When is Tarping a Roof Needed?

After a Storm: Storms can cause significant damage to roofs. Tarping helps prevent further damage until repairs can be made.

After Fire Damage: If your roof was damaged by a fire, roof tarping can protect your property until repairs can be made.

During Construction Delays: Unforeseen delays might leave parts of the roof unfinished during construction projects. Tarps can be installed during construction to prevent the building from getting damaged.

Preventive Measures: Roof tarping can be used as a preventive measure if a storm is forecasted and the roof is already compromised.

Insurance Compliance: If your roof is damaged your insurance company may require you to get it tarped in order to prevent further damage. Failing to do this could make getting your claim approved less likely.

Roof Tarping Cost

Most roofs cost around $1,200 to tarp but the cost of roof tarping services can vary significantly based on several factors.

Below are the key factors that influence costs:

1. Size of the Damaged Area

The size of the area that needs to be covered is the primary factor affecting cost. Larger areas require more material and labor, increasing the overall price.

2. Type and Quality of Tarp Used

Tarps come in various materials, some are more durable and weather-resistant than others. Higher quality tarps will be more expensive.

3. Complexity of the Roof
Complex roof designs with multiple levels, steep pitches, or hard-to-reach areas require more time and labor to tarp.

4. Accessibility

Easily accessible roofs are cheaper to tarp than those that are difficult to access.

5. Urgency and Timing

We charge more for emergency services as opposed to services that are scheduled at least a couple of days in advance.

6. Additional Services
Debris Removal and Roof Repair: If the service includes additional tasks like debris removal or minor repairs, this will be reflected in the cost.

Insurance Coverage

Homeowners’ insurance policies will usually cover the cost of roof tarping, especially if it’s part of a storm or fire damage claim. That being said, your coverage may vary depending on your policy, so it’s important to check with your insurance provider for coverage details.
