How fast can you tarp my roof?

Same day during business hours for active interior leaks. After widespread regional storms, most active-leak calls are tarped within 24 hours.

Will insurance cover the tarp cost?

Yes — emergency mitigation is a covered expense under virtually every Indiana homeowner policy. We provide an itemized receipt.

How long can the tarp stay in place?

Pro-grade installs hold for 30–60+ days when needed. Tarps come off the morning of permanent repair.

What does a tarp cost?

Most residential tarps run $400–$900 depending on access, pitch, and size — typically reimbursed by insurance as covered mitigation.

About Emergency Roof Tarping

Professional tarping that actually holds — pro-grade shrink-wrap and ballasted edges, not blue plastic and bricks. Photographed and documented for your insurance claim.

After every regional storm we see blue tarps weighted with bricks on roofs across the city. They blow off in the next windstorm, and the secondary damage from a failed tarp often exceeds the original loss. Our emergency tarping is engineered to hold through follow-on weather: shrink-wrap fastened to sound deck with sealed fastener points, or ballasted tarp with sandbag-weighted perimeters.

Every tarp install is photographed before, during, and after. The photo log goes into your insurance file along with an itemized receipt that's formatted for emergency-mitigation reimbursement — covered under nearly every Indiana homeowner policy.

Once the claim is approved or you're ready to proceed with permanent repair, the same crew comes back. Tarps stay in place until the morning of the build, so there's no gap between emergency mitigation and permanent restoration.
