How we tarp a damaged roof
Four steps to a tarp that holds
-
01
Assess and document
We mark every opening and photograph it before anything is covered.
-
02
Oversize the tarp
The heavy-duty tarp runs well past the damage and over the ridge or parapet, so water sheds off the top.
-
03
Batten the edges
Wood battens are rolled into the tarp and screwed down. Wind has nothing loose to grab.
-
04
Check inside
Then we trace water intrusion on the top floor or in the attic and flag wet ceilings.
Tarped to fit your roof
Fastened to suit flat, tile and shingle roofs
We match each roof tarp installation to the surface, since careless nailing is how a tarp damages a roof. Cracked tiles are saved for repairing broken tiles later.
| Roof type | Secured with | Roof protection | Typical buildings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flat and low-slope | Sandbag weights, edges fastened at the parapet | Nothing driven through the membrane | Apartment buildings, co-ops, condominiums, mixed-use, retail, warehouses |
| Tile | Battens over the tiles, wrapped over the ridge | No nails through tile | Single-family and small multi-family |
| Shingle and pitched | Battens screwed along the edges | Fasteners only in shingles slated for replacement | Single-family homes |
While the tarp is on, and after
Keeping the tarp tight until the roof is fixed
Polyethylene tarps degrade in sunlight and loosen with every storm. After heavy wind or rain we return to re-tension battens, reset loose weights and clear ponding water before its weight drags the tarp down.
The permanent repair is scheduled from the same assessment and photos: leak repair, the lasting fix for a torn flat-roof membrane, or full wind and storm repair. The tarp comes down the day the new work goes in.

Roof tarp installation questions
What callers ask before the crew arrives
Do you tarp at night or in the rain?
Yes in rain, when wind allows safe footing. After dark we secure what we can reach and finish at first light.
Does insurance cover the tarp?
Often, because policies expect the owner to prevent further damage. We hand over the photos and tarp invoice that back a storm claim.
Can I tarp the roof myself?
Not on a wet pitched roof or above one story. Loose tarps tear free, and misplaced nails open new leaks.
How long can a tarp stay up?
Weeks, not months. UV and wind wear the material, so the permanent repair should follow quickly.
