The Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey puts Memphis at about 10,923 residents. Location: roughly 4 miles north of Bradenton in Manatee County.

Claims paperwork

We document the roof damage before and after the tarp goes on, and any water damage inside. Coverage depends on your policy. We are not a public adjuster.

From the roof to the rooms below

  1. Document the damage with photos before the tarp goes on.
  2. Lay a heavy-duty tarp well past the edges of the damaged section.
  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. Leave you a record of what was covered and why.
