What emergency tarping is

A roof tarp is temporary protection. It keeps rain out of the attic, ceilings, and rooms below until a licensed roofer can make permanent repairs. We do not repair roofs; we stop the water and dry the inside.

We tarp after hurricanes and summer storms, after a tree or limb goes through the roof, and after fires that burned through the roof deck.

How we tarp a roof

  • Photograph the damage before it is covered
  • Lay a heavy tarp well past the edges of the damage
  • Fasten it with battens so it holds in wind
  • Board up broken windows and doors at the same visit
  • Extract water that came in and dry the ceilings, walls, and floors below
  • Give you photos and a written record for your roofer and your insurer

Insurance

Most policies expect you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage after a loss, and a tarp is one of them. Coverage depends on your policy. We document the tarp and the damage. You keep the claim; we are not a public adjuster.

Common questions

Emergency roof tarping questions

Who does emergency roof tarping in Southwest Florida?

Aftermath Restoration Group provides emergency roof tarping 24/7 in Lee, Collier, Charlotte, Sarasota, Manatee, and Pinellas counties and Boca Raton. Call (239) 688-2880 and we give you an arrival time when you call.

Do you repair roofs?

No. We tarp the roof to stop water getting in and dry the water that already came inside. Permanent repairs go to a licensed roofer.

Can you tarp during a storm?

No one should be on a roof in high wind or lightning. We tarp as soon as it is safe, and we can start on the water inside before then.

How long does a tarp last?

A tarp is meant to hold until the roof is repaired. We fasten it to hold through wind and rain, and if it shifts, call us.

Do you tarp commercial buildings?

Yes. We tarp and board up commercial buildings and dry any water that came inside.
