, or other critical areas—to avoid future leaks. When we transition to permanent repair, we remove the tarp and fasteners, replace the affected shingles or panels, and seal any holes. This process is recognized by major shingle manufacturers and insurance carriers as a temporary protective measure that does not void your roof warranty.
How much does emergency tarp service cost and is it covered by insurance?
Pricing depends on roof pitch and the size of the affected area, but most residential tarp jobs in Maryville range from $350 to $650. If your roof was damaged by a covered peril (wind, hail, falling objects, fire, etc.), homeowners insurance typically reimburses the full tarp cost under the “reasonable emergency repairs” provision of your policy. We document the damage with photos and provide an itemized invoice to make the claim process straightforward.
What happens after the tarp is installed—do you also handle the permanent repair?
Yes. Once your home is watertight, we perform a full inspection, prepare a detailed repair or replacement estimate, and meet with your insurance adjuster if a claim is filed. Our licensed roofing team handles everything—from shingle or metal roof replacement to decking repairs, gutter work, and final inspections—so you work with one trusted local contractor from emergency response through project completion.
