Emergency situations we respond to

Tarping is temporary protection, not a repair

A properly installed tarp buys time and helps prevent further interior damage while a permanent repair, permit or insurance step is worked out. It is not a substitute for repairing the roof, and it should not be left in place indefinitely.

What to do right now

Move belongings out of the affected area, place containers under active drips, photograph everything before cleanup, and do not go on the roof yourself — wet Florida roofs and storm-damaged decking are dangerous. Then call (239) 919-4485.

Frequently asked questions

Do you tarp roofs at night or on weekends?

Call (239) 919-4485 and we will tell you honestly what we can get to and when. Safe access and weather conditions determine what is possible.

How long can a tarp stay on?

Treat it as short-term protection. Tarps degrade in Florida sun and wind, and should be replaced by a permanent repair as soon as practical.

Should I file a claim before or after tarping?

Protect the property first and document everything with photos. Most policies expect you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage.
