Emergency roof tarping in Indian Shores, FL

Roofs and storms in Indian Shores

When wind or a limb opens a roof in Indian Shores, 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 Indian Shores. 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

• Stay off the roof. Wet and damaged roofs are dangerous.
• Put buckets under drips and move belongings away from leaks.
• Keep everyone away from bulging or sagging ceilings.

Know your Indian Shores property

Roughly 60% of housing units are held for seasonal or recreational use; a manager or neighbor is often the one who calls for a tarp. About 77% 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. Indian Shores is about 14 miles northwest of St. Petersburg. Median year built: 1981. 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.

What emergency tarping includes

1. Lay a heavy-duty tarp well past the edges of the damaged section.
2. Secure the tarp with battens and fasteners so it stays put in the next blow.
3. Close broken openings with metal panels while we are there.
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.

Documentation for your insurer

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.
