Emergency tarp service in Siesta Key, FL

Why Siesta Key roofs need tarps

Gulf-facing roofs in Siesta Key catch the full force of tropical wind. Tile and membrane roofs both need a secure temporary cover after storm damage.

As a low or barrier location, Siesta Key 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.

How we tarp a Siesta Key roof

1. Cover the damaged area with a heavy tarp that extends past the damage.
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.

While you wait

• Do not climb on a wet or damaged roof yourself.
• Catch drips and move furniture and electronics out of the way.
• Photograph the damage from the ground and inside.

Working with your insurer in Siesta Key

We document the roof damage before and after the tarp goes on, and any water damage inside. Coverage depends on your policy. We are not a public adjuster.

Siesta Key by the numbers

About 51% 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. 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. Roughly 43% of housing units are held for seasonal or recreational use; a manager or neighbor is often the one who calls for a tarp. The median age in Siesta Key is about 67 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey). We can send photos and paperwork to a family member or manager who helps with the claim.
