When You Need Emergency Roof Tarping
Not sure if you need emergency help? If any of these situations sound like yours, call us right away. The faster we cover your roof, the less damage your home will suffer.
Storm Damage
High winds can rip off shingles or tear away entire sections of roofing. After a bad storm, you may see daylight through your roof or find shingles scattered in your yard. A tarp stops rain from pouring into your home while you wait for permanent repairs.
Tree Damage
When a tree or large branch crashes through your roof, you need help fast. Even a small hole lets in huge amounts of water. We'll cover the damaged area quickly so you can deal with tree removal on your own timeline.
Fire Damage
After a fire, your roof may have burn-through spots or holes from firefighting efforts. These openings let in rain and animals. Emergency tarping protects what's left of your home during the recovery process.
Active Leaks
If water is dripping through your ceiling right now, you can't wait for a regular appointment. Emergency tarping stops the leak at its source so your home doesn't suffer more damage every time it rains.
Not sure if it's an emergency? If you can see sky through your roof, if water is coming in, or if more rain is coming—it's an emergency. Call us at (404) 797-8115 and we'll help you figure out what to do.
How Emergency Tarping Works
We've helped hundreds of Atlanta-area homeowners protect their homes after roof damage. Here's what happens when you call us.
You Call Us
Tell us what happened and where you're located. We'll ask about the size of the damage and whether water is coming in. This helps us bring the right equipment.
We Head Your Way
Our emergency crew loads up tarps, lumber, fasteners, and safety gear. We get to your property as fast as safely possible—usually within an hour or two for most of metro Atlanta.
We Check the Damage
Once we arrive, we take a quick look at the damage to make a plan. We figure out how big of an area needs covering and the best way to secure the tarp.
We Install the Tarp
We spread heavy-duty tarps over the damaged section and extend them past the edges. Then we secure the tarps with boards, screws, or weights so wind and rain can't get underneath.
We Take Photos
We document the damage and our work with photos. These are helpful for your insurance claim. You'll have proof that you acted quickly to protect your home.
We Talk Next Steps
Before we leave, we'll explain what we did and discuss options for permanent repairs. There's no pressure—you can take time to think things through now that your home is protected.
Types of Tarps We Use
We don't use cheap hardware store tarps that rip in the first storm. Our emergency tarping materials are built to last until you're ready for permanent repairs.
Heavy-Duty Poly Tarps
These thick, waterproof tarps are our go-to for most emergency jobs. They're tough enough to handle wind and rain while we wait for permanent repairs. The blue or silver coating reflects heat and blocks UV rays.
Reinforced Edge Tarps
For larger damaged areas, we use tarps with reinforced edges and built-in grommets every few feet. This lets us secure the tarp at multiple points so it won't lift or flap in the wind.
Shrink Wrap
In some cases, we use industrial shrink wrap that forms a tight seal over the damaged area. This works well for oddly shaped damage or areas where traditional tarps are hard to secure.
Proper Installation Matters
A tarp that blows off in the next storm doesn't help anyone. That's why we take time to secure every tarp properly. We use furring strips or boards along the edges, anchor points at regular intervals, and extra fastening in corners. The goal is a tarp that stays put through wind, rain, and Georgia weather until your roof gets fixed.
We also extend tarps past the damaged area—usually 3 to 4 feet on each side. This stops water from sneaking under the edges and gives us room to work when it's time for permanent repairs.
What Happens After We Tarp Your Roof
Emergency tarping is just the first step. Here's what comes next and how we can help.
File Your Insurance Claim
Contact your insurance company to report the damage. Use the photos we took as part of your claim. Most policies cover storm damage and emergency repairs. We can provide documentation to support your claim.
Get a Full Inspection
Once things calm down, we'll do a full roof inspection. This helps us find all the damage—not just what's obvious. Sometimes storm damage hides in places you can't see from the ground. We'll give you an honest report.
Plan Permanent Repairs
Based on the damage, we'll recommend either a roof repair or a full roof replacement. We'll explain your options, give you a written estimate, and work with your schedule. No pressure—the tarp buys you time to make the right decision.
How Much Does Emergency Tarping Cost?
We know cost is on your mind, especially when you're already dealing with damage. Emergency tarping prices vary based on several factors. We don't charge by the hour—we charge by the job, so there are no surprises.
The good news is that many homeowner's insurance policies cover emergency tarping as part of storm damage claims. It's considered "mitigation"—protecting your home from further damage. Save your receipt and include it in your claim.
When you call us, we'll give you an estimate before we start work. No hidden fees, no surprise charges.
What Affects the Price
- Size of the damaged area
- Roof pitch and accessibility
- Time of day (overnight vs. daytime)
- Type of damage (simple hole vs. large section)
- Materials needed
