Emergency Roof Tarping
Rapid Response for Exposed Roofs
When severe roof damage leaves your home or business exposed, immediate action can help prevent additional damage. If a tornado, hailstorm, high winds, fire, fallen tree, or other event compromises your roof, emergency roof tarping can help keep your home secure. Our crews provide emergency roof tarping to cover exposed areas, help limit water intrusion, and stabilize your property while a thorough inspection and permanent repairs can be arranged. We understand that roof damage can be stressful and unexpected; that’s why we focus on responding quickly, securing the affected area, and providing straightforward guidance about the next steps.
Do You Need Emergency Roof Tarping?
How do you know if you need emergency roof tarping? Emergency roof tarping may be necessary if significant damage has left part of your roof exposed or unable to keep water out. Missing shingles or roofing panels, large holes, damaged flashing, fallen trees, fire damage, and severe storm damage can all create situations where additional weather could make the problem worse. If you can see exposed areas of the roof, water is entering the building, or the roof has major, visible damage, contact a roofing professional as soon as possible. A tarp can provide temporary protection while experts assess the damage and provide options for moving forward.

The Roof Tarping Process
The priority for roof tarping is to protect the property as quickly and safely as possible. Our crews work efficiently and effectively to assess the damage, cover and secure the area, and make sure your property has immediate protection against the weather. Once the roof is stabilized, we can discuss the next steps for a more thorough inspection and permanent repairs. Because every emergency is different, the exact tarping approach will depend on the type, extent and location of the damage, the condition of the roof, and the accessibility of the affected area. FixRoof follows these steps when installing emergency tarping:
Analyze and Survey the Area
Are power lines down? Is the structure safe?
Perform a Needs Analysis
We’ll determine how bad the damage is, how we can temporarily cover the area and determine what materials and tools are needed.
Remove Debris
We’ll remove any debris impeding the repair.
Measure the Area
We’ll take accurate measurements to determine the amount of material needed to ensure the tarp is safe and stable.
Complete Tarping
We’ll ensure any openings to the property are properly tarped against the elements.
Final Inspection
We’ll take a look at the job and ensure it can withstand the elements and provide as much safety and security as possible given the damage.
