When do you need a tarp rather than a repair?
When water is coming in and the permanent repair cannot happen today — which is most of the time after a storm. Tarping is triage: it stops the loss growing while the claim, the materials and the weather sort themselves out.
- Missing shingles or an open section after wind
- Tree or limb strike through the deck
- Active leak with rain forecast before repair is possible
- Roof opened up and weather moving in mid-project
Your policy has a duty to protect property clause requiring you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage. Tarping is that step, and its cost is usually payable as mitigation.
How is a tarp actually installed?
Properly, so it holds through the next storm rather than flapping loose by morning. Heavy-duty reinforced poly, run up over the ridge where the damage allows, wrapped and secured at the edges with battens rather than nailed straight through the field, and lapped so water sheds over the seams instead of into them.
A badly installed tarp channels water into the building. We photograph before, during and after, which matters because your carrier will want to see the pre-existing damage that was covered up.
Does insurance pay for the tarp?
Usually yes, as emergency mitigation under the duty to protect property clause, and often without a separate deductible. Keep the invoice — it is submitted as part of the claim.
What matters is documentation taken before the tarp goes on. Once the roof is covered, the damage underneath is invisible to the adjuster, and undocumented damage becomes an argument. See insurance claims in Orchard Park.
Coverage is decided by your carrier under your policy language.

How fast can you get there?
+
Emergencies are prioritised, day or night. Call (716) 592-6577.

+
We tell you what we find and photograph it before covering it, so nothing gets hidden under the tarp.
