FAQs
When should I call for emergency roof tarping in Sharps Chapel?
You should contact us immediately after any event—such as high winds, hail, fallen trees, or fire—that leaves holes, missing shingles, or visible leaks in your roof. Quick tarping prevents further water intrusion, mold growth, and structural damage, buying you vital time until permanent repairs can be completed.
What does an emergency tarping service include?
Our team arrives with commercial-grade tarps, anchor boards, and safety gear. We first inspect the damage, remove loose debris, secure the tarp over all affected areas, and seal the edges to channel water away from the interior. If needed, we also perform temporary board-ups, install moisture barriers inside the attic, and document everything for your insurance claim.
How long can a tarp protect my roof before permanent repairs are necessary?
A professionally installed tarp can safeguard your home for 60–90 days, depending on weather conditions. However, UV exposure and wind can weaken the material over time, so we recommend scheduling permanent repairs as soon as possible—ideally within four weeks—especially during Sharps Chapel’s stormy spring and fall seasons.
Will my homeowners insurance cover emergency tarping and subsequent roof repairs?
In most cases, yes. Insurers typically classify tarping as a necessary mitigation measure to prevent additional damage after a covered peril. We provide detailed photos, measurements, and invoices that meet insurance documentation standards, and we can work directly with your adjuster to streamline the claim process.
How quickly can your crew reach my property in Sharps Chapel?
Because we are based in Union County, we maintain on-call crews 24/7. Under normal conditions we can arrive anywhere in Sharps Chapel within 60–90 minutes of your call. During widespread storm events, we prioritize homes with active leaks or structural risks and keep you updated with real-time arrival estimates.
What factors influence the cost of emergency tarping and roof repair?
Pricing depends on the size of the damaged area, roof pitch, height, accessibility, and the need for additional services such as debris removal or framing stabilization. Emergency calls made overnight or during severe weather may incur a premium. We provide a written, no-obligation estimate on site before any work begins, and we never charge hidden fees.
