What Emergency Service Looks Like

Call with photos if you can take them safely — never climb a damaged roof. We secure the opening with proper tarping and fastening that survives the next front, document everything with dated photos for your insurance file, and schedule the permanent repair. Rental cabin with guests inbound? Say so; a clean tarp on the back slope saves bookings that water in the loft cancels.

The Insurance File

Every emergency call produces documentation your adjuster can use: what failed, what we did to mitigate, dated photos throughout. Mitigation is generally your responsibility under most policies — tarping fast protects both the house and the claim. We document honestly and never inflate damage; that reputation is worth more to us than any single invoice.

After the Tarp

A tarp is a pause button, not a repair. We quote the permanent fix with the same photos, and you choose the timeline. Storm season tip: our free storm checks after weather events catch the small breaches before they need the blue tarp at all.

Common Questions

How fast can you get a tarp on?

For active leaks in our core counties, same-day is the norm and hours is common — weather and daylight permitting. Call first thing; tarp calls stack up fast after a storm and we work them in order with rental-turnover emergencies prioritized.

Is emergency tarping covered by insurance?

Mitigation costs are commonly covered under standard policies, but your policy is the authority. Keep our invoice and photos with your claim; we’ll document in the format adjusters expect.
