We work in Texas, Florida and Illinois, 24 hours a day, and document the whole job with photos and moisture readings. - **IICRC Certified Firm #1126849** The recognised standard for restoration work in the US. - **Call back in under 10 minutes** Day or night, weekends and holidays included. - **Every room photographed** Photos and moisture readings from the first day to the last. The file is yours. 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. **$0** **to come out and look at the damage** **Tarp the opening** Reinforced tarp sized to the opening and fastened to hold through the next system, not until the wind picks up. **Dry the inside** Water that came through the ceiling is in the insulation and the drywall. Same extraction and drying as any water job. **Document everything** Photos of the opening, the tarp, and every affected room, with moisture readings from the first day to the last. **$0** **We find the damage nobody sees** Hail can damage a roof that looks fine from the yard.

Nothing to sign. ![Roof shingles lifted and displaced by wind](https://www.365restorationus.com/assets/img/tejas-levantadas.jpg) *Wind-lifted shingles* ![Blue emergency tarp secured over a damaged roof](https://www.365restorationus.com/assets/img/carpa-instalada.jpg) *Emergency tarp · 20 × 30 ft* **Roofing licenses depend on the state** 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. **Tarping is not roof replacement** We stop the water and dry the structure. Permanent roof work is a separate trade and a separate conversation. **Hail damage is not always visible from the ground** Bruised shingles can look fine from the yard and still be failing. That is what the free inspection is for. **Photograph before you clean up** 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.
