Emergency Tarping Services
A storm can blow shingles off, leaving your decking exposed with no warning. Every hour of delay is another opportunity for water to soak into your roof structure. We get a properly secured tarp over the damaged area fast, using weighted or anchored battens and fasteners. If you’re dealing with broader storm damage beyond the roof itself, we can help with that, too.
A tree impact is a different situation than wind damage because you’re often dealing with structural compromise alongside the opening. We assess the extent of the damage before we tarp so we’re not covering up a problem that needs to be evaluated first. The tarp goes on in a way that protects the opening without putting additional load on rafters that may already be compromised.
Severe weather events in the Tri-State area can leave widespread roof damage across a neighborhood. We prioritize emergency tarping calls after major weather events and work through them as quickly as conditions allow. If you’ve got partial storm damage to other parts of your home alongside the roof, let us know when you call so we can assess the full scope.
Limbs fall every day. The damage can range from cracked shingles to a full breach in the decking. We tarp the affected area quickly to stop water from getting into your home. If the limb is still on the roof, we’ll remove it before the tarp goes on. Our roofing crew can also document the damage and help you file a homeowner’s insurance claim for the incident.
Roofs don’t always fail because of a single dramatic event. Sometimes it’s years of deferred maintenance that finally gives way, and an interior leak becomes an emergency overnight. If you’re dealing with an active leak and there’s no storm to blame, we’ll still get the roof protected. Once the tarp is in place, our roofing crew can assess whether you’re looking at a targeted repair, flashing replacement, or something more involved.
After a house fire, the roof is often left partially open after firefighting efforts, and a tarp is one of the first things that needs to happen before any remediation work can begin. We work alongside restoration crews and can coordinate with your insurance adjuster to document the condition before and after the tarp goes on. Getting the structure dried out quickly matters for everything that comes after.
Tarping mistakes can turn a manageable repair into a costly one. We carry a full array of tarp sizes to cover the compromised zone with meaningful overlap onto undamaged material on all sides. Cutting it too close to save on material is how emergency tarps fail. Tarping may seem simple, but never take a do-it-yourself approach to roof repair!
A tarp that blows off in the next storm is worse than no tarp because it gives you false confidence. We anchor tarps to the roof structure, not just the surface, using methods that hold through normal post-storm wind conditions. If conditions are too dangerous to do it right, we’ll tell you so rather than put something up that won’t last.
Most homeowner’s policies cover emergency tarping as part of a storm damage claim, and proper documentation matters for getting reimbursed. We photograph the damage before and after, provide written documentation of what was covered and how, and can work directly with your adjuster. This is the same process we use for our broader storm damage repair work.

Frequently Asked Emergency Tarping Questions
What counts as a roofing emergency?
If there’s an opening in your roof that’s exposing your home to water, it’s an emergency. That includes missing shingles over a wide area, a hole from a fallen tree or debris, fire damage, or any situation where you can see daylight or feel air movement from inside your attic. If you’re unsure whether your situation qualifies, call us and describe what you’re seeing. We’d rather talk you through it than have you wait.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency tarping call?
It depends on current conditions and call volume, particularly after a major storm event. We work through emergency calls as fast as conditions safely allow and communicate realistic timeframes when you call. Trying to tarp a roof in dangerous wind or lightning conditions puts our crew at risk and usually results in a tarp that doesn’t hold anyway.
How long will an emergency tarp last?
A properly installed tarp should hold through normal weather for several weeks to a couple of months, depending on conditions and the quality of the installation. They’re not indefinite solutions, and UV exposure degrades them over time. We’ll be clear about the expected lifespan so you know how urgently to pursue a permanent repair.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover emergency tarping?
In most cases, yes. Emergency tarping is typically considered a covered mitigation measure under storm damage claims because it prevents further loss. We document everything before and after and can work directly with your adjuster. Coverage always depends on your specific policy, so review it and contact your insurer as soon as the immediate situation is stabilized.
Do you handle the permanent roof repair after tarping?
Yes. Our roofing team handles everything from the emergency tarp through the finished repair. If the damage extends beyond the roof to siding, windows, or interior renovations, we handle those too. You don’t need a separate contractor for each part of the job.
Is tarping safe to do myself?
Working on a damaged roof carries real fall risk under normal conditions, and post-storm roofs can be especially unstable. Getting the right tarp, sizing it correctly, and anchoring it in a way that holds takes more than a trip to the hardware store. We’ve seen plenty of DIY tarps fail in the first wind event after installation. The call to a professional is worth it.
What information should I have ready when I call?
Your address, a general description of what happened and when, and a sense of the size of the affected area if you can tell from ground level or through the attic. Photos help if you can take them safely from the ground or through an attic hatch. Don’t go on the roof yourself to assess it.
Do you serve areas outside Evansville?
Yes. We cover Evansville and the greater Tri-State area including Newburgh, Henderson, and surrounding communities. If you’re not sure whether you’re in our service area, give us a call.
Can you work with my insurance adjuster directly?
Yes. We’re experienced with the insurance documentation process from our storm damage repair work and can coordinate directly with adjusters. We provide thorough before-and-after documentation and honest assessments that support your claim without inflating scope.
What if the damage is to more than just the roof?
We handle it. CodeShield’s services cover roofing, storm damage restoration, siding, windows, and home renovations. If a tree took out part of your roof and punched through a wall, you can work with one contractor instead of coordinating multiple crews.
