North Sarasota emergency roof tarps

Roof damage in North Sarasota

A North Sarasota roof that lost shingles, tile, or a section of decking lets every afternoon storm into the attic. We photograph the damage, lay a heavy tarp well past the opening, and batten it down.

North Sarasota 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

• Stay off the roof. Wet and damaged roofs are dangerous.
• Put buckets under drips and move belongings away from leaks.
• Photograph the damage from the ground and inside.

North Sarasota housing at a glance

Population: about 2,573 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimate). About 37% of occupied homes are rented, so landlords, tenants, and managers often share the call and the paperwork. Median year built: 1975. 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. Give you photos and a written record to hand your roofer and your insurer.

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.
