Roof damage in Captiva
A Captiva roof that lost shingles, tile, or a section of decking lets every afternoon storm into the attic. We photograph the damage, lay a heavy tarp well past the opening, and batten it down.
Hurricane wind and summer thunderstorms reach every street in Captiva. We board up broken openings, tarp damaged roofs, extract water, and dry the structure. Roof repairs go to a licensed roofer.
Who pays, and who keeps the claim
Tarping is temporary protection, not a roof repair. Your roofer handles the permanent fix; we give you and your insurer the photos and scope for the emergency work.
Captiva by the numbers
Captiva is about 24 miles west of Fort Myers. Median year built: 1985. 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. Population: about 151 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimate). About 45% 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.
What emergency tarping includes
- Document the damage with photos before the tarp goes on.
- Lay a heavy-duty tarp well past the edges of the damaged section.
- Close broken openings with metal panels while we are there.
- Extract water that came in and set drying equipment in the rooms below.

Common questions
Emergency roof tarping questions in Captiva
What roof damage do you tarp in Captiva?
A Captiva roof that lost shingles, tile, or a section of decking lets every afternoon storm into the attic. We photograph the damage, lay a heavy tarp well past the opening, and batten it down. We cover the damaged area, fasten the tarp to hold in wind, and dry any water that came inside. Call (239) 688-2880, 24/7.
Does insurance pay for emergency tarping?
Many policies treat emergency tarping as reasonable work to prevent further damage, but coverage depends on your policy. We document the work for your insurer.
How long can a roof tarp stay on?
A tarp is temporary. It is meant to keep water out until a licensed roofer can repair the roof. After a big storm that can take a while, so we fasten it to hold through wind and rain.
Can you tarp a roof during a storm?
No one should be on a roof in high wind or lightning. We tarp as soon as conditions are safe, and in the meantime we can help with water inside.
