Roof tarping after storm damage in Gulf Gate Estates

Why Gulf Gate Estates roofs need tarps

Summer squalls and tropical systems both tear at roofs in Gulf Gate Estates. Once it is safe to climb, we cover the opening, board up any broken glass, and start drying ceilings and insulation below.

Gulf Gate Estates 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.

Before the tarp goes on

• Do not climb on a wet or damaged roof yourself.
• Catch drips and move furniture and electronics out of the way.
• Take photos from the yard and of every leak inside.

Claims paperwork

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.

From the roof to the rooms below

1. Document the damage with photos before the tarp goes on.
2. Cover the damaged area with a heavy tarp that extends past the damage.
3. Secure the tarp with battens and fasteners so it stays put in the next blow.
4. Board up any broken windows or doors at the same visit.
5. Give you photos and a written record to hand your roofer and your insurer.
