What Is Roof Tarping?
Roof tarping is the process of covering damaged sections of a roof with heavy duty waterproof tarps. These tarps are securely fastened to the structure to prevent wind and water from entering the exposed area. While tarping is not a long term fix, it is one of the most effective ways to stabilize your home immediately after damage occurs. Tarpon Roofing uses high quality tarps that are designed to withstand wind, rain, and temporary exposure to the elements. Our team is trained to tarp safely and securely, even in difficult conditions.

• Shingles, tiles, or metal panels have been blown off
• A tree limb or other object has punctured the roof
• Fire or structural collapse has caused open areas
• Hail has created holes or cracks in the surface
• Leaks are visible and growing worse
• You are waiting on insurance approval or repair scheduling

Frequently Asked Questions
How long can a tarp stay on my roof?
A properly installed tarp can stay in place for several weeks if needed. However, it is not a permanent solution. We recommend replacing the tarp with proper repairs as soon as possible to avoid further complications.
Is roof tarping covered by insurance?
Yes, most insurance policies cover emergency tarping as part of the claim process, especially if it helps prevent additional damage. We will help you document everything needed for your claim.
Can I install a tarp on my own?
While it is possible, we strongly advise against it. Roofs are dangerous, especially when damaged or wet. Our team is trained to perform tarping safely and correctly, minimizing risk to both people and property.
Will tarping stop a leak completely?
Tarping is meant to be a temporary barrier. In most cases, it will stop or greatly reduce leaks. However, the only long term solution is a full repair or replacement once the weather allows.
