Emergency Roofing Services We Provide
Emergency Tarping
When storm damage leaves sections of your roof open to weather — missing shingles, damaged decking, or structural failure from tornado impact — emergency tarping is your first line of defense. We secure heavy-duty tarps over exposed areas using mechanical fastening methods that hold through continued wind and rain while your permanent repair is scheduled.
Emergency tarping stops active water intrusion from entering your attic and living spaces. Every hour without protection allows water damage to spread further through insulation, drywall, and structural components — increasing your total repair cost and complicating your insurance claim.
Temporary Roof Sealing
For smaller emergency situations — active leaks through failed flashing, cracked pipe boots, or isolated shingle failure during or after a storm — we apply temporary roof cement and flashing repairs to stop water infiltration until a comprehensive repair or replacement can be scheduled.
Storm Damage Stabilization
Tornado and severe wind damage can compromise structural roof components including rafters, ridge boards, and decking. We assess structural integrity, provide temporary stabilization where needed, and document all structural damage for insurance purposes before permanent repair begins.
Emergency Board-Up for Interior Protection
When storm damage creates openings that expose interior spaces to weather, we provide emergency board-up services to protect furniture, flooring, and belongings from further damage while the roofing repair is scheduled and approved by insurance.

What Happens After Emergency Tarping
Emergency tarping is a temporary solution — it stops the immediate bleeding but doesn’t fix the underlying damage. Here’s what comes next:
- Full damage assessment: Once the immediate emergency is stabilized, we conduct a comprehensive inspection of your entire roof system — not just the visibly damaged areas.
- Insurance claim filing: Emergency tarping costs are typically covered by your homeowner’s insurance as part of your storm damage claim. We document all emergency work performed for inclusion in your claim.
- Permanent repair or replacement: Based on our assessment and your insurance approval, we schedule and complete either targeted repairs or a full roof replacement.
Emergency Roof Repair & Your Insurance
Most Oklahoma homeowner insurance policies cover emergency roofing costs (tarping, stabilization) as part of a qualifying storm damage claim. The key: document everything. We photograph all damage before, during, and after emergency work — providing your insurer with a complete record of what was done and why.
Important: do not delay emergency protection while waiting for your insurance company to respond. Your policy likely requires you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage after a covered loss. Failure to tarp a storm-damaged roof can result in your insurer reducing your claim for “failure to mitigate.”

Emergency Roof Repair FAQs
How fast can you respond to an emergency in Oklahoma?
During active storm season, we prioritize emergency calls and target same-day or next-day response for emergency tarping. Response times may extend during widespread storm events affecting multiple communities simultaneously. Call us and we’ll give you an honest timeline based on current conditions.
How much does emergency tarping cost?
Emergency tarping typically ranges from $300–$800 for residential roofs, depending on size and damage extent. If your damage is covered by insurance, tarping costs are included in your claim. We provide a written estimate before any emergency work begins.
Should I call my insurance company before calling you?
Call us first if you need immediate emergency protection. Getting your roof tarped quickly is your priority — insurance calls can happen in parallel. We can help you file your claim correctly once the immediate emergency is addressed. Waiting for insurer approval before tarping can result in significantly expanded interior damage.
Will emergency tarping affect my insurance claim?
Properly documented emergency tarping is covered by most Oklahoma storm damage policies and does not negatively affect your claim. In fact, failure to tarp can reduce your claim if your insurer determines you failed to prevent avoidable additional damage. We document all emergency work for clean claim inclusion.
