Emergency roof tarping in Redington Shores, FL

Roof damage in Redington Shores

A Redington Shores 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.

As a low or barrier location, Redington Shores takes both surge and wind. After a storm we secure openings with metal panels, extract water that came in, and dry walls and floors before mold starts.

Why Redington Shores's housing stock matters here

The median home in Redington Shores was built around 1976 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey); roofs on homes of that age have often been replaced or patched at least once, and older decking can be weaker under a tarp. Location: roughly 13 miles west of St. Petersburg in Pinellas County. Redington Shores's median age is roughly 63. If a relative or property manager is handling things for you, we send them the same documentation. About 50% 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.

Before the tarp goes on

• Do not climb on a wet or damaged roof yourself.
• Photograph the damage from the ground and inside.
• Call your insurer and write down the claim number.

Claims paperwork

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.

Our tarping process

1. Lay a heavy-duty tarp well past the edges of the damaged section.
2. Fasten and weight the tarp so it holds in wind.
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. Give you photos and a written record to hand your roofer and your insurer.
