Why Palmetto roofs need tarps
Summer squalls and tropical systems both tear at roofs in Palmetto. Once it is safe to climb, we cover the opening, board up any broken glass, and start drying ceilings and insulation below.
Storm calls in Palmetto mix wind-driven rain through windows and roofs with high water from canals, bays, or rivers. Board-up comes first, then extraction and structural drying.
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.
What the Census says about Palmetto housing
About 35% of occupied homes are rented, so landlords, tenants, and managers often share the call and the paperwork. Population: about 13,384 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimate). Median year built: 1984. 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. Palmetto is about 2 miles north of Bradenton.
What emergency tarping includes
- Photograph the roof damage before it is covered, for your insurer.
- Cover the damaged area with a heavy tarp that extends past the damage.
- Fasten and weight the tarp so it holds in wind.
- Dry the ceilings, walls, and floors that took water through the roof.
- Give you photos and a written record to hand your roofer and your insurer.
Before the tarp goes on
- If a ceiling is sagging with water, stay out from under it.
- Take photos from the yard and of every leak inside.
- Call your insurer and write down the claim number.

Common questions
Emergency roof tarping questions in Palmetto
What roof damage do you tarp in Palmetto?

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.
Who does emergency roof tarping in Palmetto?
Aftermath Restoration Group provides emergency roof tarping in Palmetto and across Manatee County, 24/7. Call (239) 688-2880 and we give you an arrival time when you call.
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.
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.
