Is this what you’re seeing?

• Storm damage that’s exposed part of your roof deck
• A tree limb or debris that’s punctured or torn roofing material
• Missing shingles or roofing after high wind
• Fire damage that’s opened up the roof structure
• Active water intrusion during or right after a storm
• An insurance adjuster asking whether emergency mitigation has been done

Honest pricing

Emergency tarping is priced based on the size of the area needing coverage and how accessible and steep the roof is. This is emergency mitigation work meant to stop further damage, not a permanent repair, so the tarp itself is priced separately from the eventual roof repair or replacement. Our team explains the tarping price before starting and follows up with a full roof assessment and repair estimate once the immediate emergency is addressed.

What’s included / what’s not included

Typically included:
– Emergency response and on-site assessment of the damaged area
– Temporary tarp installation secured against wind and further water intrusion
– Documentation and photos useful for your insurance claim
– A follow-up recommendation for permanent repair or replacement

Typically not included unless added to scope:
– Permanent roof repair or replacement (see our roof repair and roof replacement pages)
– Interior water damage cleanup and restoration (available as a separate service)
– Tree or debris removal, if a fallen tree caused the damage
– Structural repair beneath the tarped area

Honest response time expectations

Emergency response times vary by location, technician availability, weather, traffic, and job conditions. We do not promise immediate arrival, but we do prioritize active water intrusion and unsafe conditions ahead of less urgent calls, and we tell you a real window when you call rather than a vague promise.

Why Central Ohio roofs need fast emergency response

Central Ohio’s severe summer storms bring high wind and hail that can strip shingles or puncture roofing material with little warning, and the same storms often bring heavy rain right behind the wind, which is why speed matters so much for tarping. Mature tree canopy across many Columbus neighborhoods also means fallen limbs are a recurring cause of roof damage after storms. Getting a tarp on fast, correctly secured against wind, is often the difference between a contained repair and a much larger interior restoration project.
