Roof tarping after storm damage in St. Pete Beach

Roof openings we tarp in St. Pete Beach

Fallen oaks and palms are a common reason for a tarp in St. Pete Beach. After the limb is off the roof, we cover the hole, secure the edges against wind, and extract water that came through.

Hurricane wind and summer thunderstorms reach every street in St. Pete Beach. We board up broken openings, tarp damaged roofs, extract water, and dry the structure. Roof repairs go to a licensed roofer.

Why St. Pete Beach's housing stock matters here

Roughly 32% of housing units are held for seasonal or recreational use; a manager or neighbor is often the one who calls for a tarp. About 46% 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. The median home in St. Pete Beach was built around 1972 (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 7 miles southwest of St. Petersburg in Pinellas County.

How we tarp a St. Pete Beach roof

1. Document the damage with photos before the tarp goes on.
2. Cover the damaged area with a heavy tarp that extends past the damage.
3. Secure the tarp with battens and fasteners so it stays put in the next blow.
4. Board up any broken windows or doors at the same visit.
5. Leave you a record of what was covered and why.

Stay safe

• Do not climb on a wet or damaged roof yourself.
• Keep everyone away from bulging or sagging ceilings.
• Photograph the damage from the ground and inside.

Insurance and your claim

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.
