Tallahassee Roof Pros provides professional emergency roof tarping in Tallahassee, FL for residential and commercial properties across the Big Bend and Red Hills. This is the service the rest of this site is organized around. When a tree opens a roof in Tallahassee, the damage that ends up costing the most is almost never the impact itself. It is the water that came in over the following four days.
A tarp is a structural decision before it is a covering one. If a limb is still resting on the roof, pulling it off can drop a compromised rafter into the room below, and we assess load path before anyone touches it. Sometimes the correct move is to leave the limb in place, build a temporary shore in the attic, and tarp around it until a crane or an arborist can lift rather than drag.
Done properly, a tarp is fastened, not weighted. We run the sheet from above the ridge down past the damage, sandwich the upslope edge between furring strips screwed through into rafters, batten every three to four feet down the field, and wrap the bottom edge around a strip so wind cannot get under it. Sandbags and tires are what blows off at two in the morning. Screws go into rafters, not into plank between them.
Coverage runs well past the visible hole. Water that gets under a shingle course three feet upslope of a puncture will travel down the plank and out through the opening, so we cover to a sound line rather than to the edge of the damage. On plank decking that line is usually further away than the homeowner expects. We chalk the sound line and cover to it.
We are explicit about how long it lasts. A properly battened poly tarp gives you sixty to ninety days in North Florida sun before the material chalks and the grommets tear. Reinforced poly or shrink wrap buys longer and costs more, and on a big opening waiting on an engineer's letter it is often the cheaper choice overall. We note the install date on the tarp itself.
Documentation happens while we are up there because it is worth money to you later. Wide shots showing the tree and the house, close shots of the opening with a tape in frame, attic photos of broken framing, and a time-stamped record of when the temporary cover went on. Carriers ask for exactly that, and nobody can produce it afterward. We send you the file the same day.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — plank decking, self-adhered ice-and-water membrane, ring-shank roofing nails, laminated architectural shingles, 24-gauge standing seam panel, closed-cut valley — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Tallahassee and nearby communities including Quincy, Midway, Chattahoochee, Gretna.

Materials, equipment and how we do emergency roof tarping
The difference between emergency roof tarping that lasts and emergency roof tarping that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with plank decking, self-adhered ice-and-water membrane, ring-shank roofing nails, laminated architectural shingles, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Tallahassee job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the Big Bend and Red Hills means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Tallahassee Chooses Tallahassee Roof Pros
- ✓We inspect from inside the attic first, because plank decking records a limb strike that shingles hide.
- ✓We test fastener grip in the deck before quoting, so repair-versus-replace is a measurement rather than an opinion.
- ✓We price re-decking as a line item up front instead of raising it as a change order mid-job.
- ✓We say no to shingle coatings and to hail claims built on limb damage, even when it costs us the sale.
