Most homeowners insurance policies cover emergency roof tarping following covered events like storms or fallen trees. Insurance companies classify this as "mitigation" because it prevents additional damage to your home's structure and interior. Keep all receipts and document the condition of the roof with photos. If possible, contact your insurance provider before arranging the tarping installation, as some have preferred vendors or specific requirements. Remember that your policy deductible will apply, so factor this into your budget.
A properly installed roof tarp is effective for up to 90 days. Environmental factors like UV exposure, wind, and precipitation gradually degrade the tarp. In regions with severe weather, the effective lifespan may be considerably shorter. Professional roofers recommend arranging permanent repairs well before reaching this 90-day threshold. Leaving a roof tarp installation beyond this timeframe significantly increases the risk of additional water infiltration and structural complications.
Emergency roof tarping costs 50% to 100% more than a scheduled service. For a 1,500-square-foot area, standard professional tarping ranges from $1,050 to $3,000, while an emergency service for the same area costs between $1,500 and $4,200. This premium reflects after-hours labor rates, expedited response, and immediate availability. Weekend and holiday hours or severe weather emergencies command the highest premiums. When possible, scheduling a service a day or two in advance can yield substantial savings.
