Roof tarping after storm damage in Sarasota Springs

Roof damage in Sarasota Springs

A Sarasota Springs 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.

Sarasota Springs 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.

From the roof to the rooms below

1. Document the damage with photos before the tarp goes on.
2. Lay a heavy-duty tarp well past the edges of the damaged section.
3. Fasten and weight the tarp so it holds in wind.
4. Extract water that came in and set drying equipment in the rooms below.
5. Leave you a record of what was covered and why.

Why Sarasota Springs's housing stock matters here

Population: about 12,500 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimate). Sarasota Springs is about 5 miles southeast of Sarasota. Median year built: 1976. 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.

Insurance and your claim

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.

Stay safe

• Keep everyone away from bulging or sagging ceilings.
• Photograph the damage from the ground and inside.
• Call your insurer and write down the claim number.
