Emergency Tarp & Storm Response
Fast tarping to stop water damage — before it becomes a bigger problem.
Fast tarping to stop water damage — before it becomes a bigger problem.
A roof leak during a storm gets worse by the hour. Our emergency tarping protects your home from further water damage while your full repair or replacement is scheduled.
A tarp is a bridge, not a fix. Its job is to keep water out of your ceilings, insulation, and belongings for the short time between the storm and a proper roof repair. We install it so it holds, photograph the damage underneath, and then help you plan the permanent solution without rushing you into it.
Homes with water actively coming in move to the front of the line, across Houston, Spring, and nearby suburbs.
Stopping the water early protects drywall, insulation, flooring, and the things you care about inside.
Sized past the damage and fastened with wood strips, so it survives the wind that usually follows a storm.
The damage underneath and the finished tarp, dated, for your records and any conversation with your insurer.
A full inspection afterward and an honest repair-or-replace recommendation, on your schedule.
Clear answers in the language your household prefers, from the same family-owned team that will do the repair.
A tarp that simply gets weighed down with a few bricks will flap loose in the next gust, and water finds the gap. We start by locating the damaged area, which is not always right above the leak inside. The tarp is sized to extend well past the damage, ideally carried over the ridge so water sheds over it instead of running underneath, and it is secured with wood strips fastened along the edges so wind cannot get under it. Loose debris and broken branches are cleared first so nothing punctures the tarp from below.
Before the tarp covers anything, we photograph the damage. Once it is on, you get photos of the finished installation too, so you have a clear record of what was protected and when.

Schedule the permanent repair or replacement.
Treat a tarp as a matter of weeks, not seasons. Houston sun breaks down tarp material, fasteners loosen with every windy day, and the damaged shingles and decking underneath keep deteriorating even while they stay dry. The sooner the permanent work happens, the less it tends to cost. After the tarp is on, we schedule a full free inspection of the roof and walk you through whether a targeted repair will do or whether a roof replacement makes more sense.
Our online estimator shows a preliminary range of $350 to $950 for emergency tarping. Where your job lands depends on the size of the damaged area, how steep and high the roof is, and how much debris has to be cleared before the tarp can go on. We confirm the price before we start. The pricing guide explains what the permanent repair or replacement typically costs afterward, and financing is available for larger work.
Many homeowners policies expect you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage after a storm, so read yours or ask your agent. Keep the invoice and photos from the tarp work with your other storm records. If you decide to file a claim, your insurer decides what the policy covers; we provide the documentation, not the decision.
Call us immediately — emergency tarping is prioritized. The sooner we tarp, the less interior damage you'll have.
Our online estimator shows a preliminary range of $350 to $950, depending on the size of the damaged area, the pitch and height of the roof, and how much debris has to be cleared first. We confirm the price before any work starts.
It depends on your policy. Many policies expect homeowners to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage, and your insurer decides what is covered. We document the tarp work and give you a receipt for your records.
Move valuables away from the leak and place a container to catch water if it's safe to do so.
