Emergency roof tarping in Bear Creek, FL

Tarping after storms in Bear Creek

Manufactured-home roofs in Bear Creek are especially vulnerable to wind. We tarp metal and membrane roofs carefully and dry the interior.

Bear Creek is inland from the Gulf, so wind and heavy rain are the main storm threats: lifted shingles, broken windows, and water through soffits and sliders. We tarp, board up, extract, and dry.

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.

What emergency tarping includes

1. Photograph the roof damage before it is covered, for your insurer.
2. Lay a heavy-duty tarp well past the edges of the damaged section.
3. Board up any broken windows or doors at the same visit.
4. Dry the ceilings, walls, and floors that took water through the roof.
5. Give you photos and a written record to hand your roofer and your insurer.

Bear Creek housing at a glance

Bear Creek is about 5 miles west of St. Petersburg. Roughly 15% of housing units are held for seasonal or recreational use; a manager or neighbor is often the one who calls for a tarp. About 28% of units are in buildings with 10 or more units, so flat and low-slope roofs on larger buildings need a different cover than a house. Population: about 2,066 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimate).

Before the tarp goes on

• Do not climb on a wet or damaged roof yourself.
• If a ceiling is sagging with water, stay out from under it.
• Take photos from the yard and of every leak inside.
