Emergency Roof TarpingMiami & South Florida
Storm damage, hurricane impact, fallen tree, active leak — when your roof fails, every hour of water intrusion makes the damage worse. T&S Roofing dispatches emergency crews across Miami-Dade and Broward to stop the bleeding before it reaches your drywall, floors, and contents. Call us as soon as the damage happens and we'll respond as quickly as conditions allow.
When to Call for Emergency Tarping
If you see any of the following, call us immediately. Every hour matters.
Active interior water leak
Water is dripping or running into your living space, attic, or insulation.
Fallen tree or branch on roof
Impact damage has compromised the roof deck or punctured the membrane.
Hurricane or tropical storm damage
Missing tiles, lifted shingles, or exposed underlayment after a named storm.
Visible exposed decking
You can see plywood or sheathing where roofing material used to be.
Wind-lifted shingles or tile
Sections of roofing have peeled back or blown away in heavy wind.
Major debris impact
Flying debris, hail, or projectiles have punctured the roof surface.
Our Emergency Tarping Process
You Call, We Dispatch
Call our emergency line. We log your address, damage type, and urgency, and dispatch the closest crew with the right materials as soon as conditions allow.
Safe Assessment On Arrival
Our crew assesses the damage, ensures it is safe to access the roof, and explains what we will tarp and the temporary repair approach.
Heavy-Duty Tarp Installation
We install commercial-grade tarp secured with proper fastening — not the thin blue tarp from a hardware store. Built to hold through subsequent storms.
Photo Documentation
We document the damage and tarping with timestamped photos so you have everything you need for your insurance claim.
Permanent Repair Planning
We schedule the inspection and estimate for permanent repair or replacement, and coordinate with your insurance adjuster if needed.
Why Fast Tarping Matters
Stops Water Damage Cascade
Water intrusion ruins drywall, insulation, flooring, and contents within hours. Tarping stops the leak so the rest of your home is not collateral damage.
Required by Insurance
Most policies require homeowners to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage. Failing to mitigate can give insurers grounds to deny part of your claim.
Buys Time for Permanent Repair
After a hurricane, materials and permits get backed up. A quality tarp keeps you protected while we line up the permanent repair on a realistic timeline.
Emergency Tarping FAQ
How fast can you tarp my roof?
During normal conditions we typically respond within 2 to 4 hours of your call. After major storms or hurricanes when demand spikes, response times can stretch — but we prioritize calls based on severity (active leaks, exposed interior, structural damage). Call us now and we will give you an honest ETA for your situation.
How much does emergency roof tarping cost?
Emergency tarping pricing depends on roof size, accessibility, and tarp type required. We provide upfront pricing before any work begins. If your damage is from a covered insurance event, the tarping cost is typically reimbursable as part of your claim — we provide documentation to support your claim filing.
Will my insurance cover emergency tarping?
Most homeowners insurance policies cover emergency mitigation including roof tarping when the damage is from a covered peril (hurricane, fallen tree, fire, etc.). In fact, your policy typically requires you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage — which is exactly what tarping does. We provide detailed documentation and photos to support your claim.
How long can I leave a tarp on my roof?
A properly installed tarp is a temporary solution — usually 30 to 90 days depending on tarp quality and weather exposure. After major storms, permits and material backlogs can stretch repairs longer, and we use heavier-duty tarps and additional securement for longer-term coverage. We also help you move from emergency tarping into the permanent repair or replacement phase.
Do you tarp roofs during hurricanes or tropical storms?
No. During active named storms or sustained dangerous winds, it is unsafe to put crews on roofs. We respond as soon as conditions permit — typically once winds drop below 30 mph and lightning is no longer present. If you call during an active storm, we log your address and respond first when it is safe to deploy.
