Safety Harbor roofs and wind

Hurricane wind and summer thunderstorms reach every street in Safety Harbor. We board up broken openings, tarp damaged roofs, extract water, and dry the structure. Roof repairs go to a licensed roofer.
Why Safety Harbor's housing stock matters here
About 9% of housing units in Safety Harbor are mobile or manufactured homes, where metal and membrane roofs on manufactured homes need careful tarping so fasteners do not add new leaks. Population: about 17,087 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimate). Safety Harbor is about 17 miles north of St. Petersburg. 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.
Our tarping process
- Document the damage with photos before the tarp goes on.
- Lay a heavy-duty tarp well past the edges of the damaged section.
- Secure the tarp with battens and fasteners so it stays put in the next blow.
- Close broken openings with metal panels while we are there.
- Dry the ceilings, walls, and floors that took water through the roof.
Documentation for your insurer
Tarping is temporary protection, not a roof repair. Your roofer handles the permanent fix; we give you and your insurer the photos and scope for the emergency work.
