When you need an emergency tarp
- A tree or large limb hit the roof and punctured or cracked the decking
- Wind tore off shingles and left bare decking or underlayment exposed
- Water is coming in and the permanent repair can’t happen right away
- You’re waiting on insurance and need the roof protected in the meantime
A tarp isn’t a repair. It’s a temporary barrier that stops more water from getting in until your roof can be fixed properly.

Emergency tarping FAQs
How long can a tarp stay on my roof?
A tarp is meant to be temporary. Sun and wind wear tarps down, so the sooner the permanent repair happens, the better.
Will my insurance pay for emergency tarping?
Many homeowner policies cover reasonable steps to prevent further damage, which often includes tarping. Check your policy, and keep the receipt and photos. We provide both.
Should I put a tarp on myself?
We don’t recommend climbing on a wet or damaged roof. If you can do it safely from the ground or inside, move belongings away from the leak and catch water with buckets until we arrive.
Do you tarp at night or in bad weather?
Call us any time. If conditions aren’t safe to work on the roof, we’ll tell you and get there as soon as they are.

I highly recommend ERS. Jabari and his crew were professional and were attentive to our needs. I am especially grateful because this was our first roof replacement, and he guided us through the - at times - arduous process. His colleague John was very courteous and reassuring on the build date. Go with ERS!

I hired Emergency Roofing Solutions after learning my roof, which had been updated before I bought the house, was missing proper ventilation. I had been noticing issues early on, especially in the summer, condensation around my HVAC unit, poor airflow, and my system working much harder than it should to keep the house cool. Cas…
