Emergency Roof Tarping

When a tree branch crashes through your roof or a storm rips shingles away, water inside is an emergency. Waiting for the contractor will cost you in drywall, insulation, and mold remediation—often $10,000 or more. Emergency tarping buys you time. We secure a heavy-duty tarp over the damaged section with reinforced fasteners so rain and wind can't penetrate. This temporary measure protects your home while we assess the full damage and schedule a proper repair or replacement.

Call us immediately after a damaging event—we answer 24/7. We'll dispatch a crew within hours for most Chicago metro calls. Tarping typically takes 1–2 hours. We photograph the damage for your insurance claim, then schedule the permanent fix. Emergency tarping is almost always covered by homeowners insurance under emergency/temporary repair provisions, so the cost is usually minimal out-of-pocket.
