FAQs
What is emergency roof tarping and when is it necessary?
Emergency roof tarping is the temporary installation of a heavy-duty, waterproof tarp over damaged sections of your roof to stop active leaks and protect the interior of your home until permanent repairs can be completed. It is necessary after events such as severe storms, high winds, fallen tree limbs, fire damage, or any incident that leaves shingles missing, decking exposed, or water entering the house. In Walland’s unpredictable weather, prompt tarping prevents further structural deterioration, mold growth, and costly interior damage.
How quickly can Roofing Done Right reach my Walland property after I call?
We operate a 24/7 emergency response team dedicated to the Walland area. In most cases, our crew can be on-site within 1–2 hours of your call, day or night. During widespread storm events, arrival may take slightly longer, but we triage requests by severity to ensure homes with active leaks or safety hazards are addressed first. Our trucks are pre-loaded with tarps, lumber, sandbags, and safety gear so we can start work immediately upon arrival.
Will the tarp or installation process damage my existing shingles or roof materials?
No. Our technicians are trained to secure tarps using non-invasive methods whenever possible—such as weighted sandbags, anchor boards placed over ridges, and limited screw fasteners into structural framing rather than the visible roof surface. We also install a protective underlayment between the tarp and roof to reduce friction and prevent shingle granule loss. When the tarp is removed for permanent repairs, your roof will be in the same or better condition than when we arrived.
How long can an emergency tarp safely remain on my roof?
A professionally installed tarp can protect your roof for 60–90 days, giving you sufficient time to schedule permanent repairs or a full replacement. However, tarps are not designed to withstand multiple severe weather cycles indefinitely. We recommend arranging follow-up repairs as soon as possible, inspecting the tarp after every major storm, and contacting us if you notice loosening, pooling water, or new leaks.
Do you work with homeowners’ insurance companies on emergency tarping claims?
Yes. Roofing Done Right documents every emergency tarping job with time-stamped photos, written damage assessments, and itemized invoices that meet insurer requirements. We can meet adjusters on site, provide all paperwork, and communicate directly with your carrier to help streamline claim approval and reimbursement for both the temporary tarping and the permanent roof repair or replacement.
What should I do before your crew arrives for an emergency tarping?
1. Prioritize safety—stay out of rooms where water is actively dripping or ceiling sagging is visible. 2. If you can do so safely, shut off electricity to affected areas to prevent shock hazards. 3. Place buckets or plastic sheeting under interior leaks to catch water and move valuables away. 4. Clear vehicles, patio furniture, and debris from your driveway and around the house to give our crew ladder access. 5. Secure pets and inform family members that roofers will be working overhead. Following these steps allows us to start tarping immediately and minimizes further damage to your Walland home.
