Emergency Tarping

When You Need Emergency Tarping

Emergency roof tarping is the critical first step after any event that leaves your roof exposed to the elements. Without immediate protection, a compromised roof can lead to thousands of dollars in secondary damage — water-soaked insulation, destroyed drywall, mold growth, and even structural rot.

Common situations that require emergency tarping include:

• Hailstorms that crack or dislodge shingles, exposing the roof deck
• High winds that peel back large sections of roofing material
• Fallen trees or large branches that puncture the roof
• Heavy snow loads that cause partial roof collapse or structural failure
• Active leaks during rain or snowmelt that cannot wait for a scheduled repair
• Fire damage that leaves portions of the roof open to weather

Our Emergency Response Process

When you call Frame Restoration for emergency tarping, our response is fast and systematic. We understand that a damaged roof is an urgent situation, and we treat it that way.

• Immediate Phone Assessment: We gather details about the damage over the phone so our crew arrives with the right equipment
• Same-Day Dispatch: Our tarping crews are available 24/7 and can typically be on-site within hours across the Wasatch Front
• Professional Installation: We use heavy-duty tarps secured with lumber and fasteners — not the lightweight hardware store tarps that blow off in the next storm
• Damage Documentation: While on-site, we photograph and document all damage for your insurance claim

What Happens After Tarping

Emergency tarping is a temporary solution designed to prevent further damage while permanent repairs are planned and scheduled. Once your roof is tarped and secured, Frame Restoration shifts into full assessment mode.

We conduct a thorough inspection of the entire roof — not just the obviously damaged areas — to identify every issue that needs to be addressed. We then provide you with a detailed scope of work and help you decide whether a repair or full replacement makes the most sense based on the extent of the damage, the age of your roof, and your insurance coverage.

Our tarps are rated to withstand Utah's weather for weeks, giving you time to make the right decision without rushing into a permanent fix under pressure.

Insurance & Emergency Tarping

Emergency tarping is almost always covered by your homeowner's insurance policy as part of "mitigation" — the steps you take to prevent further damage after a covered event. In fact, most policies require you to take reasonable steps to protect your property, and tarping is one of the most common mitigation measures.

Frame Restoration documents the tarping work with photos, receipts, and a detailed report that we submit directly to your insurance company. This documentation becomes part of your overall claim and helps establish the timeline and severity of the damage — which strengthens your case for a full repair or replacement.
