Emergency roof tarping in Pine Island Center, FL

Tarping after storms in Pine Island Center

A Pine Island Center 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.

Pine Island Center 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

• Do not climb on a wet or damaged roof yourself.
• Catch drips and move furniture and electronics out of the way.
• Call your insurer and write down the claim number.

What emergency tarping includes

1. Document the damage with photos before the tarp goes on.
2. Secure the tarp with battens and fasteners so it stays put in the next blow.
3. Board up any broken windows or doors at the same visit.
4. Dry the ceilings, walls, and floors that took water through the roof.
5. Leave you a record of what was covered and why.
