Emergency roof tarping in Venice, FL

Roof damage in Venice

Venice has barrel-tile roofs on Mediterranean Revival homes, shingle roofs on newer houses, and flat roofs on condos. Broken tile needs careful covering so the tarp does not crack more of it.

Venice is on the Gulf, with the Intracoastal running through town, so surge, wind, and heavy rain all matter. Milton in 2024 brought damaging wind and rain across southern Sarasota County, and tile roofs lost tiles that let water into attics.

Working with your insurer in Venice

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

• Put buckets under drips and move belongings away from leaks.
• If a ceiling is sagging with water, stay out from under it.
• Photograph the damage from the ground and inside.

Our tarping process

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. Secure the tarp with battens and fasteners so it stays put in the next blow.
4. Close broken openings with metal panels while we are there.
5. Give you photos and a written record to hand your roofer and your insurer.

Venice by the numbers

Roughly 24% of housing units are held for seasonal or recreational use; a manager or neighbor is often the one who calls for a tarp. Population: about 25,710 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimate). About 24% 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: 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.
