A Tarp Isn't the Repair.
It's What Saves the Repair.
When wind peels shingles back or a limb opens the decking, the water that follows usually does more damage than the storm did. Insulation, drywall, ceilings, floors — that's where the real money bleeds. A properly installed tarp stops the bleeding the day it happens.
Here's the part most homeowners don't know: nearly every policy carries a duty to mitigate — after a storm, you're expected to take reasonable steps to keep the damage from getting worse. Emergency tarping is exactly that step, and when the damage is part of a covered claim, reasonable mitigation costs are routinely part of the claim. I photograph the damage before the tarp goes down and after it's secured, so your file is built from hour one.
And I'll say the quiet part out loud: a tarp is temporary. It's a bridge to the real repair or replacement — not a substitute for it. I install it like it matters, because it does. Then you get a straight plan for what comes next, and if insurance is in play, I walk the claim through with you start to finish.
