How it goes
Stop the opening, then handle the water
A roof that stays open through one more night of rain costs several times what the original damage did. The tarp is not the repair. It is what keeps the repair small.
Reinforced tarp sized to the opening and fastened to hold through the next system, not until the wind picks up.
Water that came through the ceiling is in the insulation and the drywall. Same extraction and drying as any water job.
Photos of the opening, the tarp, and every affected room, with moisture readings from the first day to the last.
There is no statewide roofing contractor licence in Texas, which is why emergency tarping can start the same day. City permit rules still apply to permanent repair.
We stop the water and dry the structure. Permanent roof work is a separate trade and a separate conversation.
Bruised shingles can look fine from the yard and still be failing. That is what the free inspection is for.
If anything moved or got cleared before we arrived, tell us. It matters for the file.
Common questions
What people ask about storm damage
Can you tarp tonight?
We call you back in under 10 minutes and tell you straight away whether a crew can reach you before the next rain. Daylight and wind decide what is safe to do on a roof.
How long does a tarp hold?
A properly fastened tarp holds for weeks, not days. It buys you the time to deal with the permanent repair without the inside getting worse.
Do you do the permanent roof repair?
No. We stop the water and dry the structure. Permanent roofing is a separate trade and we will tell you so rather than stretch into it.
What does my insurer need from me?
Dated photos of the damage, of the emergency work, and of every affected room. That is exactly what we hand you. We do not file or negotiate the claim.
An open roof gets worse every night.
Tarping takes hours. Replacing a soaked ceiling takes weeks. Call now, or send the details and we call you.
