How it goes
Stop the opening, then handle the water
One more night of rain through an open roof reaches ceilings, insulation and floors that were still dry. The tarp is not the repair. It is what keeps the repair small.
Reinforced tarp sized to the opening and fastened to hold through the next system, not until the wind picks up.
Water that came through the ceiling is in the insulation and the drywall. Same extraction and drying as any water job.
Photos of the opening, the tarp, and every affected room, with moisture readings from the first day to the last.
Hail can damage a roof that looks fine from the yard.
Roof, plumbing and HVAC. Nothing to sign.
Texas has no statewide roofing contractor license. Florida and Illinois license roofing contractors at the state level. We only tarp the opening and dry the structure, and the permanent roof repair is a separate trade, with city permit rules on top.
We stop the water and dry the structure. Permanent roof work is a separate trade and a separate conversation.
Bruised shingles can look fine from the yard and still be failing. That is what the free inspection is for.
If anything moved or got cleared before we arrived, tell us. It matters for the file.
Common questions
What people ask about storm damage
Can you tarp tonight?
We call you back in under 10 minutes and tell you straight away whether a crew can reach you before the next rain. Daylight and wind decide what is safe to do on a roof.
How long does a tarp hold?
A properly fastened tarp holds for weeks, not days. It buys you the time to deal with the permanent repair without the inside getting worse.
Do you do the permanent roof repair?
No. We stop the water and dry the structure. Permanent roofing is a separate trade and we will tell you so rather than stretch into it.
What records do you hand me?
Ask your insurer, because every policy asks for different things. What we hand you: dated photos of the damage, of the emergency work and of every affected room, with moisture readings. We do not file, negotiate or adjust claims.
An open roof gets worse every night.
Tarping takes hours. Replacing a soaked ceiling takes weeks. Call now, or send the details and we call you.
