Common questions
Emergency roof tarping questions in The Meadows
What roof damage do you tarp in The Meadows?
Fallen oaks and palms are a common reason for a tarp in The Meadows. After the limb is off the roof, we cover the hole, secure the edges against wind, and extract water that came through. We cover the damaged area, fasten the tarp to hold in wind, and dry any water that came inside. Call (239) 688-2880, 24/7.
Does insurance pay for emergency tarping?
Many policies treat emergency tarping as reasonable work to prevent further damage, but coverage depends on your policy. We document the work for your insurer.
Can you tarp a roof during a storm?
No one should be on a roof in high wind or lightning. We tarp as soon as conditions are safe, and in the meantime we can help with water inside.
How long can a roof tarp stay on?
A tarp is temporary. It is meant to keep water out until a licensed roofer can repair the roof. After a big storm that can take a while, so we fasten it to hold through wind and rain.
