Bradenton Beach emergency roof tarps

Bradenton Beach roofs and wind

Gulf-facing roofs in Bradenton Beach catch the full force of tropical wind. Tile and membrane roofs both need a secure temporary cover after storm damage.

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

Before the tarp goes on

• Do not climb on a wet or damaged roof yourself.
• Take photos from the yard and of every leak inside.
• Report the damage and keep the claim number handy.

What the Census says about Bradenton Beach housing

About 12% of housing units in Bradenton Beach are mobile or manufactured homes, where metal and membrane roofs on manufactured homes need careful tarping so fasteners do not add new leaks. Median year built: 1973. That matters because roofs on homes of that age have often been replaced or patched at least once, and older decking can be weaker under a tarp. Roughly 49% of housing units are held for seasonal or recreational use; a manager or neighbor is often the one who calls for a tarp. About 31% 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.

Insurance and your claim

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. Lay a heavy-duty tarp well past the edges of the damaged section.
2. Fasten and weight the tarp so it holds in wind.
3. Board up any broken windows or doors at the same visit.
4. Extract water that came in and set drying equipment in the rooms below.
5. Leave you a record of what was covered and why.
