FAQs
What qualifies as a roofing emergency that requires tarping in Sale Creek?
Any storm-related event that leaves your roof exposed to the elements—such as missing shingles, punctures from fallen limbs, lifted flashing, or large hail impacts—constitutes an emergency. If water can infiltrate your attic or living space, a tarp installation is urgently needed to prevent further structural damage, mold growth, and interior property loss.
How quickly can you respond to a storm-damaged roof in the Sale Creek area?
Our on-call crews are locally based and available 24/7. In most weather and traffic conditions we can be on-site anywhere in Sale Creek within 1–2 hours of your call. During regional disaster surges we triage requests by severity but still aim for same-day service to stabilize every roof we schedule.
What does the emergency tarping process involve?
1) Initial safety inspection to identify electrical hazards and structural instability. 2) Removal of loose debris and wet insulation around the breach. 3) Installation of a commercial-grade polyethylene tarp, secured with 1×3 furring strips and corrosion-resistant fasteners to withstand winds up to 70 mph. 4) Documentation (photos, notes, moisture readings) for your insurance claim. 5) A follow-up proposal for permanent roof repairs or replacement once the weather clears.
Will my homeowners insurance cover the cost of tarping and storm restoration?
Most policies written in Tennessee include coverage for emergency mitigation—such as tarping—to prevent additional damage after a covered peril (wind, hail, fallen trees). We work directly with all major insurers, providing the detailed photos, scope sheets, and Xactimate estimates they require. You are typically responsible only for your deductible, but always confirm with your carrier.
How long can I safely leave a tarp on my roof?
Our heavy-duty tarps are rated for 90 days of continuous exposure, but we recommend replacing them with a permanent repair within 2–4 weeks whenever possible. Extended exposure may void certain material warranties and your insurer could limit coverage if you delay final repairs beyond a reasonable timeframe.
Do you handle full storm damage restoration, or just the temporary tarping?
We provide turnkey service: emergency tarping, damage assessment, insurance claim assistance, and complete roof restoration—including shingle, metal, or low-slope systems—plus related siding, gutter, and interior repairs. Dealing with one accountable contractor streamlines the process and gets your Sale Creek home back to pre-loss condition faster.
