Roof tarping after storm damage in Boca Raton

Roof damage in Boca Raton

When wind or a limb opens a roof in Boca Raton, a tarp is temporary protection until a licensed roofer repairs it. We cover past the edges of the damage and fasten it to hold in wind.

Hurricane wind and summer thunderstorms reach every street in Boca Raton. We board up broken openings, tarp damaged roofs, extract water, and dry the structure. Roof repairs go to a licensed roofer.

Local facts that shape the job in Boca Raton

The Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey puts Boca Raton at about 97,980 residents. The median home in Boca Raton was built around 1982 (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 42% 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. Roughly 9% of housing units are held for seasonal or recreational use; a manager or neighbor is often the one who calls for a tarp.

Stay safe

• Stay off the roof. Wet and damaged roofs are dangerous.
• Take photos from the yard and of every leak inside.
• Call your insurer and write down the claim number.

Documentation for your insurer

We document the roof damage before and after the tarp goes on, and any water damage inside. Coverage depends on your policy. We are not a public adjuster.
