Common Questions

Emergency Tarping FAQ

How fast can you get a tarp on my roof?

We return calls same day, guaranteed, and prioritize active leaks and storm damage.

Is emergency tarping covered by insurance?

Many homeowners policies cover emergency mitigation as part of a storm damage claim. Check with your insurance agent to confirm.

How long can a tarp stay on my roof?

It's a temporary measure meant to hold until permanent repairs can be scheduled, not a long-term solution.

Do you tarp roofs outside your normal service area?

We prioritize our regular service area across Cedar Rapids and Eastern Iowa. Call and we'll let you know if we can help.

What should I do while waiting for a tarp?

If it's safe, move valuables away from the leak and place a container to catch water. Don't go on the roof yourself, especially after a storm.

Does tarping count toward my insurance claim documentation?

Yes. We photograph the damage before tarping, which becomes part of the documentation you can use for your claim.
