Why Choose Us
Why Choose Our 24/7 Emergency Tarping
24/7 emergency tarping from ARCM Roofing means a qualified crew shows up prepared, works safely, and leaves your home watertight. We've tarped hundreds of roofs after hailstorms, windstorms, and falling limbs, and that experience shows in how quickly we work.
Top-rated by local homeowners and property managers, ARCM Roofing treats emergency tarping as the first step in restoring your roof, not a quick patch job. Our crews respect your property, clean up debris, and explain exactly what they found up there.
Our differentiators set us apart from storm chasers and general handymen:
Roofing expertise behind every tarp
We're roofers first. Our technicians assess decking damage, identify compromised flashing, and spot hidden leaks that an untrained installer would miss.
Workmanship guarantee
If our tarp fails due to installation error, we return and re-secure it at no charge.
Transparent pricing
You get a clear quote before we climb the ladder. No surprise fees. No inflated emergency markups.
Insurance claim support
We document damage with timestamped photos, write detailed condition reports, and communicate directly with adjusters when you authorize it.
Seamless path to permanent repair
Because we're a full-service roofing contractor, the same company that tarps your roof can shingle, seal, and waterproof it permanently.
Warning Signs
Signs You Need 24/7 Emergency Tarping
24/7 emergency tarping becomes necessary the moment your roof envelope fails and water gains a path into your home. Watch for these five warning signs:
Missing or Displaced Shingles After a Storm
High winds lift asphalt shingles, break the sealant bond, and expose the underlayment beneath. Once that underlayment tears or the felt paper degrades, rainwater reaches your roof decking within hours. Bare spots on your roof after a storm demand immediate coverage.
Tree Limbs or Debris Punctures
A fallen oak branch can crack decking, crush rafters, and open a hole straight into your attic. Even a small puncture channels gallons of water into insulation and drywall during a single downpour. Tarp the breach before the next rain band arrives.
Active Interior Leaks
Water stains spreading across your ceiling, dripping light fixtures, or bubbling paint signal that water has already breached the roof system. At this stage, every hour without protection multiplies the damage to framing, insulation, and finishes.
Hail Damage to the Roof Surface
Hailstones bruise shingle mats, crack tiles, and dent metal panels. Fractured shingles lose granules fast and let moisture seep through impact points. If a hailstorm just moved through, an inspection and protective tarp can prevent slow leaks from becoming structural rot.
Fire or Partial Roof Collapse
After a house fire or structural failure, exposed sections of your home need immediate weatherproofing. Emergency tarping shields salvageable belongings, prevents mold growth, and satisfies most insurance policy requirements to mitigate further loss.
Spot any of these signs? Call ARCM Roofing. Fast action protects your claim and your home.
How We Work
Our 24/7 Emergency Tarping Process
24/7 emergency tarping at ARCM Roofing follows a proven five-step process that gets your roof covered fast and correctly.
01
Emergency Dispatch
You call, and a live dispatcher gathers details about your roof damage, your address, and current weather conditions. We schedule the closest available crew immediately.
02
On-Site Damage Assessment
Our technicians inspect the damaged area, check the decking for structural integrity, and measure the coverage zone. We photograph everything for your insurance file before touching the roof.
03
Surface Preparation
The crew clears loose debris, removes broken shingle fragments, and trims hanging branches that could puncture the tarp. A clean surface prevents abrasion and premature tarp failure.
04
Tarp Installation
We roll heavy-duty polyethylene sheeting past the ridge line, extend it beyond the damaged zone on all sides, and anchor it with furring strips fastened through the tarp into sound decking. Proper overlap and drainage slope stop water from pooling.
05
Final Inspection and Documentation
We verify every anchor point, confirm the tarp sheds water toward the eaves, and walk you through our findings. You receive photos, a condition report, and a written estimate for permanent repairs.
Most emergency tarping jobs wrap up within two hours of crew arrival. Your home stays dry until we return to repair the roof for good.

FAQs
FAQs About 24/7 Emergency Tarping
›What is 24/7 emergency tarping?
24/7 emergency tarping is a rapid response service that covers damaged roof sections with heavy-duty waterproof tarps. It stops water intrusion after storms, fallen trees, hail, or fire until permanent repairs begin.
›When should I call for emergency tarping?
Call as soon as you notice missing shingles, active leaks, punctures, or visible roof damage. Waiting even one rainstorm can turn a minor repair into replaced drywall, soaked insulation, and mold remediation.
›How does emergency tarping work?
Our crew inspects the damage, clears debris, then anchors reinforced poly tarps over the affected area using furring strips and cap nails. The tarp extends past the damage on all sides and sheds water toward the eaves.
›How long does an emergency tarp last?
A professionally installed tarp protects your roof for up to 90 days under normal conditions. We recommend scheduling permanent repairs within a few weeks for the best results.
›Can insurance cover emergency tarping?
Most homeowner policies cover emergency tarping as loss mitigation. We provide timestamped photos and detailed reports that support your claim, and many carriers reimburse the full cost.
›Does ARCM Roofing tarp all roof types?
Yes. Our crews tarp asphalt shingle, metal, tile, and flat roofs. We adjust anchoring methods for each material to prevent further damage during installation.
›Why choose a roofing contractor over a handyman for tarping?
A qualified roofer spots hidden decking damage, documents everything correctly for insurance, and can complete the permanent repair afterward. One trusted company handles the entire recovery.
