What opens roofs in Longboat Key
Summer squalls and tropical systems both tear at roofs in Longboat Key. Once it is safe to climb, we cover the opening, board up any broken glass, and start drying ceilings and insulation below.
As a low or barrier location, Longboat Key takes both surge and wind. After a storm we secure openings with metal panels, extract water that came in, and dry walls and floors before mold starts.
Stay safe
- Do not climb on a wet or damaged roof yourself.
- Keep everyone away from bulging or sagging ceilings.
- Report the damage and keep the claim number handy.
Know your Longboat Key property
The Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey puts Longboat Key at about 7,479 residents. Longboat Key's median age is roughly 72. If a relative or property manager is handling things for you, we send them the same documentation. Roughly 48% of housing units are held for seasonal or recreational use; a manager or neighbor is often the one who calls for a tarp. About 58% 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 roof damage do you tarp in Longboat Key?
Summer squalls and tropical systems both tear at roofs in Longboat Key. Once it is safe to climb, we cover the opening, board up any broken glass, and start drying ceilings and insulation below.

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.
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.
