Tarped today?
Jon Jon or Justin will pick up. If we can't answer immediately, we call back within the hour during daylight.
Same-day tarping when weather permits a safe climb.
What homeowners feel
Four reasons folks call this number.
Active drip inside the home
Drip into a ceiling, a light fixture, or an attic deck. Every hour the leak runs, drywall gets worse.
Storm just hit
Shingles off, vents leaning, valley exposed. The home needs immediate stabilization before the next rain band.
Tree limb through the deck
Hole in the roof, water in the attic, exposed framing. Same-day priority.
Out-of-town call
Neighbor or property manager spotted water in the soffit while you are away. We coordinate access and stabilize.
Right now
Five things to do before we get there.
Quick steps that protect the house and your future claim.
- 1
Get safe and dry
Move belongings out of the drip path. Set buckets. Cut power to wet rooms.
- 2
Photograph everything
Wide shots of the ceiling, room, and exterior. Save these — your insurance may need them.
- 3
Call us
(251) 406-3624. We aim for same-day tarping where it's safe to climb.
- 4
Stay off the roof
Wet shingles are slick. Let us handle the climb. We carry harnesses, anchors, and the right tarp.
- 5
Save your receipts
Hotel, food, anything you spent because of the leak. Many policies reimburse loss-of-use.
How it works
From your call to a dry house.
Step 1
Call the main line
Tell us a leak is active. We re-sequence the day to get you stabilized.
Step 2
Tarp the leak
Tarp on the roof, weighted and fastened, with attic ventilation in mind.
Step 3
Document for the claim
Photos of the source and the tarp position go to you and your insurer.
Step 4
Schedule the real repair
Once the home is safe, we schedule the full fix with you on your timeline.
When to expect us
Honest timing.
Same day
If you call before noon and the weather allows a safe climb, we aim to be on site the same day for an emergency tarp.
Next morning
After-hours calls and active-storm conditions push the tarp to first light the next day. We do not climb in the dark or in lightning.
Permanent repair
Permanent repair is usually scheduled within the same week once materials are matched and the deck is dry.
What we bring
On the truck for every emergency call.
Heavy reinforced tarps
Sized to the roof slope and weighted appropriately for Gulf Coast wind.
Sandbags, fasteners, ridge boards
Anchoring system that protects the shingle while the tarp does its job.
Temporary flashing for penetrations
Where the leak is at a pipe boot or vent, we tarp around the penetration without removing it.
Interior protection
Plastic and absorbent material to limit damage inside while the source is stabilized.
Warranty
Emergency repair warranty.
Permanent repairs carry our stabilization-only workmanship warranty. Emergency tarps are temporary stabilization — they buy time for the real repair, not a long-term solution.
Photo proof
