Why It Matters
3 REASONS TO TARP YOUR ROOF TONIGHT
Stop Water Damage Now
Every hour a hole in your roof goes uncovered, water is getting in. Water damage to your ceilings, walls, insulation, and floors can cost far more than the roof repair itself. A tarp stops the damage immediately.
Protect Your Insurance Claim
Your insurance policy requires you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage after a storm. A professional tarp installation documents that you acted quickly and protects your claim.
Buy Time for a Proper Repair
Emergency tarping gives you time to plan your repair or replacement properly. You do not have to rush into a decision. Your home is protected while you choose the right path forward.

WHAT TO DO RIGHT NOW
Call us immediately
Do not wait until morning. Do not wait to see if the rain stops. Call us now. We answer emergency calls 24 hours a day.
Move valuables away from the damaged area
If water is coming in, move furniture, electronics, and important documents away from the affected area. Put buckets down to catch dripping water.
Do not go on the roof yourself
A wet roof is extremely dangerous. Do not attempt to tarp it yourself. We have the equipment and training to do it safely.
Document the damage with photos
If it is safe to do so, take photos of the damage from inside and outside before we arrive. This helps with your insurance claim.
Do not call your insurance company yet
Wait until we have documented everything. We will help you file your claim with complete documentation so nothing gets missed.
DOES INSURANCE COVER EMERGENCY TARPING?
Yes. Emergency tarping is considered a mitigation service, which means it is typically covered under your homeowner's insurance policy as part of your storm damage claim. The cost of the tarp is usually rolled into your overall claim.
We document the tarping work with photos and a written report that becomes part of your insurance file. This protects you from any claim that you failed to mitigate further damage after the storm.
In most cases, you pay only your deductible for the entire job, including the emergency tarp and the permanent repair or replacement.
EMERGENCY TARPING QUESTIONS
How fast can you get here?
For true emergencies, we aim to arrive within 2 to 4 hours. In most cases we can get to you the same day. We serve all of Western Massachusetts and Northern Connecticut and have crews stationed throughout the region.
How long will a tarp last?
A professionally installed heavy-duty tarp will protect your home for 30 to 90 days, which is typically enough time to process your insurance claim and schedule the permanent repair. We use commercial-grade tarps, not the lightweight tarps sold at hardware stores.
What if the damage is small? Is tarping still necessary?
Yes. Even a small opening in your roof can allow significant water intrusion during a rainstorm. A single rainstorm through an untarped hole can cause thousands of dollars in interior damage. Tarping is always worth it.
Will the tarp damage my roof further?
No. We use proper attachment methods that do not damage your shingles or create additional penetrations. The tarp is secured to protect your home without causing additional harm.
DO NOT WAIT. EVERY HOUR MATTERS.
