Is tarping a permanent repair?

No. Tarping is temporary protection. The roof still needs diagnosis and a permanent repair once weather and access are safe.

Can you tarp during a storm?

Only when it is safe. High wind, lightning, ice, or steep wet roof surfaces can make roof access unsafe.

Will you document storm damage?

Yes. We photograph visible damage and write a repair scope. You handle the claim; we provide useful documentation.

What happens after the tarp is installed?

We inspect the roof, explain the permanent repair options, and schedule the work when conditions and materials allow.
