Emergency Roof Tarping

Why emergency tarping matters

When a roof is compromised, time is the enemy. Emergency tarping isn’t a throwaway quick fix — it’s a professional service that protects your home’s structure while you plan the real repair. Our crew comes out and secures a tarp using the method best suited to your roof type, even during inclement weather when conditions are safe to work.

The first goal is simply to stop the water. In South Florida’s humidity, even a small ongoing leak can lead to mold growth within 24 to 48 hours, ruined drywall and insulation, electrical hazards where water reaches wiring, and damage to your belongings.

A secured tarp also buys everyone time: time for the weather to clear so we can perform a thorough inspection, document the damage properly, and give you an honest estimate without the pressure of an active leak over your head.

Moving toward a permanent solution

Thorough assessment

With the leak stopped, we inspect the deck, flashing, and underlayment to find the root cause — so we’re fixing the actual problem, not just patching over it.

Repair vs. replacement

If the damage is localized — a fallen limb, a few missing tiles — a targeted repair is the goal. If the underlayment is at the end of its life, we lay out a clear path to a full replacement in high-wind-rated materials.

Premium silicone coatings

For flat or low-slope roofs with sound structure but surface wear or minor leaks, a premium silicone coating is a cost-effective middle ground — highly UV-reflective (which can lower AC bills) and able to handle the ponding water that defeats acrylic coatings.

Why Choose Hunter

Questions

How fast can you get out to tarp my roof?

We move as quickly as conditions allow across our South Florida service area. Active severe weather can delay safe roof access, but we prioritize emergencies and get a crew out as soon as it’s safe to work.

How long can a tarp stay on my roof?

A properly installed tarp is a temporary measure meant to protect your home for days to a few weeks while the permanent repair is arranged — not a long-term solution. The sooner the real repair happens, the better.

Do I need tarping if the leak seems small?

Often, yes. In our humid climate even a small ongoing leak can cause mold and interior damage within a couple of days. Stopping the water early is almost always cheaper than repairing what it ruins.

What happens after the tarp is on?

We use the time it buys to inspect the deck, flashing, and underlayment, then walk you through honest options — a localized repair, a silicone coating for a sound flat roof, or a full replacement if the roof is at the end of its life.
