Ridgecrest roofs and wind
When wind or a limb opens a roof in Ridgecrest, a tarp is temporary protection until a licensed roofer repairs it. We cover past the edges of the damage and fasten it to hold in wind.
Ridgecrest 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.
Ridgecrest by the numbers
Population: about 3,020 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimate). Median year built: 1978. 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. Ridgecrest is about 13 miles northwest of St. Petersburg.
Stay safe
- Stay off the roof. Wet and damaged roofs are dangerous.
- Take photos from the yard and of every leak inside.
- Call your insurer and write down the claim number.
