What emergency tarping includes
- Photograph the roof damage before it is covered, for your insurer.
- Lay a heavy-duty tarp well past the edges of the damaged section.
- Secure the tarp with battens and fasteners so it stays put in the next blow.
- Close broken openings with metal panels while we are there.
- Leave you a record of what was covered and why.
While you wait
- Stay off the roof. Wet and damaged roofs are dangerous.
- Catch drips and move furniture and electronics out of the way.

Documentation for your insurer
Most policies expect you to prevent further damage after a loss, and an emergency tarp does exactly that. We document the tarp and the damage for your insurer. You keep the claim.
Alva by the numbers
The median home in Alva was built around 1985 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey); roofs on homes of that age have often been replaced or patched at least once, and older decking can be weaker under a tarp. About 24% of housing units in Alva are mobile or manufactured homes, where metal and membrane roofs on manufactured homes need careful tarping so fasteners do not add new leaks. The Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey puts Alva at about 2,986 residents. Location: roughly 14 miles northeast of Fort Myers in Lee County.
