FAQs
What should I do immediately after a storm damages my roof in Robbins?
First, make sure everyone is safe and stay clear of downed power lines or unstable structures. Take photos or videos of the damage for insurance purposes, then call our 24/7 emergency line. We’ll guide you through shutting off utilities if needed and dispatch a crew to install a weather-tight tarp to prevent further water intrusion.
How quickly can your crew arrive to install an emergency tarp in Robbins?
Because we stage materials and crews locally, we’re usually on-site within 1–3 hours of your call, even during widespread storm events. Our trucks carry reinforced tarps, anchoring systems, and safety gear so we can start protecting your home immediately upon arrival.
Why is emergency tarping important and how long will the tarp last?
A professionally installed tarp seals exposed decking and shingles, preventing rain from soaking insulation, drywall, and electrical systems. It also deters animals and limits mold growth. We use 8-mil or thicker UV-resistant tarps that can withstand wind gusts up to 70 mph. While a tarp is a temporary measure, it can reliably protect your roof for 30–90 days—long enough for insurance adjusters to inspect and for permanent repairs to be scheduled.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover the cost of tarping and storm damage restoration?
Most policies treat emergency tarping as a reasonable mitigation expense and reimburse it under the dwelling coverage section. We document all work, provide photos, and bill insurance-ready invoices. If you assign benefits or add us as a payee, we can bill your carrier directly, reducing out-of-pocket costs. Always check your policy or call your agent to confirm deductibles and coverage limits.
Do you only tarp roofs, or can you also handle full storm damage repairs?
We’re a turnkey storm-restoration contractor. After the tarp is in place, our licensed roofers and builders can replace shingles, decking, flashing, gutters, and even perform interior drywall and flooring repairs. Using one company from emergency response through final inspection speeds up the process, ensures consistent workmanship, and simplifies communication with your insurance adjuster.
Is it safe to stay in my home after the roof has been tarped?
In most cases, yes. A securely fastened tarp will keep water out and stabilize the structure until repairs are completed. However, if the storm compromised load-bearing walls, caused electrical hazards, or if significant water entered living spaces, we may recommend temporary relocation until a structural engineer or building inspector clears the home. Our technician will perform a safety check and advise you on the best course of action before leaving the site.
