How fast can you tarp a roof?

Same day during business hours, often within a few hours of the call. Active storm response (during the actual rain event) is harder — we'll come when it's safe to climb, usually as soon as winds drop. A temporary tarp keeps water out for 30-90 days while you arrange permanent repair.

Will my insurance cover storm damage?

Wind, hail, and wind-driven rain are standard covered perils on homeowners policies. Flood (rising water from outside) needs a separate flood policy. Earth movement (mudslide) is a separate exclusion. Most storm losses end up partially covered — wind damage covered, ground-water portion not. We document the cause clearly so adjusters can apply coverage correctly.
