FAQs
What qualifies as an emergency tarping situation after a storm in Strawberry Plains?
An emergency tarping situation exists when a storm has left portions of your roof exposed—missing shingles, punctures from fallen limbs, lifted flashing, or holes that allow water intrusion. If interior ceilings are leaking, insulation is getting wet, or structural decking is visible, you should request emergency tarping immediately to prevent further water damage, mold growth, and potential structural issues.
How quickly can your team arrive to tarp my roof in Strawberry Plains?
Because storms often strike without warning, we keep on-call crews ready 24/7. In most cases we can dispatch a certified crew to any Strawberry Plains address within 1–2 hours of your call, weather and road conditions permitting. During widespread regional events we operate a priority list, giving first response to homes with active water penetration or safety hazards.
Will the emergency tarp damage my roof or void my manufacturer warranty?
No. We use breathable, UV-resistant polyethylene or reinforced vinyl tarps secured with non-penetrating sandbags, weighted boards, or limited fasteners placed only in already-damaged areas. This method protects the intact portions of your roof and will not void typical shingle, metal, or low-slope membrane warranties. Once permanent repairs are scheduled, all temporary materials are safely removed.
How much does emergency tarping cost and will insurance cover it?
Costs depend on roof pitch, height, accessibility, and square footage but generally range from $250–$750 for most single-family homes in Strawberry Plains. If your homeowners insurance policy covers wind or hail damage, the carrier normally reimburses reasonable emergency mitigation expenses under the “temporary repairs” or “mitigation” section of your policy. We provide detailed invoices and photos to streamline your claim.
What happens after the tarp is installed?
The tarp is a temporary measure designed to last 30–90 days. During that time we perform a full storm-damage inspection, document findings with photos and an itemized repair estimate, and assist with filing your insurance claim if requested. Once your claim is approved—or if you choose to self-pay—we schedule permanent repairs or a full roof replacement, remove the tarp, and restore your roof to pre-storm condition or better.
Do you handle other storm-related exterior repairs besides roof tarping?
Yes. We are a turnkey storm-restoration contractor for Strawberry Plains and surrounding Knox and Jefferson counties. Beyond tarping, we repair or replace shingles, metal panels, gutters, fascia, soffits, skylights, ridge vents, and attic insulation damaged by water. Our crews also perform interior drywall and paint restoration caused by roof leaks, providing a single point of contact from emergency response through final reconstruction.
