Common questions
Emergency roof tarping questions in Laurel
What roof damage do you tarp in Laurel?
When wind or a limb opens a roof in Laurel, 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. 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.
Do you repair roofs in Laurel?
No. We tarp the roof to stop water getting in, and we dry the water that already came inside. Permanent roof repairs go to a licensed roofer.
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.
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.
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.
