Emergency roof tarping in Pelican Marsh, FL

Why Pelican Marsh roofs need tarps

Fallen oaks and palms are a common reason for a tarp in Pelican Marsh. After the limb is off the roof, we cover the hole, secure the edges against wind, and extract water that came through.

Hurricane wind and summer thunderstorms reach every street in Pelican Marsh. We board up broken openings, tarp damaged roofs, extract water, and dry the structure. Roof repairs go to a licensed roofer.

Documentation for your insurer

Most policies expect you to prevent further damage after a loss, and an emergency tarp does exactly that. We document the tarp and the damage for your insurer. You keep the claim.

While you wait

• Stay off the roof. Wet and damaged roofs are dangerous.
• Catch drips and move furniture and electronics out of the way.
• Photograph the damage from the ground and inside.

Pelican Marsh: local context

About 18% 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. Roughly 41% of housing units are held for seasonal or recreational use; a manager or neighbor is often the one who calls for a tarp. Median year built: 1998. That matters because many roofs are newer, but wind still lifts shingles and cracks tile. The median age in Pelican Marsh is about 72 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey). We can send photos and paperwork to a family member or manager who helps with the claim.

Our tarping process

1. Document the damage with photos before the tarp goes on.
2. Cover the damaged area with a heavy tarp that extends past the damage.
3. Close broken openings with metal panels while we are there.
4. Dry the ceilings, walls, and floors that took water through the roof.
5. Leave you a record of what was covered and why.
