FAQs
What should I do immediately after a storm damages my roof in Palmer?
First, make sure everyone in the home is safe and stay clear of any downed power lines or debris. If you can do so safely, take photos of the damage for insurance purposes. Then call our 24/7 emergency line. We will dispatch a certified crew to your Palmer property within hours to assess the roof and install a protective tarp to stop leaks and prevent additional damage.
How quickly can you install an emergency tarp on my roof?
Because storm damage requires urgent attention, we keep rapid-response crews on standby in Palmer year-round. In most cases we arrive within 1–3 hours of your call—day or night—and can have a professionally secured tarp in place the same visit. Severe regional events may slightly extend arrival times, but we prioritize homes with active leaks first.
Will the tarp really protect my home during Palmer’s harsh weather?
Yes. We use industrial-grade, UV-resistant tarps that are thick enough to repel heavy rain, hail, and wind gusts common to Palmer storms. Our technicians anchor the tarp to undamaged structural members and seal all edges to channel water away from vulnerable areas. While a tarp is a temporary solution, it reliably prevents interior water intrusion and mold growth until permanent repairs are completed.
Do you work with my homeowner’s insurance on storm damage claims?
Absolutely. We document the damage with photos, moisture readings, and a written assessment that meets insurer guidelines. Our staff can help you file the claim, communicate directly with your adjuster, and provide itemized estimates for both the emergency tarping and full roof restoration. This paperwork often accelerates approval and reduces out-of-pocket costs for Palmer homeowners.
How long can the temporary tarp stay in place before permanent repairs are done?
Our tarps are designed to hold up for 60–90 days under normal conditions, giving you ample time to schedule permanent roof repairs. However, Alaska’s freeze-thaw cycles, or Central Massachusetts’ nor’easters—depending on our Palmer location—can shorten that window. We recommend booking the restoration phase as soon as your claim is approved, and we offer priority scheduling for customers who used our tarping service.
What does your full storm damage restoration process include after the tarp is installed?
Once the weather stabilizes and the claim is approved, we return to remove the tarp and perform a comprehensive roof repair or replacement. This can involve replacing shingles, decking, flashing, and damaged gutters; checking attic insulation and ventilation; and performing a final leak test. We finish by hauling away debris and providing a transferable workmanship warranty, ensuring your Palmer home is fully restored and protected against future storms.
