Tarps and board-up
The first job is stopping more damage. A tarp or board-up is how.
After a storm, calls come in faster than one crew can go. We take them in the order they arrive and tell you honestly when we'll be there. We photograph the roof before and after, and give you the receipt.
What's included
A tarp or board-up on the same trip, where the damage allows

Questions about this work
Is the tarp covered by my insurance?
Many policies ask you to protect the house and count the cost as part of the claim. Check your policy and ask your insurer.
Do tarps cost more at night?
Our hours are on the contact page. After a storm the tarp line stays open into the evening, and we don't work roofs after dark.
Can you tarp before I call my insurer?
Yes. Stop the water first, then call. Keep the photos and the receipt.
