Emergency roof tarp and board-up services are the first thing a damaged property needs and the last thing most people think of. A storm tears off part of the roof, a fire burns out a window, or a break-in leaves a door hanging open, and suddenly the building is exposed to everything outside.
The damage that’s already happened is bad enough. What I worry about is the damage that comes next. Rain pours through an open roof, wind gets inside, and a vacant, open property invites more trouble. Covering it quickly is one of the simplest and most valuable things anyone can do, and it’s what this service is for.
What Emergency Roof Tarp and Board-Up Services Are
It’s temporary protection for a damaged property:
- Roof tarping: Heavy-duty tarps are secured over damaged areas of the roof to keep rain and debris out.
- Board-up: Broken windows, doors, and other openings are covered and secured with boards.
These aren’t permanent repairs. They’re a stopgap that protects the property until a proper repair can be done.
When You Might Need It
- Storm, wind, or rain damage to the roof
- A fallen tree or large branch through the roof
- Fire damage that left holes in the roof or walls
- Broken windows or doors from a break-in or accident
- A vehicle impact to the building
Why Speed Matters With Emergency Roof Tarp and Board-Up Services
An opening in a building lets in water, and water keeps causing damage while it’s there. Wet ceilings, soaked insulation, and damp walls can lead to bigger repairs and, if they stay wet long enough, mold. An unsecured property can also be exposed to theft and trespassing.
Many insurance policies also expect you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage after a loss. I can’t speak to your specific policy, so it’s worth checking with your carrier, but covering the property quickly is almost always the right move.
What Happens When You Call
- You call us. We ask what happened, whether anyone is hurt, and what condition the property is in.
- We assess the damage. We look at the roof, windows, and doors to decide what needs covering.
- We secure the property. Roof openings are tarped, and windows and doors are boarded.
- We plan what’s next. If water got in, we move to drying and cleanup.
You can read more about our emergency roof tarp and board-up services on our emergency roof tarp and board-up page.
Please Stay Off the Roof
It’s tempting to climb up and try to cover a hole yourself, especially when rain is coming. Please don’t. Roofs are slippery, damaged areas can give way, and people get seriously hurt doing this. It’s a job for a professional, and the building can wait a few hours longer than you can afford to risk.
What You Can Do Before We Arrive
- Move belongings away from areas where water is coming in, if it’s safe.
- Place buckets or containers under active drips.
- Take photos from the ground and from inside, showing the damage.
- If there’s a sagging ceiling, keep people and pets away from it.
- Stay clear of any downed power lines or damaged electrical equipment.
A Temporary Fix, Not the Whole Job
I want to be upfront about what emergency roof tarp and board-up services are. Tarping and boarding protects your property, but it doesn’t repair the roof. A roofer is the right person for a permanent roof repair. What we do is make sure the building is protected while that gets arranged.
If water got inside, that’s where the rest of our work comes in. See our water damage restoration page for drying, our fire and smoke damage restoration page if fire was involved, and our reconstruction service for rebuilding. The IICRC publishes industry standards for restoration if you want to see what a careful process involves.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are emergency roof tarp and board-up services permanent?
No. It’s temporary protection that keeps water out until a permanent repair is done.
Do you repair the roof?
No. We protect the property and handle the damage inside. A roofer handles permanent roof repairs, and we can coordinate timing.
How long can a tarp stay on?
It’s meant to be temporary, so permanent repairs should be arranged as soon as possible. We can talk through what makes sense for your property.
Can you board up windows and doors at night?
Yes. We’re available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, because damage and break-ins don’t follow business hours.
