FAQs
How quickly can you install an emergency roof tarp in Newport after a storm?
In most cases, our crews can arrive at your Newport property within 1–2 hours of your call, 24/7. We maintain stocked trucks with pre-cut tarps, lumber, and anchoring hardware so we can begin installation immediately and prevent further water intrusion.
What size and type of tarps do you use for storm-damaged roofs?
We carry heavy-duty, UV-resistant poly tarps ranging from 20 x 20 ft to 40 x 60 ft, as well as fire-retardant vinyl tarps for commercial applications. Our technicians select a tarp large enough to extend at least 3 ft past the damaged area, then secure it with 2 × 4 bracing, cap nails, and sandbag ballast to withstand Newport’s coastal winds.
Will an emergency tarp void my roof warranty or insurance coverage?
No. Insurers and manufacturers typically require you to mitigate further damage after a storm. A professionally installed tarp is considered a temporary protective measure and will not void an existing warranty or affect your claim. We document the damage with photos and provide a written report for your insurance adjuster.
How much does emergency roof tarping cost in Newport?
Pricing depends on roof pitch, height, access, and tarp size, but most residential tarping jobs range from $250–$750. This includes labor, materials, and a return visit to remove the tarp once permanent repairs begin. Many homeowners’ policies reimburse these costs when tied to a covered storm event.
How long can the tarp stay on my roof?
A properly secured tarp can protect your home for 60–90 days, giving you time to schedule permanent repairs. However, we recommend replacing or re-securing the tarp if high winds, heavy snow, or extended UV exposure occur. We offer routine check-ups at no extra charge during this period.
Do you also handle the full storm damage restoration after tarping?
Yes. In addition to emergency tarping, we provide complete storm damage restoration—roof repair or replacement, gutter and siding repair, interior water mitigation, and assistance with insurance paperwork. Having one licensed and insured contractor manage the entire process streamlines communication and speeds up your claim settlement.
