Emergency Roof Tarping Service in Georgia

Your First Line of Defense After the Storm

IMMEDIATE PROTECTION WHEN YOU NEED IT MOST

A major storm, a fire, or a fallen tree can leave your roof critically exposed, creating a direct path for water to pour into your home. In these moments, immediate action is crucial to prevent catastrophic secondary damage to your ceilings, walls, and belongings.

True Hand Roofing provides 24/7 emergency roof tarping services across Georgia. Our rapid-response team will securely and professionally cover the damaged areas of your roof, providing a temporary but vital shield against the elements.

Why Immediate Tarping is Critical

Putting a tarp on your roof is more than just a temporary patch; it’s an essential step in mitigating damage and protecting your property.

Prevents Water Damage

A properly installed tarp immediately stops water from entering your home, saving you from thousands of dollars in interior repairs.

Required by Insurance

Most insurance policies require you to take reasonable steps to mitigate further damage after a loss. Tarping your roof is a key part of this responsibility.

Secures Your Property

It covers openings to protect your home from wind, debris, and pests while you await permanent repairs.

Gives You Time

A secure tarp provides a safe window of time to properly assess the damage, contact your insurance company, and plan for a permanent roof repair or replacement without rush.

Our Safe & Secure Tarping Method

Not all tarp jobs are created equal. Improperly installed tarps can easily blow off or channel water *underneath* them, making the problem worse. We use a professional method to ensure a secure, watertight seal.

Step 1: Rapid Dispatch

When you call, we dispatch a team to your location as quickly as possible, often within hours.

Step 2: Safety First Assessment

Our crew first assesses the structural stability of the roof to ensure it is safe to work on. We prioritize the safety of our team and your property.

Step 3: Debris Removal & Measurement

We carefully remove any loose debris from the damaged area and take precise measurements to ensure the tarp provides complete coverage.

Step 4: Secure Installation

We use heavy-duty, reinforced tarps and secure them using wood battens and specialized fasteners. We never nail directly into your roof’s surface, which can cause more damage. Our method is designed to hold fast against wind and rain.

Do Not Attempt to Tarp Your Own Roof

A storm-damaged roof is a dangerous environment.

Walking on a wet, debris-covered, and potentially structurally compromised roof can lead to serious injury or death.

Please, leave this dangerous job to the trained and properly equipped professionals. Your safety is not worth the risk.

Risk of Falls

Wet shingles are incredibly slippery.

Hidden Dangers

You may not see soft spots or structural damage.

Electrical Hazards

Downed power lines can be a deadly risk.
