Emergency tarping: how a dry-in works

Any hour, any weather. We dry in the damage the same night, and the cost of the tarp comes off the repair or the replacement. One number, (503) 555-0148, reaches a roofer, not an answering service, around the clock.

We use heavy-gauge reinforced tarps sized well past the damage on every side, run them up and over the ridge so water can't get under the top edge, and fasten them with wood strapping screwed through the tarp into the decking so the wind can't peel them off. If a limb is through the roof we cut it back, sheet the hole with plywood, and tarp over that. If it's a large opening we shore the framing inside so the ceiling doesn't come down.

The tarp holds until the repair or replacement is done, and the tarp fee comes off that final invoice. If you're filing an insurance claim, emergency mitigation is a covered expense on nearly every homeowner's policy, and we photograph the damage before we cover it so the claim has the evidence it needs. Anywhere in our Portland-area service territory, we aim to be on site within a few hours of your call.

5 out of 5 stars

The January wind storm took shingles off half the street's roofs. Ridgeline had a tarp on ours that same evening, met our adjuster the following week and walked him through every lifted tab they'd flagged. Claim approved for a full replacement. Crew finished in a day and a half and ran the magnet over the lawn twice.

Fir limb through the roof at 9pm on a Sunday. Called the number, a person picked up, two guys had it tarped by 11. Insurance covered the whole thing and they handled the paperwork. Can't ask for more.

Tell us what you are seeing and send a photo if you have one: the ceiling stain, the shingles in the yard, the tree on the roof. A roofer texts you back within 15 minutes during business hours, and we come out, walk the roof and the attic, and leave you a photo report and a written price. No charge, no obligation, and a straight answer on whether an insurance claim is worth filing.
