Emergency Roof Tarping
Roof opened up by a storm, a fallen limb or hail? A crew is dispatched to get a secured tarp over the breach before the next band of rain arrives.

Roof Tarping Services — 24/7 Emergency Service
When a storm opens up your roof, the damage stops growing the moment the water stops getting in. We install secured emergency tarps across Texas, day or night, so a bad night does not turn into a rebuild.
- Dispatch answered 24/7, including holidays
- On site within hours of your call
- Photographed and documented for your claim
- Price agreed before work starts
Our Simple Process
What happens when you call
Step 1
Call us anytime
Tell us what happened, roughly how big the damage is, whether anything is still on the roof, and whether water is coming into living space right now. That decides what we bring and how fast we move.
Step 2
We assess the damage
On arrival we check the structure is safe to work on, find the full extent of the breach — usually larger than the visible hole — and photograph everything before anything is covered.
Step 3
We install the tarp
Sized well past the damage, anchored by the method your roof covering needs, every edge sealed or weighted. Nothing left flapping, because that is how covers fail.
Step 4
You get the documentation
Dated photographs before, during and after, plus an itemised invoice. That is what your insurer needs to see as evidence of both the damage and the mitigation.
Our Roof Tarping Services
Tarping, specified for the situation
An overnight emergency cover and a tarp that has to survive a four-month insurance process are different jobs. We will tell you which one you need.

Roof Tarp Installation
How a tarp is anchored decides whether it survives the next storm. Board-wrapped, ballasted or mechanically fixed, chosen for your roof covering.
Installation detail →03
Long-Term Roof Tarping
When a repair is months away, a standard emergency tarp will not survive the wait. Heavier material, UV-stable, re-tensioned and inspected.
Long-term options →04
Residential Roof Tarping
Pitched shingle, tile and metal roofs on occupied homes — covered without breaking tile, marking siding or damaging landscaping.
Residential service →05
Commercial Roof Tarping
Flat and low-slope membrane roofs, ballasted rather than penetrated, with drains kept clear and work scheduled around your trading hours.
Commercial service →06
Storm Damage Tarping
After a named storm or a straight-line wind event, crews are moved toward the metro that actually got hit rather than waiting on a local backlog.
Storm response →07
Hail Damage Tarping
Hail damage often is not visible from the ground. Where impact has fractured the mat or holed the decking, the roof needs covering before the next front.
Hail tarping →08
24/7 Roof Tarping
Roofs fail at night and at weekends. Dispatch runs around the clock, including holidays, because waiting until Monday is how a contained loss spreads.
Round-the-clock →Why Roof Tarp
We do one thing, and we do it around the clock
24/7 availability
Roofs fail at night and at weekends. Dispatch is staffed 24 hours, including holidays, because waiting until Monday is how a contained loss spreads.
Tarping specialists
For a general roofer a tarp is an unbilled inconvenience. For us it is the job — right material, right sizes, right anchoring for your roof covering.
Statewide capacity
Texas storm seasons are staggered, so crews move toward whichever metro was actually hit — which matters when every local roofer is booked out.
Transparent pricing
You get a figure before work starts, not an invoice afterwards.
Claim-ready documentation
Photographs before, during and after, plus an itemised invoice. Adjusters move fastest on files with clear dated evidence.
Straight answers
If what you are describing does not need a tarp tonight, we will say so rather than dispatch a crew you do not need.

Read the guide →Frequently asked questions
How fast can you get a roof tarp installed?
We dispatch 24 hours a day and aim to be on site within hours of your call. Timing depends on distance, how many calls a storm has generated in that metro, and whether conditions are safe to work in.
Do you work at night and on weekends?
Yes. Dispatch runs around the clock including holidays. Most roofs fail outside business hours, which is exactly when it matters most.
Does insurance cover emergency roof tarping?
Usually. Most homeowner policies also require you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage after a covered loss, which is what tarping does. Keep the invoice and the photographs.
How long will a roof tarp last?
A standard tarp properly anchored lasts days to a few weeks. Heavy-duty UV-stabilised material installed for the long term runs several months to around a year in Texas sun.
Do you have to put holes in my roof?
Not always. On tile, slate and metal we use ballasted, no-penetration anchoring as standard. On asphalt shingle, board-wrapped fastening is usually most secure, and the holes are dealt with at repair.
What areas of Texas do you cover?
We work statewide, with detailed coverage across Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, El Paso, Lubbock, Corpus Christi and a dozen more metros. If your town is not listed, call anyway.

Dispatch is answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week, across Texas.
