Request a Free EstimateQuick Questions About Emergency Roof Tarping
Is roof tarping a permanent repair?
No. Tarping is temporary protection designed to reduce water entry until proper inspection and repair or replacement work can be planned.
Can emergency tarping help after hail or wind damage?
Yes. If hail or wind damage creates openings, leaks, or exposed roof areas, tarping can help limit additional water damage.
Should I climb on the roof to place a tarp myself?
No. Roofs can be steep, slick, damaged, or unsafe after storms. Emergency tarping should be handled safely with proper equipment.

Exterior Service Pros View Service AreasEmergency Roof Tarping Near You FAQs
What should I do while waiting for emergency tarping?
Move valuables away from leaks, use buckets if safe, document interior water, avoid electrical hazards, and do not climb on the roof.
Can tarping be documented for storm damage?
Yes. The damaged area, leak location, storm timing, and temporary protection should be documented before and after tarping when possible.
How long can a roof tarp stay on?
A tarp should only stay on as long as necessary before permanent repair or replacement. Weather, roof slope, and material condition affect how long it remains reliable.
Does tarping stop all water damage?
Tarping can reduce water entry but may not stop every leak, especially around complex roof areas, saturated materials, or hidden damage.
What should I do after hail or wind damage?
After severe weather, document visible damage, avoid unsafe roof access, and schedule an inspection for roofing, siding, gutters, and exterior components.
Can hail damage be hard to see from the ground?
Yes. Some hail damage is subtle, so an exterior inspection can help identify visible roof, gutter, siding, flashing, and soft metal damage.
Do you inspect siding and gutters after storms?
Yes. Storm inspections can include siding, gutters, downspouts, fascia, soffit, roof edges, and other exterior components.
Can you help explain storm repair options?
Yes. Total Roofing and Solar can explain visible damage, practical repair or replacement options, and possible next steps after a storm.
How quickly should storm damage be inspected?
Storm damage should be inspected soon after the weather clears, especially if you notice leaks, missing shingles, dents, loose siding, or damaged gutters.
Do you help with insurance-related roofing questions?
Total Roofing and Solar can help document visible conditions and explain exterior repair needs, but insurance coverage decisions are handled by your insurance provider.
